It's All About Me

About Me

It's the quiet ones you have to watch out for.

I heard about Splendora from...

Dogpile five years ago when I was trying to track down a pair of shoes. I've been hooked ever since.

Joshua Radin, Radiohead, Carla Bruni

I'm Watching

Gossip Girl, 90210 (1.0 and 2.0), Dirty Sexy Money, Project Runway, Brothers & Sisters

I'm Renting These DVDs

I can't even remember, which makes me think I should downgrade my Netflix subscription.

I'm Reading

The Last Lecture

What's in Your Handbag

Papers galore, a binky, and a ringing cell phone I can't find

What's in Your Closet?

Lots of short sleeved and sleeveless sweaters and dresses. In Arizona, ya gotta improvise with the fall attire.

Favorite Cities

Boston, Santa Monica, Dublin, Paris, Costa Rica (not a city, but it is a fave)

Yeah, I'll admit it: Neil Diamond. Forever in Blue Jeans, babe.

Swingtown

I set my tivo when you first blogged about this show and I am totally hooked. Tom and Trina make the swinging life seem so glamorous and fun, I can't wait for Susan and Roger to hook up, and I literally have to look away from my tv every time Susan's freaky alien daughter is on the screen. I am planning on catching up on my tivo tonight!

re: The Last Lecture

I've actually just picked up reading again as a hobby a couple of months ago and I'm actually surprised that I've read 10 books since then! I got so into it that every little chance I had I would read...and there were some late nights too. This is my next book and I can't wait to buy it this week!

Re: Milly Love

Oh yes...she is quickly becoming one of my favorite designers for the summer. Her dresses are so feminine without trying too hard and her choice of bold graphics and colors always draw me in. If only money really did grow on trees...

Thanks Melissa

Your comment on my wedding video made me crack up! I wish he had done something cheesey like that so at least I'd have something to laugh about in the video. Yeah, it's a total bummer but at least we have great photos and I'm sure we'll be looking at those more anyway.

Thank you for your comments on ....

.... comfy heels and politics diary entries. I love the motto on the bottom of the Hollywould shoes. And I hear you on the politcal front, it will be a long year. I did however take the positive approach and emailed one friend some of what I said in my diary and got agreement back. I am glad I nipped it in the bud; friendship saved.

P.S. Love the new photos.

I'm here!

Thanks for checking in on me Melissa B! I haven't been around these parts as much as I've wanted to be. My day job is helping produce a performing arts festival and while everyone slows down for Christmas, we gear up for a major production. Eek. I do manage to sneak in some Splendora Diary reading to keep me up-to-date on my favorite blogstresses though :) Speaking of, how are you hot mama?
