April 1 – April 7

Graduation is just over a month away. I am doing a lot of graduation-related things – talking to my family about travel plans, ordering a cap and gown, trying to muster up some energy to send graduation announcements.

I want to buy a dress. I have a wedding the next weekend, too, so it would be nice to have something fresh to wear.

Buying a dress. This should be fun. I never buy clothes, especially not non-necessities (trying to find a decent black cardigan or pair of jeans isn’t exactly enthralling). But I have been looking ALL WEEKEND and apparently I have impossible specifications?

All I want is a dress that is

• Longer than my knees (or at least longer than other people’s knees, which means it will be just right on me)
• In stock in my size
• In the 30-60 dollar range
• Not black
• More substantial than spaghetti straps or zero-straps

I’ve narrowed it down to the two orange selections above. I really like the blue, but alas, it is out of stock.

But now I can’t decide which one to buy… and have I even checked everywhere? I’ve scoured through Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, J Crew, Modcloth, eShakti… on Target’s website, I narrowed my search down and was left with six choices – three of which were Maternity dresses.

Agh. Shopping. You suck.

Reading:

• I’ve been dipping in and out of books like a complete slut. Books including but not limited to:
• What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen
• Hold Me Closer, Necromancer by Lish McBride
• Candy Girl by Diablo Cody
• Tweak by Nic Sheff

Listening to:

• Nothing by WTF with Marc Maron. Diablo Cody. Jeffrey Tambor. Paul Gilmartin (so awkward…) Weird Al.

Watching:

• More LOST – on to Season 2!
• Frasier (please don’t ask)
• I finally watched Babies! Loved it.
