A True Fashonista
If this isn't a beacon of fashion... I don't know what is! I feel like I need to consult this Llama on all future purchases!
Oh Llama... what do you think of this Hooded Sweater Coat I got from Victoria Secret yesterday?
I'll take THAT as a YES!... just saying.

You Did What????
That's Right!
I went to the gym! Always an occasion to be marked on a calendar, discussed with girl friends on the phone, and blogged about.
There is a branch of my gym ACROSS the street from my job. So I don't even have to deal with moving my car or walking the street, or paying .50 cents with a validation for 2 hours in their lot.
This branch has a pool AAAAND a few racket ball courts! What was that? You didn't know that I played racket ball? Well, I don't. But I seems to the be "corporate sport" on all the TV shows. Who knows!

Jo Jo the Cat
I'm not a cat person. Mostly because a) I am very allergic to them, b) I like the rodents that they seem to think are play toys.
This is JoJo a stray cat that you can see, has adopted me... Why you ask...is he sitting on my rug in my doorway? Gosh, he's a really cute and sweet cat. He follows me. He sits outside the door and meows at me while hanging out on the welcome mat.
He needs a good home. He's being fed by our 93 year old neighbor, but she already has a cat, so she doesn't wanna take him in. She wants to just feed him. And not let anyone find him a home. Poor little kitty just wants a place to call home!

Another Piece of My Heart
Jane Green is probably the author responsible for my liking the girly category "Brit Chick Lit". The first book of hers I read was "Straight Talking" which is described as "sets the record straight regarding the real world of dating, and follows the adventures of Tash and her friends as they search for fulfillment and the right kind of love. Funny, flirty, and ultimately tender, Straight Talking gets at the heart of modern romance.".
My next book of hers was Jemima J - A Novel About Ugly Ducklings and Swans. This book is described as "With
a fast-paced plot that never quits and a surprise ending no reader will
see coming, Jemima J is the chronicle of one woman’s quest to become
the woman she’s always wanted to be, learning along the way a host of
lessons about attraction, addiction, the meaning of true love, and,
ultimately, who she really is."
As you can see, this is light-hearted, semi cringe and awkward worthy female coming of age literature.
But most recently, Jane Green has been writing on harder deeper topics. She wrote a book called Promises to Keep about a sister who is diagnosed with cancer... AGAIN. This is NOT the chick literature that I'm accustomed to reading and enjoying. But I love the author, and have either read or listened to each of her books on tape.
Yesterday, I finished up my last disk of her most recently released work "Another Piece of My Heart" which follows a "blended family". If you have ever spent much time on the couch of a therapist's couch, you can hear how well thought out this book is. It hits on lots of topics of Step-parents. Alcoholic parents, Al-Anonism, Detachment, Boundaries, and People Pleasing, Growing up... It was an awesome book. At times, when I would turn on my CD player, I would cringe going "oh god, what's gonna happen in THIS chapter?!"
But the book was full of solid life lessons. Basic concepts that I think most of us miss growing up.
