Minutiae

It was chilly this morning and even into 10am it was chilly. Nice! It was also cloudy, NICER! As much as I love the beach and the sun, a chill in Austin is always nice because usually you get is sun, heat and humidity and ther is no beach and I can't take sun sans beach all year.

I am so hungry. The cruise ship got me used to eating at all times. How did I get into that habit after one week? But I am now hungry 9am-3pm non- stop. Nothing can make it go away. I thought my mega avocado and spinach sandwich, candy bar and soup I brought and thought that would really keep me feeling full until at least 2pm but it was gone by 10am! All three were my breakfast.

Because I am hungry I am thinking of Sarcone's again in Philadelphia. UGH! Wish they could ship me a large Sinatra Hoagie. How many times have I mentioned that place and Seeger's Bakery (South Main Street in Del Rio,TX) on this blog....But those two places really had heavenly eats. Seeger's sighyummmmmmmmmm

Did I mention their Boston cream pies? During the summer they were so cold and light and fluffy and just sweet enough. Their cream puffs, not a place in Austin can hold a candle to those yummy, perfect lil cream puffs always sprinkled with powdered sugar. The creamed horns yummmmmmm the cookies and lil carton of milk and they'd fit it all in a lil bag for you to carry out. I wish I could just walk into the place right now.


Obscure minutiae:
Note: Why not take little metal bottle tops and nail them to your living room floor. It gives you the impression that you are walking on little metal bottle tops.

Fashion Forecast:Necklines are plunging lower every year. This year the V will go down to the tummy in something of a peek-a-boo effect. Keep this swing of fashion and sort of have your own personal navel observatory.

Summer 2006

This is my own personal In and Out List for Summer 2006:

1. 70s and 80s style tube tops, yes those terry ones
2. 60s and 70s halter tops with tie straps and are shirred at the waist with elastic
3. Vintage tennis and golf apparel(by Haymaker)
4. Always: The cute 100% cotton strappy sundress
5. Vintage Malia dresses (below)

6. Callanetics (making a comeback as Windsor Pilates but hey...)
7. Sunblock (stop the aging process with it and still get sun)
8. Big sun hats
9. Handmade leather sandals (KINO Sandals) leather flats or otherwise
10. Make your own simple, summer dresses and skirts or find them thrifting

Out
1. Abs of Steel(never craved a six pack, reminds me of insect bodies, though buns of steel are always in, at least with me)
2. J. Crew
3. Polyester in the Texas heat (I love many a polyester ensemble but a woman in Vegas told me she believed they caused cancer. I think they are just umbearable in the summer)

We're Married!



We were engaged last June but the planning for the wedding didn't start until late December for an April 8th date. It worked out. The wedding was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. Things went smoothly. On April 9th we sailed on Rhapsody of the Seas for a one week cruise. It was my first ever and I am hooked. Key West, Florida was uber cool, Grand Cayman was gorgeous and Cozumel was a dream. We came within 23 miles of Cuba and had Cuban food! Hung out with stingrays, and had a private beach to ourselves. We got to see cool shows, eat fantastic food!

Nothing like a beach and the ocean. Why did my ancestors move so far from the ocean!? I've never been on a vacation before where it's just total relaxation. Cruises rule! Better than Vegas, better than any vacation I have ever been on. I highly recommend a cruise in the Spring.
