Thursday evening with a Girl Named Chuck and a pie maker.

Discouraging day + being on a diet (so no skinny cow ice cream at then end of the discouraging day) = a severe need for the best TV show in the world: Pushing Daisies.

Recipe for why this is the most delicious TV show I've ever seen:

-1 C of Mr Unbelievably-Cute-Face; Lee Pace

-a few tbsp of the adorable Anna Friel as the girl named "Chuck"

-1 (mini) C of the epic Christin Chenoweth

-some big heaping spoon fulls of intelligent writing and witty banter

-a dash of musical numbers

-and sift in the  most dreamy wardrobe on the tube.

Not to mention, Pushing Daisies has one of the sweetest kisses in film history...

If you haven't seen it... don't wait aaaany longer.  Please go and watch the first episode ASAP and then as many more as you have time to sit through.  They'll make you want to fall in love, or go hold hands with someone special.  They'll make you want to bake pies of all shapes and sizes.  They always make me want to go vintage shopping, and be brave enough to wrap scarves on my head while wearing cat-eye sunglasses.

After watching a few episodes this afternoon, not only did I feel relaxed and satisfied, I decided to add something new to my "to-do" list.  I decided I need to find me a "Ned".  A shy and slightly awkward, witty-bantering, pie-making boy with one of those cutest-smiles-you've-ever-seen. 

Know any?? 

Hahaha  I'll keep an eye out for one....

My Green Pants

No no no, this is not a post about the great Dr Seuss's "The Pale Green Pants With Nobody Inside Them".  (Although, as a serious lover of children's books, that is quite a fabulous book and may subconsciously the reason I was brave enough to purchase green pants in the first place...)

Nope.  This is a post about my green pants.  And they're more turquoise, not pale green.  I love them dearly (especially when there IS someone inside them... aka: me).

They're like my power tie.  They give me confidence.  I wore them to today on my way to talk to people about art schools and also show some samples of cake toppers/hand out business cards to bakeries in Austin.

(PS-Here's a gander at my business card.... I'm in LOVE. And I had soooo much fun passing them out today!!)

My green pants have been with me all over the place.  I got them while still in school, and they've even traveled with me to the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France!  We've had quite a few adventures together.  They're my go-to when my outfit needs a little spunk.  They're an invaluable asset to my wardrobe.

But ya'll, I have a big problem: they're on their last leg.  Literally!  I'm getting nervous about it too.  Once they're done, how will I fill all the voids that will appear in my wardrobe, my confidence... my sense of self?? 

So here's what I need help with; I think--and really, let me know how you feel about this--the answer to my dilema is...PURPLE pants.  Maybe even corduroy PURPLE pants...  Imma think about this for a few days.  Probably wait until I have a bit more of a cash-flow; and then I'm thinking I'm gonna go for it.  I feel like my future depends on it.  Jobs, travel, dates, etc... So much is riding on these purple pants...  or maybe mustard-y yellow...  blue even.... ??  I'll wait to hear from you, and go consult with my fashion peeps. AKA: my mom.

Grateful for:
Patriarchal Blessings.
