I’m AMAZED that my fantasy of going away by myself for a few days isn’t unusual or, like, a sign that I’m in a total state of CRISIS. Thank you for letting me know this in yesterday’s comments. Seriously.
I suppose it IS a “normal” fantasy, though. ‘Cuz it’s kind of like an extended meditation. I need to meditate…sit in silence and decompress. Ohhhhmmmmm…. Hey! I could go on a yoga retreat for a few days on some exotic island.
Oh. My. Garsh. Can you imagine!? Maybe I should look into something like that…? Wait, no. Could get creepy. I need alone. And, beach chair. And, vast ocean.
Tuggy says I should start planning whatever vacay I choose now, and that the planning alone will get me excited and, BY EXTENSION, lift me out of my funk…. Hmmm….
Redneck Mommy had an AWESOME idea, too: “swishy new hair cut.” I need to get me a SWISHY NEW HAIR CUT, PRONTO!
I made an appointment for Friday, 10:30am (for all you STALKERS out there). This time, though, I’m going to be a ROCKET SCIENTIST and go to my sister’s hairdresser, i.e., not JOSH-O’s hairdresser like last time…..
I had a better day today…. I got out. Took the little monkeys on a big long walk. I felt great, and they, ummm….
Sleeping bunnies….
It was AWWWWESOME.
For this week’s Thursday Thirteen, I thought I’d glam things up around here…. We are WAY overdue. Don’t ask me how I arrived at this idea. It really has nothing to do with me or my life right now — except that I’m in love with fashion and zee celebs…. So, let’s just cut to the chase, shall we? THIRTEEN CELEB FASHION-AD MODELS. CHECK IT!
1. SCARLETT JOHANSSON for Louis Vuitton (girl crusshhh….)
2. ANGELINA JOLIE for St. John (classay….)
3. RINKO KIKUCHI for Chanel (mysterioso….)
4. PATRICK DEMPSEY for Versace (come to mama….)
5. MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL for Agent Provocateur (gorjmama….)
6. HAYDEN PANETTIERE for Dooney & Bourke (it’s the “Hayden Bag”….)
7. TERI HATCHER for Badgley Mischka (sex eyes….)
8. SIENNA MILLER for Tod’s (beige….)
9. LINDSAY LOHAN for Jill Stuart (whatevs….)
10. HEIDI KLUM for Jordache (nipples?….)
11. VICTORIA BECKHAM for Marc Jacobs (bag….)
12. DREW BARRYMORE for Gucci fine jewelry (boredom….)
13. CLIVE OWEN for Lancome (BEST FOR LAST BEST FOR LAST….mmmmmmm! BACKOFF GORGEOUSES, HE’S MINE!)

I think the best picture was of the sleeping bunnies! hee hee, but I am partial to bunnies.
And you’re right…wanting to get away is totally normal. Planning your trip might be helpful.
Shoshana said, January 17th, 2008 at 1:58 am
I agree with Clive Owen, and why is Beckam eaten by a bag? Is that supposed to be sexy?

Would you mind of I don’t backoff? ;D

Sorry about the post-partum blues. Glad you’re feeling a little better. I suggest a pedicure for a mini-vacation. Ahhh…rub my feet!
Fun Thursday Thirteen. I liked Posh in a bag.
goofball said, January 17th, 2008 at 6:18 am
hmm I love all the pictures except for Posh in a bag actually. that’s just a weird campaign no?
ewe_are_here said, January 17th, 2008 at 6:22 am
Great 13!
Clive Owen, yum. Normally I love Dempsey, but have to admit I’m not too keen on that leather jacket on him.
Rebecca said, January 17th, 2008 at 6:37 am
The Maggie Gyllenhaal ad campaign was the single worst advertising campaign idea I’ve ever seen – she’s just not sexy like that. It’s like seeing my grade three teacher in her underpants.
I’m sorry for the sadness – January is HARD. You’re stuck in the house, all the days are kind of grimly the same – but it really won’t last forever.

Do you know the little song, “See the Sleeping Bunnies”? That’s what song popped into my head when I saw your photo. I love that song, I used to sing if for my Kindergarten kids.
Funny, the hubby and I just talked about me going away for a night or two last night. I entertained the idea over a year ago and it never happened. I have never spent a night away from the bunny before.
Nikki said, January 17th, 2008 at 7:41 am
Love the pics of your sleeping bunnies
I must admit I found the Maggie Gyllenhaal and Posh ads to be quite disturbing :/
CLive’s ad is by far the best, but you don’t have to worry bout me busting a move on him, I am quite partial to another man

I loved the sleeping bunnies
Too cute. And, good plan about taking them for a walk.
That Maggie ad kind of freaked me out. I don’t think of her as sexy at ALL. Angelina for sure.
Hang in there, and I’m soooo up for a vacation as well. Seriously.

I might have forgot to comment yesterday…I have been thinking of going away for one night for awhile and Hubby is the one driving it. He thinks it would be good for me. It sounds so selfish and decadent, but you know it is probably the best thing a person can do for themselves. I bet I would come back a lot calmer.
Glad it was a better day, I love walks that result in naps!

HUM…Clive Owen…

Maggie Gyllenhaal? Not sexy. Weird and creepy but not sexy!

love hayden and her bag. she’s my favorite of your 13

Fashion photography always looks so ridiculous. Happy TT.
Redneck Mommy said, January 17th, 2008 at 11:26 am
I love that Heidi has no nipples. Makes me feel less freakish for having that third one in the middle of my chest…
Was that an overshare? LOL.
Susan Helene Gottfried said, January 17th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Please ask Victoria to sit up.
And you ain’t taking that vacation alone, woman. I’m coming, too. I won’t be offended if we don’t talk, but why sit alone at meals if we don’t have to?
ali said, January 17th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
glad your feeling better!
LoriD said, January 17th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
I was just reading (watching?? who knows?) something about how all the “good” modelling jobs are going to actors now. Man, I hope Teri Hatcher is airbrushed. Isn’t she in her early 40′s?
Maribeth said, January 17th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
You always have the best TT. I love Drew Barrymore and the ad for Marc Jacob is awesome

I actually just told my hubby the other day that I wanted to go on vacation. He started getting all excited until I said, “No, I meant ALONE.” Man, I can be so mean!
I love, Love, LOVE your Thursday 13 today. Number 1 is the best by far! I don’t even really like her, but she looks amazing! Such an old school beauty.

Oh! I feel so hip! I have that Hypnose perfume. Well, I have it because I thought I had picked my sister’s name for Christmas and bought it for her only to find out that I had my Mom’s name. So it was another present for me!!!!

I love your sleepy bunnies! Mine would never to sleep in the stroller. I took Amelia out yesterday too, first time she ran with us and she cried the whole way back (half an hour). Very sad!! AND she will NOT be coming again! The dog did great though lol.
Glad just thinking about going away helped. I think you should actually plan it too! I went when #3 was 8 months and it was great!
Oh and I am not a ScarJo fan. I don’t get it really but I lurve me some Clive – yummy!
shay’s last blog post..just a hypothetical question….
Cyndi said, January 17th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Why are Teri Hatchers legs a different color than the rest of her body?
I would like a vacation, too. A beach would be my first choice, but really anywhere quiet would do the trick.
Nicholas said, January 17th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
I think Heidi Klum’s nipples were airbrushed out for the benefit (?) of North American readers. In Europe they wouldn’t bother. Speaking as a male, I think V Beckham has all the sex appeal of leftovers. And Clive Owen does nothing for me, but I’m not sure that my wife would say the same!

ITA, planning the vacay is more than half the fun. I am having TOTAL fun planning my trip to London in April. I have to shake myself to actually BELIEVE that I am going – alone – to London for a whole week. Glee!
Also, doesn’t Clive’s nose look weird in that last shot? Or is it just that I’ve been staring too long, like if you write one word too many times you’re like, is that REALLY how you spell jewelery/jewelry/jewellery?
