i’ve had my halloween costume planned for exactly 12 months.  after being uninspired last year – i woke up the day after halloween 2008 with the best idea ever.  long, wide leg jeans – check!  sky-high, platform heels – check!  sheer blouse – check!  cocktail rings on every finger, strands of chains, a couple of bangles and an oversized gold watch – check!  i even unearthed a faux-fur bcbg vest circa 2000 (see – this is why my closest is so over crowded).  i’d find a blonde wig, i’d carry around a venti starbucks – RACHEL ZOE here i come!

alas, the costume isn’t going to happen this year.  i’m distracted and not so much in the halloween spirit – but if you’re looking for a last minute fabulous costume, please consider this my gift to you.  now, moving on…

i read  THIS article and found it interesting enough to share.  i think its funny that there are people quoted in this article from so many different points in my life.  i don’t usually share articles (have i ever?  doubtful) but i know all my readers don’t live my jewish life so maybe this gives a bit of insight.

the last two weeks have included little sleep for me and when sleep has come its been full of really fucked up dreams.  last night i was hoping for relief and while i did sleep i woke up multiple times completely freaked out and in a cold sweat (different from my typical hot sweat – i’m really fun to share a bed with…) and with a roaring headache this morning.  i’m not sure if that’s better or worse than the night before when i slept on my couch with the tv on.

i’ve got one last link for you today before i go.  for the last month + i’ve been gearing up to be part of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month…incase you didnt know).  Every November a group of writers pledge to take time to write, just a bit, every day in the month of November.  clearly, forced writing doesn’t always create the highest quality of product, but that’s not the point.  the point is to get the ideas flowing so to speak.  i was psyched.  i was stocked.  i was ready to go.  now – it’s two days away and i’m starting to second guess.  i don’t want to wait until next year because, like i’ve learned with my rachel zoe costume – who  knows where i’ll be a year from now.  so, dear readers, i’m turning to you for the push that i need…comment away!
