SO what does a single girl do now that she has replaced all of her fun flirty - "I've got sexy undies on and know one knows but me, tee hee" with boring cute but comfy cotton ones. She relizes that it might be time to slowly integrate cute panties into her underclothes wardrobe once again.
Ok so after looking up my brothers christmas present online I ran across this ---
and to match --- I found this 
Both are still catergortized in the not over my dead body section of underthings.
Alas - time to check out Victoria's secret - see if they have something that more --- I don't know - less scary.
But in the end I know that my cotton bikinis and few remaining sexy girl panties are a step above the "Fashion Panty Wardrobe"
Confession: My sister and I met up with my Grandma friday afternoon. At the end of lunch she loaded my car with christmas presents.
My original thought: Well, this is odd, there are wrapped packages -- normally she only did wrapped packages for my dad and us kids and my mom got random presents in assorted gift bags. Mostly crap - she's old now and doesn't know what us 20 somethings are into and hasn't considered the notion that gift cards and cash are sufficent.
Now I don't mean to sound greedy or anthing like that - but she has enough money where she could be a little better in the gift giving arena. But most of the time she gets us trinkets and a hundred dollars or so in spending money. Anyways -- my point is it really doesn't matter what the gift is - it's the thought put into it.
And frankly - my poor brother was the on the short end of the stick when it came to receiving a thoughtful gift.
Anyways -- so we get and home and open our christmas presents - because we know they will be funny or amusingly tacky and it's really not worth the suspense.
Me and my sister received identical gifts as usual: A box of humingbird stationary, an artifical candel that can not be lit and a operates on batteries and some post it notes with cats on them. and the cash department was lower than standard 100. Oh well. I'm over it. My sister is a little bummed out.
But my brother -- he received a tie organizer. That'll be OH SO useful since he has a total of 2 ties. 1 of which was just aquired this weekend for a wedding, and one is clip on from his first communion back in 1993.
The fun doesn't stop here... He also received a large book about the history of american autos. Now, if my brother cared anything about cars this might be appropriate. But, she tried, maybe, I remember the one year he got penut brittle for a present.
But the kicker is the following: Now, It might be me but the present pictured below just doesn't scream 24 year old grandson does it? I think there might have been some good deals at Mills Fleet Farm or quite possibly Walgreens:
SO LIFE LIKE...YOU'LL THINK HE'S REAL

Ok so I really don't love Mondays. But once a week or so I try to make it to Perkins for the Soup of the Day. Monday is my favorite Soup of the Day, since it is Chicken Tortilla. I like my Chicken Tortilla soup paired with the oh so sophisticated grilled cheese sandwhich.
Perfect for the chilly day it was today.
Anyways -- I know it doesn't sound very glamourous or special, but it really is a fantastic soup.
Now I'm on the hunt for a recipe to try and make my very own.
PS. The Campbells version of same said soup is not very good, quite bland and lame actually. But I do love Fiesta Nacho Cheese.
Yes, I'm lame and I'm blogging about soup - what can I say, life is exciting.
Soo you want to read a fast paced chick lit book.
Look no further than Sophie Kinsella's Remember Me. It's funny, and delightful and I flipped through it.
The jist without any spoilers:
A 20-something Girl, Lexi Smart has an okay life that ison the verge of going to hell in a handbasket. She get's amnesia and wakes up a totally differnt and changed person.
It's cute and simple and well written.
I highly reconmend it if you are trying to add a book a week to your reading schedule.
Another one to read by her is Undomestic Goddess. Also funny and cute.
I'm a little afraid to start reading her Shopaholic series- I might be forced to pick up something less chick and more lit. But Both of these are excellent fluffy books that make you laugh and sympathize with the charachters.
