Is That You, John Wayne? Is this me?
SHIRT: Lulu’s (similar)
HOOP EARRINGS: vintage, from my mother
To explain the lack of quality photos lately, without Eric I don’t have anyone readily available to take outfit photos so it’s just me and my Mac. Eventually I’ll get a tripod (but first, a job!) and then I’ll be an independent woman:
Until then, shoddy Photobooth photos will have to suffice unless I can get Matt or Megan to agree to be my photographer.
Anyway, I was feeling a little blue earlier for a number of reasons and didn’t know quite how to cope with it. My usual coping mechanism of go-to-bar-get-quite-drunk didn’t sound very fun so instead I went and did over two hours of yoga. First, Lance’s 6pm Hatha class. Then, Mary’s 7:30pm Hatha Flow class. That helped a little bit, but I was still a little lonely and a little melancholy.
Which is probably why I found myself at 10:30pm at HEB scouring the shelves for vanilla extract and brown sugar so as to bake Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Also known as my favorite cookies. Also known as the reason I live. I used this recipe from Bakergirl and didn’t change anything because I’m not enough of an experienced baker to tinker with things. Although next time I may throw some coconut in there because I have some lying around.
A quick word about Bakergirl - she is by far my favorite cooking/baking blog mistress because her photos are amazing. It’s basically cookie porn.
Anyway, my photos are far crummier (sorry) but here’s a look at the finished product. I’ve already eaten like.. 6 of them. Oops. Main complaint: insufficient oats! To be remedied next time.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, yes, baking helped my mood. Also, Blue Planet narrated by David Attenborough.
Another Saturday Night
SHIRT: Mikkat Market
LIPSTICK: Revlon Blase Apricot
Sitting and sipping whiskey, waiting for Alexis to come over so we can go dancing. I’ve been listening to Sam Cooke for about an hour now, not exactly the right kind of music to get your dancing mood on. At least not this song.
I have these sad little black boots that in a state of utter disarray. I’m sort of embarrassed to be seen in them because there’s a hole in the sole and the heels have been worn raw, but they’re so goddamn comfortable and I can’t find any mid-calf, low-heeled black leather boots no matter how hard I try so I keep on wearing them despite the fact that they make me look utterly disheveled and marginally homeless.
Last weekend when I went to Houston my mother expressed concern over the condition of my shoes. I think she’s worried that now that I’m unemployed I can’t afford decent shoes and will end up roaming Austin looking like a street urchin a la Oliver Twist. She offered to buy me a new pair (pity shoes, I’ll take it!) but I have yet to find a pair I like. Any suggestions?
Huevos de la Revolucion!
I’m back from Playa del Carmen, Mexico! I’m sunburned and tired, but I had so much fun (even though it rained 3 of the 4 days we were there). I’m thrilled to be back home, though, and to sleep in my bed!
Being back makes me want to do this:
Which in turn requires lots of these:
You may be wondering about this entry’s title (or not, who knows). While in Mexico, my sister and I picked up some Spanish. One of our favorite phrases was “huevos revoltados,” the Mexican way of saying scrambled eggs which loosely translates to “eggs in revolt.” This, naturally, conjured up many images of eggs in the midst of a rebellion so we then amused ourselves by coming up with phrases like “huevos de la revolucion!” and “huevos de la guerra!” etc etc.
I entertained myself a good deal at work earlier today drawing pictures of eggs at war, but I have no scanner so they will remain mine alone. Additionally, my camera seems to have decided to stop functioning so I cannot upload my vacation photos.
One of these days I’ll post photos of myself wearing something cool and you will all rejoice and say “Ah! There is the Cami we know and love!” But until that day LMFAO music videos will have to suffice.
