No. 11 - Lady Susan

Another book down! Lady Susan is the last of Jane Austen's main works that I had to read. It was a very different style than her other writings, mainly this one is played out completely in letters. It still has the same Jane Austen wit, but lacks the romance. Different than what I expected, but glad that I read it. (especially to finish the list of an author's published works!)

I cheated last week and bought My Life in France by Julia Child (at the same Borders clearance as the notebook). I'm adding it to the list and starting it next.

Moleskine

I got my very first Moleskine notebook last week thanks to the closeout deal the Borders near me was having. It doesn't have lines. It is a big, black, intimidating, no line, ever-looming notebook that I haven't written in yet.

I decided that before I pull the trigger on such an impressive piece of stationery, I should at least finish 1 of the...4 maybe 5 notebooks I've started writing in. (I think I may have a problem)

And so I took my owl notebook around with me for a few days and I wrote 3/4 of a page. *crickets*

Anyone else out there have multiple half-finished notebooks hanging around?

A Good Day

What a great start to Spring! The weather is perfect right now, thanks to a cold, rainy yesterday that took away the heat for a bit.

Things I'm loving about today:
-perfect weather (duh)
-the smell of freshly mowed grass that is still rainy wet
-the crisp, cold air with warm sunshine and damp plants transports me back to Menlo Park (where I grew up)
-birds
-sweet oranges for breakfast
-Banjo slept on an afghan all night ;)
-Stars and Stripes Forever stuck in my head while I was walking

Today is going to be a good day.

The Perfect Spring Outfit

If I had all the money in the world, I would probably still get this:

Anthropologie

Fabric & Handle

Forever21

I actually have some similar pieces and the bag is on its way to my house :) so I'm looking forward to rebuilding this outfit on the cheap!
