Wednesday's List

(1) Have you looked at Southern Living for July? The recipes in this one edition are to die for...Grilled Shrimp Gumbo Salad, Okra-and-Corn Maque Choux, several kinds of Margaritas, several versions of Chicken Salad and several kinds of ice cream including Peach and Toasted Pecan! Lord help me!

(2) I. AM. IN. PAIN. Now that the splint is off and I'm using my hand, it HURTS. I was warned it might ache, but this is seriously the worst pain I've been in yet!

(3) Yesterday I was talking to my friend Suz on the phone. Her little guy, Bennett, who just turned 4, wanted to talk to me on the phone. He's my bud. Anyway, he asked how my "thumb" was and I told him it was better (no need to scare the kid with the litany of adjectives I could have used to describe it), and then he said "Next time you use a knife to cut something, you should be very, very careful". I thanked him and told him that was very good advise. Seriously, how cute is that?

(4) I sold my old fairy godmother yesterday for only $50 less than what I paid for my new one!

(5) AT&T may be sending me another new phone. Seriously. I never got the e-mail like everyone else saying that mine shipped, though clearly it did, because I have it. Then today, I got an e-mail saying that they were sorry for the delay, but due to the popularity of the new iphone, people were having to wait, and they'd notify me when my phone shipped.

(6) I just remembered to decorate for the 4th yesterday! Then if that wasn't bad enough, I thought I owned decorations that I apparently don't have (guess I had seen them somewhere but didn't buy them) and forgot about some that I do have (I had to look at photos from last year to remember them). I'm totally losing it! I'll post pics tomorrow...

It's SATC Saturday Again

First, I will start you off with a little movie... Sex and the City- All the Best Moments from the Movie. WARNING : If you haven't seen the movie, don't watch this.  Oh, and also please rectify this ASAP.  Ann-  they have the movie at your local TJ Maxx for $5.99.  I meant to buy it for you when I was there and bring it to you at Robin's party, but I got distracted by lamps and forgot (sorry!).  This week has been pretty lame-o on the updates front. All I have found is that there are reports of some drama on the set between Kim Cattrall and SJP.  Of course there have been reports in the past that these two gals didn't get along (personally I think it is just because KC is a little too big for her britches and doesn't seem to always remember that SJP is an executive producer and Carrie is, well the star ).  There are also reports that SJP is possibly a little overwhelmed with having the two new twin girls and little James Wilkie to take care of...
