classy broads



i apologize for my great absence...i have been battling ANOTHER bout of sickness...seriously i've had enough illness for the year of 2009...

i wouldn't really describe myself as a fashion guru. i enjoy looking at pretty clothes, but my budget doesn't allow me to do much more than target. but i do have two women whose styles i have always looked up to: ms. jennifer aniston and ms. jackie o. to be fair, if i tell you you remind me of either of them, you should take it as a huge, huge compliment.

as i was reading one of my favorite new blogs, jezebel, i stumbled across the above picture of jennifer aniston. and i loved it. because i find it to be a very jackie o dress on ms. aniston. i love it. and i want it :)

excuse me, pop, i think i've got the black lung

so, i've been under the weather the past couple days. it started about monday at 3 pm when i started getting the "fever chills" (and started cursing under my breath). so i canceled my swim date w/ logie, came home, and jumped in bed. by the time he finally got home, i had been passed out for 3 hours and only got to say mumbled words to him (which probably didn't make sense).

then tuesday, i foolishly decided to go to work, because who wants to take vacation time for sickness? so i make it to work. then came home and went to sleep. and didn't get to see logan at all again.

then tonight, when i'm finally feeling a bit better, i think to myself, if i can stay up maybe i get to see him tonight! but nonetheless he has late meetings...meaning i probably won't make it that late...

and its making me realize just how hard 3 months are going to be when he goes away for JAG. ugh.

ma-ma-ma-ma my ramona


the first chapter book i ever read was "ramona the pest" by beverly cleary.
i remember very clearly sitting in the gold recliner in our living room (which was like an oversized chair to me at the time) and devouring every word of this book.
what can i say, i loved her.
and from then on, i read every ramona quimby book. she was my hero.
so when i heard a movie of the book was coming out, i got excited!
....
until i read the full article. and now i am upset.
i can only say..."oy vey." (i've always had a weird feeling ramona should be jewish..)

p.s. i won my first OVWI trial today and am going out to celebrate w/ my boy :)
