spring in my step

it may be snowing outside, but that's not going to dampen my 

first day of spring happies!

i'm ready for bright colors and open toes, aren't you?

and when i found these lilly espadrilles, 

i just couldn't save them for pink and green thursday.

here's to a hurry-up-and-get-here spring!

what's pink, pink and pink?

as some of you know the pink prep (c'est moi) 

and pink champagne 
work together....

and what happens when the two pink preps

go to the gym together to work out?

they pull the exact same workout wear from their lockers!

we had a good laugh and thought you would too!

(sorry no picture -- no cameras in the locker room! tee-hee!)

shades

i can't go anywhere without my sunglasses

and i just found muffy a matching pair at gymboree!

(we do a lot of like mother, like daughter looks)

will have to post pics soon!

nice guys finish in the top 10

niceness counts

even on reality tv, in hollywood and the music industry

(well, in everything in life, really)

as the top 10 american idol finalists were announced last night, 

the sweet southern boy scotty, 

who has shown so much wisdom and 

always been a true gentleman, 

even publicly apologizing for not being a friend, 

was the first guy elected to stay.

(he had my vote from his first audition!)

and the two guys who were, um, not so nice and all about themselves, 

clint and jordan,

although fabulous singers, were not voted through -- 

not even saved or asked to sing again for the judges for a second chance.

america got it right -- and voted for the nice guy....

and the judges got it right too -- opting for personality and talent 

over drama and big pipes, by leaving the dramatics out 

and putting this sweetie stephano in as a wild card choice.

this season is shaping up to be the best yet!

since i had this past weekend to myself, i planned a little lunch with a good friend at the nordstrom's bistro...and who did we end up sitting next to?

NKOTB jordan knight

looking better than ever

but i have been a fan since the beginning when he looked like this

she had to hold me back from taking a picture or asking for an autograph

(she had already seen me turn into a squealing teen at the george michael concert a few years back!)

then it was off to shop

i found this darling jacket

(this is not me)

at

wow!

then it was time to work...

i worked for hours cleaning and organizing my basement

i think what took so long was reminiscing over every box i found

from college pictures

(more on college days later)

it's a good thing i had the weekend to myself!

(i could use more like it!)
