QVC - Philosophy

I found myself watching QVC lately.  It all started a couple weeks ago when my sister mentioned to me that their "Today's Special Value" was a Bare Minerals collection called Champagne Diamonds (I think).  Now I have been watching it on the weekends.  Today is a great day because it's all gifts.  Last weekend, I watched it and I bought a jar that you can collect change in and it counts it for you!  I got in in blue.  It is supposed to be delivered this Tuesday or Wednesday.  Then I was watching this morning because there wasn't much on, I didn't feel like watching Hannah Montana, I am a bit burned out of Miley Cyrus.  So this morning when I was watching, they said that they had an entire hour of Philosophy products coming up at 1:00pm.  Well, that didn't do me any good, I was meeting Lisa and Savannah for lunch at 1:30.  So then they mentioned that the Philosophy hour was on again at 9:00pm, which brings me to now, I have been waiting all day for the Philosophy hour!  Now Philosophy has nice stuff and I have used their facial care line before, but I am back to mixing it up with Origins and The Body Shop.  But they do have a nice fragrance line and they have yummy smelling shower gels.  So I might accidently buy something.

I think that I really need to find a boyfriend, or I am going to go even more into debt than I already am!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope that you have a great turkey day!  Enjoy the company of your family and friends and try not to eat too much :)

Some People's Kids

Ok, so it is November, which means that it gets dark a little after 5:00pm, and one thing that your mom should teach you when you are growing up is that when it is dark outside and you out running or walking, you should not wear all black clothes!  When I was driving home this evening, I almost hit 2 different people at 2 different times because they were wearing dark clothes.  The one lady was cutting through a parking lot while I was driving and she was jogging and the other guy was not paying attention to oncoming traffic.  Dumb-asses!

On another note, one of my favorite authors, Jen Lancaster (check out her blog at jennsylvania.com) has a new book coming out!  Woo hoo!  It's not until May, but still, that is only less than 5 months away.  Her last book, Such a Pretty Fat, is frickin' hilarious!  If you have not read it, I highly suggest doing so.  She also has two other books, Bitter is the New Black, and Bright Lights, Big Ass.  They are all memoirs.  The newest one is called Pretty in Plaid, which is about her time in college while she was in a sorority. Now, if you don't know this, I was in a sorority when I was in college and I was pretty involved with it.  I was the President and I also served on Panhellenic Council, which is the governing board of the sororities.  So I am pretty sure that I will thoroughly enjoy this book.

Oh and I did finish reading the Twilight series.  It was pretty good, but I feel that she left is open for another novel.  I also went to the midnight showing of the Twilight movie this past Thursday.  I felt kinda old and out of place.  There were a ton of teenagers there - um didn't they have school on Friday.  And there were a ton of people wearing shirts, many of them were Team Edward shirts.  There was even a person (not sure if it was a guy or a girl) wearing a werewolf costume.  Now this person should have known better, the werewolves don't show up until the second book.  I won't say who is one, in case you haven't read it yet.  But they play a big part in books two through four.

Ok, I suppose that I have babbled on long enough.  I am trying to get back into the writing thing because once I start I seem to have so much to say.  I promise to try to be better about it!!

I'm Back!

Ok, so I have been gone for a little while.  Sorry about that!  I have been busy with the new job and my Tastefully Simple business.  But I need to write some more.  I would think of things while I was out and about and then when I got home, I couldn't remember what I wanted to write about.

I am reading Breaking Dawn, which is the 4th book in the Twilight series.  I have about 250 more pages to go.  I really wish that I knew someone that has read it or is reading it because I really would like to discuss some things about it, which I won't say here in case you haven't read it yet and want to.  I am getting people addicted to the books though.  So far, my mom has read the first three and is patiently waiting for me to finish the last one.  Christine from work, has read the first and is on the second and I have two other co-workers waiting to read Twilight.

So I was a Target yesterday, and when I go there I pretty much always browse the book aisle, not that I need another book, but it's always a good time.  So I was walking down the the aisle and there was a lady around my age looking at the "grown-up" version of Twilight, basically it was a normal size paperback with a smaller font.  And I said to her that if she reads it, she won't be able to put it down.  She says, Oh I have already read it, I was just looking at how they fit the whole thing into this book.  She then said that she read the first two, but needed a break, but she is excited for the movie.  So I replied that I am in the middle of the fourth book and that I am excited for the movie, too.  In fact, I have the day off work, so I am going in the afternoon, so I can see it before all the high school kids.  She thought that was a great idea and she might do the same thing.  So I know that I am not 15, but I am really enjoying the whole Twilight series and I am really excited for the movie.  In fact, I may even see it more than once.  I am hoping that it will be that good.

Alright, I better get some reading done.
