HAHA
I love Gawker. I read it throughout the work day because I can always find something to crack me up. I <3 to death their "Reviews" of The Hills and Gossip Girl episodes. I also enjoy the Open Caption feature, which I recently showed to my BFF Ray Ney who found it equally as amusing as I did.
Examples:
From entry titled: Gossip Girl: No Nookie for Blair and Chuckles:
"[. . . ] Lest I forget, Dan and Nate fell more and more in love. At first Nate was angry that Dan knew about the pauperdom, but then he came over for chili and Dan took him in his big strong arms and petted his soft, Leeza Gibbons-y highlighted hair, and all was right with the world. Little Jenny fluttered around like a bird in a Disney movie and Pa Humphrey, kindly old King Triton that he is, sang a low song while the boys danced together, fumbling—like fawns, or Lt. Dan, on new legs—ever closer toward ecstasy. [. . . ]"
Example 2:
Caption: "And you are saying I was married to this Thorton character?"
Example 3:
Caption: "Wind-Up Toy Walks Ceaselessly Into Wall"
Hysterically ridiculous, I know...! ha

How can you do that to Santa. Esp. when he said he was willing to be paid LESS if it was the expense that got him canned.

Better
Things are looking up, a bit, at the beginning of this week.
Work = busy; THREE day work week! Yippee skippy. I am trying REALLY hard to be productive!
School=busy; major Biology assignments due in TWO days but at least then they will be done before the man and I leave town on Thursday AM. Plus I have class tonight and Weds which is time-consuming as well. I am speaking of 2 quizzes, 2 lab quizzes, and 2 labs. Ewie. I am thinking I will go into the office early tomorrow AM to really accomplish something FIERCE (had to throw that in).
Personal life=extra busy! Three day work week because we are going to a wedding in SC this weekend b/c FH is a groomsman. We are talking a 200+ wedding with me knowing NO ONE. Southern belle manners and grace are going to be ALL over this wedding featuring moi. I just want to make sure I am appropriately covered in all aspects of etiquette! Jeezles. I haven't been to a legit southern-southern wedding in AGES.
FH and I had an okay weekend. It was a bit tumultuous. Our aggravations are related to trying to save up for 1. an lovely engagement ring, 2. a down payment on a house, and 3. a wedding down the road. NOT easy, esp when you have spent about 2k on attending, participating in, and buying gifts for weddings in the past 10 months!!! Yikes.
So it all pretty much has stemmed from that.
As I sip my San Pelligrino and lime juice, I have my outfit of today posted on Polyvore to share with you all:

LOVELY. It was our first legit frost this AM (which makes sense as our alarm for 6am didn't get us out of bed until more like 6:45...) so we had to scrape (i.e. Mike did) our windshields before we left for work at around 7:30!! Yippee!!
TV speal:
Ungh. So has anyone lately watched GREEK? I have mixed feelings about how funny the coupling of Max and Casey is plus the whole Cappie totally going to fawn over her at somepoint again in the near future... *sigh* Ashleigh is so lucky to have Casey as her BFF. Does that mean they are going to girl-fight a la Gossip Girl?
I LOVE GOSSIP GIRL. there are no words. Seriously. Let's just get that straight!! No complaints!
The Hills - OMFG. Hollywood, correct me if I am wrong but Audrina is as DUMB as a doorknob! She constantly dates idiots, and now she is doubting LC on hooking up with Justin Bobby? Unless the girl was roofied and raped by the guy, I cannot IMAGINE her ever doing this. Hello, The Hills: The Lost Scenes - she bought HEIDI A CHANEL PURSE. Come on. How much love and genuine-sharing-of-wealth does this girl do. You know she totes was on the mortgage for the house she shares with Lo and used to share with Audrina, too. W.T.F.
Grey's Anatomy - so.so.so.so. good! Seriously. Mer-Der not insano-fluctuating and Izzie having balls. The Callie thing is weird though. Hahn still reminds me of an old bald guy wearing a fabulous blonde-brown wig, but maybe that is just me...
More later. xoxo

Ch-ch-ch-changes...
Like the new color scheme? Let me know! MY fav colors together are pink and grey, especially when worn or blended together (like a creative plaid, polka dots, toile with background color)!
ALSO, check out my below entry. Fun picture from my holiday weekend and also, VERY IMPORTANT, need input on a dress I would be wearing to the rehearsal dinner for a wedding Mike is a groomsman in. It is the weekend of the 23 of this month, in South Carolina, so think about the climate (although the rehearsal for the wedding IS going to be at night...)

NEED INPUT! (see end of entry)
I love Long Weekends. Especially as an employee for the Big Man, because that means I get a holiday paid about once every 2 months! Mike and I took advantage of the opportunity and decided to go up to Yankeeland so I could FINALLY meet all of Mike's family! What an interesting trip it was (in Mike's fugly truck that he knows I cannot stand), what a amazing home his parents live at, and what an awesome fun time we had with his (and even more so now, my) friends - the Cleary's.
Mike and I went to this bar called Circa, where we went to Oktoberfest on Sunday:
I know, we look so cheesy, but we spent $8 on each of those glasses and I wanted to show off the goods! It was a great time...
I wish I had remembered to take a picture of his parents home. It is basically an English-style stone cottage with an addition on top. So vintage-y. I can imagine if I was an interior decorator/with my styling background what I would do to it to upgrade it for them. It is gorgeous ---- so much potential. I.e. Michael's room he grew up in is the old Dining Room! HA! With slate floors and a stone fireplace! It's insane.
Here is a mix of pictures from Google Images to give you an idea:
There was some ivy growing on the far side of the house where it is mostly just a back bathroom, den, and stone living room (which may have been a kitchen at one point because the fireplace back there is very big):
His family background is German-Welsh and this is really the kind of stone by the house:
These are the kinds of windows Mike and I had in our room, which faces the South, due East, and overlooks the garden, old swimming pool (slate-lined, now mostly a pond but I really want us to invest in this place, would be a great little retreat!!!!):
Lastly, we have ANOTHER, yes readers, ANOTHER wedding to attend this Winter. It will be in South Carolina and we leave in two weeks. Do any of you all like any of these dresses? This would be a rehearsal dinner dress, and I would wear either a shawl or cardigan with the dress as the service and reception are in the same place, a historic mansion in SC. Michael is a groomsman and will be in a tux on the wedding day - I will be wearing one of my favorite semi-formal dresses, which is a purple-ish-blue shade and is a silk dress with a side tie/sash (on the wedding day):
J.Crew hammered silk dress in Bright Peacock:
J.Crew Silk chiffon Juliet dress in Kelly Green:
J.Crew Lyndsey Cotton Cady dress in Sour Lemon or Orange Peel:
J.Crew strapless Carolina dress in Bright Rhubarb:
J.Crew Hammered silk Laura dress in Honey Glaze:
J.Crew Sophia short silk dress in Bright Papaya:
J.Crew Polka-dot rosette dress:
Berry-trim Nathalie tank dress in Bright Peacock:
Okay ladies (and gentlemen) get to work - because I need to order this baby pronto!!

Wow
Okay, okay okay - It is now Thursday and I am just getting to the point of returning to make a new post. My mistake!!
All is well here. W&L Homecoming was a sight for sore eyes, I don't waste my money to watch UVA lose in football and I have a greater fondness for Dubyuhnell.
Weather was perfection, my Dad was busy with working so Mom, Mike, and I went out into the glorious crisp/warm Fall day together!
Here is Mike and I - he HAD been wearing a cute J.Crew button-down with a sweater (we had lunch with one set of my grandparents), but he promptly changed into a J.Crew polo before we got to the game...
Here is a picture of my Mom and I. We enjoy going to the games to see what the students are wearing. W&L is a pretty interesting school. If people aren't incredibly wealthy or middle class, then they are international or scholarship students - but everyone is fashionable in their own spectrum of tastes. It's kind of like when Harper's Bazaar does one of those maps-of-fashion articles? It's like that. Pretty spiff! This time we saw either girls dragging out Lilly (OUT OF SEASON DUH) or pretty jewel-tone shift dresses (tres chic).
I think Mom has my J.Crew cashmere and wool blend turtleneck sweater around her shoulders...
So we had a good time. W&L kicked old Macon's butt! As my Grandpapa put it, "W&L is playing your Alma Mater's Tiddlywinks team!" HA! I don't even really get that joke but it's cute nonetheless.
After the game, Mike and I walked into campus from Wilson Stadium just so I could show him around the campus. I had fun poking around the W&L Bookstore for Christmas ideas I could give Mom and Dad - which I had big luck on!! I saw some adorable headbands, a pink and green W&L baseball cap, a pink W&L sweatshirt-material tunic dress, and of course all of their Vineyard Vines stuff! I plan on poking around in there for some presents for some of my girlfriends, too!
Not much else went on over the weekend. Just some general studying and trying to get ahead in some assignments as Mike and I are taking off to head up to Yankee territory for the Federal Govt holiday weekend. We are using vacay days for tomorrow to drive up to the Yankee land to save time for the rest of the holiday weekend. I am amped up to meet the rest of his family and spend time with his friends. It should be a lot of fun!
Been scoping out Christmas ideas online too:
an Apple iTouch for those roadtrips Mike and I take together...
A pair of Christian Louboutins ($555 at Bergdorfs *normally less than Net-A-Porter and better selection than Bluefly, btw):
Another custom Boat and Tote bag. My family and I gave my cousin one for a high school graduation present and I think that I could use one for carrying books to class, walking from my parking spot to my office, etc.
Maybe not as fancy as this one, but one in forest green with the long handles and zip-top might be perfect!!
Lily Pulitzer Bexley Dress:
Tiffany & Co. Bean bracelet:
Lemon Tree Papierie Pink and Brown toile foldover note:
Okay, that is enough for now, of course I could go on for HOURS. ha! Back to work, but I will be better about posting with greater frequency!!
xoxo

McCain Phoenix pad up for sale
The outside of it is neat, but the inside is a good bit too much fancy for my taste. In my conservative preppy views, it looks a good bit too much 'New Money' to me...
