Remember,  I&#8217;d ordered it in a <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/sweetpea\/2007\/05\/31\/summer\/\">fit of delusional thinking<\/a>? New condo, new leaf and all that? Well, that lasted until I got through the first 20 pages of the tome&#8230;and realized I&#8217;ve been living in filth my entire life. Apparently everything has to be cleaned all the time and some things have to be additionally, super, thoroughly cleaned every week\/month\/year. If I followed her suggestions, I&#8217;d be doing nothing else. In fact, I&#8217;d be so busy cleaning I don&#8217;t know when I&#8217;d have time to make the mess to begin with! So I&#8217;ve opted to continue living in ignorant filth. I&#8217;m just glad I bought the book used so I don&#8217;t feel quite so guilty about spending money on it.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of which, I&#8217;ve been really good about not shopping lately and trying to save money for the condo. The only real frivolous purchase I&#8217;ve made this month was this dress, although it was incredibly cheap to start with and then went on sale so it doesn&#8217;t really count. I think I&#8217;ll wear it to one of my weddings in August. It&#8217;s from the Junior&#8217;s section though so I had to take a shot in the dark regarding the size. Hope I guessed right because if I didn&#8217;t, this dress will be falling off me (doubtful) or there will be some very unflattering bulging, if I manage to zip it up at all (sadly, much more likely)!<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/sweetpea\/files\/2007\/06\/294079_fpx.tif.jpg\" alt=\"294079_fpx.tif.jpg\" height=\"276\" width=\"224\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Also, for no particular reason, here are some random cute shoes I like at the moment.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/sweetpea\/files\/2007\/06\/_5401594.jpg\" alt=\"_5401594.jpg\" height=\"174\" width=\"189\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/sweetpea\/files\/2007\/06\/6628-484008-p.jpg\" alt=\"6628-484008-p.jpg\" height=\"136\" width=\"181\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Have a great weekend all!
