Cheater. Day 7.

Day Seven

Okay so I cheated. These sandals are not in my thirty. But to be fair, I told you upfront I wasn't sticking to the rules on weekends/nights out and I could have been extra sneaky and not even told you what I was wearing this weekend. 

Besides, I made it up to you by having my dear friend Ambika snap this pretty picture in Forest Park. Sure beats the mirror in my bedroom, eh?

I was mom-less this Mothers Day (she was off being super mom watching super brother run in his track meet), so Ambika and I enjoyed sangria, daiquiris, and Mexican food on Hacienda's patio, picked up some treats from Ted Drewes (found a new fave - cherry banana concrete!) and then headed to the fountain at the World's Fair Pavilion in Forest Park for some people (and puppy) watching. Sunday funday indeed.

Weekend White. Day 6.

Day Six

Look at me. I told myself I'd only stick to this challenge with workday wear and here I am, on a Saturday, remixin like pro. This turned out to be the perfect outfit for lunch on patios and napping with the doggies (I'm puppy sitting for my parents this weekend, so I've got double snuggle buddies!).

Best Dog Video EVER.

I wish I was creative enough to make something like this with Maverick.

Prints. Day 5.

Day Five

Why yes, that is a printed scarf I'm wearing with my printed shirt. I'm totally okay with it. Actually, I'm more than okay. I think it looks good actually. (Plus, I had to make sure this outfit didn't look too much like the last time I wore it).

Cinco for Cinco

Five things that make me feel all festive today.

Americuh.

I feel like perhaps I've committed a blogging crime not commenting on the death of Osama bin Laden. Aside from a tweet about listening to Miley and a Facebook post about the fake MLK quote, I've made no comment on the subject. I guess I didn't know what to say.

Do I celebrate in the street? Do I quote Team America? Do I (do what other social media junkies did) and talk about how I found out via Facebook and how social media is changing the way we 'break' stories?

Then I saw this post from Lisa M. Engler and knew that it summed up my feelings exactly: 

"Want to pray for the souls of your enemies? Go ahead. Want to chant, “Fuck you, Osama” with a giant mob of college students? Go ahead. The cool thing about America is that we fight against men like bin Laden so that everyone has the freedom to act and react however the hell they want to."

God Bless America.  

This Makes Me LOLz.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
