Friday Thoughts

First things first, REESE WITHERSPOON? Whoda thunk? Well, actually, I think I would have had I stopped gawking over her always perfect hair color and outfit coordination. I know she seems sweet as pie, but I think she may actually be a really, really good actress who has turned into quite a spoiled brat.



I've spent this entire week with what seems to be a head cold. It's been really brutal to have only 3 good hours of energy before I just make a crash landing on my couch. I'm hoping I'll start feeling better sooner than later.

What do you think about Gwen being Most Beautiful? Kind of like Reese, I sort of love to hate her. She, too, seems probably really wicked at times, but probably a heck of a lot of fun to share a few drinks with. I think it was a pretty good pick.


I've had a great pair of Dolce and Gabanna sunglasses that I got when I was in Spain, and I'm pretty sure I left them on the airplane. MAJOR fail, but I'm hoping they went to a very appreciative flight attendant. I've never stocked up on sunglasses, so I've literally been without shades since I got back to California on Monday - and in this sunny state, you really can't last long. I bit the bullet on some giant Ray-Bans.


I also found a really great pair of white jeans at Ann Taylor Loft. I've been looking for the perfect skinny, ankle length pant for the last two months, and these are the best I've found - and for only $60 bucks. I'm sure if you wait like two weeks you can snag them for half off, but I was desperate.

 

So, I got a spray tan before I went home for the showers and I ended up loving it. I did a Versa Spa thing and it turned out really well. I really liked the way my skin looked against my wedding dress and in pictures, and I was thinking it was a win all around. But, on Sunday morning, 4 days after getting sprays, I ended up getting hives all over my body. I have super sensitive skin, and often react to lotions and sprays, so I should have figured, but....no spray tan for the wedding.


This weekend Joel is running an Ultra Trail Marathon (32 miles), and no, I don't know what the heck is wrong with him! The three of us are heading to the race at 3:30 tomorrow morning and then it will take him 6 hours-ish to complete the race. I'm bringing mimosa fixings and hoping I find another wife of a crazy person to bond with for the duration ;)

  2. Blind Items for YEARS have pointed at her being a huge biotch outside of the public eye. And you know what? I kind of love her even more. Too much saccharine sweetness can't possibly be the whole story (it's what Hath wants us to think of her, for example) - if Reese can throw down and gets creative with curse words, more power to her.

  5. That stinks about the spray tan. At least you were able to try it out now! Lately I've been using St. Tropez tanning foam. It works pretty well. You should check it out.
