Well, after all I’ve talked about having an elliptical here at the house, it worked all of 3 days and still has yet to be fixed.  The manufacturer said the parts would be here in 2 days and guess what?  It’s been 3 weeks now.  I called last night and they said it was on back order until tomorrow and then would take 3 days to send to us.  Well, guess what I got in the mail today?  Yep, the part.  Now I have a call back into the manufacturer to get a technician out here to install it.  Maybe by the new year I’ll be exercising with the rest of America.

I had two awkward moments today. The first is when I secretly was buying one of those books for Scott for Christmas. Hopefully Scott is not reading this too early. If so, Merry Christmas, babe! Anyway, I managed to get out of the house with my aunt and grandmother while they went to WalMart to get the chicken for lunch today, I disappeared to the bookstore in the mall. I was hoping to be invisible while I was in the store and yet I wasn’t. I quickly went to that section of the bookstore only to find a scruffy looking man reading one of those books. I pressed on though and quickly scanned the shelf for what I was looking for. The guy had to take a step over to let me in and it was just weird. I grabbed what I needed and then found the shortest line I could find and held the book face down in line and barely looked the cashier in the eye when she checked me out. I think my sister was right when she said that should have been an Internet purchase.

The second sort of weird thing was when I was showing my family my modelling comp card and my uncle (by marriage) gets excited and tells me he took the magazine I was on into work (he’s a truck drive) and all the guys made over it and he joked that they took it into the bathroom for awhile. Nice.

Your mom buys you a pair of these slippers and you’re excited about it.  And then you wear them every chance you get.  And then you start thinking they really don’t look too bad with your pants.  And yes, mine are even that blue color.  Yikes.

On my One Tree Hill Blog site, I wrote about one of the new characters played by Joe Manganiello.  I was excited to have found him on myspace and see that he was active.  I got some courage and left a comment after he added me as a friend to tell him we had written a post about him.  And guess what?  He messaged me back.  I was so excited to see the email notice that he had done that and yet what I read has now become Embarrassing Moment #312.  He says (basically)…love the blog and thanks but you spelled my name wrong.  Ugh!!!  Waahhhh!! How embarrassing!

I quickly fixed the error and profusely apologized in a message back to him.  I have yet to get a response.  I am QUITE excited I actually talked to him and didn’t have to cut through red tape to do so but wahhh….I misspelled his name.  You may know how important spelling and grammar is to me and then to screw up with this!  Geesh!

I love this commercial so much that I actually stop the fast forward on my DVR to watch it.  I don’t even really like the song but I can’t ever help dancing with that little kid.  He’s so cute!

Finally.

I bought a dress tonight.  I should have known to head straight for Ann Taylor and call it a night.  I’m happy with this one as I think it reads classy chaperone.  AND I got it more than half off the original price.  I really wanted the shoes that went with it but those were $118.  Any shoes that have three numbers in the price are officially off my list.

I haven’t been able to find anything at Payless in quite some time but picked up some shoes for this dress for SIX dollars AND a matching bag for ten.  Can you believe the bag cost more than the shoes?

So here are the shoes.

I really hope they go well since I didn’t try them on with the dress.  If they don’t go, I’m only out $6 and I have enough black shoes to choose from last minute.

The only thing I need now is a tan!  Now where’s that spray??
