Before I left on my Friday errands, I did manage to watch PROJECT RUNWAY.

I certainly would have reversed the last two finishers. On the runway, the loser's design looked kind of striking. I could understand the criticism of "costumy" but I still liked the way it looked and moved. The other one was TACKY, and we knew the truth about its creation: he didn't have enough material and this was a last resort. Ugh!

Yes...ugh.  Ill-conceived, ill-considered and, worst of all, badly done. 

But then, I think they all probably knew that he had to alter his approach as the challenge went on.  IIRC, Nina wasn't altogether put off by it.

Still....perhaps they both should have gone home.  It would have made more sense than sending off the one they did.

Ginny, do you have a separate closet for all your Vera Bradley things?   ;)

LOL, DR Jeanne!  Not a whole closet, but one end of my closet is all shelves and the top 3 are devoted to Vera, plus some floor space for my luggage pieces.  All in protective plastic, of course!  And I was very good today - only bought 1 item and it was marked down.  There's a very active Facebook group devoted to buying/selling/trading VB - I've bought and traded and am about to try my first sale of some pieces that I don't use.

Am "I" the only one here wondering whether she has anything from the Vera Charles collection?

Thanks for all the stress test vibes.

Those tests are miserable.

First, they inject you with a radioactive fluid, then you have to lay perfectly still, arms raised above your head, for 17 minutes while they takes a picture of your heart.

Next, I had an ECO test, which wasn't bad.

Then, they put me on the tread mill, and after I got off, I thought I WAS having a heart attack.  I had to lay down for 10 minutes.

Finally, they had me lay still, arms raised, for another picture, this one taking only 12 minutes.

In and out the door was 4 hours and 15 minutes.

I won't get the results until next week.

Not a fun morning.

 >:(




I'm sorry it was so difficult.  How long were you on the treadmill, and at what speed?

EXCELLENT TEST RESULT VIBES!!!

I had my first conference call using SKYPE today.  I feel so - well -- five years ago! 
It's so easy and works so well -- I can't believe I never tried it before.



hi Julie.  i'm glad your first experience with skype went well, it doesn't always.  neither do the other services. 


Hi Jane!   I can see how it definitely would be "iffy."
But kind of fun, nonetheless.  Not to mention cheaper than a conference call.

computer: $1200
internet service provider: $50
webcam: $30
microphone: $25
free conference call:  priceless

The printer guy has come and gone. Another printer guy will come next week to show me how to use it. I must say, the photos are much better.

Today I learned that my # 1 favorite actor, Ken Clark, passed away...most of you will know him as "Stew Pot" from SOUTH PACIFIC, but he also starred in ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES, 12 TO THE MOON, and many Italian action flicks.

I'm embarrassed to say, not long.  About 6 minutes, but I'm not in the best of shape.

Greetings from our home!  Richard and I left Louisville at the height of Friday rush hour, but still made it home in time to see Sarah Jessica Parker's genealogical quest on "Who Do You Think You Are?"

Our DS Rob is here for the weekend to finalize his enrollment in paramedic training that starts at the end of the month.

Fox and the CW seem to be taking the night off in terms of new shows, but CBS comes to the rescue with new episodes of MEDIUM, GHOST WHISPERER, and NUMB3RS.

I am looking forward to watching GW and MEDIUM. ANd here we also have the season finale of WHITE COLLAR. I'm curious if and when this show will be returning. I am addicted!
