CSA Happiness

Signed up for our CSA today - May through October of veggies, fruit and flowers! Delivered less than 2 blocks from our house! Yay!

downswing

I haven't seen any clothing/shoes/new fashion I like in a long time.  So I'm going to take a Fashion Break.  Nothing is exciting or interesting me right now.

I did buy 2 tennis skirts (built-in shorts, pockets!) for my upcoming tennis camp (starts 2 weeks from today!)  I've been working out/cardio-ing my face off for weeks now in preparation... I think I'm ready.

My husband is canoeing today; I'm reading, writing, baking bread and preparing myself for the next week of my life, which is going to be utterly insane.  I think I'm ready for that too :\

success!

The dress I've been lusting after for weeks has gone on sale and so I bought it.

So springy, so gorgeous!

Forever 21 and Charity

All sales on Forever 21's site today are going to Japan for earthquake and tsunami relief.

tonight, tonight

Crystal Castles @ the TLA.  Really excited about the show after reading this review from Chicago.

Painted my nails black, and picking out my gothiest outfit (ha).

After the show: beers and Lorenzo's.  Tomorrow: have the day off with my husband, sleeping in and probably eating more pizza.

uck.

Been battling a stomach virus for a couple days now.  Made cornbread this afternoon, it's the only thing I can handle looking at, smelling, or eating.

But the Phillies are on TV, and that helps.

regrets

I hate coming back from a shopping trip with regrets.  I was trying to save a little dough, but now I wish I'd just bought the damn dress.  Hopefully this can be rectified.

In other news, I'm an amazing personal shopper.  Seriously.  Hire me.

whew!

Been so busy recently, and lots of exciting stuff is on the horizon (I booked not one but TWO vacations on Thursday, for starters).  Made bread today, read three books this week, got a haircut, and went to see Tennis and La Sera last night.  Good show, I felt like I was seeing something special in the early stages - Tennis is so utterly adorable it hurts to look at them.  She looks straight out of a "Don't Copy That Floppy" ad from 1986, and he has James Spader down to a T, sockless penny loafers and all.  I sang along and drank three cans of Sofia, the most perfect drink ever created for shows: small portion, in a can, with a bendy straw.  So conducive to dancing your face off.

Tonight is the Dum Dum Girls, in about 90 minutes.  It feels good to go out two nights in a row.
And tomorrow is a personal shopping gig :)

aviary

Sweet lord in heaven.

When will spring come!?

ASOS sale

ASOS is having a decent sale right now: 20% off the ASOS collection, and free shipping.

I think I'll get that horse tunic I've been eying.
