It's bright and sunny out, and there is a cool breeze blowing. This is one of those rare Fall mornings in the desert that makes you realize it really IS Fall. Today's high is showing at 80 degrees. Considering that was our overnight low last month, this is exciting news.
The lungs are really being quite problematic; having a heck of a time getting all the goop out of them. I'm doing a breathing treatment right now, which should help. And I have a huge 24 oz glass of water at my side. But I'm thinking I may have to have some chicken soup for lunch. ;) And I'm being a good girl and taking my Prednisone. Blech. I ask you: How many drugs can one body take before it has had enough?
Dr. Fastenberg, my oncologist, looks at my lab work and tells me I have the strongest liver he's ever seen. Good thing, too! It would be nice to have at least one decent organ left in my body. :D
So, for tonight's guilty pleasure, it's the finale of "Project Runway," but I must say, I'm rather ambivalent about it. This season hasn't had stellar talent like past seasons. Where is a Christian Siriano? Where is a Mondo Guerra? This batch seems totally forgettable. What this season has had is one mean-spirited drama Queen in Joshua McKinley. Ai chihuahua. So yeah, I am kinda not caring all that much.
Now, I think I'll go get some hot tea; hot beverages are good when you need to loosen up the goop in your chest.
Love to all.

Hey Girl
ReplyDeleteYeah, I remember those temps, this is the best time of year in AZ. There is a rumour that we might get get some snow on Saturday. Denver had 6" overnite last nite.
I love Project Runway and I have to say I am with you on this seasons contestants, they are quite poor. I am confused about how the Filipina girl got thru. She has some good ideas but the fact that she cannot sew, well, it all seems a bit wrong to me. The drama queen is a pain in the ass, he does have some good ideas though. The black girl is toast. I have to say I like the other guy, I think he has made some really cool stuff. I sorta picked him from the beginning. You are right though, there is no-one who really stands out like in previous seasons. Sorry, I am really bad with names and getting worse it seems by the day.
I have to say I am looking forward to the new project show, sorry cannot remember what it is called but it looks like they are gonna be making accessories. I think it starts at the beginning of Nov. I shall have to look it up, looks good.
Anyway girl
Get better soon
Fay
Project Accessory - Duh
ReplyDeleteIt is on tonite after Project Runway. It looks good
Fay
Oh yeah, Project Accessory... I'm going to give it a try, as I enjoy sparkly things of any type. In fact, I adore the new shoes these days, but too bad I can't and actually wouldn't even if I could.. wear them. :)
ReplyDeleteBut they are SO cute! :D If you get a chance go to Macy's website and look for Ruthie Davis (oh dear, I hope I have her name right) shoes... those babies are to DIE for!
http://www.ruthiedavis.com/collection_shoes.html
ReplyDeleteHere's HER website. Enjoy!
Well, what the hell happened tonite. My goodness. She cannot sew a hem, or insert a zipper or make pants or jackets or,or,......How the hell did she win? There must have been a fix on somewhere. I want to know what she spent her money on when they went home to make their collections. All I saw was a bunch of fabric none of which she seemed to have made anything from. Then low and behold they are all given another $500 to go to Mood to buy more fabric. I think this was intentional to see if she could turn anything decent out.
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for the other guys. Yes she has good ideas but puleeze, schooling and tailoring have to stand for a lot. I thought it was all so unfair, can you tell sweetie.
Fay
ps
loved the accessory show, worth watching methinks
I never made it to the accessory show; got too tired.
ReplyDeleteYep,I have to agree that this season felt very 'fixed.' Jane and I swore, though, that if that collection by Joshua won, we'd never watch another episode of Project Runway again.
I think Victor's collection was miles better than any of the other three, but they nitpicked him to death.
Oh well, c'est la vie! :)
