update in point form.
* Still sick. I keep choking on my own throat. Is that weird?
* Sunny in Vancouver today.
* Happy to be in November, because that means Halloween is over and all the tarty nurse costumes will go back where they belong — in the fantasies of awkward men.
* GINGERBREAD LATTE!
* Wooly gray cable-knit sweater.
* Desperately in need of professional eyebrow maintenance.
* Going to buy red lipstick and revisit my late twenties.
* In love with Paul Adelstein. Slowly realizing I have an obsession with dark-haired Chicago natives.

Gingerbread lattes are back? Oh dear. This spells danger! Oh, who am I kidding - it’s awesome.
I’m guessing you must have watched Private Practice last night, based on the Paul Adelstein love? I swore up and down that I wouldn’t like the show, but I am totally hooked. Last night’s episode was fantastic.

Well, us Chicagoans are admittedly pretty awesome. It’s nice to see people recognize that!

Twitter is indeed the new trust economy. My twitter friends have frequent ‘Bucks tweets - which got me hooked on the White Chocolate Mocha, the Cinnamon Dolce Latte and now I will have to try the Gingerbread Latte. Glad I was given a ‘Bucks gift certificate because my 5-year olds college funds would be completely depleted by now.

Have you found a good red lipstick? I remain in a never-ending search for the perfect, blue-red, matte, 1940s-style red lipstick, but it seems an almost impossible task — the Holy Grail of lipstick.

You should work in a public school. Not only are costumes not encouraged on Halloween–they’re not permitted! And anyone who looks “tarty” on any given day has to call her parents to get a change of clothes!

The GBL is crack in a cup. Must. Have. Now!

Mmmmm…….two-pumps-less-extra-espresso-no-whip GBL.
Am jealous of your upcoming eyebrow wax. I was complaining about the caterpillars on my forehead the other day and then balanced my checkbook. No wax this month!
