So I'm a bit on the frugal side...

Ben, on my need to find a dress for summer wedding season:

"As for a dress, my humble advice to you is this: the likelihood that you will find a beautiful gown increases exponentially when you allow yourself to consider pieces whose cost exceeds $5. Open your mind, Karen; let the beauty in. Embrace the aesthetic bliss."

Bullseye

Lately, Patrick has been trying, rather unsuccessfully I had thought, to teach me to play darts. Hand-eye coordination games have never been my forte; in the past, I've typically excelled at sports like distance swimming, which requires only brute force and determination, and fighting with my brother, which again, requires only brute force and determination. So you can imagine my delight when I had a breakthrough victory this past weekend and, in Robin Hood fashion, pegged my first dart with my second dart. Check out my handiwork below.

I heart Jimmy Fallon

Things that make me feel better when I'm sick:

-ramen noodles
-ice cream
-hot baths
-my mom

but mostly... Jimmy Fallon. His interview with Tina Fey made me laugh until I cried.

two hours later...

Just got the call... I'll be sleeping in tomorrow.

March in South Carolina

Hoping for a snow day tomorrow.
