"spotted." xoxo.

Pi Phi pledge class reunion in Manhattan this weekend...very successful tailgate in even more successful t-shirts. (best ever - who knew heathered eggplant could be such a hit??)
Short Synopsis:
Forgot to wear my engagement ring because the night before it looked very nice and shiny so I didn't sleep with it on because I didn't want to un-shine it. And then we had to wake up at 4:45 in the morning to drive to Manhattan - so I forgot it. Insisted on wearing a glove on my left hand regardless of my body temperature to avoid my own personal gossip girl moment in this world : "spotted. molly mccue without her bling. trouble in paradise, taylor and molly??"( -- in Gossip Girl/Kristen Bell's omniscient voice-over voice)
Chesney told me I looked like Michael Jackson, so I took the glove off. I lived.

Moving On:
Ali Moore brought her beautiful, beautiful dog Franklin to the tailgate. He sat on Taylor's lap for 45 minutes. Taylor decides he would like a dog.
I look up breeders for miniature Australian Shepherds...I fall in love. We talk a lot about it and probably are going to wait...but here's some pics - so you, my dear reader, can fully understand the cuteness we're dealing with:

this is a small real-life sample of females available right now...all in Missouri and Kansas. (p.s. - NOT paying that much for a dog - juust wanted to show you those profiles!)
anyways - this is the debate - and the only reason it's even under consideration before we're married is because Harley, Schoon's perfect angelic dog is living under Taylor's roof and would be a great trainer/example for a puppy to grow up around.
Many pros and cons which need to be weighed, but we are so very tempted. :)
Hmmm....we'll see.

Hilary Duff is ruining Gossip Girl for me! Somebody get her outta there! Thank God Chuck's haircut looks so good.

It's funny, I often recall a very vivid memory of one particular Sociology class, my junior year in high school. We were talking about pop culture - and the recent development and prevalence of these new found "reality tv shows". We were asked to yell out names of such shows and Mr. Johnson wrote them all on the board. And I remember, honest to God, only having heard of two: The Real World, and Survivor. There were maybe 10-20 written on the board by the end of the discussion, including the Bachelor, Big Brother, and some others...and I felt like such a loser for having never heard of them.

I miss that girl.

I mean, what the F is it about the Kardashians, (other than my main man Bruce, obviously) that intrigues me so? Is it the lightning speed at which Kourtney talks? Is it her super suave boyfriend Scott's haircut? Is it Kim and Reggie's fake relationship and their intimate ichats??
Khloe and Lamar Odom's one month courtship and subsequent TV marriage is fascinating, I must say...but were the 100 mile away paparazzi snapshots of the expected 8 bajillion floral arrangements and lavender-clad bridesmaids really worth the $4.00 I spent on a stupid OK! magazine just to sneak a peak of??? The answer is No. And I am so a part of what is wrong with this world.

Hmmm....I'm going to work on this.
