sherpa with a purse: juli 2006

onion rings and SEX at Wal-Mart

Home at my mom's house for my brother Dan's birthday. He's 20 - I feel old. He's always been my little brother. I remember when he was born! Unfortunately there won't be any birthday cake or ribs - he had to have emergency surgery to get his wisdom teeth removed on his birthday. My mom offered to make him a pudding cup and stick a candle in it. At least he gets to have milkshakes for dinner!

Went to lunch at Heineman's with my mom - the best onion rings and a huge chicken ceasar sandwich. Yum. Then we took a trip up to Wal-Mart for a SEX (that's a "stash-enhancing expidition") and bought a bag full of yarn. Because, ya know, you need to have one skein of every color! And where else can you get 200 yds of yarn for $1.97! I also got some snazzy red and yellow plastic needles (sz. 13) and a brass thimble. (ooohhh! classy! and from Wal-Mart!)

See ya later!

Now THIS is a Sherpa with a Purse - chick lit about a woman who leaves her fancy job in London to go trekking in Nepal. She's after a guy, of course. I couldn't resist the cover, which shows a real sherpa with a purse.

With or Without You by Carole Matthews

I've been reading chick lit lately (semi-trashy novels which generally have pink covers and are about 20-something women working in advertising/PR/journalism, enjoy shopping, and have a hot, unattainable male love interest). I just finished Bridget Jones' Diary and am finishing up Sophie Kinsella's Confessions of a Shopaholic. I can read trashy novels every once in a while. At least these have a bit more depth than the Gossip Girl books. (You know you love me!)
