every day's a new dumb adventure

part of the old lady collection

randall and i are headed to los gatos tonight for fine dining at manresa. we're meeting some really good friends to celebrate for no particular reason.

while we were getting ready randall made me laugh by putting on a really ill-fitting blazer. i hope we never grow up.

ps: the title of this post is in reference to the dress i'm wearing. it's tang mama's (my mom's friend's mother's old dress from probably 1985). i love it but have only ever worn it in public one other time.

pps: i wish this photo was in focus a bit better, but dinner calls!

it only took 30 years to learn

woke up with a teeny bit of extra time this morning -- this apparently is what happens when you get out of bed when the alarm goes off -- and decided to "put on a face." I'd say "my face" but those who know me, know that a made up face is far from the usual everyday nerd friday face.

i should also mention that i'm 30 years old, and I finally feel confident putting on makeup. I didn't wear much in high school, and only did ridiculous looks (fake shiny blue eyelashes anyone?) in college. post-college i worked at a place where i biked in to work, wore velcro'd sneakers and sported pigtail buns on a regular basis - no makeup necessary. then post that job I ended up being lazy and then I wasn't sure how to wear it. luckily at age 30 i finally met a bella who taught me a few tricks, all of which take about 5 minutes to do. sadly, i am still usually too lazy, and wake up far too late to spare 5 minutes.
