So Many Things
Wow - for some reason I have so many things that I want to blog about today. Actually, I think I will break the blog into two separate entries - one just going through some interesting events of the weekend and the other focusing on a really great talk I had with the boyfriend on Friday and the preliminary results of such.
First, the little things.....
The New Kid on the Block
So, we have another new Supreme Court nominee..... I got into my car this morning at the ungodly hour of 5:15 AM (the Monday drive back to Orange County from LA) and flipped on NPR. They were talking about the nomination, which had just been announced. Somewhere in the commentary they noted that Harriet Miers was a workaholic, never married and never had children. In fact they noted that she routinely showed up for work at the White House at 5 AM and left after 10 PM. I thought to myself "sounds like a winner." Of course, when I got home I immediately logged in to see what she looked like. Yikes! Someone call Extreme Makeover....
Hottie Sighting
Last night my boyfriend and I went out for a little Pho at one of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants. After a great meal we went to Borders as there was a book I wanted to pick up (more on the book next). So, we are browsing the titles and in walks Rick Fox (the former NBA basketball player) in total running gear with his iPod earbuds in. He was sweaty as can be and HOT!!!! We were in Westwood and I am guessing he must have a place in Bel Air or Holmby Hills - somewhere within running distance. Whatever the case, he was literally 5 feet away from me and I enjoyed every minute of it.
The Book
In addition to staring at Rick Fox's incredible physique, I did purchase a book - The Lady And The Panda by Vicki Constantine Croke. This is a true story of a Manhattan Socialite in the 1930's who's adventurer husband dies on a expedition to secure a live panda from China to bring back to the US (something that had never been done before). She picks up where he leaves off and eventually does bring home the prize. This book has all the elements I love - one of my favorite eras, adventure, China, etc. From what I can gather there is even a love affair with the dashing young Chinese guide (and the picture of him in the book proves that he is, indeed, dashingly handsome). I could hardly put it down last night and even picked it up this morning once I got in from the drive. Hopefully, it continues to captivate me.
Ok, going to focus on some work right now.......
