Confessions of a Pack Rat!

Just got back from seeing Confessions of a Shopaholic!

I loved this as a book from Sophie Kinsella when I read it back in high school and seeing this as a movie totally made me laugh out loud. Great physical comedy and a cute leading man with Hugh Dancy!

 It also started me thinking thank goodness I am having a major garage sale tomorrow because if not I might have to write a book about my own problem and it would have to be called Confessions of a Pack Rat!

Orla Kiely at Target!

My favorite designer Ireland's Orla Kiely has designed inexpensive office, kitchen and dish wares for your home which are now in at your local Target store. Amazing vibrant textiles and simply fun colorful items you will soon be loving her too! 

Normally she is uber expensive. When I was in England a few years ago I found out about her and splurged when I bought a bag or two of hers. Anyways go check it out! 

I did and I got 3 canisters, dishes, bowls, cups, apron, oven mitts.....etc......to name just a few.....I couldn't pass this up and I will be working tons of hours to pay for it but hey I think it's worth it! 

Gotta love Orla Kiely!

I'd Like To Be Lost With You, Doctor!

I started to rewatch season one of Lost last week when I was on the tread mill and decided to only watch it when I was working out. Ha like that worked! After starting to watch it again I began to remember how much I love this man, Matthew Fox who plays Doctor Jack Shepard! 

Hottie in the jungle rain...ignore Kate in the background.

Island sweater.

After the crash...a little disoriented but still looking fine.

Oh yeah....and me with Matthew Fox in 2005 at the Paley Festival.

P.s. He totally held out his hand for me to grab to pull me through the crowd to get a picture with him. What a sweetheart! Of course I took it and almost pasted out.

P.p.s. I also have another picture with him from that night but I can' find it right now.

P.p.p.s. I heart him! And I heart Jack Shepherd!
