When I received the October issue of Allure magazine on Saturday, I was surprised to see Lindsay Lohan on the cover… until I realized it was Ellen Pompeo, as a blonde. I think that color really works for her. Do you?

“ba rock it” t-shirt
As soon as I saw this t-shirt on A Cup of Jo, I knew I had to have it. I love the slogan, the color and its worn-in look.
The catch: Obama is not my husband’s candidate of choice (to be fair, McCain may not be either), so to purchase something political with our money just didn’t seem fair.
The solution: Ask my very liberal father to buy it for me.
He did! Thanks, dad.
Update: I just came across this 5×7 print on the Scoop. Dad?
rainy morning
The sound of thunder woke me up at 8 AM. Now I’m nestled on my comfy couch, catching up on 1000+ Google Reader entries and drinking a cup of French Vanilla-flavored coffee. When I’m inside my apartment all warm and cozy, I don’t mind the rain. It’s a peaceful morning.
Happy Monday, everybody.

your thoughts: the emmy awards
What did you think about tonight’s Emmy Awards? I thought they were terribly boring and that the five nominated reality-show hosts were awful at award-show hosting–especially Howie Mandel. I wanted to slap him and Jeff Probst (who shouldn’t have won–I was rooting for Tom Bergeron) every time they opened their mouths.
Best line 1:
“What if I just kept talking for 12 minutes? That was the opening!”
– Jeremy Piven
Best line 2:
To paraphrase… “Why are they all standing? Is it a Jewish holiday?”
–Don Rickles (upon receiving a standing ovation)

my big news: lemondrop
Happy Friday, my friends! Since I’ve been out of the country and away from my computer for the past ten days, there’ll be no round-up today.
However, I have some exciting news to share: I’m one of eight bloggers for Lemondrop, a “saucy new women’s site.” My blog, The Starter Life, will be about my adventures in the Midwest as a newlywed and military wife. I’ll also be writing about being a city-fish out of water, quitting my job(s), attempting to start my own business and buying a first house. Basically, it’ll be a blog about my life.
The Starter Life will be updated every other Monday, and I’ll also be contributing additional pieces to Lemondrop, such as What To Do If a Friend’s Getting the Pink Slip, on a semi-regular basis.
Have no fears: I’ll still be blogging right here on Somewhere in Middle America, and I hope you’ll keep stopping by and sharing your thoughts and opinions.
Thanks for your support–
PJ
