I'm Just Sayin'

Like Carrie, I have been sitting at my desk writing, writing, writing, writing! and then there were shoes! LOL. Really been swamped, thanks for checking back in. More blogs and my review of Sex & The City 2 coming up!

Today Yahoo News is featuring more of their "Eat this not that" lists, and usually it is so painfully obvious to anyone with a brain, that I can't even believe people still eat this crap-especially that they think it is healthy. Here are some examples from Men's Health. Worst Frozen Fruit Drink Krispy Kreme Lemon Sherbet Chiller (20 fl oz) 980 calories 40 g fat (36 g saturated) 115 g sugars (29 teaspoons of the stuff!) Sugar Equivalent: 16 medium-size chocolate eclairs Imagine taking a regular can of soda, pouring in 18 extra teaspoons of sugar, and then swirling in half a cup of heavy cream! Now if Krispy Kreme is in the title, how could anyone think this crap is healthy? Really people? Use your brain! Worst “Health” Drink in America Smoothie King Peanut Power Plus Grape (large, 40 fl oz) 1,498 calories 44 g fat (8 g saturated) 214 g sugars (a mind-blowing 54 teaspoons' worth!) Sugar Equivalent: 20 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! I don't know what a "Sm...

LOST & some of my thoughts on the series finale! Wow! Everyone and their dog are talking about LOST today. People are even arguing the ending-just like Lord of The Rings and or Harry Potter. At the end of the day does it really matter if they were in a sideways world or purgatory? The point was that they couldn't move on until they worked through their own bullshit, some took longer than others. If you go back to season one when Damon, er. . . I mean Boone, gets killed, it makes sense because he was the most mentally adjusted character thus far. Locke needed to walk, he needed to go on that walk-about, so his after life, sideways life, or purgatory would definitely be being the strongest person on the island. He needed that to move on. Got an issue? Here's a tissue! Jack Shepard! Jack had more issues than most shrinks see in their lifetime, but the biggest issue he had was his relationship with his father. He had to work on that in order to move on. If you look at the relat...

Who says that smart girls can't love shoes as well? You know the stereotype we all have about girls that read? They can't be too concerned with looks as they always have their heads in a book! This is so not true! I love to read. In fact I hardly ever leave the house without at least two books in hand. I like to have one classic and one fun, bouncy chick-lit just in case. Sometimes I am in the mood for Ludlum, Clancy or even Stephen King-so I carry books with me. Now since Nook, I always have something to read without the bulk of books in my bag, but that doesn't mean my wardrobe is suffering. In fact, it means I can carry smaller, cuter purses and bags! (I think B&N should know they are helping us fashionista readers look better.) I love shoes. I do. I am not sure when the addiction began, but I love them. Nothing makes me feel better than putting on a gorgeous pair of shoes! I can sort of blame Carrie Bradshaw-who is a fictional character from Candice Bushnell's n...

" Life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. " I keep seeing these ads on my Yahoo and Hotmail pages that are linked to articles; Get a Degree That Will Get You Hired-1o jobs that need people now. . .blah blah blah. They are all the same. Here is my question to you. Don't you want more out of life than just being hired? What is wrong in the world today that just having a job is enough? I have been out of work many times since I choose to work in a creative, unsteady-you'll always be poor-it isn't a real job-career, so I understand the need for work, anything that will get you by. But to set the goal to just have a job that you won't lose? That makes me sad. In fact this is the most depressing thing I have read all year. It is asking us to settle for something less than extraordinary and why would we do that? Do you want to work your whole life in a job you hate and on your death bed have nothing but 40 years of misery behind you? I mean, isn...

OUCH!!! I was driving down the 210 when all of a sudden I accidentally ran over this huge nail and POW! Thankfully my owner knew how to get me to safety and no one was hurt. I love her so much, she always takes good care of me. I am all better now, resting with two new tires-because my mechanic didn't want me to be unbalanced and wobbly when driving. It hurt and it scared me~ I wish people would be more careful with the crap they leave on the roads.

Welcome to Los Angeles and if you don't know by now, two of the hottest rages around town are: juicing greens and cupcakes! I am starting to feel like a real Angeleno - it's only been a decade - I had a healthy, and yummy, Kale, Mustard Green, Spinach, Celery, Cucumber, & Apple juice, went for an hour hike in 85 degree weather and then enjoyed a yummy carrot cupcake when I returned home. The cupcake is totally healthy-Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing. In other words, Carrots and Cheese. Vegetable and Dairy. After working over 100 hours last week, my eyes have been a little sore, so the carrot is purely for my eyes. I didn't enjoy it at all! (So not true) and the Cheese-well that is just smart-calcium-hello? If I was in New York, I probably would have had a bagel with schmear - Oh. My. God. That actually sounds better than a juice drink- and a pastrami sandwich when I returned from Central Park in stead of Runyon Canyon, and it would be 50 degrees, not 80. . .Wait a m...
