Just Read

   My goal for this year is to read as many new books as I can. That means books that I have never read before. So far, I think I'm doing ok. I would be doing better, but I keep going back to books I've already ready; somehow, re-reading old books keeps me from getting to new books fast. Weird.



   This is what I've read most recently. The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach. If I could only use one word to describe this book, it would be beautiful. It is written like a dream. The story is great, the writing even better. If I could read this book over and over again, I would, and I probably will since I own a copy. Libraries and I just don't get along. It's actually cheaper for me to buy books than to borrow them.


Honest, I have a real post planned.

Pottermore is due to open in early April. I LOVE Harry Potter. Luckily for us lesser mortals who didn't get into Pottermore for the beta run, the bookshop of Pottermore is available to all. I think I know what I'm about to spend some of my savings on. This

YES! Soon they will be mine! And then, while I'm at Disney(!!!!!) next fall, I won't have to tote all of them with me for my annual reading. :)

Strolling in the rain

Strolling in the rain

This week is a rain worthy look. Normally when it rain, I curl up and nap. But this time I figured I'd pull together something I'd actually wear and wear in public. My "home pants" don't get to see the light of day. I think the Betsey Johnson necklace really makes it more fancy and less homey.

Running

I went running today. Please hold your applause. I ran so hard I nearly puked. I'll be doing this again tomorrow. If I puke, it's a sign that I'm an idiot. But a fun one.

St. Paddy's in Savannah

St. Paddy's in Savannah
























This year I'm finally making it to Savannah for St. Paddy's! I
 can't wait to see the green everything!

And now, some jeans

   I hopped right on the colored pants wagon. I like this wagon, and I'm quite certain that I'll stay on this wagon forever. Well, at least as long as I can find a supplier of colorful pants.

   In exhibit A, and the only exhibit from today, I wore green skinnies.


Yes, those wedges are the shoes I wore. I wore them to town like going to town was a fancy occasion. 

The Peachtree

  No, not an actual peach tree. But the Atlanta Peachtree Road Race. It's a 10K that's held every July 4th. I'm debating about whether or not to sign up. It would be a great experience. I have the time to train up properly. I'm willing to train up properly. The thing is, that it's a lottery entry. You sign up, but you don't know if you actually get to sign up. Decisions. They will be the death of me!


I'm all registered for the lottery! Now here's to hoping I get picked :)

Spring Breakin'

  Ahh spring break. I love it so much, that I might do it again next week!


  I've been keeping busy this spring break. I traveled down to Florida, not a long trip from my house (~40 miles to the border), made some pie (not from scratch, but I have to celebrate Pi Day properly), and started planning an exciting event for next year! 


   As of right now though, all I have on the brain is reading. I'm currently reading The Art of Fielding, which is beautifully written. I can't wait to finish it and see what happens! No spoilers if you've read it!


  But in true nerd style, I've got all these pulled up:





   Here's the links to all the above tabs:



  And yes, these tabs are from the same lovely blogger. 

  My to read list can be found here. If you want to know what I've read that is here

An Idea

   Texas has their own Style Council. Why doesn't Georgia? Time to get to work. And I know the perfect place! Athens of course!

A joke

My friend Shan-nanan-nana-on told me this awesome joke the other day:

   Why did the hipster burn his mouth?
 

   Because he ate the pizza before it was cool.


I like it.

A confession

I've been wearing the same skinny jeans for the past 3 days. I think I should just man up and order another  pair.

Tangerine Spring Adventuring

Tangerine Spring Adventuring
  This week for Friday's Fancies, I wanted to go for an adventuring
outfit that's still cute. A backpack to hold my sunscreen, snacks,
map, and any extras for my adventure. Comfy shoes to wander
in around Athens. And a cute orange dress to keep me cool and
 hopefully still cute once I come back to civilization from this
excursion. Happy spring!
