Meh…
January Jones’s dress looks too much like a mullet.
(Same with Anna Paquin’s)
Kyra Sedgwick’s hair is too undone.
Keri Russell looks too much like an extra from “Dirty Dancing.”
Likey…
A lovely combination of navy and gold on Jayma Mays.
A lovely hairstyle on Tina Fey… finally!
A lovely dress on Claire Danes… but her overall look is just too shiny.
Her face and body are glowing.

In honor of National Dog Day, I’d like to share a photograph of my friend’s dog Lola, who graciously allowed me to take her portrait the other day. She’s part beagle, part dachshund and part diva.
Isn’t she a beaut?
My weekend with Ali was fantastic. Just what I needed as we’re coming up on the halfway point of J’s deployment.
We had 48 hours together and did a lot of eating. I took her to some of my favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurants, including Lisa’s Radial Cafe, Rivera’s, Dixie Quicks and The Drover. Saturday was our “day of pampering” with pedicures at The Nail Shop and massages at the Omaha School of Massage. You really can’t beat the price — $35 for a 1-hour massage. Seriously.
But back to The Nail Shop. It was my first time there, and I can honestly say that it was the best pedicure experience I’ve ever had. The leg and foot massage was blissful, my toes are perfect and the space is just so zen. Instead of noisy, vibrating chairs, you sit in oversized, cushy armchairs like these from Pottery Barn and listen to the soothing sound of Sade. I didn’t even want a magazine to read. I just leaned back, closed my eyes and relaxed.
(my photo… I realize that The Drover isn’t necessarily a hole-in-the-wall, but it isn’t a “fancy steakhouse” either.)
When I purchased three copies of Saturday’s Omaha World-Herald, the guy behind the counter asked if I had just gotten a new puppy. He assumed I needed them for housebreaking purposes.
Silly, him! I explained to “Jake” (I don’t know his name) that the reason I was buying so many was because my picture was in the paper. Seriously! I was interviewed for an article on “Mad Men,” and they included my head shot in the piece.
Unfortunately, my photo is not on their website, but you can read why I love “Mad Men” right here.
Why do you love the show? What did you think about last night’s season premiere?

Bad blogger! I haven’t had a chance to write my weekly link up post because I’ve been prepping for an out-of-town guest. My oldest friend is coming to Omaha for the very first time this morning.
When I say “oldest,” I don’t mean in age. I’ve known Ali even longer than I’ve known my own sister. Our moms met in Lamaze class; Ali was born a month before I was. We lived in the same townhouse development until our parents bought their first houses. Although they moved to the same town, Ali and I went to different elementary and middle schools. Our friendship survived on play dates until we met back up in high school. Then after college we were roomies in DC for a year.
She requested I show her my favorite places in Omaha this weekend, which got me thinking… What are my faves? While I come up with my list, why don’t you share yours? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
