I adore romance. However, I have the bad habit of cracking up during what are supposed to be serious romantic scenes. I've been watching the Return to Cranford and sincerely enjoying it. Tom Hiddleston is in it - Loki from Thor and Avengers - I've really started to like him. I liked him even when he was a bad guy, but now that he's the good guy you root for I absolutely adore him. I have such a weakness for period English shows. Cranford always makes me think of the Shakespear play Much to do about Nothing. Watch the tv show and I think you'll understand.

I have officially stepped into the modern world with my first ever smart phone. My last phone I have had for almost four years, and while I adore it (and the I heart voting stick on the back) it was becoming increasingly annoying as the buttons weren't working. Yeah, it had buttons and it's small. I've liked that I didn't have a smart phone, but it's nearly impossible to find a good non-smart phone. So I'm happily conceding to the modern world. I can listen to music on it and surf the web and read books on it! What marvels! So now I happy to introduce my instragram account to those that might want to follow. ---> instragram

Happy Valentine's Day

Writing Wednesdays

As I write this I am suffering from the coffee jitters. Believe it or not I have only had one cup of coffee, but drinking coffee on an empty stomach, a really bad idea. I try, about once a week, to get out of the house for some me time. There is this cute cafe that I like to go to, I've taken pictures a bunch of times in their parking lot. (here, here, and here) I call these Writing Wednesdays, while I don't always go on Wednesday, Tuesdays are more likely, I take the time to update my journal, do any work that I have been procrastinating about, take outfit photos, and catch up on emails.

Mainly today I have learned that drinking coffee, no matter how much, on an empty stomach is deadly; and people love a redhead. Seriously, redheads have to stay together, no matter whether they are real or faux.

So a common faux-pas is redheads dressing in red. I understand where this can be a serious mistake, however I believe what really only matters is the shade of red. My outfit theme was red, white, and black. I also taught a fellow redhead that you can wear red lipstick with red hair.

Okay so I'm getting really jittery, so I should head out and use some of this extra energy before my jitters makes the whole cafe shake.
