Good mawnin’, home skillets. How was your night? 🙂 I can’t even begin to describe how happy I am right now because I actually have nothing I have to do today. That’s because my to-do list is blank, yay! It rarely works out this way, but somehow I managed to finish all of my weekend chores early, as in last week, which means there will be no cleaning of toilets, folding of clothes or brushing of tabby cats (a chore indeed) today, huzzah!
And THAT means I can just chill here with y’all, which makes everything, even the taste of this hot tea, so much better.
Oh, here’s something completely random that I know some of the other journalists and writers out there might appreciate. The AP finally caved!
Now, because I like to share the Web sites websites I surf early on Saturday mornings…

April 17th, 2010 at 9:22 amRight now I’m having a nice slow start to my Saturday morning – reading the news, catching up with the blogs I follow . . . Hopefully this afternoon I’ll be able to go and get a new MBP (I’ve been talking about it for months). Thursday when I called the Apple Store they had some, but couldn’t hold them for more than 24 hours (and I couldn’t make it in within that time frame). So I called yesterday, and they didn’t have any of the ones I want! *le sigh* So now I’m waiting until the time their shipment should arrive and calling and having them hold one for me. I think I’ll be calling every couple of hours until then. BUT, then I get my new toy! WOO HOOO!! It’ll be my first personal Mac (use an iMac at school). I’ve wanted one since the Titaniums came out around the turn of the millennium, I think.
On a separate note, check out this video. I saw the full-length 10-minute version at the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour earlier this week and it was absolutely jaw-droppingly stunning. Please trust me, and click to watch the video!

April 17th, 2010 at 10:59 amOOoooo, the Apple store has it now – I’m heading over to pick it up! Yay!
Also, the YouTube link I posted is a trailer of a video called “Mont Blanc Speed Flying.” Basically, there were a bunch of people on skis with parachutes, who “speed fly” down Mont Blanc. The film was shot from a helicopter in one take and set to some GORGEOUS classical piano music. Each time I watch the clip, I get the chills. When I saw the whole thing my jaw was so far open by the end I think I drooled a bit.

I LOVE that the AP changed it to ‘website’. That’s how I always spell it anyway!
Have a great day!

April 17th, 2010 at 12:10 pmthose pictures are awesome! I actually did know about the secret menus lol, I get my cheeseburgers animal style protein style from In-N-Out, and I like Jamba Juice’s Pink Star (tastes like a pink starburst). Right now I’m about to go eat lunch 🙂 Hope you’re having a good day Karen!

April 17th, 2010 at 12:24 pmThe Battle of the Most Awesome Thing Ever is hard to stop playing!
Got my hair cut today, shorter than ever before. Now my husband is cooking breakfast (yes, at 2:30 PM) and then we are tackling a project we’ve put off for weeks. It’s going to be a good day, but we are both missing our little kitty.

April 17th, 2010 at 1:05 pmSurprisingly we both woke up early but I took it slow because I woke up with a headache. I had coffee and some PB on bread, and surfed.
At around 12ish, I felt hungry and recovered enough from my headache we drove out for some Chinese food, I checked TJMaxx and Ulta out (they were in the same place as the Chinese food place) but didnt buy anything. We stopped for coffee and grabbed the Hubs’ laptop from his office.
Now were doing nothing. Awesome, and im glad youre doing nothing too!!! Fekkai is frustrating me – I like their Ironless Straightening Balm but its been out of stock at Sephora forevveeerrrrrr… I got a travel sized Phyto something (forget the name) in the hopes that it can replace the Fekkai.
I also got a tube of the Goop Sunscreen … im liking it so far!!! Can never have enough SPF especially in Texas!!!

April 17th, 2010 at 1:32 pmBasking in the heavenly scent filling my apartment. I picked up a bunch of lilacs at the farmers market this morning. Love them.
And trying to decide the rules for my post-surgery present. My hair dryer is in its final death throes and I’ve wanted a T3 forever. I decided that would be my reward but it made sense to buy now, not in 3 weeks, because of the Sephora sale. Do I open and use now or wait?
DonnaN says
April 17th, 2010 at 3:26 pmI just got home from an afternoon of errands……dry cleaner, then the mall, where I tried to buy the turquoise Chanel polish at Macy’s (sold OUT), and went to MAC where I picked up Lychee Luxe (thanks Karen—WOOT!!) and another 15 pro palette. I also was the FIRST to play with the Pret a Papier testers……I did my own eyes with Coral Crepe/Tissueweight/Gazette Grey and Instant Chic cheeks. These are the FOUR items I am getting from the collection!! I still need to try Ulta know for the new Essie polishes…..YIKES!!
I’m also debating about coloring my hair NOW or waiting until I lose more weight…..I think the impact might be worth the weight (pun INTENDED!!)

April 17th, 2010 at 7:36 pmAt the moment, I’m watching an old (as in 1991) movie with the hubby. Before that, I took my daughter to a 50’s diner. She loves to twist on the stools! lol
meimei says
April 18th, 2010 at 6:30 amWuh-wait, Jamba Juice has a SECRET MENU? Now I’m going to want a PB&J smoothie to wash down that Animal Style burger from In-N-Out, which I love to bits. (And *then* I will talk to my doctor about Lipitor. Heeeeeeee.)
Topic: It’s Sunday night here in the P.I., and I just got back from a looooonnnggg weekend taking my licensure exams for elementary-school teaching at another city. I think I did fine, considering that I could use more work on my trigonometry than on my Filipino-language skills… so, yep, I’m definitely going to need some of that peach-toned concealer soon! 😉
