what i wore on january 22, 2010.....

one year ago today i nervously made my inaugural off of broadway blog post. it was with sweaty palms that i first hit the 'publish post' button and i never would have thought that a mere 365 days later i'd be where i am right now with so many new friends. it's been a super fun journey, but it's all thanks to you guys! it's not sappy, it's true. what the heck would i be doing if i didn't have all of you reading each day? wearing sweats and being the creepy girl who stalks your blogs and never leaves comments because she's too shy and drinks too much, that's where i'd be!!!! but i digresssssssssss. thanks for the memories! now let's make more, shall we?

and the winner of the sofa purse is nicole of employed panache!!! thanks so much to all of you for entering and reading and wearing clothes and blogging and being awesome :)

and the winner is.....

the winner of the giveaway is lucy of dear fish!!!!!! yay!!!

so the offerings for the giveaway are a vintage clutch bag that looks black but is really a very dark navy and a set of 4 handmade christmas cards. lucy, i hope you love these and that the cards can get you started on your gift giving this year :)

thanks to you ladies who have joined me in the pledge. i think it's pretty cool. and even if you didn't join us in time for the giveaway, i hope that you'll consider making the pledge this year anyway. for no other reason than it makes finding presents for family a lot more fun. it's the thrill of the hunt, right?

song of the day: total eclipse of the heart by bonnie tyler

gosh, i did a horrible job of hiding the remote this time. you can see it in every picture. oh well. this dress is so comfortable and i really only wear it around the house or to run small errands because it's now off-black with all the washings. i've considered buying a black fabric dye to freshen it up a bit. have any of you ever done such a thing? does it work or is it not not worth the trouble? this dress used to have pockets but it was way too big for me so i took up the side seams and had to forgo the pockets, much to my chagrin. i guess i could've reattached them, but that would've been much more involved and taken up a lot more of my precious time so i cut them out. i mean, i totally couldn't spare an extra five minutes in my day to sew around the pockets. i told you i was lazy!

and i haven't worn makeup for the last few days. i need to do a complete overhaul of my stuff as my face is breaking out like crazy! i'm giving it a break and will try and make it to the store to find something different. i am way to old to be dealing with this crap.

ok, i know you guys don't care about all my rambling. you know it's wednesday and i'm supposed to announce the winner of the giveaway. alright, in an effort to keep you all happy and coming back, i'll oblige you.

and the winner is....
