Chanel Ivory Ballet Slippers

I love a milky ivory ballet slipper with black accents. Although, I think I'd love them even more if the accents were navy. Hmm?

I'll be better.

Dope Find of the Day

And another one..

Is it just me, or is Barbie looking a little ethnic? Just me, huh? Meh.

I've seen these posts done before and thought it'd be fun to do one of my own. I realize that you probably don't care what's in my purse, but that's not of my concern. You're going to look in my bag and like it!

[Clears throat.]

-First up, we have the ULTRA, Top Secret Handy Dandy Notebook. I can't leave home without it. It feels like I'm not wearing any pants.

-Why, yes. That is two pair of sunglasses. Very imperative. Neither are particularly neutral.

-A plethora of writing utensils. I feel like people who can never find something to write with are unorganized and don't take themselves seriously. So, naturally, I overcompensate.

-A wallet that my parents got me for Christmas. It's like a grown up Trapper Keeper.
(Don't act like you don't remember Trapper Keepers.)

-Carmex. It is, indeed, so cold in the D.

-My checkbook. Complete with animal print checks. I couldn't resist.

-My crackberry. Naturally.

-My Digital Camera.

Fascinating, isn't it?

Dope Find of The Day

Don't ask me how I came across this today. I can assure you, my train of thought is way too abstract. I've now been reading this lady's blog for an hour and a half and she's absolutely delightful. Here's one of her posts. You can view her blog here.

Ode to a Bag Boy

Here’s to you, grocery store bag boy. He who stands at the end of the conveyor belt, vacant look upon youthful acne-prone face. Your indifference to your surroundings so poignant, so profound. Casually you fill my bags with vegetables and chicken, taking care to separate the two.

I pretend not to notice that you gave the celery it’s own bag. I understand, Bag Boy. I’ve heard that celery is the most angry vegetable in the bunch. Like a Siamese fighting fish, it’s best not paired with anything else. I guess. Or perhaps that’s your one joy, making one bag always hold a singular item. A sunny spot in an otherwise fluorescent light existence.

I know you wear many hats, Bag Boy — facing the shelves so all the Newman’s Own pasta sauce is in an even row, stacking salsa at the end of the aisles and occasionally, rounded up shopping carts left in the parking lot. I try to do my part and always return mine to the specified shopping cart daycare so that you, Bag Boy, don’t have to gather mine from a dark parking space. I know you appreciate it and just forgot to say thank you. I understand.

You’re more complex than you come across. Your iPod plays the rhythm of some obscure indie band, I’m sure, touching you so deeply you forget to wear your belt to work, causing you to hike up your sagging pants while simultaneously handling my yogurt. Don’t be fresh, now. And it makes you unique, you know, to wear your hat sideways instead of to the front.

So here’s to you, grocery store Bag Boy. He of reusable shopping bags and double coupons. I look forward to seeing you next week.

Note the number of comments left on any given post of hers.
You, my reluctant readers, are slipping.

Vid Pick

Just a few things:
1. Is it me, or does this kid look like an adult?
2. Not only that, but doesn't he look like the college guy who's a tool and drunk in the club?
3. I've always just assumed that people who own pianos are advocates of good music. Guess not.

Cute kid though.

Change IV A Dollar.

Did you get the memo?

Change IV A Dollar

Oh! Almost forgot.

I had the wonderful opportunity to view the tragedy that was MSU first hand, via the AT&T Suite. The set up was very nice, to say the least. The game, meh, not so much. Although I will say this, whoever makes the highlight reels for sports deserves a
6-figure salary. Every highlight or promo video they aired gave me chills, and I hardly follow college basketball.

We also got the chance to watch MJ (THE MJ)get inducted into the Hall of Fame, along with a David Robinson and a few other guys I didn't know about because they played the game before I started to follow it.

I'm still a MSU fan. GO GREEN! Woot Woot!

Ode To..

Ode To:

Christian Louboutin.

Okay so, I realize I'm half-cheating. This could easily be considered a Dope Shoe Blog but Louboutin deserves his own
Ode To.
mmm..signature red soles.
