In Regards to the New Year
I have been thinking about the upcoming New Year quite a bit lately, more so than I would like to admit. I have been looking back over the last years (years) and deciphering what it is about my life that needs changing. What issues need resolved. I know this is nothing new, and in fact almost everyone starts to spend a bit more energy pondering the rearview mirror this time of year.

Asking for Directions
The other day I took a walk during my lunch break. I was just wandering around taking in my new surroundings and not really paying attention to where I was going (shocking I know) and got myself good and turned around. I jogged a few blocks hoping to run accross a street i recognized to no avail. I was lost.
I scoped out the passersby looking for the least menacing character I could find. I spotted an older, nice looking gentleman with a dog (people with dogs always seem more trustworty). I asked him if he could point me in the direction I need to be. He didn’t look up or make eye contact of any kind, or even make any gesture as to what direction I should head. He just calmly started giving me highly detailed directions. It seemed off, but whatever he was going to get me where I needed to be. It wasn’t till about half way through his directions I realized he was blind….yup…I had to get directions from a blind man…

No commentsOPI Fall/Winter 2008 nail polish line is all about French Couture
By this point we all know I have a kind of fetish when it comes to OPI nail polish. What you might not know is that I am almost equally obsessed with checking out fashion shows. Unlike OPI, you aren’t going to find any Anna Sui in my closet but it isn’t for lack of want. So when I heard that the new OPI line was an homage to the French Couture lines I couldn’t get to the store fast enough. So fast in fact that I bought before I blogged.
No commentsThe Golden Girl, Estelle Getty Dies at 84
I have a secret love of the Golden Girls. I think I have seen just about every episode and I know all the words to the theme song by heart. I just wanted to pay tribute to one of the Ladies who made the show what it was.
So, thank you for being a friend.
New Earth Friendly Milk Jugs are Worth the Spills
Redesigning something as ubiquitous as the milk jug is a daring move. It is almost a given that the majority of people are going to find reasons for hating it. I remember not long ago the milk jugs stopped being clear. Yellow and clear jugs started appearing everywhere, and I hated it. I remember saying, “a yellow milk jug, it’s just weird”. But then I discovered the reasoning behind the change: it makes the milk last longer. So what are the benefits of the new “square” jugs?
Random Stuff You Never Needed to Know
The following is a compilation of random crap from random sources. Some true, some partially true, some totally made up, all totally useless (unless you count giving me something to do to avoid working on my budget).

No commentsOPI Summer Fun: Mod About Brights
It’s that time again! Summer is finally kicking Spring out of the way. With summer’s entrance comes a new line of fun finger hues from OPI. Just what I needed to shake the dust off another work week.
“This season, OPI goes mod-ern with Mod About Brights, the newest selection of shades in the Brights by OPI line.
Mod About Brights captures the fun and edginess of the mod “invasion” of the Sixties, but with a bright twist that makes these colors exciting and current for 2008. And with fashion right now being all about strong color and vivid, graphic prints, these are the shades that look up-to-the-minute on fingertips and toes.
If you love color, you’ll be Mod About Brights”
I am torn once again as to which is my favorite. I am really liking the orange and green, but I think the pink will be more functional. I have a little time to decide, the new line isn’t due in stores until June.
To see the entire line visit OPI.com
(my picks up to now, I will have to see them in person to make my final choice)
