"We're dating. He doesn't call. I call him a lot ...and when he finally answers it will be a magical day." -- Some chick on CMT's 20 Sexiest Men.
Oh heavens, I love that, it's my new quote. I will take credit for it, you can be sure of that. It refers to so many of my boyfriends who are in denial.
Ok, so- while playing with Alexa tonight I discovered some new loves: TiVo, Kirstie Alley, and mail order catalogs.
1) TiVo:
As I watched CSI:NY, CMT's 20 Sexiest Men, and Oprah WITHOUT COMMERCIALS I fell in love. (Plus first and last shows were recorded! How lovely is that?) I want, no, need this invention. Plus I got to PAUSE live TV when Lexi wanted something. Dang, Gina.
2) Kirstie Alley:
I used to think she was annoying. I had never seen any interviews with her, I think it was just because she played annoying characters. Ok, so I just watched her on Oprah and she is like my new best friend. She is hilarious. I loved how she kept saying to Nick, "So, you wanna make out now?" She is absolutely a hoot, love her! Plus, she's chunkier than me, and that's something everyone needs in a best friend.
3) Mail order catalogs:
Last week I was looking for Christmas gift ideas. I ended up googling "request a catalog", finding interesting companies, and doing just that. So... this week I've gotten a stack of catalogs. Wow. I love 'em. I sit for hours just staring at page after page!
Shopping on a website just isn't as fun. I wait forever for a page to load, find the cute things, put a mental Sharpie star next to them, and rarely return.
My new favorite catalog is Femail Creations I like their catalog a whole ton more than their website, and I strongly urge girls who like quirky things to request their catalog.
I mean, those who don't love THIS shoe-bowl & platter and This "Bubbles" towelrack needn't shop with me anywhere in the near future.
The Femail Creations stuff is a tad expensive for my budget, though, so don't be expecting any gifts from that company from me this Christmas.

I'm excited for the new Bridget Jones movie. Is that bad? What I mean, of course, is I'm excited for it to come out...hit dollar theaters...come out on video...then hit TV edited. Hahaha.
I think Bridget is a hilarious character. Full of quirks, faux pas, and full fledged screw ups. Absolutely no Nora Ephron-driven Meg Ryan perfection in her. And yet, that is what is most charming about her; you can feel her pain. Mark Darcy is a jerk most of the time, yet Daniel Cleaver is a slimeball. She wants a boyfriend to shut up her parents, her parents friends, and her married friends; and to not be a 30-something singleton.
Hilarious, really. Now if only the book were as edited for language as the movie on TV.
