Oh, and Thought For The Day

Powder won't change Who You Are

(Thanks Anna, and Indexed!)

Back (in the) Black! And a few things I've slavered over lately.

Ahh, gotta love the beginning of the month. A fresh start, clean slate, new beginning. And a chance to rehaul accounts to bring 'em up to date. Hooray! Except I can't add with a calculator, so that's always a pain for me. But the results? Totally worth it; I found a little extra somethin'-somethin' in my accounts that I immediately dropped into my Free Money Fund.

And what's on the agenda? Clothes, right? Sure; picked up a few awesome ruched t-shirts at H&M, along with a casual blouse that has a drawstring waistband. Perfect for folks like me who are larger on one end than on the other. Score!

H&M also has a Fashion Against Aids section on their Web site, where you can take a look at T's tanks and bodysuits designed by famous folks for the cause. Yes, bodysuits. Katy Perry's creation is really amazing and makes me almost regret my no-bodysuit rule. Instead, I'm kinda stuck on Yoko Ono's Imagine Peace shirt, a mishmosh of different languages spelling out the same message which doesn't seem to be on the site but is in stores. And at under 17 bucks, I may have to go back and add it to my collection. Hey, it's for a fantastic cause, right? Absolutely. The site has a section where you can create avatars and ringtones, all for free. That makes me all happy inside.

Another bargain that you can hit at the same time if you're in White Flint is the Buy 4 Books/Get The 5th Free deal at Borders. Any book. Lowest priced is free. So I took the opportunity to stock up on Katie MacAlister books -- who knew I was so far behind! If you haven't cracked open one of her books yet, get to crackin'. Seriously, they're fun books with really (REALLY) well written characters.

I also did a little shopping on the interwebs at a site I love heading to for techie stuff, Buy.com. I grabbed a pair of Forever Flashlights that supposedly never die 'cause all you do is shake them to crank the battery. (And am I the only one who thinks that pervy guys or porn stars will have NO problem charging these flashlights?) I'm kinda hoping for cammo, but any color is nice. Hey, I could use them to read in the dark when I'm too lazy to turn on my nightstand lamp! And think of all the horror movie situations that would have been so much better if they'd only had one of these babies. Ah well; who needs that many horny teens in the world?

Bargain T-shirts, books to read I don't have to write about and flashlights that will never die -- I feel so decadent. Off to have someone peel me a grape.
