The number 9, because it’s my birthday.
A mix of both. I’m mostly outgoing, but sometimes when I feel like I don’t have anything in common with the people around me I’ll be more of an observer.
They don’t really do much for my soul. I prefer shiny things, ya know?
Just moisturizer so far. Later on today I think I’ll bust out some Chanel, because I’m in the mood to channel Coco.
The Time Traveler’s Wife, by Audrey Niffenegger. I can’t wait to read her new book, Her Fearful Symmetry.
A big fat yay! Slice them, fry ’em in a little butter, add some salt and pepper and YUM!
Soap & Glory’s Off Your Face Cleansing Cloths ($7). The wipes feel so soft, and the minty scent instantly wakes me up.
Plaid shorts, grey tank top, terry cloth robe. It’s still early, and I quite literally just rolled out of bed.
Stay relaxed, give Tabs extra loving and playtime (he’s been very interested in the front door as of late), make a new running music playlist, avoid picking my pimples (an old bad habit), stick to my deadlines.
Good morning, gals!
Dawn is breaking here in Nor Cal. I woke up earlier than usual because I was having a dream about aggressive wild turkeys chasing me around a pumpkin patch. It was funny and scary at the same time. 🙂
