A Little Unlucky...

Have you ever been in such an awkward and uncomfortable situation that you need to constantly remind yourself to be you? That was me last night. And then I felt as though I became too much of myself… as if I were oversaturated with my personality, because I was so conscious of it. Like I was my uber-self. Needles to say, I pretty much made a fool of my-uber-self.

I ran into an ex last night. Or should I say The Ex? It was mildly irritating and led me to overcompensate by drinking too much. And The Boyfriend was “so cool with everything” until we were home, when he became decidedly less cool about it all.

It looks like St. Patrick got the best of me this year…

House of Harlow Bangle

I'm usually not a girl who appreciates bangles. At least, not since I was thirteen- give me a diamond tennis bracelet any day. But this House of Harlow Aztec Bangle ($68) could be just the piece to change my mind.

Nicole Richie's 1690s-inspired jewelry line makes my heart skip a beat. Bohemian and chic, the collection perfectly encompasses her. Not to mention that the prices are perfect (you can get a ring for just $12!). Maybe I need to re-think my jewelry philosophy...

Weekend Update: Hair, St. Paddy's, and Yankee Stadium

Depending on what time of the day, I'll either tell you I hate my haircut, or I love it. Shorter hair is definitely faster to dry and easier to style, but when I was caught in the rain yesterday, I did not appreciate the mess/frizz-ball that found a home on the top of my head.

This weekend was the big St. Patrick's Day parade in the city where I work, so I came down and went to a couple parties. As usually occurs when we've been drinking since 9 in the morning, Boyfriend and I got cranky and fought for no good reason. In the middle of the street. And wound up taking the 6:20 train home.

But it was time to go, because on Sunday morning, we had a private tour of the new Yankee Stadium!! Unfortunately, we could not get into the Yankee's clubhouse, but we were able to see the Visitor's lockerrooms and batting cages, etc. We walked all around for hours, and even saw Steinbrenner's suite! Lucky us :) I took way too many pictures...

Confession: Celine Dion

I must confess: I have been listening to Celine Dion's "Falling Into You" album non-stop for days. I even stopped reading on the train just so I can listen to it. The songs are just so good and they remind me of my childhood; I remember my melodramatic twleve-year-old self belting out "All By Myself" in my bedroom for hours. Aah, to be young again... Nerd.

Restless syndrome continues...

I suppose my feelings of restlessness surpass a drastic haircut. I bought a TV online last night. Did I need one? No. Did I want one? Not really. It just felt like time. And I was unbelievably coerced by the Sharp Friends and Family Discount e-mail that I received. Well, whatever. I guess I will have a new TV sometime next week. Now I just have to figure out what to do with the old one... (Note to self: Burn credit card!

Hair woes

Despite the unexpected snow day from work on Monday, this week is officially dragging. Luckily, I'm leaving work early on Friday, because I have an appointment with my extremely nice, extremely intuitive, extremely over-priced hairdresser, Liz.

I am beginning to get that restless feeling in the pit of my stomach and sense that I need a change. So I figure I can either chop my hair off, quit my job (which I love very much), or dump my boyfriend (just kidding, D. I'm not that restless). Haircut it is. I have mixed feelings, but unless I mutter 'just lightly trim the ends' at the last second, I intend to emerge five inches shorter. My hair, that is.

Grammar Day

Happy Grammar Day!! Today is my favorite day of the year, and I implore you all to help me celebrate by taking care in choosing your words today.

Don’t forget:
Their, there, they’re
You, your, you’re
It, it’s, its
Then, than
Affect, effect
Good, well

I could go on forever, but I’ll leave you to chew on those. Happy typing!!
