FYI - i'm a total freak

yep, and i'm not ashamed either. in fact, i'll share just one of the bizarre-o thoughts that passed through my head today as evidence. i was wearing the bow necklace from my last post (cause when i find something great i tend to binge on wearing it until it's out of my system or i find something else to obsess over) and trying to decide what to wear to go to the post office to mail off my first official package of the thrift swap - i started to debate the idea of wearing a shirt that ties with a bow at the back of the neck: "too many bows? redundant? silly?" and then, i thought "well it's okay cause one's in the front and one's in the back... I'VE GOT BOWS IN DIFFERENT AREA CODES!" yep. i've equated bows to ho's and begun a whole new rap in my head weird-al jankovic style....

THANKS luda! *insert eye roll here*

(mom i made that a link just for you in case you don't know what i'm referring to - and if you do... well, props?! i guess.)

some amazing things about my monday:

1- i only had to work for 2 hours today

2- i went to the library and discovered they were having a book sale and it was the last day so everything was 1/2 off! got lots of good stuff for only 50cents each (great - now i'm gonna have "fiddy cent" in my head too....)

3- checked out several movies while i was there and came home and watched emma - which was cute. and there are lots of pretty things to look at in the movie too - including super pink walls filled with gold-framed paintings which i think was the inspiration for the pink room from the royal tenenbaums which everybody obviously loves. anyway, i think P is down for letting me have a pepto pink room in the next apartment now!

4- as mentioned above, i sent off the first of what i hope will be many bundles of joy! i'm referring to the the thrift swap i've embarked on with diana. boy, i hope she likes what i've sent her. if you are interested in thrifting and getting presents in the mail from new friends then you should join us! leave me a comment and i'll tell you more!

5- while there, i got the LAST book of frank sinatra stamps at my post office - she took them out of the locked display case for me and everything - i felt like i'd won the stamp lottery!

6- the boy and puppy and i went to the park and it was a little breezy and nice. the dog rolled in the grass, i found a fall leaf (even though i think it's a leftover from last fall), and even convinced him to take some silly pics of me:

i'll never dunk.

but i can try!

a fall leaf!

puppy LURVES to roll in the grass

these are the oxfords i got in the haul the other day - love them!
