New Things i find FAB

Happy 2010! From time to time I find new and fabulous sites that I think are either hip and creative or are selling something good that I want to touch or taste or try!

so here is my first list!

www.crumbs.com the best cupcakes ever

www.milkandkrunchies.com i so want to taste these

www.kellyraeroberts.blogspot.com her stuff looks super cool and I wish i had creative in my bones!

I'll admit i'm a blogger stalker! I've found a few blogs and I'm just addicted to them, i'm hoping that someone out there feels that way about me!

But before I go, here's a sneak peak of a new top that I ordered!

Can't wait to bring this great looking grecian styled top to you! More to come!

Heading to The OC!

I've been wanting a trip to California, I love LA, and its no secret ultimately i want to move there. I've been lucky enough to go for B.Dazzled several times but with the economy, i've skipped the last 2 years of trips. I'm long overdue!

I'm not lucky, I say that all the time, never win raffles, certainly not lucky in love, at least not yet and usually not in the right spot at the right time. That being said, the stars must have lined up because tomorrow is my birthday and the day after i'm heading out to Newport Beach, California for a conference. I'm not 100% certain what the conference is about, except that is has to do with courts and children and best practices! What I am certain of is, i've got a car, have mapquested directiosn to South Coast Plaza, Sprinkles and Fashion Island. I've found restaurants and even a ferry ride and directions to Laguna Beach!

I've become a blogger addict!

I'm not great at blogging here. Sometimes i'm funny, other times just boring. I think about putting out really juicy stuff, cause I know tons of stuff but then I wonder who will be mad or offended, even without using names. Juicy stuff just finds its way to me. For instance over the last 2 days I pieced together a big secret regarding a secret relationship! And yet, i'm keeping it to myself. So to those of you that always say i have a big mouth, TOUCHE!

So, instead of blogging about stuff, i've become addicted to blogs of others. And random blogs too! It started out with Stephanie Klein, (a shoutout to my friend Allison M in in NY, who got me hooked) and for those of you who aren't hooked its a good place to start www.stephanieklein.blogs.com. But it's mushroomed, i follow legal blogs, jewlery blogs, blogs of artists who i've met at tradeshows, blogs of people i know and friends of friends who blog about love, laugh and too often illness. And all these bloggers give you leads to new bloggers. I'm fascinated by their stories, i tune in every day, just like i tune into the news. I have a morning agenda, Yahoo mail, aol mail, facebook and my blogs!

Dating Fall Television

It used to be that I only had to have a round of first dates with new tv series every fall, but somehow shows come out all year round nowadays. Fall still has the most releases and I make a point of dating each new show of interest at least once. I'm constantly looking in the newspaper in early august for the guide that talks about all the new shows. This fall i've started with The Good Wife, Mercy, Melrose Place, and The Beautiful Life (TBL). Sadly TBL has been cut already, and oddly I found it worth watching.

Another show i've found and am now obsessed with is Sons of Anarchy! Amazingly written show about a biker club in California. Believe it or not, makes me want to maybe meet a biker for a new experience!

when 3 inches is considered huge!

Don't believe people who say size doesn't matter, it does! And in this case 3 inches was HUGE! Friday night baby g, my infamous silver tabby was running around my room like a maniac talking away. Well she'd found something and it was a 3 inch palmetto bug! HUGE! FREAKIN HUGE! Now, at least this cat is smarter than my first cat Lipstick. Lipstick once saw a bug and ran under the bed. This time I got a cat who could find and chase the bug but failed to get it!!!!!! I started to sweat, scooped up the cat and armed myself with scrubbing bubbles and a broom. i have no idea what i thought the scrubbing bubbles would accomplish but I had it. Then I called security, not sure what I thought they would do! So here's how it played out. Security showed up and the nice gentleman looked more scared than me. He couldn't find it, he suggested roach spray, a real genius! What i can't figure out is how that damn bug ended up on the 9th floor of a high rise building. I slept on the couch friday night, better than i'd slept in a week I might add. Saturday included a trip to TARGET for roach traps and roach spray. My room is now booby trapped for that damn palmetto bug, traps in every corner, spray along all the baseboards!

Hopefully i'll be back to sleeping in my bed soon. Because i'm dreaming about bugs, which is not a good thing! I wonder how long the palmetto can last inside. I googled the bug, which turned out to be worse than googling an illness because then i feared that the palmetto was pregnant and laying eggs!

ARGHHHHHHH!

Some days everything doesn't come up roses and daffidols!

It's the Jewish Holidays. Time to start a new, repent, ask for forgiveness and the time to determine who shall be inscribed in the book of life. In the last two weeks I've been directed to the blogs of 2 friends of friends who have recently been diagnosed with and are fighting cancer. It makes me sad, no one deserves to get sick or have bad things happen to them. When I read their stories i am so inspired by the strength they personfiy when faced with the reality of literally fighting for their lives. I have them in my thoughts and prayers, and now on my favorite websites so i can follow their journey and root them on each step of the way! I'm a firm believer in paying it forward and every little bit counts!

So while in Gypsy everything was coming up roses and daffidols, not so much today!

Here's to a sweet new year for everyone I know!
