You know, there are days when even I don’t have much to say. Which, if you know me for more than 5 seconds, is rather shocking. I chalk it up to the crummy weather.
Tip Of The Day: I will attempt to reconstruct my spending from last week, but apparently? Many of my receipts migrated south for the winter and are no where to be found. Wish I could go with them… But hey! We’ll turn those frowns upside down with this week’s Eye Candy. Yummy.
Tip For Tomorrow: Due to Thanksgiving’s insistence that it occur each year on Thursday, my Fox 9 Morning Buzz segment will be tomorrow. At 9:30 AM. Please watch, I need your ratings. Therefore, tomorrow’s post will be a companion piece to that segment. Here’s a hint to the topic – it rhymes with Smack Driveway.
Further Elucidation Of My Cheap Deal: It never ceases to amaze me how much more animated people appear in their blog writings than in real life – myself included. I usually sound as chipper as a squirrel on crack in these cyber pages, even when I’m barely conscious. Huh – the power of the Interwebs, I guess.
I’m not sad or anything. I’m just being bothered and inconvenienced by life this week. So much to do! No time to do it! Need to exercise before I go insane! That kind of stuff – aka the stuff we ALL suffer from. And one of those things inconveniencing me? I’ve managed to throw out/misplace many of last week’s receipts, so I’m doing this week’s Spending Recap half-cocked, from the hip, and without a net. In short, I am Not Prepared. No wonder I never made it to full-fledged Girl Scout…
Weekly Spending Recap, The “Day Late And Half My Receipts Short” Edition:

Total Spending For The Week (that I remember): $111.93. I can’t pat myself on the back for this low number, seeing as I’m not 100% sure of its accuracy. However, at least I tried – and there’s something to be said for the effort, right? RIGHT? Back me up on this, please. On the bright side, I have a firm grip on what I’ve spent this week – all 1 1/2 days of it.
Moving on! To hot men! Which should make the ladies of the Empire a bit happier on this gloomy November day. We need a burst of sunshine around here, and who’s sunnier than this guy?

Mmmm, CLOONEY. Clooney is like those other men that can go by just one name, like Madonna or Jesus. He needs no other introduction, and he’s as happy as a bunny on a spring day. Oh, and here he is shirtless and wet (my favorite):

Clooney is a classic Eye Candy – one that just keeps getting better with age. Enjoy.

Honestly? George Clooney irritates me. (Does anyone even have him on their list of 5?) Mr. Perpetual Bachelor with the villa in Italy and from what I have read, he is kind of a prick in reality. Then again, I don’t know him, or Brangelina, or any of these irrationally beautiful and wealthy folk, so perhaps I should shut my yap.
No sir, don’t like it. Also, what movie did you see with the Cheap Dude? And talk about cheap, making you pay for yourself like that. (Love you more than Clooney, Cheap Dude!)
Hmm, if George really is a meanie, that just makes him “ugly”, regardless of what he looks like. I’m sure Cheap Dude is a LOT hotter and nicer than George, anyway!
I hope the reset dvr records you today! I’ll find out after work (*crossing my fingers*). Regarding your awol receipts, eh. Happens. Life goes on. Just focus on a Happy Thanksgiving!
