Day 43: "Yeah, my modesty is pretty awesome."

Today is such a better day. Such a better day. It's hard to believe that the past two days even happened because I feel no latent effects from them.

I woke up a little tired, so I stayed in bed watching Food Network and Nitro Circus while texting with Amy and Lauren. Then, when I decided to actually do something today, I put on one of my favorite summer dresses and did my make up before heading out to the library. I'm mostly happy about the summer dress/make up combo because it resulted in a fair amount of, um, "attention" today. The library, by the way, is nerd paradise. If there was a library on the beach that had a full bar, I would be in Heaven. (Business idea?) Then I brought back some serious Second South memories by cooking with Nutella. Now I'm just watching the sun go down and debating between reading one of my library books and watching the final part of Tin Man on DVD. If I feel really ambitious, maybe I'll do both.

I have no complaints.

Today, I am grateful for:

• The Ultimate Dessert Sandwich. I decided to put Nutella between two pieces of savory french toast and then drizzle it all with a white wine and raspberry compote. It was the best idea I've ever had. So. good.
• texting back and forth with Amy with limited interruptions. We haven't spent the day texting in a while.
• dresses and heels. It always feels good to look good.
• puff pastry dough. Tomorrow I'm going to see what happens when I fill puff pastry balls with Nutella. It'll hopefully be like a modified cream puff.
• Francesca's. They are the source of most of my dresses, and since I'm on a huge dresses kick, that makes me love them.
