| Thoughts on Life Events Right Now:
Stretch Jeans:
We love them, right ladies? But I have a conundrum. I recently bought 2 new pairs of jeans. The size I bought fit me perfectly in the store, the size below the one I bought felt squeezed and looked horrid with folds of flesh spilling out. My problem is that after wearing said jeans 2 times they have stretched out and are HANGING off of me! What gives!? Are we supposed to buy the jeans that we squeezed into in the dressing room in hopes of them stretching perfectly? Or do we buy the jeans that fit perfectly and wash/dry them constantly so they still fit us and aren't stretched out. :(
OnStar Commercials:
You've all heard the radio commercials where they play the live broadcast of an OnStar call where there's been an accident, etc. Well, one of those commercials actually made me want to get OnStar me and gave me the shivers while driving. Basically, instead of hearing the frightened child on the other end of the line or the frantic woman who locked her baby in the car, the OnStar operator picked up and heard..... nothing. The operator asks some questions, "Are you there, are you ok?" still nothing. Then the operator says, "If you're hurt, make a noise if you can." and you hear a barely audible groan that sounds agonizing... I mean, holy shit. That is serious stuff. So the operator says "Stay with me, the ambulance is on its way, I'm not going anywhere" Cut to the sound of sirens and then the guy from EMS telling the operator that he was there.
So, that was the first time I've actually considered having an emergency system in my car because for the first time EVER I thought about being in an accident where I was hurt so badly that I couldn't even SPEAK. So I don't know if that was actually good or bad... thoughts?
Drinking:
One thing I've noticed in the past year or so that when I drink, the best part of the feeling of being intoxicated is the feeling I get around halfway through the first drink when the alcohol first hits my system and I start feeling tipsy. When I'm out, I feel like I spend the rest of the night chasing that feeling. So, maybe I should just have one drink, enjoy it and then stop! Think of how much money I'd save! Not to mention the lack of hangovers. :) I'll let you all know how this works out for me.
Cats:
Since my cats are my children for now, I give them all the love I can and it's amazing to me how happy they make me. I bought them a bunch of catnip tonight and seeing my cats get high is pretty hilarious. So, thinking of it this way... if I love my cats this much, how much will I love my children!!??? hopefully more than the cats... :)
Voices On Commercials:
Now that more and more celebrities are doing voicework for commercials, one of my favorite brain teasers is to try to figure out who is doing the voicework. Recently my tow big discoveries were Parker Posey in a Marshall's commercials and Lisa from 6 feet under for the Tylenol PM commercial! Randomness. It drives me nuts if I can't figure out the voice though. For example, last year I EMAILED Pampers to find out who was doing their commercials because after weeks of watching TLC and seeing all the baby commercials it was driving me bonkers. It's Julianna Margulies, in case anyone was wondering. :)
I think thats all for now. I'd love some feedback!

| Over the weekend I was talking with some friends about the reasons we love Chicago. One of the BIG reasons we came up with is that the people here are actually NICE. People will go out of their way to help you. I had a very refreshing experience today that further accentuates our point. Today I went to Potebelly for lunch and ordered my usual sandwich. When I reached into my purse to pay, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Embarrassed, I told the cashier that I couldn't find my wallet and was about to tell her I'd run back to my office and get it when a tall young man appeared next to me and said "I'll get her's too". It took me a moment to realize that he was talking about me and not someone else. He paid and went back to the line before I even realized. The cashier asked if I knew him, I said no, and she said, "well, he bought you a cookie too!". So I thanked him from across the restaurant and he gave a shy smile then looked away. So, yay for nice people in Chicago! I actually found my wallet in a random purse pocket after I got back to my office so now I feel extra dumb but my faith in the human race has been renewed. | | |
