Things I Love Thursday: 3.27.08

Yikes! My world has been such a whirlwind these past few weeks, that I haven't had a few moments to sit down and set things out. Jumping on the bandwagon (and forcing myself to have more gratitude for the great-fulness of my life), I present the first Things I Love Thursday:



♥ Bienvenue en Louisiane! My boy friend & I went home for Saint Patrick's Day; while the trip was too short and too sleep deprived, it was wonderful to do the simple things again: listen to the sounds of the streetcar, ride the ferry, see snowball stands open, eat great Mediterranean food, have cabbage, carrots, & beads chucked at our heads, and get in some fantastic shopping.

♥ Energized Eyes Last week I had to pick up my first ever pair of glasses. Since I spend so much time at a computer for communication, work, and pleasure, my eyes, head, shoulders, and neck were getting a lot of the pain from it. I was prescribed a mild reading eyeglass, and I got these delightful Lucky Brand frames:



While my eyes are still adjusting, I do feel them straining less than they would without the glasses. Now I wonder... can I make an eyeglass chain look chic & hip, in a naughty secretary kind of way?

Also on that list! My new white Lolita-esque sunglasses! V. lovely, indeed, and perfect for the warming weather.

♥ My Darling Lo: My delightful, precocious, majestic and pesky kitten with the mostest, Lottie, is a constant amazing source in my life. Imp kitten, she is indeed.



♥ Supernatural Soundtracks: For the car ride to New Orleans, I made my boy friend & I a themed playlist on the Mischief-pod-- it was based around the classic rock hits from one of our favorite shows, Supernatural. Featuring AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Asia, Styx, Bob Dylan, Jefferson Airplane, Blue Oyster Cult, and more, this playlist got extra spooky on our trip home! A heavy thunderstorm and fog, a winding & tree encased country road, we half expected to see a ghost!

♥ Gilmore Girls Marathons: Between Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and now Gilmore Girls, I'm wondering how many other amazing shows from my teen years I missed out on the endings of! The boy friend and I have been thoroughly enjoying watching these the past few weeks; we're not up to season 5 and things are getting hot! Last night I just rewatched the episode featuring the "Life & Death Brigade," and am left with the urge to jump off a 7 story platform in a ball gown with an umbrella or to have overnight adventures in early 20th century garb.



♥ America's Best Dance Crew: While I'm missing Mtv, I enjoy capturing clips and snippets of this show. The dancing and performances are crazy, and Episode 5's ode to Michael Jackson is the most amazing thing I've ever experienced in my life.
