Can’t Wait!

Kelsey and Mel are having their engagement photo session today. I’m quite excited! Their photographer has a blog and she is also on flickr (Hmmm. Is one “on” flickr?), so you can see a lot of her work there. I think she’s really great!

(And with photoshop I’m sure she can even make me look decent. At least from the back. ;-)

Vision

When one wears glasses one doesn’t necessarily see how filthy her shower is.

This is sometimes frequently always a problem.

Argh!

(yes, I posted this at oboeinsight as well)

I can’t go to any blogspot sites because google has decided to block me. They suggest I have a virus or spyware. I do not. I’m very, very bummed. I don’t like doing bad things. I dislike, even more, being told I’m doing bad things when I am not.

Has anyone else had this problem? Do tell!

Dear Top Chef People

Couldn’t you put the show on a bit earlier? It always makes me very hungry, and I shouldn’t eat that late at night.

I’m sure you understand.

Thank you.

CSI Drugs

I’m sure the drugs they found were merely from the show. Really. Because I like the guy. And if I like someone … well …

Oh never mind.

I like the guy he’s playing on the show. Guess that doesn’t mean anything about the actor, eh?

But what a stash.

Well … It Made ME Laugh

Maybe this isn’t funny to anyone else. I landed here because of the word “opera” … it’s an “opera gown” for a toddler.

Um. Say what?

Maybe it’s a costume? But the beginning of the description was just too funny:

  • A gown that will embrace the natural form of any princess, while keeping in-step with the expectations of high society.
  • Square neck adds a level of demure maturity.
  • Because we know that toddlers are frequently found in high society and are most definitely demurely mature.

    Oh. And it’s only $94.95.

    Okay. I’m done now.

    I’ll Bet She Couldn’t Get Me To Look Good!

    Dan directed my attention to a video of Annie Liebowitz taking pictures of the Queen of England. Fun to watch.

    But I’m convinced Liebowitz couldn’t get a decent picture of yours truly. No one can. Pictures and I don’t get along. Go figure.

    Of course I have to be in pictures for The Wedding. Yikes!

    Wedding China

    I know folks up here don’t live near Bloomingdale’s, but perhaps orders can even be placed online. I’ll ask the woman who sent me this:

    Hello Mrs. Mitchell,

    Kelsey and Mel’s wedding is just around the corner and I wanted to see if I may be of any assistance to you or any of their wedding guests with gift purchases. They have not yest received any of the beautiful china they selected when you were all here at the brunch event.

    I know you are in the Bay Area, but I can easily help facilitate gift purchase over the phone. Right now is the peak time for you and your guest to purchase wedding gifts, as I am able to extend my Friends and Family Discount (20%) to you. Friends and Family runs from May 1-4 and you will receive 20% off on all registry purchases and on purchases throughout the home store (10% in electrics). In addition, it permits you amazing savings throughout the rest of the store.

    This is truly the best time for you to come in and purchase your registry items at an amazing price. An invitation with the savings pass is required for this event so please contact me at 714-824-4601 to reserve a pass for you or any guests you would like!

    Warm regards,

    Amie Watanabe | Registry Manager | The Registry

    (P) 714-824-4603 | (F) 714-824-4572

    If it’s true that we can get 20% off on Waterford, it’s less expensive there than anywhere else as far as I can see. Just so you know. If anyone is interested in this let me know and I’ll make sure I follow up on it!

    Update
    The woman will be getting back to me with info. She can’t give out passes, as they are hard copies only, but you can call and get the deal.

    I addition, I found the china here for a good discount ($99.87, free shipping if order is over $100).

    Just FYI because I like deals. I’m certainly not insisting you all buy her china! (But you COULD buy me some oboe reeds. ;-)

    Does This Make Me Sound Like A Dog?


    The Loyal Friend
    Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who’s extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expects the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

    Hmmm. I wonder. It’s “Dr. Phil’s test” … and he’s not exactly my fave. But still … it was short. I like short.
