good morning monday {october 2}

singing

as you might have guessed, i am still singing paul simon.

watching

disc five of oprah's twentieth anniversary DVD collection.

studio 60 on the sunset strip. (it is on tonight. oh yeah. it is on tonight.)

doctor who. (okay, it is really jon’s show. i don’t love it like he does. but i watched it with him all the same.)

reading

pure style living by jane cumberbatch.

the poetry of anna swir.

this beautiful post by pixie.

creating

still creating purses! (not that much farther than i was last week, but i am getting there.)

enjoying

spending half the day in my pajamas watching tv and reading blogs. love sundays.

eating

doughnuts and jam for dessert at The Dahlia Lounge in Seattle. i am still talking about them. it was quite an amazing experience. (i kept quoting Joey from Friends - doughnuts? jam? "I say put your hands together.")

amazing cheese from this italian deli maureen introduced me to when she was here. take a sweet cracker and top with a blue cheese-esque, roquefort, gargonzola blended cheese, a walnut, and a dollop of mango chutney.

scallops and prawns on the grill.

drinking

pumpkin spice soy lattes.

anticipating

the arrival of our new appliances today and the installation tomorrow. (not just the dishwasher but a new stove and microwave. could this BE any more exciting??)

the first episode of battlestar galactica on Friday night. (yes, we like sci-fi in this house.)

thinking

about the time i spent with my dad and his girlfriend when they were here. a nice time had by all.

about the way my husband takes care of me. (thank you sweetie.)

loving

this blog and this blog.

hanky panky underwear. (here’s the scoop. they are one size fits all. they actually have a larger size but i found it to be a bit too big for me. however, how can you not love a company that has sexy underwear for all sizes??!! i have seven pairs now. one for each day of the week you ask? ahh…yes! I have been searching for sexy underwear that fits! and is also comfortable! and can be worn with lower rise pants but still cover my belly! [though I would avoid the super, duper low rise that they have unless you don’t want to cover much. which is okay, but not for me. i am wearing the regular thongs.] yes. it is a thong. but, no, it does not become “floss” and you don’t even notice it is a thong. because it isn’t a typical thong. I can even wear them doing yoga and I don’t notice them at all. they also have boy shorts that I will try soon. if you are thinking “nope, not for me” send me an email [not kidding] because i think you need a pair. just one. just try them. they might change your life a bit. i am trying to bring the sexy into my life [since it seems to have moved states] and this is the first step.)

I meant to write "pumpkin"!

October 2, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterAlexandra S

What a fun post Liz! I wanted to tell you too that I saw your favorite pumpking donut at Starbucks and it took every last bit of willpower to hold me back from getting one. My two biggest plea grabbers were, "But Liz mentioned it on her blog! I have to try it!" followed by "its seasonal! if I don't try it now, I may never have the chance again!" But still, I held back! Now at my new job I pass Winchell's every day and I may have to change routes because donuts are little round cesspools of demonic evil but I still love them! I'm going to look now at those undies and blogs you linked!

i love how everything changes your life - weather it's a profound book of poetry or a sexy thong. you are so fun.

I love my hanky panky's!! They truly are the best, esp. the low-rise cotton thongs.
Studio 60 is on when Weeds is on....such conflict. So far my friend has been taping so I'll heist her tape once Weeds is done.

I love my hanky panky's too!

I bought some in a small store in Woodstock.

They are just as comfortable as you describe.

I loved reading all you are up to-mind body and soul.

i think i need some of those panties. shortly after britt was born i had the not-sexy blues. i saw an episode on oprah about pole dancing/strip tease and i bawled through the whole thing...i kid you not...and then i went out and bought the book but never really could figure out the moves...ah well...

October 3, 2006 | Unregistered Commenterla vie en rose

Ok, you're making me hungry! ;)

I love this list and am going to shamelessly copy you later this week.

Great chatting yesterday, let's do it again soon. Lemme know about the weekend.

(((((HUG)))))))

So glad to have found your blog, Liz.

LOVE the list. LOVED pixie's blog. Gotta go check out the undies now. Sure would like to bring the sexy back to my house.

Also--thanks for your comment on my blog. The Brazilian story was funny to me, but I was afraid I'd offend others. Good to know you laughed.
