Thoroughly Random Thursday

Eat Pray Love, my least favorite book that was uber hyped is now a movie.
I am sure all the Oprah followers and lovers of this book will flock to the movie.
As you may or may not remember I HATED this book.
I found the author glib, self absorbed and with entitlement issues.

What she said she was looking for was not in her behavior at all.
The big and important things like her marriage she treated like it was tissue she was throwing away. She had no regard for any ones feelings but her own.
She didn't care how her actions affected anyone but herself.
The more I read it the more I didn't like this woman.
I guess I prefer to enjoy my heroine on some level while reading the book.
I disliked her more and more as this book went on.
I often wondered if those that loved it just loved the idea of it.
The idea of searching the world for your truth and living the life of a rich woman with no more cares in the world than self.
Could that have been the appeal?
Gee can you tell I didn't like this woman?
I sadly know a lot of her ilk.

This morning in the USA Today newspaper there is a review.
This reviewer felt the same thing for the movie that I did the book.
The caption for the review is 'Eat Pray Love' comes off more like 'Me Me Me'
I couldn't have agreed more!
But little ole me and my opinion will not stop this from becoming box office gold for Ms. Julia Roberts. At least she got to eat well.

I asked hubby if he could please make me a vanity top that would look similar to carrera marble.  You see our main bathroom at the lake house was never remodeled. 
It was just painted quickly after we bought it because at the time we were also renting it out.  We didn't have enough time to do everything.
Right now I can not afford to get a new vanity but I think painting it will make it look a lot better. 
I thought that since this vanity was going to be very dark that a carrera marble looking vanity top would look great.
Hubby makes concrete counter tops and vanity tops for paying customers why not me?
He has never made one to look like carerra marble before and he was willing to give it a try.
Now I am sure I will have to put out for this, ah but what the hell.

Here is what it looks like right now. 
It still needs to be polished.
While it is nice and shiny now it will be more so when he is done with it. 
I will show you the after of the whole room when completed.
But check it out in it's raw stage.  I think the old man did a nice job.

I am currently hating on my hair.  I am growing out my short do. 

I may not be able to go through with this. 

Is wearing a baseball cap all the time until it's a normal style again okay?

Inappropriate with a black dress you say? If it matches?

Seriously I know in the big scheme of things this is pretty trivial.

But I look in the mirror and go what the hell are you thinking woman? 

It's just brown stuff hanging off your head with no style now. 

This can really ruin my day.  Outfit? Cute!  Hair?  OMG! what is on your head?

I remember when Katie Couric grew out her super short do on national television.

I also remember laughing out loud when my husband one morning said, "What the hell is going on with her hair?"  So if he noticed it was bad we all know it was bad. 

Bravo to her because she did it in front of millions. 

Can I?  Will I?  Oh Lordy this sucks!
