polls and lots of rambling

I've had so many things in my head to write about lately but didn't want to bombard everyone. Now I feel spent without even writing anything.

So a little wedding prep update...I ended up going with the blouse/skirt combo. I would like to point out that even though I have several black skirts, none of them seem right with this shirt. I'm going to buy just a simple pencil skirt. I figure I can wear that forever and am surprised I don't own one already. It's funny. I don't think I'm superficial by any means but I do love fashion. My current guilty pleasure is Project Runway. It makes me want to design and make clothes. I think, however, that if I made my own clothes it would look like I made my own clothes.

Changing topics... So the post regarding the last poll has moved to the next page. This means it's time for a new poll. But first, here are the results of the past two.

Favorite Irresponsible Car
Saturn Sky 50%
Pontiac Solstice 14%
Mitsubishi Spyder 36%

Truth is on this one that I'll most likely get none of them. What with being a single person with only one income and no sugar daddy, I can't have everything I want (even if it is somewhat within reason). It all comes down to the fact that I want a house more than I want a hot car.

Least Favorite Industry
oil 27%
tobacco 64%
pharmaceuticals 9%

Thanks for making me feel better on that one. And the person who voted for pharma, you got me right here. Ouch.

Now a new poll... I'm having a hard time coming up with a new topic. How about tv? What show do you absolutely love that you can't wait to see again? There's the list over there. If there's something else I didn't include, feel free to comment. Even though there were only about 4 episodes of it last year, I'm really looking forward to What About Brian. Because I thought I'd be the only one, I didn't include it. Of course, Grey's Anatomy is my #1 pick. Hmmm, maybe I just love shows with hot guys. If you take that clip and add George, Alex, and Denny; remove the chief; and insert "Candice" for "Miranda" you have just gotten into my head a little bit... It's nice in here.

Hooray! I'm your official first vote on this one! I voted for Lost - I'm totally hooked. Also looking forward to DH tho, AND CSI (The Original).

Other shows I love (in case anyone cares): Boston Legal, Amazing Race, Survivor, and E.R. (altho that last one is losing me a bit). Some of the new shows look interesting, too. Oh, and I'm loving Treasure Hunters right now! Very good show. It ends this week.

And the Astros won tonight - YAY!

GREYS ANATOMY, Baby!!! Even if you would have had American Idol on your poll, I still would have voted for GA. Can you believe that??

I am a Law & Order junkie. I will even watch them over & over again. I am anxious about this year though because they've moved it to Friday nights which is like Siberia. Jack will be getting a new asst. since Alexandria got murdered (too bad, but I really didn't care for her anyway) and Ed will get a new partner because dapper silver haired guy (Dennis Farina) will be gone. And, I really liked him!! This show usually survives changes in cast very well, so I hope everything will be OK. I also LOVE Boston Legal. William Shatner and James Spader just crack me up.

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine
