It's Funny 'Cuz It's Awkward

Caleb did an interview with LA Times. Eh. I was going to post some excerpts, but I just don't feel like it. The one in SPIN was better- Google it.

Use Somebody got 4 Grammy noms. I'll watch the show tomorrow night, until I go to bed, then I'll DVR the rest. Suuuuuuuuuper looking forward to seeing their ensembles and who J-Rad brings as a date.

I'm not crazy-wild about Caleb's hair. But it wouldn't be the first time.

Fa-Lash Dance!

confession: I will still bop around my bathroom and vogue into my mirror while fixing my hair to this song.

Stuff I Bought, Bloomingdales Edition

Went to Lenox today, as planned. I'm neverrrr going on a rainy weekend again. Parking is a mess and I just get frustrated.

I bought this skirt from Bloomies:

Which I think will transition well from winter to spring. Black tights, obvs until it gets warm, then a black cardigan and gold ballet flats with bare legs! I like it because its animal print without hitting you across the face with it.

I also bought a frilly floral dress by Free People but it's not on the website. Shame. Also purchased boring things like makeup and soap.

I didn't buy this dress, but I wanted to put it on here anyway. BCBG and it's so effing Parisian j'adorrrre it. I tried it on, but I couldn't make a snap decision on it. OH AND it's very sheer. I'm guessing H&M will have a version so I'm going to wait and maybe buy it later.

I'm fighting some type of constant allergy....my ears feel cottony and my head feels a little disconnected from the rest of my body. I've been self-medicating with Claritin and Mucinex-D, but when should I consult a doctor? Ugggh I need a mother here. Anyway, I would have stayed shopping longer, and spent A LOT more of my paycheck, but my head felt fuzzy and I couldn't think correctly.

Now I painted my nails, OPI Midnight in Moscow...is that what it's called? Well it's all goopy and not smooth. How do you keep nail polish from getting old like that? Especially in colors you don't use often. My mom used to keep her in the fridge. Does this work? I need Google.

AND I'm growing my hair out. For today that is my decision re: my hair.

My fridge broke last night. So that's awesome. I smelled something funny and assumed it was the trash, so I took it out. Then I went to get ice from the freezer, and my ice was melted! And my milk was spoiled. Effing gross, you guys. I guess I didn't notice because I didn't eat at home all day Wednesday. I talked to my maintenance who said he would order a new one to be delivered from Lowe's, but I never got confirmation on that.

My tummy hurts.

I need to go to Lenox Square and get more makeup at Laura Mercier and soap from L'Occitane. And I feel like buying new clothes.

Going to bed early and sleeping in.

January went by so quickly, did it not?

Wednesday afternoon I had lunch at FAB Atlanta....which is where Kim, NeNe and Sheree had their fight on the Real Housewives of Atlanta! I was so excited. But it was a "business lunch" so I couldn't go snooping around to see if anyone was there.

There Are Not...

Enough hours in the day. In order to feel like a normal human being during waking hours, I need 8 hours of sleep at night. Especially since I deal with a lot of stress and stress-out people during the day, this is crucial (for any of you thinking I'm being a p*ssy about sleep requirements). I wake up at 7am. I need to be falling asleep at 11pm. It takes me a long time to unwind from my day, so I usually need to start that process at 10pm. Sometimes I'm not leaving work until 6:30/7pm. Add in working out properly and making dinner, and that's my night, every night right there. And I NEED to work out. I can eat "properly," but I've known my body for 23 years now, and if I'm not working out also, it's pudgy-time. Also it keeps me sane...when I don't work out I get really keyed up and fussy. Exercise helps with sleep issues too, you know.

My point is...I feel like I have no time! For anything! I went to a meeting for a volunteer group this evening after work, and didn't get home until 9pm. I HAD to get in a 20 minute run on the treadmill....because tomorrow I have a business lunch at a French bistro, and I'll be damned if I don't enjoy some excellent French cuisine on someone else's tab. How do adults do it? My dad exercises before work....but I cannot even fathom doing that. Well maybe I could. If I got up 30 minutes earlier and spent that time on the treadmill, then did yoga after work. I'll consider it. But I've even not been sleeping well lately. I've been having dreams (nightmares?) about work and missing deadlines and forgetting to get deliverables to the client. I constantly dream in neon green and black (one of my client's signature colors....that's a hint!!)

Update for all concerned....Boy With The Beard from Flip Flops called me yesterday and asked me to dinner. We're going to Harry & Sons in the Highlands tomorrow night. Should be interesting. My girl friends are WAY more excited about it than I am, I think. I'm worried it's going to be awkward, and that I'm perhaps mis-remembering how cute he may have really been. And he lives Outside The Perimeter (Marietta) which is just far to me. In any case, the meal will be good. Harry & Sons is Thai and Sushi.

Now I need to eat dinner, figure out what I'm going to wear tomorrow night (give me suggestions!) and have sweet dreams.

Just a little something my mom showed to me and I'm sharing with you all.



Hope everyone is having a fabulous week!!
