First, I started reading The Hunger Games yesterday and I am already 13% through with the second book in the series, Catching Fire (I am reading on Kindle - I dont do that kind of math while reading)...
Social media exists for sharing, but too often we are tempted to over share. Last week, I got myself in a lot of trouble on Facebook (again) by forgetting to behave as if the person with whom I disag...
I just skipped a SHY update entirely last week. My bad. Not much has happened on the SHY front, however. I purchased an LC Lauren Conrad dress from Kohls, but it didnt work out (or fit my shopping sp...

Im kind of over outfit posting. Its partially because the heat makes it impossible to dress impeccably, at least for me. Also, I realize that I need to dress for my day and for myself rather than for...
This song really gets me:
I wore this to get coffee with Andrea during her lunch break. I dont know if she noticed, but we were wearing the same shade of lilac, a color that I only recently decided I love.I really enjoyed wea...

Some people come alive when the day is dreary. I feel like crawling into a dark hole and sleeping. On days like this - I know its completely in my head - but everything always seems to go wrong. ...
Tonight, the dinner theme is "in a bowl": salad and honey nut cheerios.Maybe its because I had a nice pair of royal blue jeans I wore often during the 2008-2009 school year, but I just wasnt ...
