Things I Want to Do:

1. Get a haircut
2. Go to the botanical gardens
3. Go to the art museum
   
4. Go to the library
5. Go hiking/camping
6. Go to the beach
7. Learn how to sew

Moccasins Lust List!

I want a pair of these













or these


















No, I think I want these.

Fashion Forward Monday

Lady in Paris, May I have your fancy peasant shirt?

I suppose I could go over to the Laws of General Economy and find some neat clothes.

Uppercase Electonotes

I want this. I'll put it on my wish list. It's a reader/writing journal made from vintage papers/items.

To make it easier for any of you to buy it for me, I'll put the link here.

Tights, Suspenders, Hats, Oh My!

I've been reading too many fashion/design blogs lately. Anyone that's ever seen me knows I'm not a fashionista. I love clothes, but I don't spend money on them. I always figure other things come first.

But I may have to change things up. I want better clothes. I want tights and a jacket like these (from the Sartorialist):
I want to own suspenders. I never have! And I don't want to be afraid to wear hats.

So, what I'm saying is, I probably won't, but I really have a desire to change the way I dress. Just a little. Just to have more of an edge and not so much a, I-just-woke-up-15-minutes-ago-and-this-was-clean look.

I've always struggled with my image: hair, clothes, makeup. I never wear makeup. I wore lipstick and blush at my wedding. That was it. I never do anything special to my hair. It just hangs there in layers. I could straighten it and it might not look so Cousin It sometimes, but I'd have to buy a straightener. Clothes? I'm lazy. I go for flats over heels, and my mother has always said she was going to turn me over to "What Not to Wear" and let them kill everything in my closet.

Sigh. Ah, style. Do I care that much, or is this a passing whim?

Books, books, books

This looks like me.

I Wish...

I wish I had a goat. I know, I know. They eat everything. They stand on your car. They are associated with the Devil (I mean, have you seen their eyes? Creepy!) But they're my savor! That's what I use to say instead of 'favorite' as a child, by the way.

Just look at the kid above. Seriously. He's the cutest thing ever, and, he's here with his surrogate father, Billy. Story here.

Over at the Baby Goat page - (and no, I don't know who dude is up there) they have some pretty cute goats. I had to use this picture because I love how the kid is on top of him.

So, I need a goat. Seriously. I know I first have to have the farm, but I just had to take a moment to covet other people's goats.

Amendment to the List

After saying I wanted moccasins, I found them, because I wondered where one might buy a pair. I found these called, "Amanda," appropriately for me, since my middle name is Amanda, or was, before I was married. But how great are they?
