It's my birthday...
... so let me tell you a bit about me.
I was inspired to do this from two of my fave blogettes. Check their posts here and here.
1. What kind of SOAP is in your bathtub right now? Bath & Body Mentha Vitamin Wash, and a bar of soap for when my boy is in town.
2. Do you have any watermelon in your refrigerator? NO. This is such a weird question. I almost didn't answer it.
3. What would you change about your living room? I wouldn't change much - it pretty much rocks. If I could, I would make it bigger and paint it some fun color, but I rent an apartment, and there is only so much you can do.
4. Are the dishes in your dishwasher clean or dirty? Dirty
5. What is in your fridge? Milk, Eggs, my boy's beer, Cheese, wine, condiments, Malibu Rum, yogurt, grapes, a Pur water pitcher, pineapple...
6. White or wheat bread? Both. I love bread!
7. What is on top of your refrigerator? nothing.
8. What color or design is on your shower curtain? I love it - it has palm trees and part of it is sheer.
9. How many plants are in your home? None. I don't have time for plants.
10. Is your bed made right now? No.
11. Comet or Soft Scrub? Soft Scrub
12. Is your closet organized? Yes, by pants, dresses, skirts, shirts and sleeve length (but every once in a while I have to do a re-haul)
13. Can you describe your flashlight? It's one of those wind-up ones that you can power with your own strength. I love it. My boy's parents gave it to me for Christmas last year, and it is Black & Gold. Go MU Tigers!
14. Do you drink out of glass or plastic most of the time at home? Plastic mostly, except for when I have some martinis or wine.
15. Do you have iced tea made in a pitcher right now? No.
16. If you have a garage, is it cluttered? A garage? I wish, but I would have to pay an extra $50 a month, and I rather spend that money on clothes and wine.
17. Curtains or blinds? both.
18. How many pillows do you sleep with? Four
19. Do you sleep with any lights on at night? No, but I live in an apartment and the outdoor safety lighting filtrates easily into my apartment. I bought room-darkening curtains, but it is still a problem.
20. How often do you vacuum? When it needs it, but sometimes less than that...
21. Standard toothbrush or electric? standard
22. What color is your toothbrush? orange, white and blue

24. What is in your oven right now? nothing, but i had cookies in there last night!

26. Chore you hate doing the most? mopping
27. What retro items are in your home? My rug has geometric shapes.
28. Do you have a separate room that you use as an office? No, I have a one-bedroom apartment - my laptop is on my desk in my living room.
29. How many mirrors are in your home? 6
30. Do you have any hidden emergency money around your home? No.
31. What color are your walls? They are all cream with white baseboards. It is classier than most apartments, but I still wish I could paint them a fun color.

33. What does your home smell like right now? Strawberry Patch candle from Bath & Body Works.
34. Favorite candle scent? Hmm, I like several but especially soy candles that aren't too overpowering - peach, fresh scents, strawberry, cinnamon.
35. What kind of pickles (if any) are in your refrigerator right now? no pickles.
36. What color is your favorite Bible? it has a sunset picture on the front.
37. Ever been on your roof? No. i am pretty sure the apartment security people would take me down.
38. Do you own a stereo? No, my laptop is my stereo, unless you count my clock radio, and I don't.
39. How many TVs do you have? 1
40. How many house phones? Zero. I am a cell-phone-only gal.
41. Do you have a housekeeper? I wish. That would be amazing. I would make sure it was some hottie guy, and I would make him work without his shirt on and bring wine for me to drink while i ordered him around. Every girl has a fantasy, right?!

How old am I? Well, I am in my 20s, and that is as far as I am going...

Beauty + Fame
Catherine Zeta-Jones: Perfection, dripping with diamonds. I love her!
C. Blanchett: Beautiful - i just love the grey and the effortless look of it all.
Thandie Newton: Of course, she looks gorgeous, but for some reason, that dress makes me think of aliens
(I think it's the dots across the boobs:), and I don't really like the cut of the skirt.

C. Blanchett (again): That color is beautiful on her, and the material looks marvelous. The pencil skirt just makes it work beautifully.
Petra Nemcova: You know, everytime I see her, it makes me a little sad since she lost her boyfriend in the horrible, terrible, sad, sad, sad tsunami not too long ago. I need to have this look. Crisp, white shirt: Check. V. cute black skirt: Check.
Necklace that makes the rocking outfit work: Need., Gorgeous bag: Need.

Emmy Rossum & LeeAnn Rimes: A great black & white combo. I just love LeeAnn's black corset-type dress,
and Emmy always looks somewhat angelic (even when she isn't wearing white). I wish had her gorgeous skin.
Ivanka Trump: I really like this jacket, and I was particularly attracted to this picture because the racehorse.
It was taken at a reception for the Breeder's Cup, and I just love horse racing
(and old money, and sometimes those go together!

Ok, I totally know the 80s stuff made a come back and all, but to me this picture of Mariah Carey
just makes her look ridiculous. But I am never really a Mariah Carey fashion fan.

Much to say about drinking...
Today, I have not been posting about fashion, but I have just found some other fabulous tidbits that I needed to share. Here is a great quote I found on the Houlihan's drink menu while drinking a $3.50 LITER of Long Island Ice Tea. Yes, a whole freaking LITER for only $3.50 from 4 to 7 p.m. It was unbelievable and absolutely delicious. I am still buzzing a bit from it, BUT the great quote is:"The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of the glass." ~ Martin Mull
I used to be more of a runner than I am now, and I tell you what, that quote really, really makes me laugh.
hugs,
gg
I want...
... to let you know that Tom Cruise annoys me. Why?1. He seemed to treat Nicole Kidman like crap.
2. He looks like a guy I dated in college. Bad memories.
3. He then married sweet little Katie Holmes who is young enough to be his daughter.
4. He quickly impregnated her.
5. He named the baby Suri.
6. Vanilla Sky.
7. He looks as if he is finding his next younger generation chick in this picture.
8. The girls are right to be excited. They could be his next one & only in 10 years.

Being in a band you can wear whatever you want - it's like an excuse for halloween everyday.
