Hey, it's getting into the mid 30's at night. I can drive 30 minutes and be in the snow. And I go to Oregon every winter. Sheesh. Justify my wardrobe.

No shizzle! I think it's warmer in NYC tonight.

I don't even own a winter coat (except for a ski jacket that is only worn for skiing), so I thought it was funny that you would have a veritable fur salon. But then again... you certainly have the space for it!

I know!! Ryan was telling me about the Playboy Suite he had, while I had the Motel 6 Special.

And of course Ryan was there for all of 2.5 hours.

Just goes to show you... you get the best customer service by dealing with a human (with inside connections, that is.

).

It's always disappointing to go into these large, stately houses only to find hollow-core doors, bad wallpaper and avocado green appliances.

So was this ballgown thing a regular occurrence or what??

That's the thing in Atlanta and apparently elsewhere. People build these huge houses and then skimp on stock dors with 14 foot ceilings and foam molding. Yuck!

The ballgown(s), however, appeared infrequently until the bitter end of the relationship, when I was in Tara alone at night with several empty pitchers of martinis, supine on the Steinway while belting out Oh My Man I Love Him So.

I swear, if I don't meet you in person soon I will just die. DIE!

I don't own a home. The average price of a home around here is $350,000 I think. I want to buy a condo soon though.

My roommates decorated here, I like it. I haven't even decorated my room except for this Isaac Mizrahi duvet set from Target. I love the bright colors and it is perfect for a house on the sea.

Ooh downstairs where the big old house is mine!

Of course there was a problem, Scarlett!

Now THAT is an image that needs to be immortalized somehow.

This was the first time I had seen an automatic check-in thing at a hotel. My thought was "my god another set of jobs eliminated" so I went to the real person.

I love the fact that Target makes good design affordable and I love the Mizrahi stuff... but I'm not sure if it works just anywhere. You have to be really committed to pull it off.

They were instructed to upgrade upon arrival at check in desk.
I guess Ryan's need for a human connection paid off...
