modern shopping
so i’ve realized lately that I have begun to frequently utilize my iphone as a digital mirror when shopping alone. I seriously feel like alicia silverstone in the opening scene of “clueless” when she says that she never trusts mirrors so she takes polaroids of herself to chose an outfit (i don’t think this is a good thing). since the beginning of time i have been a lousy decision maker with life’s little details, and although i’ve improved somewhat in my semi-adulthood, i still prefer to have one good opinion from a friend/husband/mom before closing in on my final choice when shopping. (even if this opinion is completely regarded disregarded… sorry ryan). I have in recent days even resorted to texting ryan photos from the dressing room to get an opinion… i know this is sad. does anyone else do this or I am an iphone crippled super dork?
humm… in other life, mom and i took an amazing trip to SF two weekends ago to visit john and susie. we had PERFECT weather, sunny and super breezy the whole time, with just a touch of rain tuesday morning as we were driving to the airport to come home. John and susie were really great tour guides and hiked all over the city with us showing us their favorite little shops, eats, parks etc. i love seeing them in their little neighborhood “bombing” around as we call it in the yarbrough house. i always love seeing my loves in their everyday surroundings, it helps me so much to be able to picture where they are when we are on the phone catching up during the months when we are so far away. mom and i even got to go to susie’s first ultrasound and we saw the new peanut on the big screen, kicking away and looking super cute and baby-like!! S&J have decided to not find out boy vs. girl which i think adds a bit of excitement to the whole process (fun fun!). since the trip, i’ve been dreaming up my new niece/nephew sewing/knitting projects, so i’ll keep you updated as things progress. so far i’m considering gender neutral or non-gender annoying colors and prints to begin with. overall, it was a great trip and fun to travel with my mom, an all too rare treat these days.
work is good, my schedule changed so now i have mondays off! three day weekends every week! as delightful as this is, i’m having to adjust to working 4 ten hours days straight and have been pretty tired at the end of the weeks. i’m sure i’ll get used to it soon and will really be able to enjoy the flexibility of a long weekend…. okay, done for now, more soon. leaving you today with a few may/june favorites…
1. glee (gave up on it initially, but reintroduced to the soundtracks by J&S and now i’m hooked) 2.
