i am with a guy that will not stop talking to his ex girlfriend. he tells he doesn't love her and i am the only girl for him, he also says that he wants to marry me. i feel like i made a mistake of introducing him to my mother because his ex is still living at a condo that they used to live in and she is still driving the BMW he got her.

Will Phillips isn't like other boys his age.
For one thing, he's smart. Scary smart.

So, I've been with this guy for 11 months now....he told me when we went to a friends angagement party (when we'd only been together for about three months) that he had thought about asking me to move in, but thought that three months was too soon, then he said maybe in another three months. So, now it's been seven more months and he hasn't bought it up again at all...not once.
It's not that I feel like I have to move in with him right now, we spend heaps of time together anyway.

Although production takes place in a spacious Dumbo atelier instead of a tiny apartment, chips of Lucite still litter the floor of a room where giant blocks are whittled down by hand into chunky cuffs, teardrop earrings and knuckle-engulfing rings. The staff has swelled to 160, but Bittar still personally hand carves the prototype of each new piece in his collections. All of the designs’ luminous, jewel-like colors and intricate patterns are hand painted, and embellishments like studs or crystals are manually applied.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sarah Palin's new book reprises familiar claims from the 2008 presidential campaign that haven't become any truer over time. Ignoring substantial parts of her record if not the facts, she depicts herself as a frugal traveler on the taxpayer's dime, a reformer without ties to powerful interests and a politician roguishly indifferent to high ambition.
Palin goes adrift, at times, on more contemporary issues, too.

Kurt from Glee has nothing to do with this story, but the picture of the kid in question was too small
For one thing, he's smart. Scary smart. A student in the West Fork School District in Washington County, he skipped a grade this year, going directly from the third to the fifth.

I always knew they existed - I have seen their chic dresses, sexy heels and cool tops. I am talking about Topshop. I got even excited when I found out that they opened a store in NYC, although I live in Denver, Colorado. I must say things come around a lot slower around here and don't get me wrong, there are nice stores here, but it's not to the point where they satisfy my fashion cravings.
This is when the beauty of online shopping comes in handy. My friend Sophie loves to shop online. She says that it's the best because she can buy things anytime,even in 2 in the morning, not have to worry about driving to the mall ( and not finding anything at the mall!!) and in most cases there's no sales tax and a little shipping and usually the return and exchange are easy.
I must say I was never comfortable of buying clothes online. Shoes and bags, I'm OK with. With clothes, things are different simply because every brand has slightly different sizing and all. Topshop seemed no exceptions. It's from UK, and I know sometimes the equivalent of those sizes can be confusing...( look at H&Ms!)
One day, as I was looking through tons of pictures as always - new trends, jackets and coats for fall and winter. And there it was. I fell in love with this striped knit jacket from Topshop. I looked at the price and fell in love with it even more - it's only $80!!
Knitted Stripe Jacket
$80.00 at Topshop
I had to go to the store - but wait, there is no Topshop here in Denver! As I envied those folks in NYC, I went online. I quickly navigated myself to look for the jacket and there it was! I want, I want! Pause. What is my size?
Suddenly, I was lost. I usually wear 2 or 4, depending on the brand. I have jackets and tops that run rather smaller and larger and what????? While all those thoughts kept going around my head, I looked up on the sizing chart. Hmmm....I think I am 4 but I don't want it to be too tight since it's a knit jacket....oh well, let's just order 6 in case and if it didn't fit, I'd just exchange it.

The Absolutely Worst Bill Ever
By Peter Ferrara on 11.11.09 @ 6:08AM
"The Worst Bill Ever." That is the title the always calm and rational Wall Street Journal put on its editorial on November 1 about the government health care takeover bill that passed the House last week on virtually a party line vote, 220-215. But even this label doesn't fully communicate the outright assault on the American people involved in this legislation.

Dear Savvy,
I recently got a letter in the mail from a local car dealership requesting that I trade in my 2001 VW Passat, saying that they are getting lots of requests and stating the blue book value for my car. I wouldn't mind buying a new car, but promised myself I would drive my car until it is unrepairable or I graduate from college, whichever comes first. I still have two more years to go, but if this offer is legitimate, I don't want to let the opportunity go.
