The Carrie Diaries

This morning, as I walked into my office I heard SpongeBob laughing dementedly as only SpongeBob can - so I braced myself for whatever mischief he was in to this time... I followed that eerie "Haaaa hhhaaaaaaa haaaaaa heeeee heeeee read this again!!!" over to the normally quiet area of the office where the fax machine is located and goodness gracious...

described in text
...behold what I found. The Pointy Haired Boss utterly speechless by one of Carrie Bradshaw of Sex In The City's goofier antics. In fact he must have read something so shocking and salacious his hair was on end.

And can't you just hear what Carrie would think of his hair and his awful blue suit?

I pulled the "Carrie's Diaries" away from him. He let go most reluctantly, and put the "read me" tape dispenser back in my (this time) locked desk drawer. I told old Pointy Hair that he had to wait until I finished reading the book before he could read it, if and only if I thought it was appropriate... After all there are a lot of young, impressionable characters running around in the office as you might know.

I won this book in a Giveaway!

Ultra cool blogger Heather over at Joy De Vivre Design is having a Sex In The City countdown for the new movie that comes out this Thursday! I've always enjoyed looking at Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) and could look at her for hours and hours and hours... So this was a neat giveaway prize!

Heather's blog also has a couple other interesting features - one is her "Happy Monday" entries and the other is a "Have You Seen This Etsy Shop?" where she searches high and low for the most amazing crafters and then arranges a Giveaway of those really nifty items!

Thank you Heather for the book and for having a blog worth visiting repeatedly!

Congrats, Iggy! I only saw a few of the shows many years ago and never really followed it. I'll have to look and see who Charlotte is--hehe! :)

Yes, you have to be careful those young minds aren't corrupted by things like that.
