Monday Mischief: I'm Back!!

Thanks for bearing with me during my dry spell these past few weeks! My written exams are over, but I don't find out until next Monday if I passed, so I still have a bit of that sick, anxious feeling... I feel so out-of-touch with the world, so it might take me a bit to get back in the swing of things! What did I miss???


I was like a lost soul this weekend -- I actually had time to do whatever I wanted, but I could barely remember what it was like to have freedom. My boyfriend and I did a bit of shopping [I have to break myself in slowly...], and I found this gorgeously embellished copy of Tennyson's poems from 1882 in a used bookstore. It was a complete steal...I think no one loves poetry anymore!?! It is in such lovely condition and there are delicate, romantic etchings on the inside.

I did a bit of online shopping -- I always manage to convince my self that when I've been working hard, I deserve to treat myself...do you guys do that? I am hoping my package will arrive today with these three things from Urban Outfitters: A biker jacket that doubles as a sweatshirt, a stretchy-sexy-but-not-too-sexy bustier top, and a 50's inspired bathing suit...

For me, bathing suit shopping is like the 7-levels of hell, so we'll see how this fares on the scale of bearably awful [which counts as 10 on my scale] to just-kill-me [a definite 0 on my scale]...
