Fashion Friday:: Holiday Season 2012
Yes, the holiday season is upon us which means more social gatherings which means more opportunities to fancy up and step out! I love this time of year! I'm on a limited budget (of zero dollars) so I'll be fancying up what is already lurking in my closet but here are some wishlist items should I suddenly find a way to fuel some funds into my sparkle budget.
I love polka dots!
And sparkles!
And tulle!
And more sparkles!

Lifting the Library Embargo...
It's been a stressful week between doctors and more doctors but I've kept my goals in sight and I seem to be moving through it. As a reward for my efforts, I decided to break my library ban and triumphantly return to the world of book borrowing. I planned on only allowing myself two books. Of course, I left with an armful but I'm very excited about some of my finds this time...
I was looking for Ben Lerner's novel Leaving Atocha Station. The library didn't have a copy but they did have this collection of poems that I have yet to read.
Never read it. Always wanted to read it. Found the fiftieth anniversary edition in the "new books" section.
David Cross alternately annoys and amuses me. I suppose this must be like effect every person on the planet has on him. Here's hoping his book falls more to the latter side.
I've already read this book and I love it. My friend Mike knew I was looking for a copy so my fella could read it to and he found one on our library trip today. Very exciting times.
Hahaha. I really checked this book out. And, I'm really going to make something from it. Maybe not the roasted boar... maybe more like the honey biscuits. Thankfully, the book offers both the medieval and modern versions of recipes.

Some Wins, Some Losses
I woke up to some good news... and some not so good news.
How the f- did this man get into office again?
Seriously, Arizona? I was out there voting. Who didn't get in on this?
WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?
I almost have a hard time believing that people vote him in. Maybe it's a Hoover thing.
I don't know and I don't understand.
If you are unfamiliar with the antics of Sheriff Joe, I suggest you check out the New Times' coverage of our own local Goebbels or this article by Elise Foley of the Huffington Post because the shame certainly extends to a national level.

Tuesday Randomness:: Last Meals
Perhaps the diet has me feeling a little over dramatic. Anyway, I was thinking about "last meals" and found this collection by artist Henry Hargreaves who recreated last meals of famed death row inmates. The photographs can be seen online here.
What would you choose for your last meal?
I might opt for a cheeseburger.

Fashion Friday:: Sweater Love
Sweater Weather! It's almost cold enough. Almost. Arizona is not the best place for people who love winter wear as much as I do but each day seems a little cooler than the last. It's almost time to start pulling down my warmer clothing. It's a six-month split here in the desert. Six months of beautiful weather, six months of hellish heat. Time served and reward.

For the home:: The Great Autumn Cleaning
While springtime usually brings out the need to clean house in most of the vagina-owning humans I know, this urge comes for me in the fall. Something about Autumn... Maybe it's the sense of impending hibernation. No one wants to hole up in filth. Or maybe it's the guests that always seem to be around during the holidays, drinking your wine, passing judgement on your floorboards...
As I am handi-fabulous and can't do much with things below my hip level, a lot of undesirable debris is allowed to gather on our floors. Yesterday, the fella and I had a committed-to-clean chat about the teamwork that has to go in to this year's "Fall Clean" - and, as my fella is wonderful, he's ready to launch into our November project as a partnership.
Here are some of my organizing projects I have planned for this month...
1. Gut my closet and rid myself of all unwanted items.
Organize what remains.
2. Tackle my office and organize my paperwork.
Paperwork... bleh.
3. Now that I decided to become a master chef, I definitely
need to orchestrated my kitchen a little differently.
