And here's one...

of my angel Lucy.

And just for fun...

Here are Deb and Sarah together!

Before Ruth gives me more grief...

here's another post.

I LOVE The Office. I saw the first season from Netflix a few months ago and finished Season 2 last night. Tonight's season premiere was hilarious. Even though it's a fairly large cast, I like that you can tell exactly what each person is about even if you only watch one episode.

Critics seem to have panned Jericho, but Skip and I like it a lot.

But best of all so far is Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Oh my gosh it's amazing. It's written by Aaron Sorkin, the same guy who wrote The West Wing.

So the best thing about being home for a while (6 weeks so far) is that it's much easier to stick to my diet and exercise routine. I'm down almost 25 pounds this year so far, it's nice to fit into my old clothes again!

We're supposed to have snow tomorrow or Saturday. Just thought you'd like to know. I think we just skipped right over Fall.

My Mom is coming to visit for a week to coincide with Skippy's birthday (October 1st) so we've been doing a lot of projects around the house to get ready. One thing we have wanted to do is get some pictures for the downstairs living room. Last winter I took some pictures of the house and surrounding area after it snowed. So I fired up iPhoto on my Mac, and sent away for some 16 by 20s from Kodak. I had the pictures in less than 48 hours and they looked amazing. I highly recommend it.

More pictures...

Another project we worked on was to print out a bunch of 4 by 6s and 5 by 7s and frame them. Here's one of Sha Sha that is now in the front hallway...

Who's that girl?

Ok, young woman. It's my friend Deb. Used to be my boss, now she has six bosses, ages 0 to 11 (?).

I know what you are thinking but no, she is not currently working as a professional model. Should she? But of course. Why isn't she? Well if a certain hairy ape I know would stop knocking her up, then she could get back on track! Love ya!

So who is she?

Well that is my good friend Sarah! Very intelligent but sometimes I think she has too much of the funny juice. For instance, this picture is from Skip's 40th Birthday party, but Sarah dressed up as a vampiress! Hmm, I don't know. Good thing she's pretty and funny and smart and a great friend.

Here's what I'm liking...

I love me some Rosie O'Donnell. I hadn't seen more than 15 minutes of The View before this week but I had, however, watched a lot of her old talk show. Well she is just as funny now and brings a great energy to the show. I've gotten a season pass to The View now, love it, love it, love it.

In a new interview in Esquire, Brad Pitt said:

"Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able."

As if I didn't love them enough already.

Jody Watley has a new album, The Makeover. She's always wonderful but this album is great. She does an incredible remake of Diana Ross' Love Hangover. I also like The Makeover Superstar and Beautiful Life.

I really liked having the last two weeks off. I've worked pretty much constantly since February so this was good. But the fun is over. I start a new job tomorrow morning (yes, Saturday) that lasts until mid-October and I already have a previous client that wants me back after that.
