And a few other purchases

Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to mention that I got these two lovely pieces of art by John Derian at Target as well. I am tucking them away in hopes of hanging them in our front entry way once Nick and I purchase a house (hopefully this winter). I can't wait!

Tune In Tuesday...

Well,

After my online master's classes last night, I decided to treat myself to a little Target run today after attending a GATE conference. Here's what I picked up:


The "Sex and the City" extended version DVD. Of course, the regular feature would not suit me. I was one of the masses that braved things to attend a screening opening night with my sister after having cosmos. I am so excited for the extended scenes!


And the new "Kings of Leon" CD: Only By the Night. If you haven't heard of this band, you must check them out. No one sounds like them. They play gritty Southern rock in a way that has never been heard before. I adore them, and I already heard two of the new tracks on SNL. Must buy!

I also picked up Josh Kelley's new CD, but I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. There are too many slow to mid tempo songs on it; and quite frankly, it's pretty dull. Is Katherine sucking up your songwriting powers Josh?

Sickie-poo

How can it only be the third week of school, and I am already sick? Granted, I haven't been very good about my vitamin intake. My mom always put an assortment out for me to take when I lived at home, and I always seemed to fair quite well. Being in front of over a hundred students every day does have its disadvantages I guess...even though I use hand sanitizer up the wazoo.

And I really do think that products like airborne, emergen-c, etc do not work. Trust me; I've tried it all. The only thing that really seems to work is sleep and chicken soup.

Randomness

School has definitely bit me in the butt! I'm only in my second week back at work teaching, and already I am not blogging. Here are a few random thoughts/comments floating through my mind:

1) "The Hills"- hasn't been that great. In fact, I haven't even caught last week's episode, so it's obviously losing it's steam. Maybe this will be the last season?

2) How great did Britney look at the VMA's last night? It brought back memories of when I secretly envied Britney's incredible body.





3) I need to stop going to Target. I scored the shoes in the last post among other things on this weekend's binge.

4) "True Blood" is actually quite decent despite the negative reviews. I heart the premise and the quirky humor. Maybe I am enjoying this more than others because I haven't read "Twilight" yet.

5) How awesome is Bev Mo's 5 cent sale? Martha Stewart's Rose is actually quite crisp and sweet...perfect with the pizza I had last night.

Hope you don't get swamped in work like me this week. Taking on ASB in addition to trying to finish my master's classes may turn out to be too much. Time will tell.

Tar-get

Hubby woke me up super early this morning which left me super grumpy since I only have one more weekend after this one before I start teaching again. It did grant me time to look through clothing at my favorite store, Target. Here are a few of my favorite finds:

Gray is a big color for fall, and I love how the Vanessa Peep-toe Flats have this staple color with a pop of color. I adore the combination of gray and yellow and know I will shortly be adding them to my shoe collection.

I also just got this Rosette Tunic, and I love the applique at the top. It's hard findings plain color tops with great detail, and I love the rosettes all over the collar of this one. This will be great for work with a pair of black slacks for me.

Happy Shopping!

Audrina's a..

biotch! OK, here is my delayed review of the first new episode of season four of "The Hills." All in all, it was a pretty blah episode as far as season starters go. No major drama, no big confrontations...except at the end. I have to admit, last season I was so stoked to see Lo move in with LC because I just adored her on "Laguna Beach."


However, slowly but surely, she emerged as a self-absorbed rude girl. She seemed to be stealing all of LC's attention, and making fun of Audrina's interests and friends as much as possible. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt: she isn't a season regular, so it must have been hard for her to start on the show so late.

I knew things were coming to a boil between Audrina and Lo, and last Monday's episode culminated in the boiling point. Lo finally went to confront Audrina about how she wanted to be friends and that she was at least trying, but then:


Audrina's super catty response, "We'll never be friends!"

Whoa, who the heck does Audrina think she is? Has she built herself up that much in her mind? Granted, was Lo being sincere...definitely not. But still, Audrina was just so mean about it. It'll be interesting to see things come to a boiling point between her and LC later in the season.

Can you contain...

the excitement??? The Hills starts up again tonight! I can't wait to sneer at Heidi and Spencer again!!!
