It’s been a dismal start to my week (at best), actually it started last week, but it really doesn’t matter, it all starts to blend after awhile, and starts to get blurry. Don’t get me wrong, I was super happy we had sunshine and ok weather this past weekend, but I had no great plans, nor any expendable income to do anything. By the way, it’s been absolutely torturous to receive the “New Markdowns” email from Shopbop this morning! Ugh!
Well for those who can, check it out and get something good! But keep me in your thoughts! 
Between applying for jobs, doing (and re-doing) my resume, picking and choosing which bills to pay (now can I afford a late fee on the Citicard, or should I not pay my student loan for the second month in a row?), tackling the “no end in sight” of clutter that has accumulated on my desk (Will calls it my igloo of paper), and to top it all off me hunting down that “ever- so precious“, and apparently non-existent fax number I needed to submit my partial unemployment claim, it’s undeniably been a few days of misery for me (I eventually gave up, and mailed in my claim)!
But a-last, there were a few things in these past few days that have managed to put a smile on my face, and if I was lucky made me laugh out loud! 
1. Fist-pumping in the Anthro dressing room with my Cuzzo (a.k.a Angela Grace), after we both put on items of clothing that fit like a glove and made us feel FAB! Of course we couldn’t afford to purchase them, but at least for that moment we felt that exuberant amount of happiness that only fashion and beautiful clothing can make happen. By the way, we have been stalking the Anthro website every day to make sure our items are still there and in stock in our size, until we are able to pull the trigger!
I know it’s total torture.
2. Receiving this reply comment from Carey @ Corks and Caftans. Love this girl. She is truly one-of-a-kind, totally her own person, thoughtful, helpful, and is an AMAZING writer (and her husband Rob isn’t a bad photographer either, wink * wink * check out these photos he took. Gorgeous.). Definitely check out her blog! She is the one who inspired me to create my own blog.
2b. Receiving permission from Carey to get this YSL Arty Ovale ring in Coral for my birthday next month. It must be CORAL (Don’t worry Carey I’ve got yo’ back)! Yea I know, I have no $$ to even think about purchasing it, but I’ll be slipping Will a short & sweet birthday wishlist with bold font and plenty of asterisks next to this!

3. Eating Apple Jacks cereal. I think it brought me and Will back to our childhood! I don’t even remember the last time I even had a kid’s cereal?

4. Watching the Ellen Degeneres show (Man, I heart day-time television). It’s hilarious when she scares her guests and plays the question/answer game where she can make them fall through the trap door if they answer the question wrong.
She totally gets a kick out of doing that. You can totally tell.

So keep your heads up everyone!
The weekend is just around the corner, and Valentines Day is on it’s way!
