Lets Celebrate!

So, I'm just letting you know that today is my one year blogging anniversary. NEAT! Feel free to send gifts.

As you can imagine, I wanted to post something really clever and fun to commemorate this momentus occasion. But you know what? I'd rather just read my book, watch the Scarlett Pimpernel, then go to bed.

If you would like to read about a sensible idea, please visit good ol' steve.

Something to Lounge in

Would you like to see my new superb loungewear pants? (Slightly superflous, since most everyone who reads this lives with me and has seen them already.) Oh, well, here they are.

Debbie and I had quite the adventure at The Target today, and I must say we did well with our purchases. These pants are the most comfortable thing I have purchased in a long while. Plus, we look WAY cuter in ours than this model does. Mostly because we don't tuck our shirts in, and we have cooler shoes. And also because we are naturally very cute most of the time. We wore them to the library, where I checked out this movie.

I think it will be good because Audrey Hepburn is in it. And, while William Holden is not as devistatingly handsom as Peter O'toole, I think he will be able to hold his own as the jaded screenwriter, & co.

I do hope it is good. Would you like to watch it with me?

Another aspect of our errands of the day was a quest for some dang-good-looking-worthy-of-a-hot-piece-sunglasses for Debbie. I think we were succesful, but I'll let Deb tell you more about that.
