miscellany monday


happy monday everyone – i haven’t done one of these in a while, so here it is.  i’ve added my random ramblings to carissa’s miscellany monday party!  check out carissa’s blog here and join in on the fun. 

{one} golden globes.  did any of you watch the golden globes last night? i watched most of it, but i missed the first hour and the red carpet pre-show.  i did have a few favorites from last night and there were a handful that i think really missed the mark.  did you have any favorites? which actress/actor made your best and worst list?

{two} race recap.  i ran in a 10k race on saturday and i must say that i’m pretty pleased with my stats for my first race of the new year.  my plan was to finish the race under one hour since i just started training again. i’m not sure where i finished overall in the race because the race officials split the results between men and women.  there were 611 total race finishers and 318 female finishers.   i came in 17th in my age group and i placed overall at 106th among all the female finishers.  my official chip time was 59:16.

{three} mlk day.  unfortunately, i didn’t do anything to celebrate martin luther king day.  i would have liked to go to a parade or some type of organized celebration that recognized the this wonderful, but i was feeling under the weather.  i didn’t leave the house all day, but i watched this amazing video here and thought i would share it with all of you.  it’s a video tribute reflecting on the memories dr. martin luther king by former civil rights leaders, famous writers and politicians.       

{four} sewing lessons.  i’m very excited because i just signed up for a 6 week sewing class at a local university.  i’m really looking forward to learning how to sew and possibly creating my own designs in the near future.  i’ll definitely share with all of you some of the projects that i complete.

Fresh Picks to Follow – Animal Farm


Happy Friday everyone!  I hope that you all have a great weekend planned for yourselves. I’m so excited for this weekend because I don’t have to go to work on Monday.  Are any of you off from work this Monday?  I’m really looking forward to getting some sleep this weekend.  I always feel like I’m playing catch up each weekend.  I also plan to run a 10k tomorrow morning.  It’s supposed to be about 40 degrees when I wake up, so wish me luck.  I’m seriously going to freeze.  I plan to finally tinker with my new camera/take some pictures. 

Over the years, I’m sure that most of you have noticed that several retailers have focused on selling a variety of animal prints for the fall/winter season.  Of course, we are all familiar with the typical leopard, snakeskin, zebra and sometime cow prints on many articles of clothing and accessories.  I personally love theses look and own many pieces.  However, I’m not sure about how I feel about the actual animals displayed all over my clothes.  I looked over my wardrobe and I realized that I don’t have many pieces besides the occasional bird or butterfly motifs on my clothes.  I remember several years ago that J. Crew had embroidered critters on their chino shorts/pants, belts and polo’s.  And I wasn’t sure about the critter-wear look either. 

Anyways, I went to Anthropologie after work today and noticed that my store still has a number of the Fire Ants Maxi Dress for sale.  I just wondered how many people out there own this dress or any of the many other animal prints out there.  What are your thoughts about this trend?  Do you have some clothing covered in animals?  What’s your favorite piece?  Here are 10 critter friendly ideas for the ladies that love their clothing printed with animals.
