Tuesday Tell-All

*Good news, friends: I found the David Archuleta c.d. last night while rooting through that messy closet again. And guess what else I found? A little gem of a book (made by the American Girl company, who else?) that I had filled out in 4th grade. Check out my life aspiration (above). Pretty good, eh? Eh? *Matt …

*I’m still working on doing a post that shows some of the pics we took at our mini photo shoot with Matt’s mom. I particularly loved several by this door because it looks like our clothes were color-coordinated to match it. Pretty tricky, eh? I’m hoping to choose a good one and mail it out on a holiday …

*I finally got on the scarf bandwagon. I have avoided it for years because I just couldn’t get over how a piece of cloth with strings pulled out of one side cost as much as an (affordable) pair of jeans. But, when I was able to get a couple of those suckers for about $3/apiece …

*Check out this amazing dress I got for FREE from my friend Petrice (who has an impeccable eye for style). I accidentally spilled on it the first time I wore it, so it’s been awhile since I’ve been able to wear it again (just because yes, I AM that bad at doing laundry). Just putting …

*It is Halloween tomorrow, and I have no plans to dress up (although we can at my school). I did, however, “dress up” for Pajama Day  yesterday. Seriously–Best. Idea. Ever. Of course, I was seriously considering searching out some pillows and a blanket during prep to take a little snooze, but what do you do? …

*So we got pulled over last week because our Mazda’s front window had a big ol’ crack in it. I didn’t even know they pulled over for that kind of thing, especially since it hadn’t *quite* reached the driver’s side [completely]. But, with fix-it-ticket in  hand, I marched right on over to the car glass place to happily …
