BLUE pt. 2

I try not to buy things when I'm feeling blah. However, I think that this guy will be mine in a few days:

Kimchi Menswear Tote 

At some point, I'd like to buy this guy as well:

The Brothers Bray & Co.

If I've learned anything with past bags, it's that having only a black bag or only a brown bag doesn't cut it. I need one of each. (Plus I really like that both bags' structures help balance the formality or lack of formality of their colors.)

I'M BLUE.

I have a feeling that this would help:

Or this:

 

(sigh) Come here, Cujo. Mom needs a cuddle.

Put away the claws.

CHECK THIS GUY OUT

And his white, slightly shorter cousin (who has obviously been photo-shopped but we'll look past it):

I really love candy green...but the white would look so good in my soon-to-be gray living room! Now, if only they had a navy version, I'd be set.

Stools sold on Overstock for $84.99 and $83.99, respectively.

CURL UP AND REVEL, MY PRETTIES

If this was my bed, I'd never leave it.

And if this was my bed (and room), I'd bound out of bed in the morning, full of energy...

Living, Etc. 10/2007

...and I'm not sure which is better. :)

101 in 1001 -- UPDATE!

72) Make time for reading fiction: one novel a month. (0/33)

In progress!

This might sound silly, but the reason I put this on my list is simply because I miss reading stories. As an anthropology major, I spend a lot of my free time reading, and the majority of what I read is either reference material or non-fiction. Don't get me wrong, I'm choosing to read those things because I want to...but they're not exactly easy or light. Then during my winter break, I bought and read a novel, and it was so nice. :) I want to bring fiction back into my life, so I'm giving myself permission to read for fun from now on.

This month's book:

I've heard good things. :)

PINK

Originally, this post was just going to be about the awesomeness of this:

A plus, tad carpenter. A plus.

Then it became about Valentine's Day. Even though I really do hate the holiday.

I'm not usually interested in pink of any kind, but all of the pale pink that's floating around the internet right now is grabbing my attention. There might be a flower arrangement for the dining room in my immediate future.
