yes, i accidentally wore two different shoes to work, and didn’t notice until my friend pointed it out to me when i got in.

i have NO IDEA how this happens.

proof that my brain is, in fact, leaking out of my head.

have serious problem.  not like, darfur-region-conflict serious, but like, i finally found the watch i ADORE and am having drooling issues about serious.

see this:

this is my watch.  this is exactly what i want to have on my wrist.  forever.  it is a vestal rosewood acetate watch in white (and black, and wood, actually).  i have found them in nearly every other color, but not silver on white. and the black one is fantastic as well, and i have trouble deciding.  leaning towards white.  it is currently being sold on ebay here.

it is also nearly $100. 

can i really be entrusted with a $100 watch?  for this watch, yes.

but this is coming from the girl who buys her sunglasses at ross or target because i shove them in the nearest bag to me, thus scratching them beyond oblivion and having to replace them. 

but, ohhhhhhh, this watch.  can't bring myself to buy it.  so far.  oh boy.

i'd say sorry for this materialistic ridiculous outburst, but i'm too busy staring at this smorgasbundle of time-keeping goodness...

“Happiness, the research confirms, is derived from strong relationships, using your core talents, living a life according to your values, and connecting to something larger than yourself so you have a sense of meaning.”

from the chicago tribune.  i rather liked this.  you should answer.  repost.  write down.  reblog.  or just ponder.  whathaveyou.

YEAR IN REVIEW

When you consciously review your year, you may notice how little you noticed it as it whizzed past. To review is to re-view. To rewind, pause, look again. And in looking again, to see more clearly.

You may be astonished by how much happened. And how much didn’t. By how much has changed. And how much hasn’t. You may laugh or sigh to notice that your life remains its usual jumble of contradictions.
