My Handbag Love Affair

While perusing the web I came across this fabulous bag: the Anna Corinna Handbags Jet Setter Tote I love it! It's not only beautifully designed but it's practical. I'm a big fan of larger handbags and this would fit nicely into my handbag collection. At $528 its not in my price range but maybe I'll find it on Amazon or eBay for cheap.

Presently I'm carrying around a tote that I picked up at Ann Taylor. Its exactly the one pictued below, and as I am a woman who enjoys the luxury of public tranportation (Eh hem *cough*) I carry so much with me. It fits a quite a lot and is good and and sturdy. It fits the following:

• The lappy w/power cord
• Book (paperback)
• Wallet
• Grocery shopping bag
• Magazine
• Water bottle

So for now I'll add the Foley to my wish list.

Photo of the day

I love photographs and enjoy looking at them and sharing them. I love this photo of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, it's so lovely and speaks volumes even in its silence. I've seen them in interviews together and they seemed to have great chemistry. They seemed to LIKE one another and have a mutual respect that shown bright. I read a quote from an interview he did in AARP.

"... because of "great impatience tempered by patience. When you have been together this long, sometimes you drive each other nuts, but underneath that is some core of affection and respect."

So simple but so lovely...I hope to experience that one day.

I'm Lovin' This

Look at him...I love this man.

One of my favorite actors and crushes (I have many) is Josh Charles. You may remember him in the movies Dead Poets Society and Threesome. He is currently co-starring in the new CBS drama The Good Wife. Its star is Julianna Margulies of ER fame about a politicians wife who is publicly humiliated by her cheating husband played by Mr. Big himself Christopher Noth. A timely subject no? I'm really loving this show and not just for Mr. Charles. It is well written and well acting with a fantastic cast. I don't have a long list of favorite t.v. shows, but this show is part of my must see t.v. Christine Baranski also stars.

Joshua does a cool interview with O magazine online.

Paul Pierce took care of business helped the Celtics beat the Cavs.

This Foley + Corinna Jet Setter tote is on my wish list.

As is this lovely little trinket.

I'm madly in love with Spike Jones' masterpiece Where the Wild Things Are.

Have a great day.

Hit the Ground Running

Like I mentioned a couple of weeks back I no longer have a full time gig. Thankfully I have a part time job at a retail store so that I can at least eat. I need a full time gig asap or I will have to move out of my adorable apartment. My little sister works for a prominent university in the city and met up so that I could get some face time with someone in human resources. While at the office we were able to have an impromptu meeting with someone there. We spoke about the job situation at the university and the possibilities that there were on campus. I actually worked with her about 7 years ago in Human Resourses at university (that's how the little sister got her gig) so hopefully that familiarity works in my favor.

Anyway. Now that we are in the throws of the football season and the NBA season starts tomorrow. To say that I am happy about the time of the year is an understatement. I really believe that this time of year is a God's gift to sports fans. As a New Englander we can have brutal winters and sports is one of my great comforts. I'm hoping to get a few friends together and take in Celtics game this season at the "new" Garden.

The first game is tonight in Cleveland where the Cavaliers have won 11 straight home games against the Celts. That was a surprising stat and I'm hoping that Boston can end that streak tonight with an opening season win. Unfortunately Boston will also be without Glen "Big Baby" Davis for the season due to a broken thumb. Apparently Big got into a scuffle with a college teammate a few days before the SEASON! He may also be facing a suspension from the front office because of the incident. Obviously there's more to this than what they are sharing. I just hope the line up change doesn't mess with the Celtics season too much. Fingers crossed.

Another Day

Hello lovelies, I read this quote and thought that it was brilliant. Have a wonderful day.

Keep Your Feet on the Ground...

My temporary job assignment ended and I am now without a full time work. Thankfully I do have a part time job where I can pick up some hours so I will not go hungry. Though it's very unsettling I believe that it will all turn out well (prayers to God, fingers crossed). I told one of my girlfriends about the job ending and she asked "Isn't that the job you had to travel an hour to get to?" I say yes, she says "Praise God, don't sweat that." It immediately helped me feel better! While I didn't hate the job it was wrecking me. I would wake up at 5:15 in the morning to get to my job for 7:30 and I deal with quite possibly one of the worst managers in all of the United States of America.

While working there i was sick at least three times, the last time I fairly certain it was the H1N1 virus. Seriously. My hope and prayer is that I will not continue to toil in miserable temporary jobs. But I know I'll have to do it for a little while longer to get where I want to. Like Casey Kasem says..."Keep Your Feet on the Ground, And Keep Reaching for the Stars."
