I found mine -- Steve Madden wedges -- at Off Broadway Shoes, for $49.99.

I think they are last season's because I can't find them on the internet anywhere.

I'm doing a little laundry, but need more quarters before I could really do most of it. Much as freshly laundered sheets are fabulous, there's something not as thrilling about doing a load of sheets as there is about doing clothes. Why is that? But the sheets needed doing...you'd THINK, sleeping with women, I wouldn't have as much of a problem. But noooooo.

I just bought my ticket to St. Thomas, USVI for January. I'll be gone for 17 days. WOOT!!!!!!!

Winter tan, here I come!

I really miss rain. You Pacific Northwestistas are really making me want to move north. I love it up there so very much.

Not going to happen, of course. ND kind of has to be in LA, and I love my school here too. Also, he has a serious issue with being soggy, which might be a problem.

But some days I really wish it were possible.

ETA: Oh vw, I'm very happy for you and extremely jealous. Have so much fun!

Rain. Bah. Humbug.

Worst line from a commercial for DIY - "Oh yeah? Wait'll you see what I do in the bathroom."

There are so many other ways she could've worded that. IJS.

Last night I had the niggling feeling that I had to be up by 5am today to do a couple of reports (from home). I came to the conclusion that I had 5am in my head just because that's when I normally get up on a non holiday Monday. But no - the reason was because SAP (the system I need for my reports) was going to be down for a scheduled outage from 6am - 6pm. Too bad I didn't remember that until 7 this morning. Grr.

I am sooooo jealous, vw!

That is so sad and wrong. 5AM is just wrong. Gah.

Of course, it's even worse that you were supposed ot be up then on a holiday!

There are two bad things about being in St. Thomas for 17 days.

1) The people I am staying with only have dial-up. There are only 2 internet cafes on the island, and really, I can't afford to rack up the hours there.

2) My cell phone charges for roaming.

Don't you feel sorry for me? I'm gonna have to just be a beach bumb the whole time. It's gonna be so hard!

5AM is just wrong.

You're telling me. I'm a night owl at heart and peak season (basically the entire summer, since it's beer) just kills me. It obviously kills brain cells, anyway.

Working my way through my second venti coffee and still haven't accomplished much today other than watching a couple episodes of The Closer. Yay for marathons of shows I've never seen! However, it's not getting me any "closer" (heh) to having a clean house.

eta: oh dear, vw. I had no idea of the hardships you'd have to endure. You poor thing. :)

BUT! I get to Stephanie and Ellie!!!!!!!!

Must e-mail to figure out which weekend will work best!
