Ruthie's Request

Ruthie would like it to be known that there's a girl who sits in my aisle (yes, the same one who was unable to remove her Christmas cards in a timely fashion) who has decided to announce to the world on her cubicle white board that "It's a Girl!" This announcement was followed by a name (which I'm withholding to protect the innocent fetus) and a make-believe futuristic BIRTH date (August 1st). Um, hi. First of all, I had no idea she was even preggers and have come to suspect she wrote this just to deflect the rumors that she'd gained weight. Second of all, it's March. The "birth" date is at least five months away, so I'm thinking it *might* be a wee bit early for this sort of announcement. I mean, sure, once you pop that kid out, by all means write on a white board and tell the world. But when you're only a few months along? Honey, no. Finally, who does that? I mean, really. I've never even seen her talk to a single soul, so perhaps she's just lacking social skills (well, obviously). Maybe I'm being too hard on her? Oh, who am I kidding? I'm going to have to look at that stupid white board for the next five months and I'm already filled with rage about it. Will she update the date when/if it finally happens? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Finally Friday

Man, this felt like a long week. I thought the weekend would never get here. Now that it is....it's crunch time! Yep, my place is still a freaking mess. Luckily I've got a few hours between the time I get off and when my gay husband arrives tonight. Hooray - that should be plenty of time to get the Pink Palace in shape. Obviously, I woke up today....it's possible I *may* have overreacted (who, me?) to my head bump. Hmmmph. Oh, and it's my sad duty to report that my beloved pet, Sweet Pea, has gone to the big fish bowl in the sky. R.I.P. Sweet Pea. She was a good fish and will be missed.

Pinky's Fandance, Friday Edition

We all know I'm not really a fan of American Idol. Couldn't really care less about it one way or the other. However, I do enjoy David Archuleta (having been subjected to it endlessly by my Dad - otherwise known as David's #1 fan - just kidding, Dad) and was excited to hear he was in town today. Imagine my surprise to come across him on Temple Square. Now, I'm not going to lie - the boy may be adorable and cute as a button, but he's as awkward as they come. When I asked him for a picture, he looked around as though someone had to give him permission (but then I just took control and pushed the camera in front of us like the mean pink bully that I am). Bless his little heart. At least he can sing. :)

Head Case

So, I bumped my head tonight. It's probably no big deal, but after hearing so much about the deaths of both Natasha Richardson (who hit her head on the snow) and Jett Travolta (who hit his head on the bathtub), now I'm completely paranoid. I've been icing the bump and hoping for the best, but what if I fall asleep and never wake up? My neighbors would have to smell my rotting corpse in a few days (not to mention Michael having to wait at the airport forever because I'm otherwise unavailable to entertain him this weekend). I know, I know. I've probably watched too many episodes of Grey's Anatomy and all the head injuries. Stupid TV.

Celebrity Wrap Up - Friday Edition

Good morning and welcome to today's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.Um, did Sharon Osborne buy her outfit from MC Hammer's castoffs? What happened to her feet? Where did they go? It's like she's a stump.Oh, McDreamy. You look so hot and tired. Would you like to use my shower? I'd be *more* than happy to help wash your back. :)Hiba, apparently Kathy Griffin is honing in on your girl, Paris. Even classier? Look at the purse - it's got a picture of Paris on it! First Zac wore Kanye and now Kathy's wearing Paris? What is this world coming to?While I realize Nicolas Cage is on-set and in costume, I still think he's purposely trying to break my heart. Is Scarlett Johansson trying to morph into Dita Von Teese? What's with the dark hair, pale skin, and corset dress? Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty dress, but who is that strange girl in there?

Fave iPhone Backgrounds of the Day

Magnets Make Me Happy

Yesterday I received a fun surprise in the mail from my BFF's mom (who's also a good friend of mine). Speaking of my BFF, it's been almost a year since he went MIA - should I start calling him my ex-BFF? Anyway, how stinking cute is this magnet? I know the small print is hard to read, but it says, "It's not like he was using it." Could anything be more perfect?!? Love it! :)

Pinky's Fandance, Thursday Edition

I'm not really sure why I look like a drunken sailor in this picture, but I love the fact that I finally got a picture with Stanley Tucci. He was such a cool guy. I saw him sitting in the audience and went to ask if he'd take a picture with me. He gladly jumped out of his seat and came over to me. I love that! I'd actually been right in front of him like five years ago (but, as we've covered, I was a big chicken and hadn't honed my picture-getting skills yet). So, I have a picture of him, but not with him. Well, until now, that is. Hooray! :)

Procrastination? Thy Name is Pinky

From a very young age, I've been a procrastinator. It always seemed like no matter how long a teacher gave me to do a project or report, I'd be in a mad panic the night before - completely high on the rush of the deadline. This might surprise you, but I'm quite productive when I want to be! So, why can't I drudge up that "get up and go" and get things done early? Why must I wait until crunch time? This week I've told myself I'd totally clean my apartment - figuring that if I did a little bit each day by the time Michael comes on Friday it'd be all done. Well, guess what? Still nothing done (well, except for the clothes pile, which was HUGE). As I have bowling tomorrow, I'm thinking I'll be in a mad dash on Friday afternoon an hour before he arrives. Yep, that totally sounds like me.

Celebrity Wrap Up - Thursday Edition

Hello and welcome to today's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.SJP, I know we've discussed your hair (and lack of brushing) before (many, many times), but really??!!?!? Are you just trying to mess with me now? I kinda think you're just trying to mess with me. USE THE BRUSH I sent you!!! Do you need directions? Simon Baker, why are you taking hair advice from SJP? Did Eva do that to your hair? You're a very attractive man - why do you torture me so?If you look closely at Reese Witherspoon's jacket (is it a jacket? Or is it a dress?) you'll see that she's buried in a sea of ruffles. Bless her heart. She also seems to have forgotten her pants (darn you, Lindsay Lohan!).Does Jessica Alba shop for her dresses at Pic-n-Save or the dollar store? What else would account for such a horrid dress? Oh, good. Apparently Matthew Mc Con-a-hottie DOES own a pair of shoes. Good to know - especially since he's carrying that skateboard yet again (is he aware of his age? Just wondering).
