I have an addiction
Mood:  cheeky
Hello my name is Rebecca and I am addicted to denim.

I got a coupon in the mail last week for 45% off any purchase at New York and Company (one of my favorite stores). I decided that I needed some new shirt. Something nice for when I go out to dinner. I swore to myself that I would not buy another pair of jeans. I have more than I will ever wear. So Sunday morning I headed out to the mall. I went into the store and immediately filled my arms with shirts. On my way to the dressing room I noticed a table with a display of their new Westside Jeans. I thought I will just pick up a pair and try them on...but I WASN'T going to buy them. Can you see where this is going? Anyway...I must of spent what seemed liked an hour in the dressing room. I tried everything on twice...including the jeans. I finally made my decisions and came out of the store with one shirt and 3 PAIRS of Westsside boot cut jeans. UGH!!! I am so mad at myself. I got home and counted and with the three pairs I bought yesterday I now own 26 pairs of jeans. *Sigh* It is a sickness. I need help. On a positive note...they are slimming and make by butt look very nice. LOL

I also went over to Bed, Bath and Beyond to buy new pillows and also manage to buy 440 thread count combed cotton sateen sheets. They are so soft. Getting into bed last night and feeling those soft sheets against my freshly shaved legs was heavenly (guys wont understand that sensation). I slept like a log.

I watched a movie last night called the "World's Fastest Indian". It was recommended to me by my friend Bill. I wasn't too excited about watching it, but told him that I would give it a chance. I LOVED IT!!! It is about a man named Burt Munroe (played by Anthony Hopkins) from New Zealand who comes to America with his Indian Scout motorcycle to try to set a land speed record. The best part of the movie is the odd characters he meets along the way. It is a great movie about determination, perseverance, and following your dreams.

I also finished reading Secret Society Girl Friday night. What a great book. Thanks Anne for sending it to me. It was definitely a page turner.There are very few books out there that are hard for me to put down. I just had to see what happened in the next chapter. I really identified with the character of Amy, who fights to prive that woman belong in the all male secret society. Being a girl who has chosen to work in what has, in the past, been a male dominated field, I have had to struggle to prove that women can be great, if not better, park rangers than men. Men will often walk by you and utter under their breath "rangerette". And when I fought fires I worked harder then most men on my crew just to prove that I had a right to be there. Heaven forbid they saw you wince when you took the boots off of your blister covered feet. I am glad to finally read a book that has strong female characters. Characters that girls can look up to. If you are looking for a book to take with you to the beach, then I highly recommend you buy "Secret Society Girl, an Ivy Novel" by Diana Peterfreund.

Well I have think I have written enough for today. Back to work all of you!!!

26 PAIRS OF JEANS!!!! REBECCA!!!! When are you ever going to wear 26 pairs of jeans? That is just obsurd.

I am glad you enjoyed the movie. See you need to stop doubting me. ;) How did you like Eight Below?

I don't have a clue where I am going to wear all those jeans. I told you...it is a sickness.

Eight Below was also VERY good. Although I cried till I made myself sick. I can handle people getting hurt or dying in a movie but an animal...I just can't stamd it. That is why Tanya will no longer let me watch Animal Cops.

Wow!! 26 pairs of jeans! I'm impressed! I owned a grand total of 3 until Kate let me raid her closet this winter. And one of the three have holes near the crotch and in the butt around the pockets... so not really a pair to be worn out and about.

Great write up about SSG! I'll send the link to Diana as I'm sure she'd appreciate the compliments.

I'm glad you picked up the book, read it, and loved it. I thought it was so fun when I read it... and then I've been getting to know Diana through her blog and she's down right hysterical. Please spread the word on the book? I'd love to see it fly off shelves. :D
