Jewelry

Part of the bachelorette revelry is selecting the jewelry for the wedding. Jennifer Boston, who is participating in the Thai portion of Pam's wedding, also designs jewelry. Check out her site -- Jewelry by Jennifer.

Roll Over or Keep on Truckin'

I can't decide how I feel about Mike Huckabee staying in the Republican. I believe it is statistically impossible for him to win the number of delegates to secure the nomination. However, he is still hanging in there, based on his comments to CNN. Part of me admires the fact that he isn't rolling over at the behest of the RNC. The other part is thinking that he's crazy and should quit to leave his dignity intact. We'll see after March 4.

Now, don't freak out. I'm a die-hard Democrat, and this will probably be my only post strictly dedicated to a Republican.

Sunny skies

Here are a few points so far in the big bachelorette weekend in Sonoma.

• San Francisco is beautiful. 
• San Franciscans cannot drive.  The majority of the drivers are incapable of using a turn signal or deciding which they want to turn. The hills don't make it easier. 
• You can't fly out of Chicago O'Hare without changing gates, and most of the time your gate change will not be announced.  
• The house we rented in Glen Ellen is totally retro!  I'll take a few snapshots and post them later. 
• My body did not adjust to the time change.  That's why I'm typing this blog at 6:40 a.m. PST. 

Spring Fever

Woo-hoo! The Cardinals pitchers and catchers reported to Spring Training in Jupiter, Florida yesterday. Spring is here!

Random thoughts

1. Sweet P was auf'd from Project Runway tonight.  She was my favorite designer.  She has a lot of heart and I'm sorry to see her go.  Check out the five runway shows at Fashion Week.  The judges are going to choose between Rami and Chris to go on to the final 3.  My pick is Chris.  Rami is technically proficient but BORING!
2. Senator Obama swept the last eight primaries/caucuses.  I sincerely hope that this nomination doesn't come down to the superdelegates.  If that happens, I am tempted to switch to the Dark Side. 
3. I am halfway packed for this weekend's Sonoma trip.  I just want to get there, be warm, relax, and drink.  

UPDATE: Check out the commentary from the Project Rungay guys on the 5 designer collections. 

Change

If you are a regular visitor, you'll notice that I've changed the blog template AGAIN.  Maybe the third time really is the charm.  Your comments are welcome.

Nothing new

I don't have too much to post today.  I'm trying to fight off the flu bug that is running around EVERYWHERE.  This weekend is Pam's bachelorette party in Sonoma.  I'm really looking forward to relaxing at the wineries and enjoying the 60 degree weather.  I am not going to be sick! Think positive thoughts, eh?

New fun facts

I learned a lot in my 36-hour trip to Minneapolis.  Here are a few items:

1. There isn't much difference between -5 F and -15 F. 
2. The Mall of America is just a really big mall with a roller coaster in the middle of it. 
3. Pannenkoeken tastes a lot like french toast. 
4. The Wii is a highly addictive gaming system, and playing it made my biceps sore. 
5. Chocolate Cherry Diet Dr. Pepper is delicious!

When Hell Freezes Over...

...it might feel like Minneapolis. =) Well, at least the temperature would be the same.  I'm in Minneapolis visiting Pam and Jeff.  The temperature right now is a very brisk -5 degrees.  It seems like a nice place and I definitely want to come back and experience the city in warmer weather.  

Break Time

It's time to take a break from politics.  Let's write about something fun, like Project Runway, or in this case, Project Rungay.  If you are addicted to Project Runway, you must read this blog.  Tom and Lorenzo are a riot and very snarky.  I love it!  For new readers, here are some nicknames you will need to know:

Duchess - Michael Kors

Sissy Bear - Chris

Princess Puffysleeves (my favorite nickname) - Christian

Happy reading!
