Red wine & peach ‘n’ berry pie are on the menu tonight!
I contributed my special recipe BBQ chicken, a cheese plate, and a pomegranate spinach salad. We barbeque all year round because my dad can’t ‘let go’ and it’s actually a pretty fab family tradition. Except of course when your neighbors across the street see flames in your yard in mid-January and call the fire department. Winter of 2004 folks. Oops!
Bill Moyers is retiring!!!! How will I stay informed?
Mom & I went to buy vodka & they were offering Jameson shots inside…whisky is yum, but perhaps not on an empty stomach! Going home to eat Stove Top, Ben & Jerry’s ‘Half Baked’ & a vodka tonic. Maybe I’ll have some kale chips too.
See? I balance. Kind of.
Last night I had a dream that I was shot in the back but refused to go to the hospital until I had health insurance. No ambulance would come get me, I was on a train towards the hospital on my iPhone trying frantically to get some type of catastrophic insurance before getting to the ER. At the end I had started to bleed out & slowly faded and then woke-up.
I’m not insured (at all), wonder if I’m worried about it at all?!
In the next few weeks I’ll be doing a 1960s test shoot for M.A.C Cosmetics! I could only hope to look like the stunning Sharon Tate (above) but with a make-up primer called “Spackle” in their collection I figure M.A.C. might be able to work that out?
After seeing me pilfer a little more from my red wine stash my seatmate said “You’re so smart!” The least I could do was offer her some vino…so what if my new bff is the result of alcohol consumption on the Amtrak train? It’s a Friday and we’re riding the train for goodness sake!
Without getting too into my work life I will say that this week was super rough. My office is very small and with people out sick I was the only one in the office who could prepare handbag shipments this week. That means our merchandise had to be sent out to some major clients & the chick that’s been around for six weeks was called upon to deliver…Hello stress? My name is Lily, I believe we’ve met before, perhaps during the midterms of ‘07? I must say that being able to take on such craziness & actually conquer was fly, but the knot in my stomach “oh my god?!” moments I could have dealt wirhout.
But guess what? I made it, and I feel pretty damn good that my boss was able to call on me and get things done. I may be the purse rookie, but I’m trying!
Why is online shopping so much more fun on my phone? Kind of adoring the new Land’s End line ‘Canvas’, reminiscent of J. Crew (but cheaper) & the GAP.

I get home today and my mom has a bandage on her foot. Oh Lord, what did she do now? I’m thinking tragic freak accident.
No. She got a tattoo. A STL tattoo place is doing select designs for $13 in honor of Friday, the 13th. BUT…each design has a little “13” in it.
So hers is three stars, a moon and a “13” written, in what I must say, is a pretty neat font.
My mom is cooler than me. sigh.
Alternatively Titled: Going back for Homecoming for the first time in 3 years and why I can’t wait
I am incredibly lucky.
There are many reasons for this but mostly being that I had an amazing…
While I wound up transferring from NU, the year and a half I spent there provided me with some of the greatest memories and friends of all time.
