Linking up with Amber and Neely!
This week, I've created a theme. (Yay for themes!)
But first.
It's okay that I waited 2 weeks to see The Hunger Games. And yes, I loved it.
It's okay...
...to not like Alaska.
Honest-to-goodness, it's okay!
I came to peace with this many months ago. Actually, about a year ago. I realized my blog didn't look or sound like anything I heard out of my Alaska friends. I didn't look or sound anything like my Alaska friends. They were wearing raincoats and gloves while out hiking in the summer and I was wearing shorts and flip-flops and sitting in front of my fireplace, desperately trying to keep warm, while painting my toenails.
Look at this. Lovely, lacy, lazily falling snowflakes.
Like a Christmas card, isn't it? Beautiful. Makes me think of baking Christmas cookies, wrapping gifts, and one-horse open-sleighing it to Grandma's house.....

This was Saturday.
The day before Easter.
Whatever. I still wore shorts to the gym.
I said, "Nope. You don't get to complain. You live here on purpose."
It's totally okay that I said that.
It's NOT OKAY that Target does this.
That's right, folks. The cute clutch I bought was "on clearance" for $11. The usual price for this clutch was $12.99. ALASKA Target marked it up to $15.99 because they figured that the good people of the Frontier are willing to pay that much. Dear Target: I may have to cut my trips to you down to only once a week.
And continuing with the Alaska theme...it's totally okay that this is what my foyer looks like.
No, I can't fly. I took this from the balcony. |
If you need me, I'll be drinking margaritas in front of the fireplace.
