in the past week, I have had multiple hits on my blog from the folks at MSLO (Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia) and Kate Spade. Guess that they track the people that use their brand names on their websites.
What is intersting to me, is that I have had numerous, and I mean numerous hits from the MSLO folks. I wonder, am I saying something inappropriate, or is the person assigned to surfing the web looking for hits on the MSLO brand a NQM reader?
Interesting to think about eh?

tired
not much to say.
grandma is in the hospital, she fell yesterday and did some damage to her back. sucky part (of the many) is that she has osteo. she will have a long recovery period. i wish her strength and determination.
work is busy- every day, it just gets bigger and bigger- in a good way, but it can be overwhelming.
met up with some friends tonight for a drink and a snack. we are all getting old and tired. home by 8:30pm
upside of today- it never even hit to 80 degrees.

hump day musings
im not sleeping again- not quite sure why. waking up every two hours.
martha stewart is a freaking genius. i love the apprentice- her version of, that is.
i had a total jessica simpson moment tonight. i opened a can of "chicken of the sea" albacore tuna. the stuff didnt taste like tuna. it tasted like chicken. i had to go look at the can to make sure it really was tuna.
my hair is getting greyer by the day- it scares me to no end. i really think if i let it go for a few months my hair would be mostly grey.
it was 100 degrees today. im tired of the heat.
im going to California in 2 weeks- rather excited about that.
sometimes i wish time would just slow down a bit. seems like my days are just going a little too fast for my liking.
thats all for now.

Ad's and AdSense
Anyone out there doing this sucessfully? This is my second attempt at the whole google ad dealeo.
I thought I would give it a shot- it just seems to get stuck on a topic and stays there.
I wonder if I give a list of topics, if it will search for ad's based on that:
Football
Purses
Recipes
Cooking
Sephora
MakeUp
Kate Spade China
Lets see how well this works.

| You Are Likely an Only Child |
 At your darkest moments, you feel frustrated. At work and school, you do best when you're organizing. When you love someone, you tend to worry about them. In friendship, you are emotional and sympathetic. Your ideal careers are: radio announcer, finance, teaching, ministry, and management. You will leave your mark on the world with organizational leadership, maybe as the author of self-help books. |
we are going to play pretend right now.
I am going to pretend that I live in the Midwest. Or the Northeast. Or Greenland. Anywhere that the high wont be 103 degrees today. Yes, I should be happy with the 7 degree drop, for the love that is good and holy, make the heat stop.
I wish it were fall. I wish I could buy a pumpkin and put it on my porch. I wish the air were crisp and cool. I wish the leaves were delicatly starting to change colors.
Instead, I have hurricane thick air, sweaty people, and dying plants.
God Bless Texas

for once there is silence
my house is completely quiet- a rarity when I am actually home. I generally have music playing somewhere, or maybe the tv on. About an hour ago, I just turned it all off and took a nice long bath.
Phones are turned off till tomorrow.
TV is done for the night.
Silence is my home.
Gnite, gnite.

and the countdown...
to Christmas begins. 3 months people, 3 months. From today.
I am so happy, I can barely contain myself. Its the hottest GD day of the year in Texas-110 freaking degrees, and all I can think about is Christmas.
Me, being the greedy bitch that I am, have started my list. Yes, boys and girls, I am making my list, and checking it twice.
Here are a few of the notable, and totally shoppable items on my list.
* The entire West Wing Series on DVD
* A subscription to Real Simple
* China- Kate Spade Donner Road to be specific. A plate will do me just fine thank you very much.
* Houseplants
* A cast iron frying pan. Not quite sure why I need this, but I do.
* Books- basically a gift card to Amazon would be fabu.
* Frequent Flyer Miles
* Luggage
Yes, I know these are all relatively big ticket items, but this is my damn wish list. Most of these things I can totally purchase for myself, but its fun to put it out there in the cosmos my hopes and dreams.
oh yes, and a Red Ryder Carbine Action BB Gun.

Sometimes we just need to
sit and talk with some friends. Today was my boycotting day. Boycotting work, housework, friends and family. Fortunately, I failed miserably at the boycott. I just got home from spending the evening with two of my best friends- we talked about life, love and the pursuit of a perfect football game. Seriously cant ask for much more than that. Well, yes, a magically clean house, but in the mean time, I will take tonight.
my random musing. When I was a little girl, I always wanted magical powers. Not for evil, but just to be able to speed through household craptastic chores. Today, with the laundry piling up, and the floors needing to be mopped, I still wish I could wiggle my nose, or blink my eyes and all would be taken care of. With this wish, I realize that this is just another reason why I could never be a superhero- they all want to save metropolis, meanwhile, I just want my laundry folded, and my menu complete for the week.
gnite dear internet, gnite.

the only Rita we will be having is
with a little salt and lime. Yep, the latest hurricane seems to have totally passed us by. Cant say that I mind much. Although, everyone I know has called to see if I am impacted. Look at a map people. Austin, to the west of the big green blob. No matter to me, I am safe, my friends area all safe, and all my Houston/South East Texas friends are here safe and dry.
