Weekend Update

Britney and K-Fed Costume
To follow up on the Britney and K-Fed costume story... we were not recognized at the grocery store as B and K. The checker just thought we were unfortunately dressed individuals. At the party we received a few blank stares, particularly when we weren’t standing next to each other. When we were together, we heard "oh, I get it!" We also won a prize in the costume contest for "least likely pair to have a platinum album in the future.” Sweet!

“Have a Nice Day, Ma’am”
At which point did I go from "miss" to "ma'am"? Was it when the clerks at Walgreens started getting younger than me? Is it because I’m pregnant? Or have I become wrinkly in my old age? Either way, the ma'am/ miss dilemma happens over and over. I hate it when a "younger" guy (below 30 years old) calls old ladies "girls." Are you girls out to do some shopping today? Give me a break. They know they're old. Don't be annoying sbout it. But then, some old chicks might like that. There's no right answer.

Racial Relations
So, I was watching a Shirley Temple DVD tonight and kinda freaked out when I realized that it's in "Dimples" that they have the black folk all act stupid and when white people are acting like black people in the theater, they paint their faces black and their lips white. Do I want my kid watching this "classic" stuff? Is this educational or historical?

Christmas Cards
Damn you Martha Stewart for your article on hand made holiday cards. I spent waaay too much money buying stuff for my cards this weekend (bad) and spent hours making the cards (fun, but lonely), thus the two films.

Audrey H.
I also watched "Roman Holiday" with Audrey Hepburn. It wasn't nearly the catastrophe that Shirley Temple was. Audrey was a real person and I could totally hang out with her. Natalie Portman is today’s Audrey, but I couldn’t chill with Natalie.

VS
I'm wearing horribly adorable pajamas that looked really cute in the store, but I resemble Strawberry Shortcake with them on. Fortunately, they're comfy (good!) but I paid for them with my credit card (damn!)

Day light savings, good!
