Found a new bag to covet. Delicious, no? And only $676! Damn the dollar is WEAK! Trading at almost two dollars to the pound. Blimey.

I am eating some Fritos. They always make me think of when I was a kid and I would have the big ones with a little piece of cheddar cheese. And our skinny tiny cat Vixen would always beg for Fritos, or potato chips. She was a runt and had a superfast metabolism. Never gained weight. But she still managed to live a pretty long life. Aw, Vixen. She kindof looked like this, only skinnier.

I had to get up really early this morning and come to work thinking that testing on our new site would start at 6am. It was finally pushed out (again!) all the way to 10am. So I got here at 7:30 in the morning basically so I could enjoy my oatmeal and coffee in peace.
Last day before vacation! Yay! My back needs a vacation so bad. So does my husband. This weekend we’ll be packing and cleaning the house so that the pals feeding our cats don’t have to see the shame of our dirty tub.
Yesterday there was no baseball on in the evening, so I amused myself with some old Norma Shearer movies on TCM: “The Women” and “The Divorcee.” Shearer stars in both as a smart & beautiful woman who decides in the final frames of each film to give up her pride in order to get back together with the man she’s divorced. Because, you know, a woman is nothing without her husband! And if she just hadn’t been so silly and impulsive and wilful, they wouldn’t have had to divorce in the first place! Etc. Things sure were different back then. Of course everyone’s hair and clothes (I mean, “gowns”) and makeup was absolutely stunningly perfect in both films.

Since I got here so early, 10:45 feels like it should already be lunchtime.

OMG, I caught The Women on TCM too but had to go to bed before I could watch the ending. I was all, Don’t go back to him, Norma!!
I’m not such a fan of Norma Shearer but Rosalind Russell was dynamite. You know what else was hilarious? That credit sequence where each woman was characterized as an animal first.
