Thoughts of a sick girl

So I'm stuck in bed sick with the worst cold and my laptop is my big source of entertainment (that and leaving the window open, enjoying the fresh breeze, and trying out my future career as a neighborhood gossip by listening intently to everything I can catch my fellow 209ers saying... but anyways, thats besides the point). My real point was, I've exhausted myspace, facebook, etsy, stalking random profiles on myspace, you get the picture. After getting an e-mail from urban outfitters that said "Dear Amy, we hate you so we're holding our annual yard sale this week that we know you love while you're sick. ha ha. Enjoy thinking about all the fabulous finds you could have picked up between '$10-$20' if you weren't sick with the devils own cold"... or something along those lines. Well... after my heart shattered in to about a million pieces I decided to comfort myself at urban out(wait.... someone is talking outside... what was that?!)fitters big sister store. My soulmate of a store. My one true love. Anthropologie.


How amazing is this top? I mean really... with a pair of little white shorts and these shoes...





oh and then if I was going to decide to go on a spontaneous vacation somewhere fabulous for the weekend I could pack my new fabulous shirt in this!


I'm pretty sure all of these goodies would instantly heal me! I can't swear to it but I'm 99% sure.

Tarragon Salad




Summer is finally here full force and when it gets this hot out two of the things that I always crave are grapefruit and avocado. I finally got inspired to try putting them together and let me tell you, it was magical! This is officially my summer salad! I added thin slices of avocado and slices of grapefruit over a bed of organic baby greens with the most amazing tarragon vinaigrette!

I found this recipe for the life changing vinaigrette over at Green Colander

1/4 cup white wine vinegar

3/4 cup olive oil (I'm hooked on Safeway's O Organic brand)

1 large clove garlic, minced

generous grind of fresh black pepper

1 tsp sea salt

1 heaping Tbsp chopped fresh tarragon

1 tsp chopped fresh chives

Whisk together ingredients and you're set!


Really... if you're not already slicing your avocados... get to it! You will fall in love! I guarantee!

Career Options?

So today I've been struck with a few possible career options and these are the top 3...


Scientist: More specifically a disease curing scientist.... I decided that would be awesome this morning. I could really see myself doing that. The world would be a much better place without disease! I'm pretty sure it will just happen as soon as I become a scientist... I mean I'm already half way there.... I'm a social scientist. I just need to stop being so social and get down to bizz.


Country Western Singer: Well... ok it's true... I really don't love country music BUT I think I have Jolene by Dolly Parton down pat (that is one countryish song that I just adore). Plus I've been developing this love for big blonde hair.... I'm using my scientific ways to learn to make it bigger every day. I'm pretty impressed with myself.


Chocolate Truffle Maker: Lets just say this... I make Godiva look like a fraud!


The girls in class told me I was way to chipper and cheerful and positive to be a social worker..... so... looks like thats out and one of these is in. Any votes? Possibly I could do all 3! As I'm curing someone's disease I'll sing them Jolene and then hand them a truffle as a parting gift!


I think it's all solved! Now what major would this be under?

The perfect summer bag

So maybe it was a goodshare the name... San Tropez Sunday.... or maybe it was the big white bow.... or the organic fabric.... or the super cute lining and pocket...what ever it was, it is love.

I bought my pretty little bag this morning when one of my headbands was featured in a treasury along side it. Anyways... I think it will be perfect for summer and I just adore the shop it came from... I'm sure this wont be my last purchase from shecological.etsy.com
