So I got this weird idea to search for other Edie's and befriend them.  It was fun for awhile until I ended up with a ton of Edie's on my friends list and started getting confused between them, lol.

Anyway, the really cool thing about all that is that I found an Edie who can sing!  (Unlike me.)  And not only that, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE her music.

Please show some love for Edie and check out Edie The Singer's myspace page.

I (Edie) thank you.  Edie (the other Edie) thanks you.  Edie's across the globe thank you.

Here are three things in a myspace email that scream "I’m a pervert/scammer/conman":

1. Subject lines that read "Hi Sexy" or "Hello Pretty."

2. Vague compliments that could apply to anyone ("you have great features!").

3. The phrase "age is only a number."

I did not want to go to my tennis lesson tonight!  It's dark, it's cold, I'm tired, I'm stressed and in a bad mood from work, I have things to do around the house:  those are all the reasons not to go. 

But, after I made myself go to my lesson, I felt good both physically and mentally, and I'm glad I went.  And because my instructor has set aside his time for me, I'm not going to flake out, so I'm forced to at least get a half hour of exercise (doing something fun) every week, if nothing else. 

If you hate exercising like I hate exercising, I strongly recommend you do what I did and take up a fun hobby that will get you doing something physical.  According to the world famous Mayo Clinic, there are many more benefits to exercising than just burning calories.  Here are a few.  Excerise:

- releases chemicals in the brain that improve your mood,

- combats heart disease, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, some types of cancer, and insomnia, and

- increases your energy level, even in between exercise days.

What hobby have you always wanted to try but didn't that would get you moving?

Had a fairly good weekend. Decided to 1) put in a minimum of 24 hours a week on my web stuff (keep in mind I work a 40-hour job, too), and 2) track my hours.  Started tracking on Wednesday & surpassed 24 hours just since then, but much of it is behind-the-scenes work, so in a way it feels like I haven't done anything! 

In fact, when I get done writing this post, I need to go and log some time on my fashion blog (justaformality.com) as I let it go a couple of days without any new posts (I don't like doing that, especially since this is the blog that I get paid for).

For all the stuff I got done, there, of course, are tons of things I meant to get to this weekend and didn't.  Didn't go see my dad, didn't run some errands, didn't get my nails done (need it bad), didn't clean the bathroom.

I did manage to spend some time in the kitchen, which I enjoy.  Made some apple scones, fudge, and turkey pita sandwiches.  The sandwiches are super easy if you're looking for fast and easy dinner ideas. 

EASY DINNER:  TURKEY PITA

ingredients: deli turkey, pita bread, monterey jack cheese, lettuce, sprouts, italian dressing

Get some deli turkey sliced about 1/2 inch thick, then cut it into cubes.  Cut up some lettuce, shred some monterey jack cheese, and add sprouts.  Stuff it all in a pita or leave the ingredients separate and let everyone make their own.  Once the pita is stuffed, sprinkle everything inside it with a little bit of italian dressing (I like Paul Neuman's).  Sooo yummy and sooo easy.

In an effort to be more web accessible, I'm getting into some of the more fun sites on the web, like myspace.  Part of this is because I want to be better able to connect with the people who read my fashion blog justaformality.com, and part of it is because it's just fun.

A big thank you to webfetti.com for helping me to de-uglify my myspace page.  I'd also like to point out that the thumbnail of my pic is adding weird lines/bags under my eyes that aren't there!  It looks kinda scary -- not sure how to fix that.

Look for more posts here about me, life in The O.C., fashion, cooking, my evil cat, and other randomness.

One last thought/request/pitiful plea for acceptance:  if you want to add me as your myspace friend so I don't look like a friendless loser, that would be just awesome.  In the words of Kip Dynamite...peace out.
