Loose

Have you seen this commercial:

So hysterical. I envision that most people find that the clothes their mom wears are probably not what they would want to wear. Luckily, my mom is an okay dresser. She and I do not agree on everything, but she would never ask me to wear "loose" jeans that she kept in a bin forever. She likes to buy clothes (like I do) and then not wear them and give them to me. She'll buy things that are too young, or buy them for a present, not remember where she put them, and have to give them to me at a later time. I was donating some things to the Salvation Army this weekend, and I thought to myself: I should give this to mom, the tags are still on it. Then it dawned on me, oh, she gave it to me.

I can not wait for Thanksgiving to see what might be in store for me to bring back that won't cost me a dime.

Still sick, no gym for me until I get better. It is all stuck in my chest. Ugh, I don't wish this cold upon anyone. Well there's maybe one person, but I don't like to name names.

Rainy Days

I really can not believe it is raining in San Diego, and has been all day. It is not very often that my day gets put on hold from a little bit of rain. However, people in So Cal (I'm not a native so I can give them a hard time if I want to) do not, I repeat, DO NOT know how to drive in the rain. Whether it is pouring, sprinkling, or misting, it is as if their "moron" hats come on and they can't drive. We saw an accident on our way home from the gym. Obviously, it is best to stay inside. I am thinking of kicking back and watching some TV shows I need to catch up on ("Hart of Dixie" and "Gossip Girl") and then probably watching this:

1960

I really love the television show, "Mad Men"

I could watch it on Netflix all day, but since I have a job, and I go to the gym, and sometimes a social life (okay, not the last part) I try to limit my intake. I do not watch the current episodes as it is a new obsession. These are the reasons why I love this show more than anything else (except maybe Parenthood and Golden Girls):

I know that you can not tell in this photo, but I love the giant offices with REAL desks made of wood. Desks and cubicles in my office, or any that I have ever worked in, generally not real wood, and hideous. Also, to have a cocktail cupboard, tray, whatever you want to call it, in your office, to drink from time to time, just seems so adult and luxurious. Glamorous even.

The simple advertising. I hate today's advertising. Everything has to come with all you would ever need, including the kitchen sink, and if it doesn't come with it, it better do it. It better clean, sanitize, dust, mop, sweep, etc. with no effort on my part. I just like a much simpler time.

These ladies. I love the secretaries. I love the way they dress, their hair, that they actually dress well for work (yes, I know I am guilty of the jeans and t-shirt days) but look at how classy and put together they all look. Not to mention, they look attractive. They look like men would want to be around them.

Housewives. This picture, no joke, is kind of what I imagined it'd be like when I grow up. I know that is totally crazy, but its true. I love that style dress, as well.

This bathroom. I love the blue and pink. I love the tile and the wallpaper. I would love to buy a really old house with classic designs like this. It is so outlandish, but classic, at the same time. Love it. Oh, and Don Draper is pretty smokin'.

Joan Holloway. Umm... what I would do to reign in my curves so I looked like that. I've always wanted to be a redhead, as well. I love her character, her clothes, etc. And that pen necklace. Love, love, love.

I never used to be a TV addict

I used to tease my mom and my sister for needing two DVRs.

Now I understand.

I never thought I really watched television.

Example, the TV is not on right now.

However, I've recently compiled my can not miss list and if I miss it, I better be able to see a repeat or watch it online.

And if I had to pick a favorite, "Parenthood" would win, hands down.

The night Chris and I decided to stay up and watch it on a whim was the best decision we ever made.
