Some Goings On

I saw the Tom Ford movie tonight with a co-worker. It was sad, but I knew the plot going into it. The fashion, set design and film style was very cool and done beautifully. I still need to see Up In The Air and Hurt Locker and then I will have much more fun watching the Oscars. 

Been swooning over this perfect V-day date night skirt. That is, if Jon and I were going to go on a "date". We did the fancy restaurant thing our first two V-days and last year we started a bit of a new tradition. We bought a fondue kit (with recipe book) off craigslist (brand new! from crate and barrel!), chopped some pears and bread and dipped it in cheese while sipping pink champagne. 

Been bidding on milk glass cake stands on ebay like it's my job.

And, been adding two tablespoons of flax to my breakfast smoothie. Things like this are weird, because it doesn't change the taste or anything of the smoothie other than adding brown flecks everywhere, but I am doing it purely because it is "supposed to be good for me". I know things like blueberries are good for you because you can see the rich color and they are fruit (duh!) but stuff like this could be ground up snake oil, and I'd never know it.

And lastly, The Bachelor!! Take a big whiff of that rose, Gia, because it's your last one from Jakie. Do you think she just found out last night with all of us that Jake did not ask her mother's permission to marry her, but asked all the other girl's parental figures? Yikes. Pretty rough, but Gia was saved after Ali realized reality and went home voluntarily. I bet Jake asked the producers if Gia could go home as well, since "the moment I know you aren't for me, I will let you know". So now we have Gia, and two girls who have been hitched before? Hmmm.
