Routine Follow-Up

Hello Party People!  

I have not been the best blogger these days.  Suppose I just don't have that much to talk about.  Hence, blogs about farts.  I have stooped that low.  Here are just some random thoughts and happenings:

* My mother is in town.  She's going in for a colonoscopy tomorrow.  Everyone send ood vibes and prayers her way.  It's a pretty routine procedure but she doesn't handle anesthesia that well.  Today, I've been helping her take her meds to clear her out and it made me think - when did I become an adult?  I'm taking care of my mom and not the other way around.  She looked at some of my recent pictures and told me I am starting to age.  And that we should go buy some wrinkle cream.  Fabulous.

* Mr. Ho and I have caught up on all of Entourage.  Now I know why Jeremy Piven won all those awards - he's hilarious.  They smoke a lot of weed on this show.  It kinda makes me want to smoke and do chinese fire drills in the middle of the road.  Or get paranoid at every noise I hear and think the cops are at my door.  And eat an entire pizza by myself.  Not that I have experienced these things... 

* We had our third book club meeting for The Shack.  It's been on the bestseller weeks forever and it is a good read, but I didn't LOVE LOVE it.  Right now, I'm reading Empire Falls.  And What to Expect When You're Expecting.  And no, I'm not expecting.  

* When does Twilight come out on DVD?  Still haven't seen that one.  But did catch a matinee of Confessions of  Shopaholic (loved!).  It was nothing like the book but all the bright colors and sparkly things were right down my alley.  Netflix delivered Body of Lies (ok) and Ghostown (such a fan of Ricky Gervais).  

* Speaking of sparkly things, I went to the International Jewelry Show at the Dulles Expo Center this past weekend and it was amazing.  Sparkly things everywhere you look.  I went there with the mindset that I would only look and not buy ANYTHING.  Of course, I bought the most out of everyone I was with.  Seriously, shopping is a problem for me.

* Rocky is doing quite well on the new food - Orijen 6Fish.  Although, now our pantry smells a bit fishy.  And sometimes his butt smells fishy too.  But the good news is that he loves the food - will eat it plain, without yogurt.  AND his poops are nice and firm!  Dumplings, actually.  

* Best news ever - mom and I found the most PERFECT bedside lamps for the bedroom at Homegoods.  They are so beautiful and match so well.  And the price!  Don't even get me started.

Guess I had more to write about than I thought...
