This time I did not go alone and this time I brought gloves.

I dug through the bins of stuff and yet again weighed my finds in at a whopping blank lbs. Only to find out I only spent around $14 today! I had fun going through everything when I got home.

Seriously, keeping up with my blog has been insanely crazy. I have been addicted to Tweetdeck lately. So, I am blogging in less characters daily. Follow me @ginaivey

Lazy

I absolutely love Bravo TV. I'm watching Tabatha right now. This show is great. It kind of reminds of the things I need to keep in mind for my own job. I am so looking forward to Kell on Earth too. And I finally got caught up on a few episodes of the Real Housewives of OC. My favorite is really NYC. I put them in order for my husband last night...#1 is RHofNY #2 is RHofATL and #3 is RHofOC.

Lately I've hit up some MTV too for the show with the pregnant teens. What's it called? And of course, the train wreck known as, Jersey Shore. BTW, my facebook generated Jersey Shore name is the Appointment. heh?

Wait, did the coyotes really take daisy? Wait, really? http://twitpic.com/hrudr

I missed the VMA's because I thought True Blood took precedence

However, I should have not watched True Blood (because the finale sucked) and watched the VMAs.

The opening. Very appropriate. Even better because Madonna was up there in all of greatness. I love MJ and yes, I think people are crazy when they bring up his boy molesting. Puh-lease. He was crazy, but damn, his music was GRAND, large, hot, the best.

Russell Brand wants to be my boyfriend. He just doesn't know it yet. He makes me laugh and I really like watching him move around in those ridiculous pants. However, if a man I knew wore those pants, the relationship might be over. No, I'm kidding. I wouldn't be able to stop staring.

Kanye. Well, I am not even going to contribute to that craziness. Why are you so surprised? But I do need to say one thing. Beyonce is 500 times better than Taylor Swift.

Tracy Morgan. I care for him and his funny self. Eminem. I care very little for.

Lady Gaga, dang. I really love her and she is, I am going to say it, a genius. Actually, she just might be a genius at media stunts cause man, that g is crazy. And Michael and I totally laughed at the dancer with the thong stuck over his face. That was cute. Now when she broke out with the blood I almost lost it but instead, held my composure and cocked my head to one side. Another dang moment. My favorite part of lady gaga is when she broke out into the blood. Bring on the blood. But my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE GAGA MOMENT. See the pic. You gotta love that girl. (I really do) That girl knows how to get some attention.

Green Day. I saw them live in July and I fell in love. They deserve an OMGTSG. That stands for Oh Ma Gooness They So Good.

Beyonce. Oh hell. I really love her. I danced on the couch to her performance and then had enough nerve to look at Michael and wave my hand in his face as Beyonce does. I like dancing like Beyonce. She gets an OMGSSG.

Muse. They're kinda neat. Makes me want to wear black nail polish, black lipstick and fishnets.

[Michael just told me Patrick Swayze died. I might need to sing some "She's Like the Wind" RIP, man. I will watch Dirty Dancing before the week's end]

Wow, I really just saw Adam Brody. Long time no see. See the Russell Brand comments. They apply here too, except for the pants.

Back to Eminem. I used to really like him but he dogged two of my girls this year. I don't like him anymore.

Pink. I don't care for her much. But, I must say, that was pretty impressive. Was she really singing?

The Hills preview. Ok, I am coming out about this. I really love The Hills. They are so drama status. I crave it because there isn't enough in my life, really. Will Kristin make me not want to watch this anymore? We will see.

SNL guys. Jimmy Fallon makes me crazy. He is so fun.

VOY. I started dancing again when Beyonce came on. That was cool of Beyonce to let ol' Swifty come out. Might I add, those heels were fiiiieeeerce.

Rhapsody commercial for Jay-Z. Ooh, I liked that. I liked it aluht.

And then Jay-Z comes on with Alicia Keyes. It couldn't have been better. Can I move to New York now?

Oh wait, one more thing. I wonder if Kanye got jumped before and during the after party.

Oooooh, MJ is on again, the real King of Pop.

Shall I just install a toilet in my vehicle?

I could tell some stories about public restrooms. Hell, I could probably do a nice lengthy picture book, provided I stuck around long enough to hold my camera up in some of the worst bathrooms ever. First things first though, I would need to stomach looking at them, holding my camera over the nastiness and finally "shooting" where someone else has "shot" their rottenness all over the place.

You know how it is...you walk into a public restroom and push open the first stall ( I like the first stall because that's the one you hear has the least amount of wrongness in it...not sure where I've heard that tho) door to check the damage. I use my foot most of the time to push for fear that my hands will touch something unknown and icky. Sometimes the first stall is the cleanest. Sometimes it's super dirty where someone just couldn't get it into the toilet. Ewww. That just sets the tone for the other 3 or 4 that you get to evaluate. When the first one looks bad you know for sure this ain't going to be good and you just have to rate out of the four which one is the best. Oh, the choices we're left with sometimes.

Now, I am the kind of person that will come out of a public bathroom and will describe in length to whomever is with me what the experience is like... if it is extreme "OMG i loved that restroom you gotta go in there" or if it's a "OMG, don't go in there" kind of restroom. If it is ok, well those mediocre types just don't get a review.

The latest and greatest story happened last Friday, 21 August 09 in Marshall's in Merchant's Walk on Broad Street in Richmond, VA. This is one of my places to be. Not the bathroom, but the store. Mid-shop I have the urge to go. I make it back to the bathrooms. I know where these things are in just about every retail location in Central VA. It's amazing right. My bladder is that of a 90 year old or pregnant lady. So I make it back to the layaway place because that is where the bathroom is. For all of you that need to know...hang a left past lingerie. So I go into the women's restroom almost doing the "dance". First thing I notice- the toilet is no longer white. Second thing- the floor was just not right. I fear going into detail here...just picture someone slinging mud all over the place. Was there toilet paper to top it off? No, of course not. What did people use? They used the paper towels that were a plenty. Did it prohibit the toilet from flushing? Yep, the toilet was just a build up of all of the above. I feel ill typing this up. I went home after my Marshall's trip and took a shower.

I'm going to skip forward a bit...i can write more reviews later...

My RVA restroommendations?

Nordstrom at Short Pump- this is my fave with their full length mirrors to top it off.

Texas de Brazil- Oh, I could move into this one.

Target- ooh it smells like fruity pebbles and usually has a well kept log on the door of bathroom maintenance. Thank you Target team members. Now have I ever seen a groos Target bathroom? Yes, but not usual.

Sheetz- The music plays loud so you don't have to hear your neighbor.

Wawa- Some of my friends say "oh hell no" to this one, but I haven't seen a bad one yet.

I can come up with more...however, when it gets late all I can think about is getting to my clean bed.

More to come...
