hangin with queen helene and burt's bees

i have just spent my evening in the most glorious way. it involved pajamas, ugly betty reruns from fanpop.com, hanging out in my fluffly bed with my roommate's cat, and lots of girly beauty time. abso-fuckin-lutely glorious. i haven't had an evening of pure relaxation in at least six months. nights taken off were typically reserved for my mini-benders of my psychotic last semester in grad school. oh, benders... don't you think i'll be leaving those behind any time soon...

in any case, i've been watching LOTS of ugly betty. some how the fact that i freaking watch TV for a living right now isn't enough, and i have to spend hours upon hours of my time watching new shows online or on actual tv. this leads to many many marathons. Work Out marathon? I'm there. free episodes online? I'm doubly there-- and will knock that season out in less than a week. I clearly have a sickness. to get to the point, ugly betty is adorable, and perfect to balance out all of the earthquakes and floods and wars and (blech) conservatives i read about in my other obsession... the news. 

(you would think from reading this that i'm 50 pounds over weight and spend my days in a recliner munching on cookie dough with my laptop and the tv... i promise, the situation isn't nearly that bad) 

soon i'll be moving on to a book obsession. there's an awesome, trendy little bookstore in dupont circle with employees that remind me of austin, and on good days remind me that boys with tattoos are really yummy. they have a superb selection of trendy up and coming books that are talked about all over the new york times, AND cater to not only the very small hipster crowd of dc and simultaneously to the yuppies. this little mecca of pretty people who like to act like their smart is just around the corner from my office, and will lend itself to many visits from me in these next two months before i leave dc. 

can. not. freakin. wait.

now back to more ugly betty and burt's bees' coconut foot creme. walking 6 miles a day does a number on your feet...
