Things I love this week:
- style: When I say style, I mean the sartorial ideas that are currently tickling me, because I have literally no idea what is currently considered trendy, let alone how to avoid it. I'm ambivalent, I think. What I'm craving now, however, includes simple white t-shirts, blue jeans, black canvas shoes, button downs, longer hair, stripes, scarves, eclectic nails, black sweatshirts, etc.
- dictionaries: and the discoveries they lead to... I was going to double check the exact definition of "ambivalent", which I used above, and even though it apparently is not good enough to be included in this dictionary, I did notice the words Amatory ["pertaining to love or sex"] and Amateur ["non-professional participant"] next to each other. Interesting that they share a pre-fix, hmmm?
- fancy soap: in bars, you know. I guess pump soap is kind of nice too, but I never learned how to appreciate bar soap and I'm starting to think it doesn't dry my hands out as much. I really, really want to go into Lush and get some cuts off their giant bricks of the soap, and keep it on kitchen plates next to the bathroom sink.
- quotes: I love finding a really choice string of words, and need more exposure to good ones. I get quotes emailed every day from Real Simple, but they are mostly random and not very substantial. Sometimes I underline things in my books. (yes, I do. I also dog-ear the pages to keep my spot. It makes me feel good and I don't care what you say.)
- and all the little things: *Ritz crackers and ginger ale (or milk), *sewing buttons on shirts, *Mumford and Sons, *laundry day, *smelling like laundry, *bottles of wine, *piggy banks and vacation funds, *montana green, mk. 2 GTI's
Zoe.
