So my Daydream Saddle Shoe by Rachel Antonoff for Bass will be shipping this week! I have been sitting on my hands since I saw the preview on Calivintage.com back in Sepember 2010. In anticipation I have ordered the navy shirt dress, the Old Navy white sweater and a slimmer pair of jeans. On my buy list is a blue blazor an a skirt to maybe go with it. Should I play it safe? Play it feminine? Or play it bold? I am trying to think of other accessories too. I now own sheer white anklet socks but I'm realing gunning for a small neckscarf ala 1950s. Can't wait!

Took My Plant, and Patted It Down.
Sunday events. Bad (for you) McDonalds lunch. Stopped "A Royal Wedding" with Fred Astaire; not enough dancing. Turned on "The Royal Tenenbaums." Questioned getting a land line in order buy a Margot Tenenbaum's phone. Contemplated this came out in 2001, damn. When I graduated high school, double damn.Performed surgery on a coworker's quilted teddy bear; her foster dog mistook it for a inbetwen-meal-snack. Watched some "How I Met Your Mother." Made Swan towel. Watched the last half of "Kate and Leopold." Repotted my aloe plant to Carly Simon. Thinking meatball sub for dinner, yep. Oh and wash underwear, I've been going commando. Where is my meatball sub??Pig Truck Love Affair

Ah, (cough, cough) got me a truck to use fer haulin’ pigs.
It’s a big dirty truck and not clean like other rigs.
My pig haulin’; truck is caked with rust, pig shit and piss.
Ugly, stinkin’ flithy mess, impossible to miss.
We go down the highway, yeah, oink, oink, squeal!
It’s a job, it’s a life, yeah, it’s how I buy my meals.
The engine shakes and groans in the engine well
as my pig truck rolls on the road to little piggy’s hell.
To Disneyland or Canada go families in their mini vans
with the kids waving at the truckers with their sticky hands.
If your little kids ever waved at me it would be a fluke,
’cause my truck is nasty and makes most people puke.
I could of had a different job, driving a different truck.
A beer van, a city bus, even a taxi cab wouldn’t suck,
but like Lucifer, I am a sort of angel that fell,
instead of brimstone or lakes of fire, I have piggy smell.
Pig haulers never cry in their beer, or bitch or whine.
No, we just roll down the road with a truck load of swine.
It’s a lonely life, ya stop up the tears with a cork
’cause if it weren’t for me then you’d have to haul the pork.
It ain’t so bad, ’cause my truck is mine and mine alone
I’m the king of pig hauling, yeah, my truck is my throne.
On my own, I got no boss, or a back that’s ah achin’
the pay is good, so you can say I really bring home the bacon.
When I ride in my pig truck, I thank the Lord above.
Hauling pigs is more than a job, man, it’s an act love.
And some day when I die I hope it’s in my rig.
Don’t bury me, just grind me up and feed me to the pigs.

The Lost Art of Towel Origami

On Claire, my baby sister's, honeymoon she went on a Carnival cruise to Mexico. There was lot of drinking involved and Joe, my brother, chasing chickens down the streets. Claire came back in time for my 24th birthday. She came bringing a statue of a brick guy, a glass chicken and Carnival Towel Creations 40 Designs. While Kathleen wants to sing a Grad school swan song, I can roll a towel swan.

You're #1! You're #1!
At the end of your thesis I will get you something to recognize your awesomeness. You are like a marathon competitor of the mind. Did you ever do Odyssey of the Mind? I always thought you had to be smarter than adults to get to do it, so I never thought I had a chance.
Did you ever wear bike shorts? I was kinda obsessed with them in like 3rd to 5th grade. One of my favorite pairs were black with fluorescent pink strips down the sides.
The ribbons: 3rd place was for 7-8 Girls 25 Freestyle, my time was 23.89, 2nd place was for 7th grade middle school Olympics co-ed tug-of-war (my boyfriend Parker was on my team) and first place was 7-8 Girls 25 Backstroke (my best stroke), my time was 29.34.
I Take My Job Seriously
Kathleen Elizabeth Shaw, I will see your challenge in entertaining you via inspiring posts. Be prepared because between now and Tuesday you don't know what I'll post!
First for your viewing pleasure I have three items currently coming over from jolly England! I have been a fan of Tatty Devine fr a couple of years and finally sent in an order. I ordered The Trapeze Necklace and The Volume Button Brooch (Quantity: Two). Who doesn't wish at one point or another that they could turn my volume down! I invested in two because I would also use them as sweater clips (of course I would put a chain between them).
I am hoping this summer to get the creme de la creme of their necklaces- Dinosaur Necklace! But do I get it in black, gold or white?
NEW and IMMEDIATE TASK
Sarah--
I need you to post and/or email multiple inspiring things so that I have a treat to look at while I try and write 5 pages of a 14 page paper that is DUE ON TUESDAY. I need to take internet breaks frequently and having something specific from you would be a thousand times better than mindless facebook wandering.
Begin.

Wrong Seattle!
Remember umbrella hats? You probably can only buy them at novelty stores now, but for the most part they are multi-primary colored with a band to fit snugly around your forehead.
When I visited Seattle there is such a demand for umbrellas and rain boots, and it made me think how tired my arm would be holding an umbrella if I lived there. The Seattle people tried to also inform me that umbrella hats are out of style.
Well you are wrong Seattle! Straight from Yumi Katsura's Spring/Summer 2011 couture line the elegant bridal lace umbrella hat/gazebo.
