Ring-a-ding-ding


I forgot to post this a couple of days ago. I purchased the most delightful ring the other day from Overstock. I saw while browsing for pearl rings and realized that it is very nearly the exact vision I have for my engagement ring (if I get married, that is). I love the art deco design surrounding the pearl. The only things that would make this perfect would be if the ring was in white gold or platinum (instead of sterling silver) and if the pearl was flanked two sapphires. Then, I'd be in heaven.

Leaves of Grass


There is nothing so sweet as combining the most comfortable garments in your closet. I feel like I'm wearing pajamas. Actually, I had to brave the mall today to return a few online purchases (I loathe the mall), and I noticed that I walk differently when I'm in my comfiest clothes. I sauntered instead of walking with intention, as I normally do. I was also less high-strung (which is a completely relative term, because I am high-strung by Colorado standards, but utterly sedated by almost everyone else's standards). Anyway, the day became a kind of "flow through life" day.
I bleached my hair again yesterday and managed to lift the color more, but it's not quite where the stylist and I want it (still some yellows), so I will be back in three weeks for another all-over bleach. In the meantime, I am spoiling my hair with a ton of deep conditioner.



Please excuse the double chin. I was making a leaf angel and really wanted to include a picture eventhough they were all goofy.

Bliss


So, as I've mentioned, I've been moving my sister in and we had a blizzard-type storm this week. Well, my sister still has some needs at her house, so I spent the day getting dusty and dirty moving things around. I am really pretty sick of being in my yoga pants and snow boots, so I dressed up for only an hour for my quest for the Holy Grail of ice cream: Larry & Luna's Coconut Bliss. It turned out to be harder than I expected to locate, but I found this really cool parking lot with some pretty sweet photo opportunities.





Yay! My hunt for the most amazing ice cream ever ended successfully.
Luna & Larry's Coconut Bliss comes in about seven different flavors like Naked Almond Fudge and Chocolate Peanut Butter, but I personally love the vanilla because you can really taste the coconut milk.
