Depressed?

Hello lovelies, I recently read a story about a young Canadian woman who has lost her benefits because her insurance agent found photos of her on facebook where she appeared to be happy. The woman, Nathalie Blanchard has been on long-term sick leave from her job at IBM for the last year and recieving benefits from Manulife insurance. When she called to see why her payments had stopped, and was informed by her insurance agent that the Facebook photos were evidence that Blanchard was no longer depressed.   She tells the CBC that her doctors told her to try to have fun to forget her worries.

 

Now I have a Facebook page and I don't know about some people, but my page is private and you have to put in a request for friendship to even see my page. Did the agent ask to be friends with her and she allowed? Did they get to her through one of her friends? Does she have an open page that anyone can see? If its the latter then that was just foolishness on her part. You've gotta keep things like that private, and even that doesn't keep the weirdos and creepers away. But at least you have some sort of control. 

I feel for this woman, if she really is suffering from depression in such a way that keeps her from working then this a great blow to her recovery.

Football Sunday

The Patriots play the Jets in a late afternoon game at Foxboro. Enough said.

Update: They beat the Jets 34-14.

Next: The undefeated N.O. Saints in the Super dome. It won't be easy, but its my hope that they can hand them their first lost. Have a great week lovelies!

Fashion Forward

While running some errands after work I stopped at a CVS and noticed a girl with a great handbag. I couldn't tell what designer or brand it was but I liked the style and size. Actually her entire outfit was quite fashionable. I wasn't able to get a photo from head to toe but her shoes were cute too.  She's wearing a plum velvet blazer, gray sweater, skinny jeans and black flats. Classic yet fashionable.

Discouraged but Determined

I've been looking for a job for sometime now, I have not been successful in my search. I trying to keep my chin up and stay positive, and for the most part I feel positive. I just get so frustrated! Especially in this state, it seems that if you don't know someone you have no chance of even getting an interview. All I want is find a good job and do good work.

I'm Lovin it!

Hello lovelies! As you will learn one of my favorite things is a fabulous pair of shoes. And I really love this Christian Louboutin Miss Boxe wedge. I first saw them Nicole Richie I've had a longing for these lovelies. These are oldies but goodies, as these bad boys are no longer available anywhere except eBay or other auction sites. Which probably bodes well for me because the original price on these bad boys is over $600 the cheapest I found them was for around $500 but they are no longer in stock. My fear with ordering shoes on line is comfort. As I get older I look for comfort as well as style. Alas this may be added to my wish list.

Home Decor

My home decor is in serious need of an over hall. I certainly have an idea in my mind brain, but I've been searching the internet and flipping through magazines for ideas and inspiration. I'm really digging the look of Rashida Jones Los Angeles home. Rashida has great style, and with the help of her friend designer Katie Fine they put together a wonderful space. I love the substantial pieces, especially the ottoman. Enjoy the loveliness.

 

 

 

Inappropriate Crushes

What's good this dreary Saturday? The forecast calls for a rain ALL day, so I'll will remain indoors and will continue my home cleaning and organization. I will also be watching a couple of college football games and eating Chinese take out. Don't be jealous darlings.

I'm particularly interested in the Florida Gator and S Carolina Gamecocks game in the late afternoon. While Tim Tebow is the superstar of the Gators, my favorite boy is Riley Cooper the Gators receiver. He is my inappropriate crush. Inappropriate because he is only 22 and I am over 22.Sunday morning I will be at a mandatory (paid) work meeting. Kinda stinks as I will be missing Sunday service. Its a three hour meeting, hopefully there will be provisions.

The Patriots will be in Indianapolis this weekend to play those undefeated Colts. I really dislike the Colts, as much as I adore and admire their former coach Dungy I loathe this team. To be fair, I loathe all teams and wish them all misfortune. Its not reasonable or rational but its how I've always been. Last season a game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cincinnati Bengals resulted in a tie of 13-13. If every NFL game ended in that manner it would warm the cockles of my heart.

Anywhoo. The Patriots game is a Sundaynighter on NBC, so I'll be bracing myself through Keith Oberman and Dan Patricks tag team ramblings. And I actually like them both, but they are a little too cute on the Sunday Night pre-game. Not fun to watch, almost uncomfortable actually.
