Life of Louie and Catie
I am spending the weekend on Figure Eight, North Carolina with Emma, her family and friends drinking Stella watching the day turn into night. Days are filled with naps in the hammock and long walks with Louie and Catie (my new found four legged friends). Dress code--ripped shorts paired with an old (men's) shirt. The coming weeks will be filled with travel and work. Today I intend to close my eyes and indulge in the smell off fresh breeze coming from the ocean while the hammock rocks me forth and back overlooking the beach.

Did someone order freckles?
What a lovely relaxing weekend.
Perfect weather, great friends, great food, pool time, and croquette. What else could you ask for?

Want vs Need. That's the question
According to *MSO I have a tendency to interchange the true meaning of "need" with "want", and "practical" with "looking good, having fun".
With excitement I will call out "Honey, look at this bag. Eeeek. Isn't it just exactly what I need for work?" to which he will reply "It's cool, but it doesn't look very practical for work. Will it even fit your iPad? [insert head tilt and smile] Is it that you really need it or could it be that you want it and therefore using work as an excuse to purchase it?" Guilty!
On our way to dinner he will, with slight amusement and charm, enter into a staring competition with my 5" heels and nod to them with the look that says it all "Babe, are you going to be able to walk in those?" to which I gleefully respond "Of course. Don't be silly" as I silently admit to myself that my "looking good sitting in the bar" heels may not have been the best choice for the evening. Sigh!
I consider myself to be both practical and rational. But when it comes to something sweet as these fine items below, practical and reason does not apply, and I just can help myself. Practical or not I just got to have them.
Happy Thursday!

Looking good from here
From speed boating to mingling on a sand bank in the middle of nowhere to watching soccer. All in one day. Thank you Lady Catherine for a fabulous Saturday. Looking good, having fun!

the Terminal
Hello D.C., what a hepfa it was to get here. My trip was running surprisingly smooth. Apparently to smooth for Detroit's liking. Oy va! Infamous for being the last one on the plane (why the rush, I don't understand the rush), I settled down in my seat with the latest issue of Allure (featuring a very funny article on Elizabeth Banks by the way), waiting for take off. As I happily dove into the words of Allure time passed by. Twenty minutes, thirty minutes.... still on the runway. Then I hear it, the unmistakable sound of a dying engine followed by a conversation between a stewardess and maintain crew. "...ok, it's still not closing... change planes...aha...uha...ok, well, we don't now if there will be a plane available.....paus.....ok, the plane is grounded..."
One apologetic message from the pilot later we are off the plane, collecting our food voucher (thank's Delta). Three hours pass by, a plane has been located and we are finally good to go. Captain is happy pappy, crew is happy pappy, even the passengers are in a slightly pleasant mood. We made it to D.C.! Then it happens. The jetway won't attach. Making the passengers prisoners of the plane. What's next? At this point I don't even care about the delay's. It's the baggage claim I dread. Fast speed half an hour later we are set free. At last. And happily enough there they are, my ride home (thank's dear) and against all odds, my luggage. Now I know how Victor Navorski (played by Tom Hank) must have felt like in the Terminal. Well, sort off. Ok, no similarities.
To make this post less of a Debbie Downer check out these lovely things. These fun, gardenia scented, candles by Primitives by Kathy are available at Marshalls' for a mere $10/piece. If these don't make you happy pappy I don't know what will. And for the ladies, this necklace by H&M, yours for $12, may just be what the dr ordered for those glum day's when nothing in your wardrobe seem willing to take on the challenges of the day.
