Olive & Aqua
I found this sundress at Forever21 for $9 (it was one of their yellow tag deals). I have a feeling this dress is going to be my summer staple. Lightweight, fun, good with sandals or boots, can be dressed up or down, and c'mon it has pockets. I can picture myself in this dress, strolling around Central Park on a sunny Saturday with my bestie, Mr. Softee sprinkle cone in one hand, other hand in pocket. Yep. That is how I make shopping decisions: imagining the best possible scenario the clothes could be involved in.
Catie Cruel
Oh that I was where I would be,
Then I would be where I am not,
Here I am where I must be,
Go where I would, I can not.
I know who I love,
And I know who does love me;
I know where I'm going,
And I know who's going with me.
Through the woods I go,
And through the bogs and mire,
Straightway down the road,
And to my heart's desire.
Then I would be where I am not,
Here I am where I must be,
Go where I would, I can not.
I know who I love,
And I know who does love me;
I know where I'm going,
And I know who's going with me.
Through the woods I go,
And through the bogs and mire,
Straightway down the road,
And to my heart's desire.
Older Men...
...that I would run away with in a heartbeat.
They will forever be their younger selves in my eyes.
Admit it, who is your older man crush??

Going, going...gone?
Destinations to Visit Before They're Gone aka my list of future trips, including Venice, the Galapagos Islands, Glacier National Park, Barrow, Alaska, Mt. Kilamanjaro, Chan Chan/Machu Picchu, India's Manas National Park (tigers!) ... so sad that these places may merely be the stuff of legends in a few years.
But all the other bloggers are doing it
I hate being a blind trend follower. But sometimes...
curiosity kills the cat(ie).

I do like buns though. Maybe it's nostalgia from dance days, or the fact that my hair is too long to not look scraggly in a ponytail, who knows. Regardless, today I tried a 1-minute version of this cute bun (next time I will part my hair, put the bun on top, and do it right...I was in a rush to get to church on time!). My hair's current length seemed to work really well and the bun stayed put with only 4 bobby pins (bobbies, as I've heard Amanda call them) but that could also be because my hair wasn't squeaky clean haha. Glad my hair bow is also finally getting some use!
Hmm. Not 100% sold, but there's potential.
Kale Chips
I got this recipe from a marathon runner magazine -- can't remember the name, but I snapped an original camera phone pic of the recipe itself

| Ta-da! |
- Kale is super good for you - it's rich in vitamins A, B-6, C, & K, iron, beta-carotene, lutein, calcium, and iron
- Kale is also super cheap... my grocery store sells it for $.99/pound, and a giant bundle of it only cost me $.80
- Kale chips definitely satisfied my craving for light and crispy and salty -- much healthier than potato chips
Wednesday Whining
Gourmet Lent
My friend Christina and I were discussing Lent today, and how we are already bored with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. My goal this week is to find some fun, packable lunch recipes, but for now, may I present...
My Trader Joe's Lent Survival Kit:
whole wheat gnocchi, polenta, three cheese tortellini, Thai rice noodles, sun dried tomatoes, pineapple, shelled edamame, chickpeas, kiwi fruit and (not pictured): frozen mixed veggies, sweet potatoes, marinara sauce, lentils, beans, rice
Tonight I'm going to be creative and try slicing the polenta and cooking it in the oven - with a sprinkle of shredded cheese and sun dried tomatoes. I can give up meat no problem, but I don't give up dairy and oil until the last week. Anyone have other great Lenten lunch/dinner ideas??
