Frrrrriday

I like these rich, deep tones. They remind me of my family's living room decor circa 1996.

It's Friday everyone! Go celebrate! Run through a field! Sing songs! Dance! Laugh! It's only 2 days before we go back to being desk drones, so live it up!

A Very Brady Weekend

I couldn't be more excited for it to be the weekend. The political season wreaks havoc on the advertising biz & this week marked the pinnacle. Sweet, sweet Friday.

Also tonight we are seeing some pals perform Reefer Madness at Teatro Zuccone and then hanging with said pals. Tomorrow is my bday and Sunday is Halloween. So you understand my impending joy.

I suppose it would be prudent to speak to the title of this here blog. It's not an especially complicated tale. I have always liked the phrase, "A flower is only as good as it's petals." It seems to legitimize being a clotheshorse & makes it a point of sophistication or grace as opposed to a superficial irresponsibility.
Or maybe it's demeaning. I dunno. But I like it.

I had a great weekend. On Saturday morning I got up and had breakfast with my dear friend Bridget who was, I thought, in town for a visit. I found out over eggs that she is actually back in town to live (hooray!). I also found out that she is in recovery from donating bone marrow -- to a stranger! I am so in awe of her selflessness. Especially when hearing the surgery described... Peanut and I also ran some errands before visiting with his fam, ate dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings, and went to a movie. We saw Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. It was pretty lame. But Carey Mulligan was fabulous, she was costumed beautifully and her hair inspired a drastic change in my own -- the very next day.
