things that make me angry!!!!
but first, a shoutout to taylor who was a fabulous friend and prevented me from stuffing my face w/ pizza.. i had a salad instead.... and today i go to the gym... again.... i'm excited!
ok, so my life's been kinda sex and the city-centric lately b/c i've been watching the show...(finished it yesterday)...
so there's this episode where carrrie goes to her friend's baby shower or kid's bday or whatever, and she's asked to leave her shoes at the door (her famous manolo blahnik's) at the end of the party, her shoes go missing...the hostess doesn't seem too concerned and later offers to pay carrie back... as she pulls out her cheque book, she asks, how much? carrie replies: $485. the hostess is shocked and goes into this monologue about why should she have to pay for carrie's extravagant lifestyle and how when you have kids you grow up blah blah blah....carrie later talks to miranda and says how when you're single there's not a single event that warrents celebration and gifts... (ie. marrieds have an engagement party, the wedding, kids, baby showers, etc.)
this got me thinking, why is it ok to spend $485 on someone else (child, significant other) but not on yourself? i mean, who's more important than you?!
carrie later threw herself an engagement party for marrying herself... she registered at manolo and got her shoes back...
there are certain parts of that show that are sooo true and really reflect a lot of things i feel... (but then again, a lot of it is pure self indulgent bullshit and desperate neediness...)
anyways, that's my rant for today...
also, for the record, i hate raspberries... i have to eat them in my oatmeal... blah..
peace out for now...
random quote: I am sleeping and walking! Sleeping and walking! How am I doing that?

yes SATC is totally (and painfully) true most of the time...but while i too love a good pair of expensive and very high heels (of which i own many), i religiously read vogue, vanity fair, and troll the internet keeping up on how flats and smock dresses are in this season in england, and i believe in the all mighty magic penny, i just wish there was more 401K talk on that show, more real reality other than cancer and caring for an aging anne meara...that men weren't the retirement plan (or the apartment rental/condo buyout solution-->64.4...i know miranda's ring pays for it, but i'm still not sure whether i'm ok with that one...doesn't that show ultimately just preach settling, compromise, sacrifice, longing, self-regimenting all in the name of relationships with 'men' )...for twenty-somethings and early thirty-ss, better to watch first wive's club...SJP was in that too playing the quess what?!?!...m
or rather charlotte's ring...Opps!...m
