Okay, so is it smart to be planning a party in two weeks when you are leaving in two days to leave the country for 10 days? Maybe not..I'm finding out. My lovely accomplice on the planning front, isn't actually so lovely and so most of the work has fallen into my lap. So I'll just do as much as I can before I leave and hopefully she can't find a way to screw it up that much while I'm gone. We shall see.
What I'm reading right now:
Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll (just a lovely book)
Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse (wonderful/insightful Eastern spirituality)
The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway (a suggestion from a friend, I can't believe that I haven't read it before)
Yes, I do read many books at once. I get bored just reading one and frankly I don't read to be bored. All of them I would recommend, at least at this point, and will give my full opinions on when I'm finished.
What I'm wearing right now:
Black and White Houndstooth flats
Dark Jean Gap Capris
Banana Republic White Tank Top (long and comfortable, must buy more)
White Peasant Top
Coral beaded necklace
Not very exciting but, yes, that's me. And if you have been reading my notes (hello anonymous) then you probably already know that. I like classic and clean with just a bit of personality and twist. I'm trying to work on the personality/twist part... my closet with every color J.Crew t-shirt and tank top doesn't really speak to that. Buying in multiples has been my very close friend in the past and now I am realizing it may actually be my enemy.
My shopping wish list right now:
J. Crew braided rope belt with an anchor buckle
J. Crew sail flag bracelet (though I need to see how it fits on my very small wrists)
New 'make you legs look thin/butt look great' pair of jeans
More of these fantastic tank tops from Banana Republic (I only got two before and they are on sale... maybe I'll look online)
The perfect summer bag is also in question. I need a bag that is large enough to carry my planner, books I'm reading, ipod, all the usual purse stuff, bottle of water and whatever little kid trinkets they I happen to gather when nannying. Was using my large Vera Bradley tote.. but I can see its getting worn and not particularly liking being tossed around. Its a retired pattern so I must remember to be gentle. So for now its an LL Bean canvas tote (very durable) with blue straps. Perfect amount of space but no pockets.. this could be a problem. We shall see how it goes. Isn't every women always in search of the perfect bag?
On another note, why is it when some people do you a "favor" its really, truly painful to you? This is no favor! You are not being nice! It stops being a favor when you mention how wonderful you are for doing the favor.
Not particularly exciting today... but thats just what's on my mind.
