Two Things....

As you can see I have had the Obama book on my sidebar for about a month now and let's just say it's currently being used as a coaster and pizza box holder next to my bed. I really tried to get into it and even plowed my way through the first 70 pages, but can't make myself read another sentence. It's not engaging and at some points terribly confusing. I'm sure President Obama is a very eloquent and talented writer at this stage in his life, but for one of his first shots at writing I wasn't a huge fan. (Sorry Mr. President - but don't be too worried we were all amateurs at one stage...)

So I have decided to abandon the cause and give it back to Lindsay for something new. Anyone have any new recommendations for my daily commute? I think I would like to read a non-fiction maybe biography of sorts - who has a good one?

Secondly.....

I was reading my favorite JCREW blog this morning and just about spit my latte all over my computer screen when I read the latest post. Apparently JCREW has been sending out special 'thank you' gifts to certain customers filled with free shipping codes, as well as heirloom earrings - valued at 45 freaking dollars!! So here's what I would like to know...

HOW THE HELL do these people get chosen to receive these seemingly random presents?? AND where's mine?!! It certainly cannot be based on the amount of money spent in the past 12 months, because at least 65% of every paycheck I received in Chicago went to the latest and greatest of the JCREW line. {Mom, I'm only joking I'm sure it wasn't that much :) }

So if I have any JCREW marketing or promotions executives reading along with my blog, please kindly leave a comment or even send me an email, and I will gladly update my new address in your system so you can send my 'thank you' directly to my doorstep.

{PS TO THE JCREW EXECS: YES IT WAS THAT MUCH WHEN DO I GET TO HAVE SOME FUN!}
