My turn at color blocking and trays I'm lusting over.

My nails are color blocked.

There really are two different colors going on up there, the lighting just doesn't show it that well. This is as about as avant-garde as I get, fashion wise; nail choices that have already been done. Oh well, it makes me happy.

It is true, in case you were curious, that I have posted two practically identical pictures. I have an iphone and it has a feature that will take two versions of the same picture; different exposure, brighter colors, etc.. I just like how it's the same thing but looks quite a bit varied.
Anyway.

I've been eying these two trays at Target for, like, three months. I think the colors are fabulous and I am so utterly WOOED by the striations of hues in item #2; these would most definitely brighten my life daily.  
But.
I refuse to buy either. Though I'd love to have both laying around, I have two reasons and they are 1} we're moving very soon {tomorrow I can say "next month"} and the fewer things we own, the better. This is especially so since our new place will probably be smaller than where we live now...and 2} we don't entertain enough! One day we'll be more exciting people who have busy social schedules and we can put out cute little high and low ball glasses on these types of trays but as of now, it's my mom every once an a while and each other and that's about it as far as that goes. At least I have pictures to remind me of how CUTE these things are.
It's almost Friday and the Greek Festival! Go get free tickets HERE and then spend your ticket money on delicious, delicious food.
Opa!

Change of plans, some random thoughts.

I had been gearing up to rant about where we live. The weather has been a bit cooler than I like {think 70s} and I had recently, out of curiosity, checked out home prices here {Bay Area} compared to where we went to college and to where Mike's family lives {AZ}. These two things were enough to get me going, oddly enough, on how cold and unaffordable it is where we live. Especially when it's at least twice as much as those other two places {whiles salaries there are not half as much as they are here}. Which is silly. It's beautiful here, there's not 80% humidity and 80 degree days nor do we even get snow. We're within several hours of the beach, mountains, redwoods, what have you. Anyway, I got over it. It is still so expensive, though...
Since I've been all over the place blogging-wise recently {which is exactly the beauty of a personal blog hee hee} I'll continue on that jag. 
I wish there were a way to reference articles within a blog post much how one is able to do on facebook which is precisely how I noticed this article this morning

Click on the fair Duchess of Cambridge or the link below her to read the article. It's about panty-hose! ¡Qué ridículo ja ja ja! {quick, what movie is that quote from?!?!} Oh my goodness the last time I wore any was like the eighth grade and they were egg shell colored! We used to have this fashion show in high school and my friends wore some to the try-outs we all went to {now that's <>}. The overly chic model-teacher {?} told them to take them off! Maybe, though, they'd be fun to try out? What do you think?  I don't often wear closed-toed anything except running shoes and that just wouldn't work.
My aunt and I are going to a Silpada sale today; fun!
Happy Thursday!
