I’m sick of snooty 401k plan participants. I could vent for hours about this, but I’ll spare you.

Weekly Fashion Inspiration: Audrey!

She’s a classic beauty with a classic style. I wish I were spending my summer days in this style of glamour instead of sitting behind my desk in my ultra-conservative office. Oh well, I can still be inspired by her!

Flashback: Wrinkles In Need of Cuddles.

Me and my sister used to watch this VHS ALL the time when we were little. We could not, for the life of us, remember what it was called last week, but we finally found it on YouTube.

Dream Destinations: Brussels

Everyone who knows me knows that I want to travel and see the world. I love my home state and would never want to LIVE anywhere else, but I would love to see and experience different places.

The Vagabond Girl is an inspiration to me as a fashionable, young jet-setting artist-type. She travels the globe and takes fun, crazy party pictures wherever she goes. Her blog is one of my favorite reads. Most recently she was in Brussels. Her photos of the city give me a strong desire to go to a place I had never thought twice about before.

Currently Reading: Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberger

Why: Because The Devil Wears Prada and Everything Worth Knowing are guilty pleasures.

Impressions: Eh. I read the scathing reviews for this book an amazon.com but still figured I’d give it a try. The long wait-list at the library further piqued my interest. I was wrong. It’s dragging and I’m not even half-way through. Unlike TDWP and EWK, this one has three main characters. Instead of creating a bumbling and loveable heroine whose head we get inside, Weisberger created three vague character outlines whose lives seem vapid and one-dimensional.

Emmy is a chef who is still going through career angst at age 30 (doesn’t it ever get better people?) and has just been dumped by her boyfriend of 5 years (a cocky egomaniac who seems like an unlikely choice for someone whose obsessed with marriage and kids). Leigh is a work-a-holic book editor who isn’t in love with her boyfriend, yet somehow let things get to the point of him proposing. Adriana is unemployed and the gorgeous daughter of an ex-supermodel; I guess I don’t really get the point of Adriana or understand why she would be friends with two such downers. For the matter, I don’t see why they care about each other so much- they seem like self-absorbed bitches. The point of the novel is supposed to be that the three women make life-altering decisions and agree to carry forth with them in the next year. Frankly, I don’t feel the impact of their decisions and fail to see why I should care.

Anyway, that’s my rant. Maybe the book will get better and some huge character insights and developments will occur in the next hundred pages or so.

People around my office are always calling each other “Trouble.” As in, “Uh oh! HERE COMES TROUBLE!” when they see a friend walking down the hall towards them. Is that some really cute thing and I’m just lame because I think it’s irritating?
