Spring Trend I'm Most Excited About...

Look Forward To:S/S 11 Trends

So according to this post, the Springs trends are:

Wide leg pants: check. Would love them in a white linen. Have them in a blue cotton.
Relaxed minimalism: cute. comfy. What's not to like?
Skinny belts: you have to have something to tie together that "relaxed" look.
Disco: 70's soft silhouettes are great, but disco? No thanks.
Downtown lady: I knew the sophistication of last season wouldn't last...
Rainbow brights/neon makeup: We are a couple seasons in now, so take it or leave it.
Tiny pleats: Yay! i love me a pleated skirt!
Flatforms: OMG! SOOO excited! I love a shoe that can give you height without killing your feet...I do have a problem with the closed-toed ones, though. They should be sandals and the straps have to be just right. I love the Chanel!

OhLife.com is pretty cool

I just discovered OhLife.com where you keep a little journal of everyday events via email. They send out the emails, you fill it out and send back. Then at night you get what you wrote from the past. It's a good way to track things, maybe even make a few notes like what movie you would like to see and it will remind you later. I just put in my overall mood for the day and anything that stood out. Like right now I'm thinking about Girl Scout Cookies, taxes and the fact that Jesse James is getting married to Kat Von D...ew. I hope they don't flaunt that gross-ness around Austin. Why can't they just move to LA?

BTW, it's cold!!! And windy!

NEW for the NEW YEAR!

So I'm trying the organic food delivery service Greenling. I got the first delivery today and I must say, I'm impressed! I ordered the regular produce that I usually get from the grocery store--and all of it is local, organic or both! Bananas (which don't have to be organic, by the way), onion, romaine, celery, avocado, red potatoes, plus a Farmstead Box full of surprises such as fresh baked rolls, pesto, little British sweet treats, a probiotic drink, whole wheat tortillas...all delivered to my front door at 11am in a huge green box.

So far, so good! Just something new for the NEW YEAR!

I'm on a sugar fast until February 3rd, so we'll see how it goes. No major cravings for sugar yet, just cheese and peanut butter (the good kind--no hydrogenated oils!) Goat cheese from the FM is delicious, y'all!

Somewhere new...

Well, friends, as most of you may know, I made the move and am happily settled.

Sooo much to say about life at this point, so stay tuned. I plan on giving more thoughts in '11 than I did in '10. I guess 2010 was the year of an introspective look at life.

Here are a few reasons I'm glad I left AZ:

-the politicians in that state are CRAZY!
-the middle school my son would've have fed into is going to close...actually, he wouldn't've went there anyway.
-the sales tax is how much is Tempe, and they're STILL closing schools?
-the unrelenting heat
-not much to do, cities lack character
-the raid on Chandler mall--scary!
-the people--with a few exceptions, I don't really think people in the Valley are that nice or cool or special or intelligent or neighborly...mostly either snobby or scummy...go figure?

Enough of my rant...just positive talk from now on!
