The Fruits of Obsession, or, Holy F*cking Sh*t!

In a nearly unprecedented event (for anything remotely similar I must return to my 1976 triumph in the coloring contest sponsored by the Colorado Springs Gazette, wherein I won 2 tickets to The Slipper and the Rose. Yes, the Richard Chamberlain musical.) Anyways, I was shocked yesterday to pick up a phone message from Vicki at Scholastic, informing me that I was one of the winners in this sweepstakes. JK Rowling. Carnegie Hall. October. JK Rowling. I had totally forgotten I filled out an entry, way back during the peak of Deathly Hallows mania. JK Rowling. Carnegie Hall. JK Rowling.

Holy f*cking sh*t!!!!

The Good, the Bads and the Query

The Good
Today at lunch I was running a bunch of errands when I was stopped on the street by a fashionably dressed woman who wanted to know where I got my handbag. Me - (looking down to see what I was carrying) oh - it's vintage. Her - It's fabulous. Me - (says) Thank you. (Thinks - that was $7.00 well spent!)

The Bads
Today at lunch I was running a bunch of errands - on my first day back in winter shoes - closed toe, closed heel, 3 inches. What was I thinking? Ouch
The humidity is gone, and with it my easy curls - I'm back to straightening my hair - it is more reliable in this weather - but also time consuming. Sigh.

The Query
Today at lunch I was running a bunch of errands. As I was hobbling back towards the office, I passed f'ing Macy's, where I saw a large corner window display advertising Martha Stewart linens. Hmmmm, K-Mart to Macy's? Lateral move?

The Divine Tim Gunn - Boxers or Briefs?

Doctor Who - The Master Plays

I've just finished writing a Strongly Worded letter to an annoying Large Financial Institution in the course of my work - here is what I watch to celebrate its completion.

I cannot even express the joy I feel having this right here - on my blog.
