1. We now have a refrigerator in our bedroom. A few weeks ago, after my brother's wedding, he was engaged in the time-honored tradition called "Congratulations! You Moved Out! Now Remove Your Damn Shit From Mom and Dad's Garage Before They Give It Away." J and I were at my parents' house that day, and as my brother was moving stuff, J spied my brother's minifridge, left over from college, sitting unwanted in a corner. Somehow, J decided that our current refrigerator was now INSUFFICIENT for our beverage needs, and that we needed to take the minifridge home. I still do not entirely comprehend the presented rationale, but I'm vaguely recalling something about "saving time walking all the way to the kitchen if we need a drink." And let's be clear, here: We do not live in the the Bachelor mansion. Or the Real World house. Or even one of those double-wide trailers from Wife Swap. Our dwelling is a NEW YORK APARTMENT, which are not exactly reknowned for their size. The kitchen is, TOPS, 30 steps from our bedroom. I mean, really.
However, I'm all about The Strategery, so I was like, "J, if you're willing to come to a detente with regard to your ill feelings towards my Clothing Chair of Doom, then I'll allow the minifridge in our bedroom." And he was all, "DEAL!" and now there is a wee refrigerator up in here, AND my chair still has Monday's blouse, Tuesday's trousers, and what appears to be a book jacket splayed across it. Everybody wins!
I must admit, though, that having the fridge in here? Is...well, I'm kind of enjoying it. Cold water in the morning? It's here! Frozen Rolos craving during Glee? They're here! Diet Orange Sunkist at 2 a.m.? OH, YOU'D BEST BELIEVE IT'S HERE. Shhh. Don't tell J that I'm enjoying it. [Sneakily sips cold soda, eats 37 frozen Rolos.]
2. I keep seeing previews for the remake of Fame, as well as the season premiere of The Hills, which seems a good a time as any to mention that I have huge, undying girlcrushes on (former SYTYCD contestant/now-Fame star) Kherington Payne and Kristin Cavallari. So...I have a type, apparently?
3. This.
4. I've taken it upon myself of late to craft The World's Most Perfect Workout Playlist. It's a work in progress, sure, but I'm quite proud of it. Is this something you'd be interested in seeing here?
5. Okay, so this one is actually noteworthy. YOU GUYS. I am doing Fashion Week-related stuff tomorrow evening, stuff about which I'm so excited that I am loath to get into detail. And that's NOT to be annoying, and invite you to be all "OH METALIA,WE ARE EVER SO CURIOUS! DO TELL, PLEASE!"
(And for some reason, as I'm typing that, I'm hearing that statement in the voices of the children from Mary Poppins, but that's neither here nor there.)
No, I do this FOR FEAR OF JINXING, you see, the tempting of fate, so I'll just say that it involves, among other things, potentially meeting someone from a show that we all know and love, which rhymes with...Shmad Shmen. (See? Take that, fate.) I'm nervous and thrilled, and generally wriggling around like a puppy, so I'm getting through the anticipation the same way I handle all Big Things, both good and bad: I just tell myself that by this time tomorrow, it will have happened. I know, I know. Barf. Fetch me a desktop sand garden, for I am BRIMMING with zen!
(I will of course tell you the HELL out of whatever happens tomorrow night, I just gotta get through it first!)
(Wish me luck! EEEEEEEEP!)

Very cool about #5!
I would be interested in your workout playlist, as mine certainly leaves much to be desired. There's Spice Girls on mine, for Pete's sake. I need help.
I too would love the perfect workout playlist, even if I don't have Spice Girls on mine. LOL
The only thing better than a fridge in the bedroom would be a McDonald's fry station in the bedroom.
My husband keeps insisting that Dan, the runner up on HGTV Design Star, looks exactly like Guy Smiley - can't wait to show him your weblink!!
I too love Kherington! Amazing!
Also, we just got a beer fridge which means that we now have more beer and pop on hand than ever before. Not necessarily a good thing. But it's not taking room away from my wine, so it's all good.
My husband is constantly championing for a fridge, once the kids needed a cold sippy of milk rather than a room temp bottle. So far i've resisted, but im more tempted now, thinking about ice cold water first thing in the morning....(btw, im your SIL C's old college roomie)
I'm in a workout playlist rut, so the Perfect Workout Playlist is something I'm VERY interested in. Please share!
Good luck with your mystery event!
I'm dying to see your workout playlist. Here are the first 5 artists on my own workout playlist on shuffle; Vampire Weekend, Amy Winehouse, Bob Dylan, Laura Branigan, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch...eclectic, non?
Perhaps copying your workout playlist might nudge me to... I don't know... WORK OUT or something. Please share!
EEEEEEEEE!
Have fun!
I have the nightstand of doom. On it are my pajamas, a pair of shorts and tshirt I put on after work yesterday, and a pair of sweatpants I don't recall wearing recently.
I did not watch Fame, yet I am intrugued by an email I received offering me tickets to an advance showing of the movie. Too bad the theater is an hour away, and I would pass a half dozen other theathers to get there. Kind of negates the savings of the free tickets.
4. YES PLEASE.
Also, yay! for tonight!
Sometimes it scares me how much you sound like ME. Clothing chair of doom? Check. Hearing phrases in distinct voices in my head? Check. Telling myself "by this time tomorrow, it will all be over"? OMG CHECK.
So, it probably goes without saying that I'd lurve to hear all about that playlist. Good luck tomorrow night!
This is one of those comments that I can't believe I'm about leave. Not because it's offensive or creepy, but because it will showcase exactly how long I've been reading People and US Weekly.
That minifridge in your bedroom? I once read about an interview with Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora - back when they were first married. (I'm guessing this was in the early to mid 90s, maybe.) She was talking about their new home, and how it took a while for her to get used to having a - wait for it - a minifridge in the bedroom.
She goes on to say that Richie told her that it was a New Jersey thing (of course), and that lots of people had them. (In fact, I want to say that he called it something specific - a something fridge. Not mini fridge, not bedroom fridge. I don't remember what it was, but I vaguely remember it being something unusual.)
Yeah. So. You and Heather Locklear have something in common.
And with that....I'll be quiet now.
So. You and Heather Locklear now have something in common.
Fridge in the bedroom, while in theory is about the best idea ever, if you saw the size of our bedroom you'd realize it would come down to either a fridge or a bed so we'll stick with the latter.
I am squirming with anticipation about #5. You must please fill us all in as soon as it happens!
I am completely sick of (and humiliated by) my workout playlist. I would be very interested in some new ideas.
OMG...if you get to meet someone from Schmad Schmen I will be so jealoussssss!
SCHMAD SCHMEN. KVELL. You lucky, lucky thing!
I'd love to see your workout list - always looking for new ideas.
I am going to show this post to my husband. We have a clothing chair of doom - actually it's the dresser of clothing doom, and it's all my clothing. And otherwise I am WAY neater than him. I knew I couldn't be the only one.
Oooh! I can't wait to hear all about your fashion week thing! Squeeee!
My God, if I had a mini-fridge in my bedroom, I may never leave.
Also, I loved that Muppets thing. Although, having Screech in there is really an insult to Grover.
Playlist: yes
I love the muppett thing and I am usually not the type of person that shows off her blog, but one of my post talks about how taylor swift looks like the muppett from the movie "The Dark Crystal"

Fridge in bedroom: awesome!
Were you at the Tommy Hilfiger store opening this evening? Swear I saw you but didn't want to take the risk of embarrassment otherwise.
If it was you, weren't you cute!
And if not, whooops!
JANUARY JONES! AAAAH!
And I would love a copy of the perfect workout playlist if you get a chance!
ownload "Bang Bang" by K'naan and Adam Levine. Try not to thrust and shrug your shoulders whilst running.
I DARE YOU.
Waiting for all the details!
Grover compared to Screech is an insult to Grover. I'm positive of that!
Yes for workout music!
AND, wiggling in anticipation for your uber exciting news of tonight!
We had a mini-fridge in our bedroom for a year. It was pretty freaking awesome.
And now I have to try frozen rolos. Thanks.
(Also, frozen york peppermint patties are teh awesome. Just so you know.)
A thousand times yes on the playlist. I'm going to be needing a new workout playlist, Monday is the "get your I-sort-of-just-had-a-baby-almost-7-months-ago ass back to the gym" day.
Have a rolo for me, and know that I am once again jealous of your Fashion Week fun, just as I was last year. :-)
"OH METALIA,WE ARE EVER SO CURIOUS! DO TELL, PLEASE!"
...and i want to see the playlist, please :)
