I know, I know.\u00a0 I owe y’all a new post.\u00a0 I actually have one in the works which started out as a cute concept but proved to be too difficult to execute.\u00a0 So, like everything else difficult in my life, I’ve decided to give up on it.\u00a0 At least for now.<\/p>\n

In the meanwhile, you, my loyals readers, will just have to bear with yet another ill-conceived, stream-of-consciousness, random hodgepodge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since I’m sure you’re all dying to know what purse I currently covet, here it is.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Isn’t\u00a0it great?\u00a0 Can’t you just see me walking along the beach with it at sunset?\u00a0 I showed\u00a0the purse\u00a0to my sister, who first scoffed\u00a0at the notion that I was contemplating yet another purse purchase, then drooled when she saw it and started emptying out her piggy bank (she’s a student).\u00a0<\/p>\n

I also really like these shoes:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I see these resting on my feet as I sip a latte at a cute European cafe.<\/p>\n

When not dreaming of trips to the tropics or\u00a0a life of leisure\u00a0in Europe, I’ve been working.\u00a0 Work’s been a little crazy recently, everyone’s stressed out and slightly on edge, and I’ve been much busier than I’d like.\u00a0 (Sigh.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

Managed to sneak away from the office long enough to see\u00a0the Ashes and Snow<\/a> photography exhibit in Santa Monica this weekend.\u00a0 The photographs were fantastic.\u00a0 The rest of it was…interesting.\u00a0 There were some great video images\u00a0(mostly humans in repose next to wildlife – elephants, orangutans, and cheetas, etc.), but the accompanying faux-deep running commentary was kind of crap.\u00a0 To paraphrase, “In the beginning, elephants used to fly and would sleep with one eye open to watch over us.\u00a0 When you look into the sky, that’s what you see…”\u00a0 (Seriously.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

The marathon’s this Sunday.\u00a0 (Yay!)\u00a0 I’m super excited.\u00a0 I just have to avoid injury for the rest of the week!\u00a0 Being tied to my desk should help with that…<\/p>\n

Diet’s going okay.\u00a0 (Eh.)\u00a0\u00a0I actually managed to wear my thin jeans for an extended period of time and not die though.\u00a0 Admittedly, I may have blacked out for a few moments from lack of oxygen.\u00a0 Whatever.\u00a0 Breathing’s overrated.<\/p>\n

Oh, and if you haven’t tried it – Starbuck’s toffee nut latte.\u00a0 (Yum.)\u00a0 Get it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
