One Month Later

One month anniversary of not posting. Hooray. It's so, so ridiculously typical of me that I'm just going to blow past that.

Since I keep getting cancelled off all my shifts, I am spending the afternoon baking and watching movies and deleted scenes from the The Office. I just bought Something's Gotta Give (one of my favorite movies of all time, seriously, LOVE Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson) and I have to say that the sequence where Erica (Diane Keaton) just can't stop crying is so deliciously wonderful I have watched it twice. I love it because she is just so over the top dramatic with the crying on the laptop and in bed and especially when he IMs her...if you haven't seen it, and you can handle copious sobbing and Diane Keaton (some people don't like either), you really should. Its fabulous. I'm currently starting the movie over with commentary because my Christmas shopping is done and I haven't summoned up the enthusiasm to start cleaning.

In other news, Jamie Lynn Spears (age 16) is now pregnant and proud, along with Jessica Alba and Lily Allen and a whole lot of other people, famous and not famous, who haven't yet celebrated their 25th birthdays. So the world has officially come to an end while I was busy not blogging this past month.

PS what am I baking?

... and that would account for the more than 2 pounds of butter I have used in the past few days and way I am currently muffin-topping (what a great expression) my skinny jeans. Loooove those holidays.
