Happy Friday, party people.
I know you’re all out having all the funz right now, and I’m so happy for you. In about five I’ll be headed for my jammies, glasses and a stack of student papers and a 500 page book.

Unimportant query:
What is up with couples who routinely communicate about their life-issues via Facebook. I’m not talking about when one posts a link or a funny status update and the other makes a witty response. That’s just couples being friends, which is nice, you know?
I’m referring to those talking about relationship or life plans… Like, “Mikey-honey, what do you want for...
Sometimes...
I look up home prices in the cities I most want to live in (other than this one, which rates pretty damn high on my list). It’s a strange kind of escapism, but I like being at home a lot so it’s fun to fantasize about being home someplace else.
Yep, I’m some sort of urban hermit.
Ooooh look!

Smokin'
I dearly love to smoke cigarettes, and when I am 80, and no longer concerned about what kinds of degenerative disorders my body might latch on to, I fully plan to start smoking again.
However.
I can’t smoke. It makes me physically sick. If I smoke one night, it’s the next day. If I smoke continuously, it’s always. But I am always jealous of those smoking cigarettes on their...

Today (from my sickbed):
-I decided that to solve my fashion crisis (that has occurred because I am in between sizes and am apparently having a sartorial, existential breakdown) I will start wearing more wrap dresses, as they always look good on me, no matter what size I happen to be.
-I decided that I will buy twelve DVF wrap dresses and just wear them in rotation with some select outfits involving pants.
-I realized...

Sick Day II
I am not really better, which is a little weird. Usually, if I can devote at least one day to complete rest and flushing my system with fluids I at least feel a little better the next day. I do not feel better today. Some of my symptoms from yesterday are gone, but I have new ones in their place. Yay!
This is not anything that I think any of you particularly need to know about. Apologies.

Sick Day
Welcome to hopefully-this-isn’t-the-flu sickday number 1. I wasn’t feeling well yesterday, but I attributed it to an extra hangover day. In fact, I felt unwell all of last week, but didn’t take much notice. I wasn’t getting a lot of sleep. Anyway, I’m here today, on the couch, sick and trying my hardest to stay awake, because I both called in and emailed my office to...

Have I mentioned on here how much I love Pendleton? Or how agonizing it was waiting for photos of their new line, The Portland Collection???
The lookbook is finally out and it is fabulous.
Loving the plaid on plaid shirt and tie for men. And look at all the POCKETS on that dress.
I love the cutout on this top and are words even necessary for the skirt?
That plaid dress...

But then I drank a beer instead. I think I feel better now than I would have if I’d run.

Tea Review
I love Tazo’s Passion Tea. LOVE. IT. It’s probably my absolute favorite decaf tea. I love it hot, I love it iced, I even love it over-priced. I’m willing to buy Passion Tea AT Starbucks when they mix it with lemonade. It’s hard to get it to taste the same at home, but I try anyway.
The thing about Passion Tea is that it is so bright. It’s a deep, dark pink and it...

Last night,
I was full of dreams that woke me at intervals in hot and cold sweats. I have the kinds of dreams that are dazzling and terrifying. When I don’t dream I don’t feel like life is the same, but at times I have dreams that catch my breath for days when I remember them. I have dreams that I remember for years, they are as real as life for me. I wish I could write them, but I’ve tried...

Totally boring announcement:
When I walked into my office the sun was shining and it was a lovely, warm day. When I walked out a short hour later there was a blizzard.
The end.

I prioritized everything all wrong today.
But I did spend at least two hours figuring out insurance crap that had to be dealt with RIGHTNOW, and my house is super-clean. I got a lot done, I just feel really unprepared for the week.
Also, I ate two kinds of sausage: chorizo and vegetarian. Good for me.

OH. GOD.
I have had a little too much caffeine, spent the entire first half of my day doing productive, but not really relevant stuff… AND now I am jittery and anxious that it’s getting dark and I don’t have all my shit together.
So natch, I’m on Tumblr posting about it instead of getting it done.
