best week ever!
Ok, that is an exaggeration, it wasn't THE best week ever, but I feel compelled to post on Fridays because that is when I tend to reflect upon my week. Also, the title refers to the best show on VH1 (tangent: I am liking a lot of VH1 shows these days, does that make me old? Or did VH1 decide to go for a younger target audience? Because their programs didn't appeal to me just a few short years ago.)
So my boyfriend and I are looking for a new dwelling. It really sucks because property values in the area where we currently live and want to remain are ridiculous. Even houses that are total shacks are well into the six figure range. The owners of the condo we've lived in for 3 years want to sell it to us. However, they are asking much more than we feel it is worth, so we're investigating our other options. Even though it is a pain to move, I wouldn't mind a change of scenery. Plus if we actually bought this place, I'd want to make some upgrades. It is one thing if you're renting and hate the carpet in the living room and bedrooms, but if it is your own house there's no excuse for not installing wood floors! My boyfriend also wants to remove the kitchen/dining area tiles and make it ALL wood. We'll see. It has been an interesting experience so far. I can't believe I'm in a position to make such a huge investment!
Tonight I am going to an appetizer/cocktail thing. Should be cool. I am big on grazing the gourmet goodies and washing it down with a nice glass of red wine or fancy flavored martini. Thank heavens I have a high metabolism and eat sensibly most of the time - it makes indulgences all the more enjoyable. October weather is absolutely gorgeous, too. Fall is my favorite season because the air feels wonderful. Significantly less humidity and that special 'bite' to it.
Right now I am wearing the most comfortable clothes in the world. James Perse cotton pants (no, I'm not a label whore, I just wanted to announce the brand so YOU can see for yourself how awesome these pants are!) and an old tee shirt that has been washed so many times it is disgustingly soft. I hope I can force myself out of it and change into the outfit I'm planning to wear later! Just the idea of doing so is upsetting me...this shindig better have some tasty sweets to make it worth my while! ;-) In the meantime, I am going to get some beauty rest! Ciao.

You know what ... I have James Perse lounge-y type pants that are hideously oomfortable ... and I totally forgot about them until you mentioned them. I don't know where they are, and sure hope I didn't inadvertently give them to the Salvation Army when I cleaned out my closets and drawers a month or so ago! I'd hate to think of some poor person wearing Perse. It'd just kill me. ;-)
P.S. Perhaps you have seen my pal Christian Finnegan on "Best Week Ever". I have never even seen the show, but I know he's on it.
P.P.S. I meant "comfortable" in my first comment. Not "oomfortable"! OOOMFORTABLE! Ha!
LoL, you kill me, Jodi! :-) And yes, Christian Finnegan is on the show all the time! That's cool you know him! All the commentators for "Best Week Ever" are very funny!
