I post because I love. Cashmere.

I got a lovely email from Landsend.com saying that I could give my lovely readers an exclusive preview on tomorrow’s deal of $50 for some cashmere items which are normally $89. Other Lands’ End shoppers don’t know tomorrow’s deal yet. That is almost two for one! weeee! What colours? If you buy one let me know so we can luxuriate together.
I have some Landsend giveaways from some fleece jackets and a kids lunchbox coming up ASAP.

My twilight years

Filed under: Uncategorized — jennifer @ 10:27 am

shortest non review ever. WARNING: squealing teenagers might ruin intense, intimate moments that are intended to be serious. This is why I see a movie in a theatre only once a year. I wanted to stand up and scream shut the fuck up you ignorant virgins, but thought that might be inappropriate. I do not care what anyone says. This is not a book that most adolescents can truly “get” or understand. The characters are teenagers, but the themes are not. It is not a book about an accidental vampire crush and the prom. The end.
Robert Pattison, who plays Edward is now on my “list”. He is 22, as I keep repeating to myself, over and over. He is legal! I still feel dirty.

I am at the W Hotel in NYC on Lexington. My friend and I are in a tiny room with 2 single beds, but it is such a nice stylin’ hotel. Our room is like an awesome version of University housing/residence. Mini bar, flat screen tv, free toiletries. So similar, yet different. Also, some guy name Tim from the front desk went to the Apple store here (OPEN 24 HOURS) and bought be an ethernet adapter because there is no wireless here. WTF? Anyways, we tormented Tim for a half an hour about our commie pink socialist government in Canada and he was all down with it. Cool guy. He got a tip and a boc of Coffee Crisp chocolate bars.
Tomorrow I am going with my friend to a seminar on emerging markets at Goldman Sachs. Seriously. If they have internet I will be twittering about how I KNOW nothing about what they are talking about. I hope there are pastries and coffee at the very minimum. THEN, we are going to get my friend’s haircut at Nick Arrojo’s Salon. That dude from What Not To Wear. Again, Seriously.
We have a full day tomorrow and Sunday, it is insanity, but great. I hope to keep an update on my New York adventure!
Lovin’ youuuuuuu is easy ’cause your beaooooooutiful…… la de da de da … AAAAAAAHHHHH
jen – going to sleep. 6:30 am wakeup call is going to be an early and cruel time.

President Obama sounds so nice. I am happy for my American friends and for the rest of us who have to put up with you. :-)
I WAS excited about getting my hair cut and my eyebrows waxed tomorrow, but it all seems sort of anticlimactic now.
I leave Thursday for NYC and hope I can help you out by spending too much on clothes and shoes.
I am thrilled and speechless right now.
Congratulations.

oh crapity

While I was busy watching The Daily Show, I missed the NaPoBloMo deadline by almost an hour.
I have been madly doing laundry, so I can pack from a bigger choice of clean clothes. Fluffing, folding, putting away. It never ends. Laundry is the ultimate mobius strip of household chores.
My last work out with my trainer for a week and she nearly killed me. She has one of those fancy Reformer pilates machines and it is like torture but it is also making me Hulkishly strong. JEN SMASH! errr something.
Tomorrow, Apple Genius Bar for gibbly clicky bar thingy on the MacBook Air, the bank, trying to find someone to wax my freakin’ eyebrows, and more laundry. Also packing scrutiny while checking the weather in NYC compulsively.
I still need a bath before bed. My glutes are killin’ me.
I should have saved the boob news for this post. Weeeee

Putting Lipstick on a pig

Filed under: Uncategorized — jennifer @ 10:32 pm

UPDATE: I thought i wasn’t getting any comments and realized that when I was getting spammed to heck a week or so ago, I set my filters a little too filtery. I was feeling like a huge loser, but I feel better now! Thanks me! Also, the boob thing. For about 6 years my left boob has been bigger than my right boob, before being pregnancy, during, breastfeeding (A LOT BIGGER) and NOW, my right boob is bigger. WTF is with that? I once heard that Marilyn Munroe wore a bra to bed every night to keep her girls perky and UP there. While it is too late for that, perhaps I can at least keep mine the same size. I know, VITAL boob developments.
as you were ———————>
My parents came over this morning with the intent to PUT NEW EAVE TROUGHS ON THE GARAGE! Retired folks, they get an idea in their head and nothing can dissuade them, not even an early bird special. It is kind of hard to complain and stomp your feet that they disrupted your day when the then put new eaves on your 1963 garage for nothing but the cost of materials and a scratch on your hand or seventeen. (memo to self: wear gloves) The garage is in working condition and need not be replaced for a while. But the eaves were corroded right through and watered the plants below them excessively. Almost all finished, but we done run out of daylight! So, tomorrow maybe?

It was a productive day for the house today. I removed all the dead stuff from my gigantor planter in the front of the house and replaced it with twigs and berries and such for a “rustic” look. Some things from the yard, some from the from the dollar store. I couldn’t leave it for snow to pile on all winter. How gauche.

Charlotte also enjoyed the leaves and having my parents around. Mark and I were told to GO AWAY many times, or the varied YOU GO. She is a wordsmith already.
