Magazines

Are we too old for Cosmo? I dont know about y'all but I'm 26, almost 27 and I recently decided I might be too old for Cosmo magazine. I feel like every issue is the same. How to please your man. These are the products you need NOW. Scary things that can happen to you at the gyno. Girls that get into bad situations and how to avoid them.....You get the point.

I recently canceled my subscription and decided to get Real Simple instead. Great magazine! Now I'm finding new recipes and decorating tips and how to be more organized. I'm not sure what all of this says about me, maybe I'm settling down and I'm ready to make a home and family.

I also get In Style, Harpers Bazaar and my roommate gets Vogue. I am not a huge Vogue fan, there are too many words and not enough pictures. I'm not a big reader. I would love a subscription to Southern Living but that would be too much like my mom. I just steal her old ones.

What does everyone else read?

Hottie of the Week: Matthew Goode

My apologies for being a little MIA lately. I have a new boy in my life and have been spending spare time with him. In keeping with hottie of the week Sunday nights I am giving us all a little Eye Candy. I first saw this hottie in Chasing Liberty. Then he was in MatchPoint which I loved. I searched high and low for a copy of Brideshead Revisited just to see Goode. He is now staring in Leap Year and I cant wait to see it!

Hottie of the week: Josh Holloway

This past summer my roommate and I decided we needed a new show to watch until the fall seasons started back up. We decided to spend the summer netflixing LOST. We got addicted. Not only to the show but to the sexy southern badass...Sawyer!

I'll admit I didnt like him very much in the beginning but he has grown on me and now I find naughty very sexy. Ladies I give you..Josh Holloway!

I cant write

So yesterday I was filling out paperwork AGAIN for a reality show that I have been shortlisted for. I havent told you all about this yet but I will get to that. As I started to fill out 10 pages of Q and As I realized something, I think I forgot how to write. I spend so much time typing that I rarely have to write things. I misspelled words left and write and my handwriting is very bad. Okay now the teaser that caught your eye.

I havent mentioned this reality show because I wasnt sure how sure of a thing it was. Things are looking good!  The show is called "The Good Life". It is about socialite's in various town's across America who live a good life. Girls who have great designer clothes and accessories and fantastic friends. There is a part of my life that I've only briefly mentioned to you. I am a self proclaimed socialite.

My family is very involved in the Savannah College of Art and Design and I go to all of their events. Which are amazing and oh so glamourous! Every year there is a Fashion show with big names like: Andre Leon Talley, Tom Ford, Vera Wang, Zac Posen, and Marc Jacobs. I have met all of these people and even shared thanksgiving dinner with Andre in 2004.

Film Festival is another big SCAD event that takes place every October. Here is a photo of me and Catherine Zeta Jones.

This year I got to meet Claire Danes and she was super nice. I dont like to brag or even share these facts because they sound like bragging and I dont want to come across that way. However, if this show pans out I will be doing it to make my family and the college proud. I will do my best to shed a good and classy light on southern socialites. I hope not to have any scandals, fights, or drunk hookups. At least not caught on tape :)

I wanted to share that part of my life so that I can keep you all abreast as this unfolds. It will probably not pan out once they realize that I actually hate heels and never wear Manolos. The fact that I cant write probably wont help me either.

Hottie of the week: Henry Cavill

I'm not sure what the rest of you do during your vacations but, I watch lots of tv and sleep. I decided to spend this long weekend watching season 1 of the Tudors. I'm a bit of a history nerd and therefore appreciate the concept of the show. And then I saw Henry Cavill who portrays the Duke of Suffolk. HOTTIE!! I'm so addicted now and cant wait to see him in season 2 which I should have in a few days.

Santa Baby

Dearest Santa Baby,

I've been a good girl and I've had a tough year. The pitfalls were losing my job, having to borrow money from family, having to move to a smaller place, My grandfather getting sick, and not finding Mr. Right. The good things that happened this year were finding a job, making new friends, having fun even when life got me down, paying off my car, and being healthy and losing 15lbs.

So Santa, I think I've done good for other people. I raised $1400 for the humane society of Savannah. I bought multiple homeless people meals this year. I even gave one of them $5 for having a creative sign. I visited people I didnt know in the nursing home. I went to church 3/8 of the Sundays this year. I babysat my niece and nephew when my brother was in a jam. I ran errands for my mom and helped her around her house. I gave clothes and designer shoes to the needy....Santa, I've been a VERY good girl.

What comes with my new less extravagant lifestyle is not having as many wants. So this year I really only want to be happy and healthy in 2010. I'd like to someone come into enough money to buy this house in Savannah.

If you really wanted to be nice then you'd let me win the lottery so that I could buy this house.

If you helped me win the lottery I could buy all of the Manolos, Jimmy Choo's, and Louboutin's that I want. Of course I'd buy some for my friends and family too. I could actually donate all of my current clothes to the needy and get all new clothes because I would be able to quit my job and work out religiously and I would NEED the new clothes. I would also love to give my Honda to Charity and I could buy this in its place.

I mean Santa, there is a lot of good that can be done if  I hit the mega million on Friday night. So yes, thats what I want for Christmas. And Santa If you help me get what I want then I'll take you on my Mega Yatch for a tour of the world from sea as opposed to the air which is the only way you've seen it.

The Christmas Mouse

Usually I have my own witty stories to share. Today I want to share a friends story that I heard last night.

My friends Lindy and Josh have been dating for a few years and move in together about a year ago. Josh works for the Coast Guard doing oil spill relief. He got Lindy to go out with him by telling her that he once cleaned oil off of a duck using dawn soap and  little washcloth. Lindy went to grad school with me and is one of the kindest people I know. She is carefree and loves to do nice things for people.

Last night we went out for drinks and they were telling a story about a mouse they found in their apartment. As a couple they tell great stories because they play off each other and take turns telling different parts. I'd like to share the story of the Christmas Mouse.  Lindy's part will be in Bold to make this story easier to read.

Lindy: So the other day we made Christmas cookies to take home to our families and we got up the next morning and they were all gone.
Josh: We have a mouse
Lindy: So i freaked out and hid in the bathroom. 
Josh: I got on the floor with a flashlight and found a small mouse hole under the stove
Lindy: I decided to get some mortar and caulk and cover it up
Josh: But the mouse would get stuck and die and smell
Lindy: But I dont want to kill it because it is probably a very nice mouse and we should just let it go in the park
Josh: I saw it the next day and it was no mouse, it was a RAT
Lindy: (closing her ears and squealing) EWW stop, it was a mouse. A nice mouse, it was our Christmas mouse because he ate our cookies and took them to his family. 
Josh: It was a RAT and it had to DIE.
Lindy: So Josh bought rat poison, excuse me. Mouse poison and set out 8 bars. 
Josh: and I woke up the next morning and it was all gone. He ate every last crumb of it
Me: (laughing very loudly) so did you find him
Josh: he probably went back under the house and died
Lindy: but it was a fast and painless death. I really wish we had caught it and let it free
Josh: but you hid in the bathroom and didnt want to see the rat
Lindy: the MOUSE, it was a cute mouse I'm sure and he didnt deserve to die
Josh: But he ate all of the cookies
Lindy: yea I have to make new cookies tomorrow. Hopefully he didnt tell his friends where the delicious cookies were.

END STORY.
