mixing it up


i went today with my friend, to Boulder. it is her birthday and she wanted to go to a couple new stores. i said, (sigh) "twist my arm". i have been working hard this week. to be honest, it's like the most hard i've worked in the time that i've been here for six years.





it was SO nice to get out there and to not be at work, when i was supposed to be. o.k., i wasn't playing hooky or anything. i had worked overtime and in these hard economic times, the bossman wanted me to leave and take time off, rather than pay. makes sense.








we went to this store. i'm not a shopper. i don't really love it, i have a hard time spending time doing it, and usually, i'm not the most happy when i'm doing it. something about today was different. i bought this dress:

if you can imagine in your mind how it feels: like a cloud.

yes, it's that good. got it?

then, i got a little black dress. it's cotton, but made by Patagonia, and well, what can i say, everything in that store was so cute when we tried it on, we literally had to stop trying things on. it was like a funny, surreal dream. nice

we went to look at some glasses for my friend. found some for $230. now, i'll let you know when i'm good at things, and one thing that i AM good at: finding bargains. we went home, and i found them for $180 instead. it makes me SO happy to find a deal, i think, even more so when i find one for someone else.

i also got some laces for my shoes during the triathlon. they are pink. and cute, even though they are just for function.

what a great day!

Cute dress! Boulder has some wonderful shops but I like to find things for less online, too. Good job!

I like the dress too. I almost bought a peach one with a similar shape yesterday but I was too lazy to try it on. I like the pictures from your last post by the way. Have you figured out what the other herbs are?

i think they are basil, oregano and the one on the right, for sure, is thyme. i used it last night with pork chops and it was fab. it was in an "italian" garden set, so what would an italian garden set be, without oregano?

a little something about me and the life i choose to live!
