it’s pretty gross outside today. lots of rain. very humid. luckily not 105 degrees as it has been the past few weeks. survivable, but not preferable.

something about the dreariness makes the day go even slower, and just makes me that much more tired.

now, however, i have had enough caffeine to keep me up until tomorrow. somehow it seemed like a good idea to down a medium white chocolate mocha with a shot of raspberry then follow it with a diet coke and a cup of tea. now as i find it difficult to sit still i am beginning to rethink the idea.

the coffee was deliiiicious though. after work i met a friend of a friend for coffee at Cafe Avanti. i wasn’t sure what to expect when i ordered my drink of choice, because typically everyone but starbuck’s makes it taste awful, but i must say i was quite pleased.

perfect amount of whipped cream and raspberry.

so this is weird, until just now, i never realized that raspberry is spelled with a p. somehow i always just thought it was rasberry.

i mean, that doesn’t even really look right, and spell check confirmed my suspicions, but really, a p?? who knew?!

i’m not really sure how i’ve missed that for all these years…

surely i’m not the only one.

today i was watching my super sweet 16 (i know, i know, i’m ashamed for myself as well), but anyway, i was watching it, and the girl on the show had my EXACT bedding, and matching sheets. it was rather creepy. but kind of neat, because she has a lot of money, and presumably with money comes style. thus, i must have style–despite my lack of money.

i’m so logical, i know.

so on a whim my little sister and i did some shopping on saturday. i made out like a bandit.

listen–i am now the proud owner of red, polka-dotted flats.

and i got them for TEN dollars at Baker’s. now i haven’t quite found anything to wear them with yet, but i know that the time will come when these shoes will make the outfit.

i’m not typically one to match outfits to my shoes, but these are probably worth it due to their extremely high cuteness factor. perhaps when my laziness subsides i will show you what they look like. until that point, you will have to imagine their awesomeness.
okay, and finally, i need opinions.
i’m looking to purchase a laptop. nothing over the top, but more than just the basics. it will become my primary machine, so it needs to be of decent quality and speed.

i don’t want to spend more than $1000.

what should i get…?

i keep hearing, “get an apple, get an apple,” but i’m just not sure i’m convinced yet. please offer your argument here. or not.

but really though, i do need help in this decision. i want to feel as if i am not the only deciding factor here. thank you :)

but I guess i’ll have to settle for a few brief moments
and watch it all dissolve into a single second
try to write it down into a perfect sonnet
or one foolish line

bright eyes–a perfect sonnet
