the daybook: excuse my lack of monday-ness. Sometimes that day just needs to be ignored.

Tuesday, March 22

142 excuse my lack of monday-ness. Sometimes that day just needs to be ignored.

Shoes: c/o Threadsence, Jeans: F21, Top: American Eagle, Sunnies: UO, Traveling Bag: Le Mode Accessories
You know what's kind of disappointing? Waking up at 5:21 exactly to the sound of lovely chirping birds and thinking to yourself that today is going to be a warm day. Only to realize that those chirping birds are actually your husband's irregular breathing directly into your ear and that it snowed last night for the first time in weeks. Happy Spring to me.

Also, happy Tuesday to you.
From me. And from my traveling bag. I received it from the lovely Mara
and next it's headed off to miss Kendi
and I'm afraid I'm gonna have a hard time parting ways with it at the post office today.

It's so huge and everything. I could probably fit my entire pottery barn book collection in there.

Not that that's relevant.

Miken March 22, 2011 10:01 AM: girl you basically look good in anything you wear. you have the body type that everyone wants! i must say though, that i LOVED your blonde hair/no bangs look. but that's just me. it's fun to change things up and try new things but i hope you go back to that sooner or later. i miss it! i've dyed my hair a bazillion different colors (every color in the rainbow!) and had short hair, long hair, bangs, no bangs so i know how it is to just need change... in the end it doesn't really matter but anyway... just pointing out what i like. lol... like the novel?
Bridget March 22, 2011 10:05 AM: hahaha the bird chirps actually being husband's breathing and it actually having snowed thing made me lol.
