not a golfer...

...but I do enjoy Caddyshack. After 7 years of waitressing, bartending, and being a beverage cart girl, I am picking up the sticks and playing a round of golf today. It is the employee golf outing and party today. We're playing a round of golf, then swimming while the members grill steaks and chicken for us. My boss is bringing beer and soda for all of us. This is surely the most excited I have ever been for impending and inevitable embarrassment. I borrowed some clubs from my sister and I'm off. Here's hoping I don't like it... who has time for such a time consuming hobby... FOUR HOURS per game?!? geez. I got better stuff to do (like read fashion blogs). Anyway, I hate to say it, but, FORE!

P.S. this is the first shirt I ever screenprinted on my own... I drew it by looking at my little seahorse coin necklace. It rocks. I ought to sell them in the shop... maybe I will...

small post, small collar


I found this crocheted collar at a thrift store for 70 cents! I finally wore it yesterday... I think it looks pretty awesome. I also found a yellow fabric one that is trimmed in lace, I am now motivated to find something to put it on with. Laterz off to be a grown up and shop for a yellow! bridesmaid dress...

four eyes

Ok, I wear contacts, have since 7th grade. I have TERRIBLE vision. I got glasses at the beginning of first grade and they were pretty thick. I remember my mom yelling at me at the eye doctor saying "Christine! Why didn't you tell me you couldn't see?" And there I was, crying and yelling back "I thought that was the way things looked!" Anyway, I had glasses until the summer before seventh grade when an eye doctor suggested that I get contacts to hopefully slow down my rapidly degenerating eyesight. It was such a strain for my eye to see from where it was (you know, in my face) to where the glasses lens was (you know, a whole inch away), that he thought my sight was getting worse due to eye fatigue. So, 15 or so years later, I still wear contacts. I have glasses and I wear them at night and in the morning for a few minutes, but wearing them for any extended amount of time gives me headaches and my eyes hurt. I do, however, miss wearing glasses. They are fun. I am considering getting just clear glass put in some frames I have (until I magically have a few grand laying around for Lasik.) And, I know, I know... glasses are so trendy right now, even American Apparel is making fake glasses.





Pair #1 does not have lenses in them. They were given to me by a friend who works for a reading glasses company. I like them, they are small and brown and great.

















Pair #2 has lenses in them from when they belonged to my friend James. He is in the Air Force and these are US military issued glasses. They are not the right prescription for him anymore and when I went to visit him in Florida, I wore these around to bars for no reason. When I left, he insisted I take them.











So? Which ones should I get glass put in? Or both? I'm thinking it'll be pretty cheap to just put fake lenses in, so maybe both?

P.S. My job interview today went great! I'm hoping I get it! The school and the job are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!
