Tay is 24!

Today is a veryyyy special day...it's Tay's 24th bday!!! I wish I was celebrating with her in Seattle right now! But Luckily we can party it up in good old Tucson in 8 DAYS!!! Woo Hoo Homecoming!
Tay keeps me laughing constantly (see our gchat convo below from yesterday.) And I don't know how I would get through my days without her silliness/sarcasm/general tayness. Happy birthday beezy!

Le Love

I've come to really love the blog Le Love. The same girl who started it also started Olsens Anonymous. And it's full of great little personal stories and fun images, (like this Andre 3000 quote hehe.) Some of the posts are kinda cheesy but some are also very sweet. And intense. Like the one I'm posting HERE.

I thought this story was pretty crazy and it's probably more common than I realize. If you have a second, give it a read. It definitely puts things in perspective a bit.

What to Wear...

I still don't know what I'm going to wear for Halloween. I'm always a last minute decider so this is nothing unusual, but I'm realizing that I better make up my mind soon before I end up as a 'sportsfan' or a 'hippie' or some other last minute, boring outfit that I've worn in years past.

Tay passed along a great blog called WHAT I WORE that has some fabulous costume ideas. This girl pulls off SUCH a great Edie Beale from Grey Gardens! Brilliant. And I really liked the George Washington one but I don't think I can produce that costume in under a week...

Some other ideas I have floating around:

Zorro- Becca is kindly lending me her costume. And who doesn't want to carry around a sword all night?

Mimi From Rent- Just saw the play last week (for the fifth time) and she's one of my absolute favorites. Plus, it involves a leopard coat.

Moira and I are also considering being tacky tourists, cabaret dancers or Superwoman and Cat Woman. Those could be cute, no?

Anddd if all else fails, maybe I can just pull out my old bug costume from 89!

A Little Jay in Your Day

GG Boggles Our Minds

Okay so why was Monday's Gossip Girl more confusing than an episode of LOST??
We had to pause at least three times in order to try and figure out WHAT was going on. And if WE were perplexed then how are all the thirteen year old fans supposed to understand what's happening??
Are thirteen year olds smarter than my friends and I???
Whatever- anyway, here is the RECAP for ya.

Highlights from the recap:

• Blair: "I am in no mood to hear you fawn over some girl with tacky accessories who likes to recycle." Plus 5, since this is immediately followed by Vanessa's appearing at the parent's dinner in her most ginormous and hideous turquoise necklace yet.

• Why does Gossip Girl still call Dan Lonely Boy? Minus 1, because he is clearly not. Look at him in that last scene, surrounded by friends and family, like it's the Olive Garden or some shit.
