random thoughts

I love The Office.
I had spinach salad with goat cheese, cranberries and pecans for dinner.
The phone is ringing and I'm not getting up.
I tripped over the (very sturdy) stool in my kitchen this morning and was sure I had broken my leg... especially when the part of the leg below the point of impact went numb. It's fine now but wow! That was some awful pain!
Austin has a bad cold. Again.
I'm a little creeped out by Mo'Nique and her "open marriage". No. That's wrong.
Planning a trip ITP (inside the perimeter - I-285 for those of you who aren't from atlanta) for Stasha's birthday. She wants to go to the Hard Rock Cafe.
Ironically... that's where I was supposed to meet Michael when we first met for our blind date.
I didn't want to go into a crowded place so I met him right next door to the Hard Rock... at a Vietnam War memorial... to my first husband's father... ironic, right?
I haven't been back since. It will be good to go. I try to go periodically to put flowers on the monument out of respect to my kids' grandfather. I just haven't been in awhile.
Maybe Stasha and I can go to the World of Coke. I've never been. My friend Gina works there as a German interpreter.
I keep waiting for the part where I hate being single. I spent my whole life afraid of being single and I've been completely unattached for 18 months now... and it ain't bad! Why do people swing from bad relationship to bad relationship instead of taking time to realize how complete they are without a signficant other???
The Oscars last night were boring and predictable and cheesy. George Clooney seemed completely unaffectionate to Elisabetta. I predict that she is on the way out. His women have a shelf life shortly shorter than that of my ex-husband... around a year and a half... clock's ticking sweetie. You'll be a barista or cocktail waitress or flight attendant or whatever you were before you became Cinderella again soon.
Ryan's back home in Pennsylvania. I want to go spend some time with him this summer and see his place. I also want to go stalk Jon and Kate's house and I want to go to Scranton - home of The Office. The Office is filmed in L.A but there are tours of the places mentioned in the show.
My toes are still sort of tingly from where I whacked my leg. I'll live. It just gives me some leverage to make Austin do stuff for me.
Smart Ones are 5 for ten bucks at Ingles this week. Austin loves Smart Ones.
My tv plans for tonight... a documentary on the Warner Brothers on TCM and then the Fashion police on E! I'm diverse. I'll also flip back and forth to the Anthony Bourdains's No Reservations episodes. Love him.
I'm craving cupcakes. I haven't EATEN any, just thinking about it.
Freaky muscle spasms in my foot. Ugh.
Ok... that's enough random for now. Happy Monday evening, y'all!

I am loving being single too! as for that leg, be careful, if you broke the lining of the bone, you will see some swelling soon. and horrible bruising. just sayin'... just cause you didn't break it, doesn't mean you aren't hurt...

I didn't watch the oscars. But I have checked out some of the dresses. I hated Mariah Carey's dress. Did think it was the least bit flattering to her full figure....

I actually have a couple of the No Reservations collections. I say collections because they are not full seasons, which is so not cool! I did not watch the Oscars but glad that Sandra Bullock won one. I have been to the Hard Rock in Key West. I loved it! They kept the dacquaries in a Slurpee machine, they were so cold you could not taste the alcohol. Have fun!!

MONIQUE..IF YOU WERE AS HAPPY WITH THE WHOLE WEIGHT THING AS YOU SAY YOU ARE YOU WOULDN'T TELL YOUR MAN IT'S OKAY FOR HIM TO CHEAT...JUST SAYING...
