LOVE: green cotton PJ’s

November 15, 2009

I had a weekend class (The Teaching of Writing) all weekend long. Nightmare. Here’s how the weekend classes at Lesley go:

Friday night: 5-10

Saturday: 8-5

Sunday: 8-5

(Two weekends a semester per class. Incredibly painful.) Can you imagine sitting and thinking that long for 3 days straight?!

YUCK. All I could think of at the end of today was how much I couldn’t wait to get home, get out of my jeans, and put on my pajamas.

No more worries. I am wearing them now and life is good.

These pajamas, most often found through Garnet Hill, are the coziest PJ’s I have ever owned. They are super soft AND organic (so we can’t complain there!). For years I would look at these PJ’s in the catalog, month after month, and say I wanted them. I always say this about clothes in catalogs. I’ve been turning the pages down on clothing catalogs since I was a little girl, labeling and circling items I want. I have never once ordered anything from a catalog. Ever. I don’t know why, I just never follow through. BUT! I found these pajamas at the Garnet Hill factory store last year in Franconia, NH and have been wearing them ever since (by night, of course). LUCKY! I have the pink PJ’s (featured in the picture) but I better get myself another set, before these ones disintegrate. Not only are they cozy, but stylish too! LOVE MY PAJAMAS!

Kid Couture.

November 14, 2009

I just got the crewcuts holiday catalog in the mail today and everything is so precious I can hardly stand it. I just want to be a small being so I can wear all those adorable headbands, sparkly jewlery and cute puffy, fluffy skirts and pretend to be Fancy Nancy.

I was in the store a few weekends ago and picked up some necklaces from the crewcuts section. I couldn’t help myself they were so cute. That, and I couldn’t afford the adult versions. Poor is me. No, but really, I think the necklaces I bought were more my everyday style. I do love the fancier women’s jewelry but it’s just not practical for everyday wear. Unless your the Queen of England, and even then it’s a little over the top.

Here are the necklaces I bought:

Yes, I realize I got the same necklace in 3 different colors. But they were 30% off 2 or more and I hardly ever pass up a deal like that. Plus, I had trouble deciding which one I liked the best. Who knows, maybe I’ll give one as a Christmas gift? Ehhh, I feel separation anxiety already just thinking about this idea so don’t get your hopes up. Just saying.

pretty ugly.

November 12, 2009

I just love these little ugly dolls!! They’re so wacky and dare I say, adorable? I sure think so. I discovered them a few years ago while my friend was first starting up at her advertising job. All her co-workers were into buying these little figurines that were weird and goofy. So when I came across an ugly doll in a catalog I thought it would be a perfect little present for her! That was a couple of years ago, when there were only a few ugly doll characters. Now the creatures are everywhere, and after looking at the website I see they have over 20 uglys!

What kind of name is OX? No, not like the animal OX, as in HUG and KISS! How can he hug you with such short arms? OX uses his ears! He’s not a very good listener, but he puts his ears to good use in many other ways! OX is great at magic, and his best trick is turning your stuff into his stuff.

Bop n’ Beep love to do everything together. Be it an arguement over snacks, which movie to see, or what color race car not to drive, they always see things quite differently from one another. Bop gets along really well with Ox (they see things X to X) while Beep happens to think Wedgehead really knows his stuff. (just stuff, you know.)

Plunko is a business man. He’s got his own car wash, his own tire store, and ideas for lots of other stores. Some of those ideas are his very own! Plunko is a good guy to know. If you know Plunko, you can say you’ve got some connections. And if you call Plunko’s phone, you may get a bad connection.

I have collected 3 of my favorites. They match the colors of my room and I just think they add a touch of flair. They live on my bed between my sham pillows. They are pretty ugly, but super lovable too.

a little early, but oh so delicious.

November 11, 2009

Eggnog latte, anyone? Yes, please!

So it’s November 10 and the Starbucks holiday cups have already been out for over a week. Is it me or does Christmas come earlier every year? I don’t remember Thanksgiving happening yet. Oh well, more delicious drinks for all of us. I personally like the eggnog latte the best, but will occasionally change it up with a peppermint mocha or gingerbread latte. Like Meg always says, “There’s nothing like a warm red cup and some holiday spice to get ya in the christmas spirit!”.

Can’t wait to break out the Mariah Carey Merry Christmas CD! But for that, I think I’ll wait til after Thanksgiving.
