i need more daytime friends.
today is the most gorgeous saturday i can remember.
this is the kind of day you call up friends to go chill on a front porch, go to maymont or byrd park, or the good ol' james river. so far i haven't done any of those things and i've been operating on a solo mission since i woke up this morning.
i got up early-ish, rolled over to henry to see if they had anything good for their memorial day sale. i feel like the people that work there must hate me. i go in there, look at literally every shirt, remember that i am terrified of bold fashion choices, and i walk out without buying anything. i do this once a month. i did buy one shirt a while back, but it's a terrible track record, considering how many times i've been there.
the whole thing has inspired me to create a boutique clothing store of my own. maybe i'll call it "safe". and it will just have non-terrifying fashion choices, shirts that look flattering on slightly bigger dudes, little tags on all the t-shirts that explain any obscure references, and of course, racks upon racks of tasteful looking cowboy snap shirts.
after that i went to smoothie king and tried a new fruit flavor - blueberry. not good. too bland.
i sat outside smoothie king for about an hour, reading an RVA magazine i picked up earlier.
after that i went to ellwood thompsons to look for some pre-made fresh delicious food for people with jaws wired shut. i picked up some cous cous, some curry rice, and some noodle dish that i'll need to chop up, but will probably taste awesome considering i have so few food option these days.
that's it. that's my solo mission.
now i'm sitting here, waiting for one of my many various text messages to be responded to, and hopefully find some people that are trying to relax on a picnic blanket or a park bench somewhere and read a book.
any takers?

ugh, you're right. today is too nice to spend writing cover letters. there's one PBR left in my parents' house and after i hit publish i know where it's going...
phil, i would awkwardly be your daytime friend if i weren't, ridiculously far from virginia.
We will be pre-gaming at my house for a bit starting at 7pm, so if you're down just roll on over.
Seriously, daytime friends can be tricky. Morning friends are even more difficult. I'm on "Mom time" on Saturday mornings. They are always out in full force.
I wish I could get Brandon to step out of the "safe" fashion choices. I not only have to dress my toddler every day, but often I find myself telling my poor husband what to wear too. Some guys just like the safe choices.
Safe = timeless and classic. You can never go wrong.
But your store probably won't have any seasonal "that's soooo last month..." clearances.
However, staying on the safe side is never a bad thing.

Fashion fades, but true style is never dated.
geez, if only VA and CT were closer together! on sunday i finally went to the top of west rock, the huge cliff near my apartment, and went to the lookout and played in the cave (which some judges hid out in way back when after signing king charles' death warrant!) since my family and an old roomie were in town for my graduation. i think you would have enjoyed it. i'm planning a picnic for later in the summer but, sadly, i doubt you can make it.
however, on the off-chance i make it down for this http://www.bestfriendsday08.com/ you should go with me to see lemuria.
