Insomnia sucks. what color did you paint the bathroom?
ok, I do like dark chocolate (doesn't have to be 80, but does have to be 70+%), i LOOOOOOOVE lemon bars and could eat them all day, and I do like York peppermint patties a lot. So much so that in college, a friend mailed me a care letter with 5 patties in the envelope :).
so i guess we have some overlap in food tastes, despite my list being your worst nightmare! haha.
what shoes did you get?? Im working on REALLY cheap white flats...that i can dance in alll night...suggestions??
dr. a - the paint is officially called chocolate sparkle. It is sort of a medium purplely-brown. It is kind of muted and not as bold as a plum-type purple.
phizzle dizzle - It is hard to go wrong with chocolate, although I have met a few odd people who don't like it. Your friend must be awesome to send you such a tasty treat.
My intense dislike of cheese makes me find many peoples favorite snacks horrific. People sure do like to smother stuff in cheese. :)
rhea miller - I have not bought a pair of shoes yet. I want something with a heel, but it needs to be somewhat comfortable. I love shoes and I am willing to spend a fair amount if I can wear them other clothes. I am thinking something with a sturdier heel will be fairly comfortable, but so far most of them are a little too casual. I'll let you know when I come to a decision.
My advice would be to check out Nordstrom (on-line selection is gigantic). Believe it or not, they have some of the best prices on shoes. Yes, some of them are insanely expensive, but many of them are in a very affordable range and all of their shoes are priced competitively. The best part is that they are having their semi-annual sale right now...so you can save a bundle.
Did you ever find a dress?
I'm totally with you on the dark chocolate...I could really use some right now in fact and all we've got in the lab goodie drawer is Halloween candy...so not going to cut it.
AA-Yeah. That just won't work. However, at least your lab snack drawer has something in it. All we have is an opened, 1yr old box of raisins. :) Why we haven't thrown them away is anyone's guess.
Wedding planning is going well i suppose...its fun, but not entirely my cup o tea...
I have got a date...July 18 09; a place...in the mountains CO; a dress; i think i have a caterer...yay cheap BBQ; a photographer; and ideas for invites/gifts/etc. BUT THERE IS SO MUCH LEFT TO DO...WTF?!?!?!
How about you???
hahahahaha...eeeeek, dont tell johnny about the dress...i forgot that internet is so open and he's not suppose to see it...oops.
And (P.S.) i will check out Nordstrom...thanks!!
Ooooo beautiful!!!!!
