Limey

I respect and adore his clothing, but why must Alexander Wang make such simple clothing so ridiculously expensive? I do enjoy a nice racer-back tank dress, but not at $90! A cheaper alternative (although not as long) is this AE Pocket Halter for $19.50.

I was eying (eye-ing? it looks weird) it at the mall the other day because I feel like my wardrobe needs a nice lime *pop* in the springtime. I should also make a stop by American Apparel since they tend to have really cute basics in tons of colors. Plus, my white v-neck is getting a bit too worn out and I need a replacement!

Oh, Edward Cullen...

I swear I'm not a 14-year-old teenybopper.

Anyone want to watch Twilight with me?? It's, shockingly, still out in some theaters! Now that I've read two out of four books in the series, I need to watch the movie.

I would start reading the third book, but I don't want to pay more than $10, so I'm waiting for it to be published as a paperback novel :)

On to weirder news... I think I have another abscess in my mouth/jawline. I had one when I got my wisdom teeth out, so I'm not sure why I would get another one 4 years later, but it feels the same. If it isn't an abscess, I have no clue what this lump/uncomfortable spot is. I'm starting to think I'm being cursed for hating my former students. -_-

Time for bed!

Re-do

I really need to re-do my nail polish. My nails have grown a centimeter since the last time I painted them, and I want to try another color. Preferably something brighter than the old dark blood red :)

Crate and Barrel

If I could have everything in C&B's inventory I would be the happiest little non-homeowner in the world! The chance to decorate/furnish my own home is what I look forward to when I move out.

... Aside from living with Darryl and being independent, of course :)

Today I went there to buy some "Round Au Gratin" dishes in preparation for homemade chicken pot pies. Hopefully my lazy cooking streak ends and I decide to go grocery shopping Thursday. I haven't had a cooking post in SO long that I think I'm going to force myself to cook Thursday.

...and for a future post, I've been meaning to use some two buck Chuck from TJ's, so maybe next week I'll make something that requires red wine. Any suggestions?? I was thinking of making this red wine risotto that Giada does, but I want something more substantial than that. Maybe a coq au vin type of dish... or a rich pot roast? (Two buck chuck is probably too cheap for coq au vin, hehe)

Humdeedum...

Bored and not ready to go to sleep.

I was able to get out of jury duty by answering the prosecutor's questions in a way she didn't like :) I wasn't lying to her! I just knew that I couldn't be impartial the way she wanted me to be, so I made it clear when she got up to ask us questions individually.

I went out and bought New Moon so that when I finish Twilight (hopefully within a day or two) I can dive right into the next book. I'm excited :)

I think I may be getting sick again... one of my tutees has been sick and my mom has also been sick. I've also been a bit sleep deprived due to jury duty and early basketball games (UGH UCLA!) so that isn't helping my immune system.

Speaking of basketball games... UCLA failed me this weekend when they lost to Washington State. I'm not terribly upset because I figured this year could never live up to the success of the past 3 years, but I was hoping we would at least be the Pac-10 champ. Josh Shipp failed me even more, though. How does he miss crucial lay-ups??? One was a wide open, nobody-was-defending-him, momentum changing shot in the last 2 minutes. UGH!
