Quick x2: Week of 1/26-2/1

*Slow and lazy. That’s me. Went to the gym once all week. Napped through the rest of the week (or as Perez Hilton says, “weak”).

*I traveled for work, which was nice. I got to stay in a beautiful historic hotel in Ashland—www.ashlandsprings.com. Totally charming, small room facing the mountains. A-freakin-dorable! Too bad the sidewalks roll up at 5pm, I couldn’t get to visit any of the equally adorable shops in town. At least I wasn’t tempted to shop!

*I’m reading another Anne Lamott book—she’s so good and funny and touching. If you haven’t read any of her books and consider yourself a Christian, you must check her out. Her thoughts on faith are so approachable and realistic. Not holier-than-thou in the LEAST. Very real. If you don't consider yourself a Christian, reading her might convince you that not all Christians and preachy and self-righteous.

*I’m so dang forgetful. Is it me or is it early Alzheimers??? I made it to the airport for my trip to Ashland to find I’d left all my very important stuff at home. I had to rebuy toiletries; find a decent book (the Anne Lamott); run without my ipod (truly unholy), and read my new book without my reading glasses (thankfully the wine I had at dinner eased the eye strain). Once I got home I missed the parking shelter because I was busy checking status updates on FB—ok, not Alzheimer’s fault, but still silly. Felt like an ass when the parking patrol guy came up and asked if I needed anything. He probably saw me shuffling around with my bag for ½ hour and thought to investigate.

*OMG. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Battlestar Galactica! It sounds incredibly nerd, but it’s actually really, really good. Between BSG and Friday Night Lights, my Friday evenings are full of quality. For REALS!!! Pathetic.

*Shopping at costco feels so decadent. No, one really doesn’t need 40 lbs of chicken salad, but boy-howdy it’s only $12. How can I resist?? Brilliant!

*Saw “Slumdog Millionaire”. Holy crap. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen something so movingly, aching, painfully beautiful. I gasped, felt my stomach lurch, cried, laughed, and wanted to take home everyone in this movie. No words can sum up how much I loved this movie. Can’t wait to see it again. Beautiful. In another life I’d like to come back as Frieda Pinto—stunning.

Happy birthday Sara (again, and late)! :))
