Good Things

Silly Shopping trips with the hubby
Spending gift certificates
Obnoxious orange and black undies with a velvety dog on one butt cheek
Good unsweetened iced tea
Knitting tips from Mom
A generations-old antique cameo brooch to borrow for the swanky work party in the fall
Tiki Music
Geeky plans afoot
Too many books to keep up with

Clothes

The most recent post at http://www.dressaday.com/dressaday.html is a great (albeit long) entry on buying clothes. I'm definitely more casual than this blogger when I'm most comfy, but she's got some great ideas that I've also seen echoed in the Scaling Down book, and by the British What Not to Wear folks.

Related, the great suit-buying adventure for Brian will begin soon!

Brief Stints with Fame

When we were still students at St. Patrick's in Watertown, Together Dating Service contacted the school about filming a commercial there. They wanted to make something that looked like it took place in an old school building and well, we had an old school building. I'm sure the school was paid well for their services, and students were welcome to audition to be featured in the commercial. My sister is in this one, whispering to a girl sitting in the desk behind her.
