For a Little Luck

Yesterday I bought this necklace by Satya Jewelry on Ideeli.com. I was this close to getting a pair of earrings, too, but I'm way too good at giving myself guilt and grief over frivolous spending, so let's just call this necklace a compromise, yes? Yes.

If you'd like an invitation to Ideeli's shopping site, check out the links under my bio on the top left of my blog's page. Happy hunting.

The Arrival of the MOO

Yay! My mini biz cards from MOO arrived! Now I'm off to go network ...

Crank this one up while you whirl around in your living room, martini in hand.

Hun-Cal? HUN-CAL??

OMG it's totes the best hun-cal fro-yo.

MOO

This past weekend I ordered business cards from MOO, and I can't wait to get them!

Now that I have a steady freelance writing job (and the hope to acquire several more) that requires me to call on PR reps and other individuals, I often feel as though I should be saying, "Oh, and let me give you one of my cards," at the end of each meeting, but instead I have to go grab a napkin or a Post-It note and scratch something out for them. I figured I'd better just buckle down and start treating this like the real deal and spring for some cards.

I opted for the MiniCards in this package. They'll have my info on one side and a pretty design on the other. I think they perfectly match what I wanted -- professional-looking and fun ... but not too fun. If that makes sense.

Final verdict to be decided after I receive them!

How Does This Rachel Leigh Cook Look-Alike Feel About Her What?

Um, this just makes me laugh.

Pretty Wild

This show represents all that is wrong with America.

I've watched 10 minutes of it, and it's a trainwreck. Here's a taste of the insanity:



And it gets worse.

Mr. Neiers used to be the director of photography for the show Friends, and Mrs. Neiers used to be an international model. And did I mention that one of the girls, Alexis, may or may not have been involved with the Bling Ring?

This is such a perfect case study in how badly parents can totally screw up their kids. You must watch. At least once. In order to laugh. And then to say, "Man. I sure am glad I'm not as messed up as those people." Unless you are. In which case maybe you can explain to me in what world it's OK for a little girl to have a pole-dancing party for her 16th birthday.
