orange is the new Morrissey

recovering
from paint nite in PVD and doing waaaay too much yard work (admittedly, ANY yard work is waaaaay too much;)  my fingernails are black and blue and NOT in a good Michael Stipe too-interesting-for-you way ;)

loving
pale pink peonies.  i know i know they'll die (they are an actual living plant!!  who knew!!!!) but i am going to water the hell out of them so it can't even claim i didn't love it when it's dead (because i got bored and stopped watering it 36 hours after buying it)

wishing
i could find bluebells.  maybe i dreamt they are extinct...?  hmm. maybe i'm not the best person to cultivate them if they are almost extinct....

wearing
Jo Malone earl grey and cucumber.  ALL the time.  and drinking iced earl grey.  ALL the time.

hating
that Morrissey and Orange is the New Black are the same weekend.  what on earth am i supposed to do????!!!!

dyyyying
to fill the dogdamn hot tub already.  we have had it TWO WHOLE WEEKS already!  it's time already!!!!  i want the water to be lavender scented and to sip iced earl grey under the stars listening to the second half of Automatic for the People :)  (oh yeah in the olden days there were halves... and usually only the first half was good... then it was bad.  it's the opposite for Automatic for the People)

going
to Athens this Summer.  and Kill Devil Hills.  and New Orleans.  basically a R.E.M. playlist roadtrip Summer vacation :)

hating
Smashburger black bean burgers.  bleck.  imagine eating a (still warm) poopy diaper.  but worse!  more lumpy and unexpectedly awful.  Xing that experience with jumbo black sharpie out of my mind.  FOREVER!!!!

wearing
swishy dresses every single day this Summer.  Melissa, thank you for being a total style icon to me (i adore and thank you for inspiring me to try pretty dresses, Kate Spade accessories and anything perfectly feminine and lovely to wear xoxoxoxo)

off to Cape Cod for breakfast, shopping and sweet funny beautiful company (seriously.... does it get better than that??)
