I bought my husband's cousins the double Walk the Line set of dvd and cd
exclusive to Wal–Mart. I also bought a lot of cedar stuff for the
closets, L'Oreal sublime glow self–tanner for my legs, Coppertone sport
with spf 50 for my arms, cat treats and Bounce free. DH bought himself
a new pair of Levi signature jeans, a gray tee for yard work, a 2 gallon
sprayer for roundup and charcoal. While waiting in line I spotted a
prominent attorney's wife. We were most likely both thinking, "What is
she doing here?"
I could name lots of US stores that have sweat shops. Do we ever
discuss how service employees do not get benefits and are purposely
given less than full time work for the week so they never qualify? I
also have strong opinions about unions undermining the quality of
education we have in our state. No, PLEASE no one start the dialogue
here again. We all make our choices. I know, David, you were not
attacking me.

I've been watching E since I returned from the gym this morning. For
whatever reason, I'm just not invested in the whole shabang this year
like I have been in the past. I haven't seen many of the nominated
performances and there isn't really anyone I'm seriously rooting for to
win. I do love seeing the photos of the dresses, hair, jewelry, makeup
and fashion disasters. I also would secretly love to see someone punch
Isaac for being too grab handy with the cleavage. Now that would be
Oscar worthy! Bless the fashion gods that you're TV is working!

Yes, though I would watch it anyway on the small one. I saw an
interview with Isaac. He way way out of line. OT but have you seen
North Country? It is so good and shows a woman standing up to men who
demean her and others. Hooray for Charlize Theron for doing suberb
acting in this one.

Went to Target and noted: "Well, that's the same price as Wal–Mart."
Then, the second item I bought, I noted: "Well, that's a penny
cheaper."
I didn't match the whole order.
They're only the largest company of any type in the world.

For the drinks and appetizer portion of an Oscar party (we couldn't
stay for the whole thing because Mr AJ has A Big Work thing
tomorrow) (and there's a contest for who's winning the big Oscars,
which I'm sure I'm going to win, because I guess right every year,
even without seeing the films, and I doubled my chances by filling
out both my ballot and Mr AJ's):
dark rinse bootcut jeans (Gap) [are they making these longer? I
got the regular length, which is usually perfect, and had to put on
higher–heeled boots because they were dragging]
white cotton fitted shirt (McRae's house label), untucked
black cotton velvet blazer (maybe Jones NY?, too lazy to go look)
black leather boots (with high heels)
coral rocking horse Hermes scarf [waves to Trilby]
wedding ring and YG hoop earrings
––AJ

Black straight leg trousers with red and white pinstripes (not gaudy)
Black Camisole
Black form fitting blazer
Black leather jacket
Red scarf (snowing today!)

Magic Johnson pants (love the cut)
Ralph Lauren shirt with Versace silk tie
What a mis–match !!!!
Colors worked though...

That's so hot!

I did pick Clooney for Syriana. On both ballots. I picked
Witherspoon on booth ballots and Ang Lee for director.
I think the real contest is for picture of the year and supporting
actress. One one ballots I chose Rachel Weistz and on the
other one Michelle Williams. For best picture I split it between
Brokeback Mountain and that movie whose name I can't recall,
it's not Thrust, but something like that. The one set in Memphis.

I loved the way my outfit came together...I had a last minute business
meeting but wanted to be casual until then... I wore:
navy velvet jeans with great flap pockets on the back
navy wool military blazer with navy velvet collar (old Jones New York
from military jackets first round in the 90's) – very dressy, but toned
down with the velvet jeans
white blouse with ruffled placket, untucked (Nordstrom)
black suede very plain boots (Nordstrom)

yes, we all make our choices, it's true. IRL, when anyone

Thanks for the rec. I just checked the weather. There has been a
drought in Phoenix for the past 136 days but the rain is going to begin
when I arrive and last for several days. It is probably the same
rainstorms we will have all of this week.

Our 2007 estimating activity is ramping up... I'm going to lose some
old code and get some new code for cross–training purposes but I get

of the changes to the new people. My manager got to hand out raises in
the afternoon, I was quite pleased with the result. Had a doctor
appointment, she wanted some therapeutic drug monitoring but since she
doesn't poke in the office I got a lab slip for to go visit the
"patient service center" (what a name!!!) at Quest Diagnostics.

It's cold & snowing today; hard to think that a few days ago I was
wearing a strapless dress, pointelle cardigan, and wedge sandals in 70+
weather! Today I am going to finish cleaning out my closets, put a few
more things on EBay, drop off some books at the library, and start
organizing bins for my move in a couple of months. My boyfriend thinks
he found the perfect townhouse for us, and although it doesn't have a
basement like we had wanted, there is a huge attic that the original
owners converted into a second living room! It's right in between
where his parents live and where my parents (er...just mom now) live.
Overall, today will be a cozy day spent mostly indoors & I'll probably
end up watching a movie with my sister since she's home for spring
break. My boyfriend has lots of appointments throughout Chicago today,
and it probably won't be a good idea for us to meet up since there's
now a blizzard warning in effect until midnight! Today's attire will
be nothing interesting...wore yesterday:
* Banana Republic rich teal blue stretch camisole with teal, camel, and
bronze beads and gemstones appliqued on teal mesh at the neckline
* Banana Republic sandy beige "Scooter" jacket with a stand–up collar &
silver zipper details, left unzipped
* White House | Black Market black pants with a hidden tab closure &
slightly flared leg
* Mossimo rich bronze peep–toe pumps with a 2.5" stiletto heel

THE "UNSINKABLE" TITANIC SANK TODAY IN 1912, McDONALDS FOUNDED TODAY
IN 1955: Got up with the alarm clock, kicked off the Web logs, and
then took a nap. Did a check of E–mail and such. Then, out to the
credit union and the USPS. Went to Fry's Electronics and didn't buy
anything there. Went to Kroger and did my grocery shopping. Going to
have TBD for lunch, I'm thinking Chinese. For the day so far:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GLEN CAMPBELL AND PETER FRAMPTON: Slept a bit late,
checked E–mail and such, and wrote a Farm letter. Then, out to Target
to buy a few items (also mailed the letter on the way there). Gassed
the car, $2.879/gallon. Went to a nearby Chinese buffet (close, but
not as close as the Mexican place) for lunch – yum, yum! Catching up
on conference calls this PM. For the day so far:
White T–shirt
Black Nike shorts, small silver left–leg logo

spinach enchiladas. For the second part of the day (tied the heat
record in Houston):
Dark green T–shirt
Blue denim chinos
Puma Suede sneakers (dark blue/off–white)

"cri–im–son and clo–o–ver, o–o–ver and o–o–ver..." fame): Didn't set
the alarm clock but still woke up about the normal time. Wrote a Farm
letter, then watched TV while the rain rolled in. Got out and made a
mailbox and credit union run about noon... the rain went away. Over to
the Mexican place for lunch (beef veggie soup). For the day so far:

AGO WHERE THEY HAD MESSY MONKEY AND RAUNCHY RAT TROUBLE: Started my
laundry but didn't finish. Late in the afternoon, after the
record–setting rain passed, I went to Kroger and then scrubbed myself
clean for the 6:00 PM Church service. Fixed my own supper. For the
second part of the day:

STARTING 42 YEARS AGO TODAY, ALL TV SETS SHIPPED HAD TO RECEIVE BOTH
VHF AND UHF OVER THE AIR: Slept so–so until I gave in and took a
sleeping pill (I think I fuss about it more than my doctor does but
she sees more insomniacs than I do... all the pills labeled "may cause
drowsiness" and I have to have a bit more to push me over the top).
Did some computer stuff in the morning (got my 42 megabytes of weekly
stock market data... and I still scowl while waiting on the DSL). Over
to the Mexican place for lunch (chicken and spinach enchiladas). For
the day so far:
Gray heather T–shirt

On the 54th anniversary of "MR. POTATO HEAD": Up with the alarm clock,
did the usual Monday trash run. Spent the day at work getting stuff
related to our off–site and reading documentation. Came home and had
yesterday's leftover soup while watching the news. Lots of mail in the
best Monday tradition. Spent the evening reading about setting up lilo

day:

ON THE 336th ANNIVERSARY OF THE HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY ROYAL CHARTER:
Got up and off to work. Went to our off–site... the best conference
room in the normal building looks like a slum in comparison. Our admin
put together a call–in to Jason's Deli for those who didn't want to do
the cafeteria... it was good. Came home and got not much in the mail
(TIME and FOOTWEAR NEWS were the main things). For the first part of
the day:

Blue denim chinos
Nike Air Pegasus 2002 iD sneakers (blues/grays)

PART II – BERLIN FELL TODAY DURING WWII: In overload this evening
(it's quarterly earning conference call season). Allis–Chalmers Energy
and TXU both shot up like a rocket on their results.... so I want to
hear what they have to say. Think I'm going to feed myself tonight in
front of the computer and/or TV. I also haven't done a lot of
