Thursday Smorgasbord

I have a DVR full of shows to watch and my eyelids are getting heavy, so let's do this quickly shall we? A few things I want to share with the group:

• Have you seen Wanda Sykes' special on HBO Ima Be Me? Flippin' hilarious. I laughed the full 90 minutes. You can still find it "On Demand" on HBO through November 9.



• Swoozie's is having a great stationary sale. They're offering free personalization on their adorable note cards, free shipping on the personalized stampers and a bunch of other great deals. If you need stocking stuffers, hostess gifts or gifts for friends or teachers, check it out.



• We're getting a Nordstrom Rack in Orlando. Wahoo! I considered going in late to work tomorrow so I could be there for the grand opening at 9am, but then I remembered I hate the pack mentality of people at grand openings. People who sleep in line for three days at Ikea for a free chair? Not my preferred shopping partners. I'll go once the crazies leave. Same goes for the H&M that opened last week.



• Does anyone know the name of the song playing on the trailer for the movie "Precious"? I love it. I really want to see the movie (despite the fact that Mariah Carey is in it) but it just looks so heartbreaking.



• Are you watching The Naughty Kitchen with Chef Blythe on the Oxygen Network? NO? What's wrong with you?!?!? Chef Blythe rocks my socks off. I want to go the Big-D just to eat at Central 214. Steaks slathered in butter and lobster mac'n'cheese - yes please!



• Confession: I bought five (FIVE!) pairs of shoes last week. Don't judge.



• My sister is heading to Boston in the morning to spend the weekend with our baby brother. (Who hasn't been a baby in oh, 22 years.) I couldn't take the time off of work so I'm not going. {insert sad face here} They've both been warned that they are to have absolutely no fun without me. I'm going to be one sad pup this weekend knowing I'm missing everything!

• Starbucks rolled out their red holiday cups this week. I got my first of the season this morning and it made my day.

I think that's quite enough randomness for one night. Happy Friday everyone!

EDITED TO ADD on 11/7:

I found the song from the Precious commercial! It's "Happy" by Leona Lewis. I've decided I really want to see the movie but it won't be in Orlando until November 20th...

Also, I went to the Nordstrom Rack last night. I have to say, I was pretty disappointed. Aside from some great prices on designer sunglasses (Gucci, Kate Spade, Coach, Christian Dior - for $70) there really wasn't much. The shoe section, which I was most excited about, was terrible. I think I'll stick to Off 5th and Neiman Marcus Last Call when I'm looking for designer bargains.
