Navy is the new Pink

I noticed that almost everyone of my facebook profile pictures I'm wearing either a navy dress or a navy polo.

So yes, navy is the new pink.

Random Thoughts...

While having drinks at Fave A's house last night it came to me I started dating my now husband when I was 22. Gesh, why was I exclusive so young. 

You all know the term "Dress for the job you want not the job you have", i'll take that thought and apply it to this, "Dress for the activity level you want, not the activity you are". So with that I am in gym clothes blogging/twittering. 

Off for a run, and yes my foot is still sore, so if my next update is from the ER, you can all say "i told you so". 

Everyone wave Hi to my new blogging LA buddy Paisley Peunia, she is so super cute! Speaking of blogging BFF, my super super fave Suz, sent be the best email this morning, she wanted to let me know my boyfriend Joe Scarborough was on The Today Show, love it!

I was coming back from getting coffee this morning and a realtor was showing these young gals the one rental on our street and said this place is great if you're drunk and forget your keys as the door is always open, if it's ever locked just buzz the people above and tell them you just got back from the bar and have beer. SO what do I do, look at him give him this look and say "wow", and walked in our house. Yep, I am now old and don't want riff raff on our street. You can slap me now, i deserve it. 

My wonderful friend Kate is running the Kentucky Derby Marathon today, good luck Kateson, you'll be great!!!

Off to enjoy the 80 degree day we have here in Boston!!!

Chalk this post up to "ALL THINGS KIMBA, ATK". 

Vita Muffins

I have been so busy this morning that I couldn't take time to run to and put my muffin in the microwave so I instead thawed it out on my PC fan under a lamp. Not my finest moment!

We have our final wedding of the year this weekend and I can't wait! It is being held in Boston which is even nicer for us city folks! I know the Bridesmaids are wearing black dresses but it is an evening wedding and i've told myself it is acceptable to also wear a black dress as what else does one wear to an evening wedding in the winter!

We're getting our tree tonight! And it happens to be 60' in Boston, though it is raining right now and it is back to freezing tomorrow, i am loving this weather!

That's right, we don't have our tree and I have zero shopping done. And with said wedding this weekend, I don't see a whole lot of my shopping getting completed. It might be a cyber type of year, it will be a light year I can tell you that!

Happy Sunday!

A view out the window from our little NY ski vaca!

I do love Sunday's, I mean, come 7pm and the tick tick tick of 60 Minutes makes me unlike Sunday's. Side note: the ticking reminds me of having to go to my room and finish my homework. But Sunday's mean football and football means being cozy in your house rooting on your favorite team and hopefully some good cooking in the oven. So that brings me to what to make? If I had leftover turkey I would make a big pot of soup!

We had a wonderful trip, Music Guy has family that have a house in Ellicottville so for those asking that is why we were there! What a fun ski town, I wish we lived closer as I could spend all winter there! A guy I work with said it is the "Cape Cod" for Buffalo residents.

So MG just said Ebay (paypal) is offering 10% off, damn! And Pottery Barn is offering 20% just for today, I really think with our gift cards and the discount today is the day we get our wine bar. Wish the other party in our house agreed! (no pun!)

As you can tell this post is a bunch of random thoughts, sometimes needed for a Sunday afternoon!

I do want to thank you all for making my trip to and from NY joyful as i read blogs on my phone a good part of the way. The drive there I drove most of the way and the way home I didn't drive at all. The last hour was bummer to bummer on the Mass Pike, and an accident didn't help matters when we got to the Weston Tolls.

Looking forward to a good Pats vs. Steelers game today! GO Pats!!!! And Green Bay, please don't lose!

Thank goodness for two shoes

Today is the first day I've worn two shoes in two weeks. And they are new ones also! I got some cute black flats with a gold buckle on the top.

No more boot, my ankle is still pretty sore but I was feeling like the cast was making it worse as my foot could still move around and it was pretty awkward. So I'm happy to say I can travel this weekend sans boot.

Lots of hugs and prayers for my father who ended up in the hospital this weekend and is having gallbladder surgery today. I talked to him Saturday and Sunday and he sounded good. We're headed to his house this weekend so it's bittersweet timing. Always scary to get a phone call your parent is in the hospital. But he's a touch cookie! No word yet, I've been carrying my cell phone everywhere with me today.

Moving on to happier subjects!

Speaking of cell phones. I think I'm breaking up with Verizon, I've had them forever and actually love their service and I get a 20% discount through work. But the thing is they don't offer the iPhone so that leaves me to turn to At&T. Music Guy and I were talking that it could be my Christmas present! I'm all for that. I am always playing with his and would love my own. And my contract is up with Verizon so it's perfect timing. If I get an iPhone between the two of us that would be three iPods, two iPhones, a MacBook, an AirPort Express and countless other Apple accessories. What I know he really wants is Apple TV, but there is no reason to get that until we have a newer TV.

What is your favorite Apple product?

Random question and thoughts...

What are the odds that JCrew will do a 20% off sale items soon?

We had a very nice Halloween, though walking on cobblestone and brick is not ideal for me at the moment.

We're going to Aria this weekend to have three of my lovely bridesmaids check out the dresses I think I've decided on! I say think because I had one bridesmaid back out and it kind of has throw me for a loop on things. I had my head set on the dress/idea (mainly because they would get a discount) and now that i'm down one they will not recieve the discount. But I like the dress and will wait to see what the girls say on Saturday when they see them.

Either Saturday night or Sunday morning we're going to head to the Cape to get out of the city which seems like it's been forever.

Major reorganization in my company, but my line of business is fine. And those of you who know where I work don't worry your assets are fine! But it really sets the mood for the people around me.

Major reorg needs to happen with my closet and STAT.

That's all i have for now!

I'm going to be in and out of meetings for the next couple of days, I'm hoping to be able to post when I get home.

The weather here has warmed up and I am very happy about that. I finally do not look like a crazy woman standing waiting for the bus in my flip flops in a suit. Ok yeah I still do!

**While typing this I added a green sticky note to a document I was working on and attached it with a pink paperclip. Does that scream geek in the pink or way to much time on my hands, definitely not the latter! :)**

I have a hydrangea plan on my desk that I would love to keep here but am scared it will die over the long weekend. Taking it home would be pointless because no one will be there, any thoughts? Over water it on Friday and pray?

Well I am off to hit the gym, I might not be making much time for blogging but that does not mean I'm not making gym for the treadmill. Though I wish I was! :)

Lent

So this is what I gave up for Lent...

Pizza and diet coke... the first one will be pretty easy, late night is the only time I EVER eat it. But still it will be hard when it gets to that point.


The diet coke is/was the hard one. And yes this morning without even thinking about it I ordered a diet coke took a sip and said ohh crap...So here's my question, do I A) Say screw it and wait until next year or B) hop back on the Catholic wagon?

One more thing...where the pictures of Britney not freakishly scary? Grrrrr
