Yesterday was my flex day off from work, so I did a few very important things including the gym, grocery shopping, cooking my first "real meal" in my apartment (marinated pork chop and veggies), and I went to TJ Maxx which was amazing. Not only did I find a Marc Jacobs jacket from Bergdorf's marked down from $1,700 to $180 (and also tiny), but I bought a new pair of sevens, a Michael Kors top, 2 new throw pillows for my couch (yay) and a big collage picture frame all for $150. New favorite store.
Today I'm planning on finding my bojangles fix (double yay) and cleaning my apartment top to bottom, and i've already been to the gym! Go me.
Otherwise it's sort of a boring errand-filled weekend. I watched Havana Nights last night and might stay in tonight too. Tomorrow night Claire and I are going out to a big Wake alumni party to watch the Wake v. UNC game. Should be fun. Happy Saturday!

People's Choice fashion winners and losers
A few outfits from the awards show (which I did not watch, because I only really care about the red carpet:).
Kate Hudson in Gucci. Ewww. This looks like I could have sewn it. And its really too bad because the color could've been great on her. Boo hiss.
Reese Witherspoon, always a classic (even if its a little boring). But, hey, you've got to save the big guns for the Globes and Oscars. Who really cares about People's Choice?
I think Katherine Heigl is stunning and I like the fact that she's not wearing a dress. She also has the Audrey Hepburn look going on big time, which is never a bad thing.

Purple!
The new color makes me happy. As does: having real work to do, not just my "learning" modules; hump day, which is actually my Thursday this week; the rain outside; meeting new people; doing lots of reading; starting yoga tomorrow; the 90s music channel on my cable; hopefully eating Bojanlges on Friday. I'm on a quest!

Real Work!
I am actually doing my very first real work at my job today. Hooray! It's pretty interesting and it will be good practice for when I start going out in the field and begin to travel for my job
Last night I went to the gym again (yay) and watched the Secret Life of the American Teenager. Why I watch this show is still beyond me...but last night's episode was awesomely bad, as usual. Of course, I'll keep watching for the rest of the season. I also started reading Twilight. I can already tell that the book will be better than the movie, but I'm glad I saw the movie first so that I can keep picturing Robert Pattinson in his Ray-Bans. Yum.
Tonight: leave work, gym, dinner, read more, sleep. Repeat daily. At least this week is my flex friday! Yay for 4 day weeks!

Edward Cullen mmmm.food+art+friends:happiness
Wasn't feeling the dark blue background, so it's a clean slate for now. I'm hoping this will encourage me to post more pictures and pretty things.
Great weekend. Went out to dinner at a fabulous tapas (but they call them "small plates") place with Lydia and her relatives on Friday night. I had some smoked trout, tuna tartar, lamb lasagna and pumpkin risoto. I wish I had pictures of the food:) Saturday I drove around doing errands without my GPS for the first time. I felt proud of myself, even though I only went to the library and post office and a little shopping. I went to Target and Homegoods on a quest for throw pillows, but I have no interior designer in me, so I never feel confident in my choices and am still pillowless. Sigh. Lydia slept over on Saturday night. We went to this crazy place near my apartment where you pick out your own noodles/veggies/rice/raw meats/sauces and they make a stir-fry thing for you right there. Mine actually turned out pretty good. Then we drove to the middle of no where movie theater in the next town over and saw Twilight. A-mazing. Ok, I admit, the movie was a little bit like film noir for 13 year olds gone wrong, but I am definitely developing the Edward Cullen obsession. I'm officially starting in on the books K sent me!
Sunday Lydia and I talked about weddings and freshman year and ate cinnamon rolls in my apartment. After she left I went to the High museum and bought my membership. It was packed for the Terracotta Warrior exhibit, so I didn't even try to wait in line. I checked out most of the permanent collection, the Louvre exhibit and the V&A exhibit. Seeing all those beautiful things re-inspired me a little. I'm happy that I can go back anytime I want for free, and its only 1 train stop away!
