Diana Ross

I want her boots!

WANT!

This is my motivation for SO much right now! Oh, my, I cannot stop lusting over this dress from Victoria's Secret.


The colors are perfectly spring, fading into summer, drifting into fall. Light and floaty, perfect for the humid Baltimore summers where the thought of wearing cotton is about as appealing as dipping one's self into a vat of canola oil.

I see myself wearing this, walking barefoot through a field at the vineyard, listening to crisp jazz notes on a summer evening.

Mmmmmmm.....

New cookbook!! May I just say that it is amazing. Picked up Skinny Bitch in a Box this week, and made (almost) vegan chicken noodle soup. Perfect timing as I've gotten sick for the second time this season and was craving a vegetarian version of the soup. "Quorn" is a very chicken-like fake chicken. V. tough to find. I know. I've been a veggie since I was 12. Anyhoo, if you can get past the expletives, those ladies really do know how to put together some healthy, tasty meals. Tonight was potato and butternut squash curry and rice.

Can't wait to start working out to their DVD as well! Too bad that has to wait a few months, as the most I can do at the moment is walk timidly and do my PT exercises. Knee has gotten to an 85% bend! Yay! Did I mention what I did? Tore my ACL. Yup. All the joy and pain (mostly emotional at the moment) that comes with it. I am determined to be the fastest healer they have ever seen, with surgery in April and the Ragnar Relay in September. After all, I did recover from Mono in a month and a half back in college!

Ug, and speaking of PT, I forgot that I have to get up early for it tomorrow, therefore I am 2 hours past my bedtime.

Happy Friday to all!

Fun with PhotoBooth

I've been entertaining myself with the PhotoBooth application this morning, stalling the start of the day until the library opens. Patricia was not likewise amused.

Patricia desperately trying to remove herself from my grasp.
