we all have a thing

i have to wake up oh so early tomorrow.

i think i like that idea. even though it's 1:30 am and i'm still eating a cookout milkshake

(banana pudding with m&ms... the most ingenious combination)

and that can't be good for me.

really? i like that you can celebrate mornings every day if you want.
tea, eggs, english muffins, coffee, reading, quiet.
i will fall in love with someone who will celebrate mornings with me.

i read somewhere that women who eat 600 calories during breakfast lose more weight than those who eat less or nothing for breakfast over a given period of time. (it's those discovery health articles)
seriously, i love breakfast. it's magic.

this is coming from the girl who has slept in to at least noon every day since sunday.
(i went to a 6pm church service at Vintage21)
that's totally allowed on spring break!

today i filled out crazy fafsa applications (biggest relief ever to have that done)
hugged my sisters
kissed the little nuggets
hung out with jess even if for a minute
wrote a nice little song i'm pretty excited about
walked around saks fifth avenue to absorb the atmosphere of luxury
(it's like when you're on a diet and you smell the food instead of eating it, or, if you're dolly parton, you CHEW the food and don't eat it??)
and i saw my friend from my belk days who had transferred to saks, and she absolutely gave me a TON of samples:

chanel - teint innosense foundation in cameo
creed- audrey hepburn had the "spring flower" scent made just for her and made a contract with creed to not release it to the public until after her death. got somma dat.
jo malone - all organic fragrances, so fresh and crisp, and beautifully packaged!

i know this sounds ridiculous. but i swear... it's therapeutic. i felt like i should go to a support group.
"i really like louis vuitton luggage and i want the set"
"i kind of want these miu miu's?"
"if i had a ton of money i might buy this stuff someday... but also give lots of it away??!?! is that okay?!?"

you know, support groups.
maybe i'll even stop at southpoint on the way back to boone tomorrow.
no yes no yes no yes no!

don't worry, i'll be happily back to starbucks-less, mountain hardwear-wearing don't use plastic don't use MONEY boone girl tomorrow.
