I thought I would check in with an update of randomness since I've not been very good at rambling endlessly lately. (You're welcome to those of you with tired eyes.)
* I started a new journal last night. I love opening up a brand new blank book. It makes me write a little more neatly and it makes me wonder what sorts of adventures are ahead that will fill up the pages.
* Saturday, I went shopping with my Mom and enjoyed some fantastic retail therapy. You know, I have such shopping willpower, until I shop with her. She can talk me into buying things I'd be too cheap to buy on my own. And (sigh) she's usually right. One time a couple of years ago, she talked me into buying a twenty some dollar skirt. I never spend that much on a skirt. Or a shirt. Or any other single item of clothing. But she insisted I'd get much good use out of it, so I broke down and bought the skirt. It's one of my favorites. Wear it all the time. This time she talked me into $22 shoes. And already I can tell they'll be a staple worth the money.
* School has started again. It's kind of nice to have life about the campus again. It's nice to run into people I've not seen for a while and hear how things went for them over the summer. It's been a very busy couple of weeks here at work as we've been working valiantly to get everything done promptly, but it's been good.
* I don't think I said this before, but I've decided to overhaul my dining room. Right now it's more of a "formal dining space" with a big table and a buffet and all that. But I don't really have big groups of people over, and other than scrap fests, my entire table is rarely used. So a couple of weekends ago when I was stuck at home while it poured outside, I was bitten with the bug that makes me redo a room. I've been scheming and planning ever since. This week I started the first phase of the overhaul, which was to remove a really old air conditioner that I wasn't using anymore. The next phase is to remove the table. That means I'll have to buy a real desk chair so that the dining room chair that I'm using for a desk chair can go away with the table.
* Anyone else out there gearing up for a new season of TV? I said a fond farewell to Army Wives last week - and here in a week or so, the current season of HGTV's Next Design Star will conclude. Then I can get back to the normal set of shows. I must make a list of what will comprise my must-see TV this year.
Well I think that's all for now. Happy Wednesday!

I'm going to continue watching Friday Night Lights, Heroes, Grey's, Lost (maybe not), Amazing Race, CSI and Power of 10. I'm going to check these new shows: Bionic Woman, Chuck, Cashmere Mafia and Moonlight.
I didn't stick with Friday Night Lights - which is unfortunate because I'm a HUGE kyle chandler fan. (That's his show, right?) Grey's and DH are definitely on my list. I quit watching lost after they took the big mid-season break. Seems like I"m missing a key show. What is it??
Have you seen anything about that new show "Pushing Daisies?" It looks really good. I've been getting into "House", so I'm probably going to watch that. "Cavemen" (yes, they are making a sitcom based on the cavemen from the Geico commercials) looks like it will only last 2, maybe 3 weeks. It looks really stupid. And of course, "America's Next Top Model" starts Cycle 9 Sept. 19th. I can't wait. It's the only show I watch faithfully.
Pushing Daisies sounds really familiar - but I forget what it's about. I know I've seen previews. I like House a lot (because I wish I could say what I think just like he does) but I am a super hypochondriac, so I can't always watch every episode. Eyeroll on the Cavemen. SERIOUSLY???
I hit and miss America's Next Top Model - if Amber comes over, I watch it with her, but otherwise, it's too much Tyra for me.
Friday Night Lights is Kyle's show. Each episode was better than the last, in my opinion. It's not just the football, but the character's life happenings. I catch Top Model occasionally too. Lost was better it's last eight episodes, but I didn't like the very last one so seeing if it continues to improve or not. Pushing Up Daisies is about a guy who can touch dead people and bring them back to life. He does this to solve their murders. Cashmere Mafia is about high power women and their friendships. Seeing if it is funny and a keeper (Lucy Lui is in it). The cavemen show looks absolutely stupid, can't believe they created a show about them.
Pushing Daisies will be on ABC - watch this preview: http://abc.go.com/fallpreview/pushingdaisies/
The cinematography looks awesome.
America's Next Top Model is my favorite. You're right, though... one can only handle so much Tyra... she's so full of herself and ungenuinely "concerned" with common-folk. David Spayde has his own show on Comedy Central and he makes fun of Tyra all the time. It's hilarious! Remind me to do his impression of Tyra for you. You'll die laughing!
First off you know me, I can't wait for the new season of TV! Grey's especially, since they keep airing the promo's for it. Luckily I like the summer reality shows though.
I am very very very cheap, but I will spend money on clothes. I don't know why that is. Oh well.
Have a good one! I promise I will email you soon haha
No TV for me (though I have to agree with Sarah about Tyra).
I love when I have to choose a new blank book. Looking through the drawer that's stuffed full of them. Deciding which one is right for what I'll be writing in it. Spiral-bound or not? The one that promises to lie flat? Shakespeare cover or floral? It takes a long time to choose.
But I never noticed if I write more neatly when I start one. I think I do, though.
Sarah - thanks for the link. I will definitely check that one out!
Phats - are you going to watch the Grey's spinoff? I can't remember what it's called.
Skyepuppy - I had to laugh at my OCD'ness when you talked about choosing the next journal. When I get new journals I put them in the order I receive them and that is the order they're used. I don't think I could handle a random selection - though your way makes much more sense!
