Current Obsessions

Fortunately, I've been very busy at work writing press releases galore and studying the Chambers US Law Dictionary and the AP StyleGuide. (I know, I know, this doesn't sound like much fun, but I'm learning so much ... and everyone knows I'm actually cheesy enough that I love learning about new things, even law dictionaries.) This is *fortunate* for me so I can take my mind off other, (uh, hum) personal, messy and complicated matters.

I found that I am still occupying my time with my preferred fixations. I have no idea why these things are so prevalent right now, they just are. (Umm, if there's something out there--- please give me a sign before I jump out the window. And if you see fit, more guidance than my current sign of a choice ... a mojito. Thanks.)

A bit of humor in the dark: Current Obsessions

1. Pistachio: the nut, the color & Jell-O pudding.
2. Anyone who calls me Dazzle Pants. Swoon.
3. Chelsea Lately. (All I can say is, "Hi Vodka, are you there? It's me, Chelsea.") Honey, I feel you. My book is titled, "Hi Self-Destruction, are you there? It's me, Ash."
4. Spending obscene amounts of time Googling Travis. I've found out he bought a house in Tualatin. All I can ask is, "Yikes. Why???"
5. My new patent yellow bag.
6. Beef Pho. I'm going to whip up Stephanie's crock pot version that she made last week and I've been dying to try!)
7. Keeping Up With The Kardashians. (Does anyone see a theme here? A cocktail habit + too much E! channel = bad news.)
8. Shopping and cooking. (Yes, I'm going to post dinner pictures again. What has this blog come too? A cooking blog! What? No!)
9. Death Cab for Cutie. (My sister bought us tickets for their upcoming concert at Edgefield and I can't get enough lately.)
10. Peonies & Gladiolas
11. Crying jags. Not depression crying jags. Believe me people, there's a good reason. Like everyone says, "It just takes time." I'll be fine. (But I'm seriously annoying Nordy with my choked up messages requesting a shoulder to cry on.)
12. The Sex and the City movie and the soundtrack. I love it. It has become the soundtrack of my week.
13. Not reading. I can't wrap my mind anything that isn't music ... or apparently the E! channel. (If I start watching Denise Richards, It's Complicated, please someone help. I mean it.)
