Goodness all around

They think they've caught the snipers. I've been following this case way too closely, but even I was surprised at the sense of overweening relief that swept me when I heard the news.

I look damn good today. Hott, even. My makeup looks great and I'm having a kick-ass hair day that makes me love my haircut. Thank you, Natalia and Lancome!!

Reading a really enjoyable (so far) romance novel for review for http://www.likesbooks.com . It amazes me how I can get such enjoyment out of highbrow (snobby, even) periodicals and groundbreaking nonfiction on one hand and total pop-culture junk food on the other. Well, not really. Much like how I have food orgasms at the Melting Pot but still sometimes nothing but McDonald's french fries will do.

My co-workers and I were talking about alumni donations and how they never go where they're supposed to, so I think if/when I can afford to make a donation to Vandy, I'll just go directly through my old friends at McTyeire International House and the English department to make sure it goes to the right place. Oh, and the library.

We won at trivia again last night!! We joined forces with another team (a couple in their sixties) and called ourselves "Together We'll Beat You Twice As Bad."

And best of all, I got inserts for my Skechers so now they don't give me blisters. I am stylin'!!

So, you keep telling us how good you look but we never see pictures or anything like that...

I'm working on some pictures, actually (they're not developed yet, and I'm going to try to have a friend take another one today). I'm probably not "all that," but I think I look better than I have in years, and talking it up makes me feel even better, and as we all know, it's all about attitude. :)

i'm curious about your conversations about alumni donations never going where they're supposed to. i work for the office of annual giving at my university and take alumni pledges, which we designate at our office to any college, major, athletic program, university office, extracurricular activity, scholarship, fund, or any other area the alumni suggest.

According to one of my co-workers, former students that he knows have told him that they've earmarked their donations for his department, but he's never seen a penny of that actually come through. Maybe (hopefully) it's just Emory. Emory is fucked up.

As I always say, prove said hotness with photographic evidence....

I read about the snipers this morning, about an hour and a half after they say it happened on news online. I was hoping they wouldn't change their minds like they had the last time. I have friends that live in the area, and a lot of people I know just happened to be there when a lot of the first shootings happened, so I was quite relieved too!

What kind of haircut did you get? Was it the lesbian haircut or something different?

So what book are you reading? I agree, being ecclectic is a lovely thing!

I heard about trivia last night *grin* Way to go! I wish we had decent trivia around here...

You won again! I think you need to get even cockier, ha, then it becomes a game of not only wit but also emotion. Get 'em running scared!
