Stream of Consciousness Saturday

After being quite sick for over a week, I’m finally on the mend–I hope.  Phew, I was just about to break down and go to the walk in clinic or my actual doctor!  Sorry to all my co-workers for refusing to  take sick days–I promise I always cover my cough.

Today has been both lazy and busy, Frank’s at work, so I’ve had all kinds of thoughts and nobody to share them with, thank god for blogs, right?

Here are just a few things on my mind, feel free to chime in!

Thanksgiving Live: I love Thanksgiving specials on the Food Network, but apparently, no Thanksgiving Live this year.  Was is because of the very awkward on air feud between my beloved Giada and Alton Brown last year?

I guess Food Network isn’t taking any chances this year. I wonder if Giada and Alton have spoken since!

Petty is So Cute in his Petticoats

I’ve gone a bit nuts with buying winter clothes for Pettitte.  He’s pretty much always better dressed than me when we go out.  That said, the poor dog is still cold even in his jackets.  The sweater+jacket combo seems like overkill, but it might be necessary. We managed to make it to the vet for a bordella shot, then to petco to make up for the shot, and then a quick trip to the Union Square Dog Park.  It was my first time at that dog park, the dogs there were so nice and Petty had a blast, but it smelled terrible. Not sure if I’ll be back.

Sweatpants

Is it acceptable to wear sweatpants until I change for a 9:30PM dinner?  I think the answer is no, but I will likely disregard my own advice.

Shake it Out

Will I ever get Shake it Out, out of my head? It’s been weeks.  This is so embarrassing, I need to download something new stat.

Andy Cohen

I read both of Andy Cohen’s books, Most Talkative and The Andy Cohen Diaries in a couple days.  I love Andy. I love Wacha.  How have I never run into him? We seem to go to a lot of the same places in the village.

Giveaway

Most excitingly, I have an awesome giveaway planned! It’ll be up in a couple days, if not sooner.  You won’t want to miss it.

What are you thinking about this Saturday?

  1. I’ve had my own run of questions today:
    1. Why do I feel the need to confess that I ate a cheeseburger at 5 guys because I was by myself but I wouldn’t if someone else had been with me?
    2. How do I get the Notre Dame fight song out of my head .. bring on the whiskey, bring on the rye…
    3. Since when is it normal for the announcer to say “no criminal record and a heck of a football player too.” ?

  2. Oh how I miss you today! We could have had a perfect day together. Bo is in Atlanta at a wedding so I’ve had a Geneva weekend with hiking and relaxation.

    Sunday thoughts:
    1) I couldn’t decide between a latte or a cappucino this morning when I went to LPQ so I bought both, to go, and had half of each this morning on the couch. 🙂
    2) I have two books staring me in the face and I can’t decide which to continue reading before the other – one is Amy Poehler’s and the other is about Michaelangelo.

    Oh and yes, it’s totally acceptable to stay in sweatpants all day! 🙂

  3. Ha, Sandy, that made me smile. No need to confess a five guys run, it’s hard to resist the smell of fries and burgers. Totally true about number 3, and also totally unacceptable.

  4. Hey Ash! I didn’t realize that LPQ is outside the us too–that’s kind of embarrassing actually. I’m sure you’ll get through the Amy Poehler book in a couple days!
