I Like It Here. It’s Nice.
I’m in Florida! With wireless! And sun! I wasn’t here for ten minutes before my sister slapped a blood-filled mosquito off my shoulder.
What Are You Wearing?
It’s Thursday, my busy day, so you know what that means. What are you wearing? Today I started off by grabbing a pair of Old Navy khakis out of the spring side of the closet. TOO TIGHT. After I kicked the cat and stomped my feet for a while, the geekboy reminded me that I’m on the rag and might be a bit bloated. And you know what? I never liked those pants anyway. CHARITY PILE! Pulled out some more Old Navy – a pair of wide-leg brown pants instead in a size higher. Totes comfy although I have to keep hiking them up. Stupid low-rise pants. I’m too old. Anyway, I paired the pants with a button-down shirt that has brown, blue and grey flowers. Brown loafers on the feets and boy I really like brown, eh?
Off to the dentist. Then off to the office. Then back here to pack for Florida!
Wherefore Art Thou, Kid?
Today it’s pleasant enough outside to have my office window open. I’ve been sitting here all afternoon feeling like something is missing. It’s quiet. Too quiet. Finally, I remember. I look across the street and, lo, the garage door is closed. Skateboard Boy and his family are on vacation.
UPDATE 4:38PM: They are not on vacation after all! Skateboarding has commenced; all is right with the world.
New Crap
I went shopping yesterday with my mom, who treated me to some very cute new cargo shorts and some cropped pants. I know that the What Not To Wear people say that short women shouldn’t wear cropped pants, but they can suck it. I like them. I also picked up this adorable dress at Target. No idea why they cut off the model’s head, unless it’s an homage to Britney on South Park? Also grabbed some new makeup as well – has anyone used the Sonia Kashuk brand before? I adore the packaging, the way it all screws together into one piece!
Last night I dyed my hair, too. The color is nice but I think I’m ready to go a little lighter next time. I used this color but obviously it goes on darker on brown hair.
I don’t know why I just told you all that, but there you go.
I Thought She Was Cute
I thought Britney did a decent job on last night’s How I Met Your Mother. The episode as a whole wasn’t the funniest they’ve ever done, but the storyline was sweet and I thought Britney played the dorky receptionist just fine. She even made me laugh out loud once or twice.
