Popping Into The Shops

Max ended up staying in daycare all day, so I was able to successfully run some errands and tried to get some rest. I started off my day with a fun IM chat with Moya about Mayle, Lyell, and other stuff then took off to acupuncture I wore my aubergine short Amalia and my black marius jacket. Having picked up my black afrikana flats I wore those today after a month-long hiatus. I spent an hour at the acupuncturist then wandered over to Macy's and picked up some Hue spandex leggings for $21. I wandered around Pioneer Place and went to Forever 21 where I contemplated a cropped faux leather biker jacket and a white/brown leopard print 60's style swing jacket. I nearly bought both but then thought to myself that these two items are just WAY TOO disposable. I am jonesing for a nice new piece, a dress - something but I think throwing away $65 on these two items was a bad idea. Nordstrom also had a Kate Spade return - the Bernice dress which was $355, its a GREAT piece. A very simple little black dress. The only thing I would have changed would have been to add discreet pockets. I put it on hold, but being on a very limited budget it would be incredible irresponsible to buy it. Plus I need some black flats and have my eye on some Jeffery Campbell ones that are $90.

I stopped home picked up a book and went for sushi and then went grocery shopping. I still don't know what I am making for dinner. Oh and I finally sorted out my ebay account, so I wont have to use Jon's anymore. Hooray.

My Interview With: Simolif Gitall Morr, aka Simon (RUNNER'S MOON: SIMOLIF)

LM: I’m delighted to announce my guest for today. Simolif Gitall Morr, thank you for coming to my blog!

SM: Please call me Simon. I’m happy to be here. Thank you for inviting Sarah and me, as well as my brother and his life mate. And Tiron and Thom.

LM: I’ll be interviewing Jebaral and Hannah, as well as Tiron and Thom, later on, but I wanted to start with you since you’re the older brother.

SM: And the handsomer one. (laughter)

LM: First off, I’ve been wanting to ask you, when you and the other Ruinos first landed here on Earth, how long did you and Jebaral remain together? What made you decide to part and go your separate ways?

SM: Jebaral and I remained together for the first fourteen months after we first landed here. During that time we helped each other learn your language while we took on odd jobs that paid under the table, as they say. We discovered we were good at construction sites, because of our strength and agility. The fact that we were “immigrants” was immaterial to the foremen and bosses.

LM: Why did you split up?

SM: It was an amiable split. I wanted to stay in the city where I felt I could blend in with the other humans in case the Arra reappeared. Jebaral wanted to go into hiding instead. We’d passed through some small towns, and he felt that their remoteness would be better suited for hiding. He believed the Arra would be drawn to the larger cities, and be less inclined to check out the littler towns.

LM: I think you both have valid points. Simon, I have another question I’ve been wanting to ask. What got you into driving a Harley motorcycle? (laughs) The last thing I can envision is the sight of a green-skinned alien wearing black leather pants and jacket, and driving a black Harley.

SM: (laughs) You can ask Jebaral. I’ve always been attracted to life boats and other small craft that travel fast. Once I saw my first motorcycle, and realized how free and open the driver is on the seat, I was determined to own one. In fact, I bought my first bike before I ever rented an apartment.

LM: So you have the Harley, and Sarah gets to drive the standard sedan?

SM: Pretty much, although Sarah is talking now about maybe getting a side car.

LM: So what's next for the two of you? Are you staying in Templeton? Or is there a chance you may move to Tumbril Harbor to be closer to your brother?

SM: You never know, Linda.

LM: (laughs) Now you're being evasive.

SM: (laughs) Guilty as charged, as Sarah would say.

LM: Well, I want to thank you again for visiting with us today. I'll be honest and admit I'm anxious to find out more about Ruinos, and the world you're from.

SM: Don't worry, Linda. There's many more stories about us that are waiting to be told!

A Little Bling

And finally the necklace that I recently got at JCrew (thanks to Kathleen who gave me a giftcard for my birthday). Its very subtle, and chic. I love it. It looks like rose gold and the crystals are pink and clear.

BLISS!!

My favorite lotion, its pricey (I had a gift card to Sephora) the smell is like a little taste of heaven in your nose, and your skin stays super smooth (as it should for the price). Blood oranges are my favorite fruit in winter and mixed with white pepper its a great body lotion.

Vampy Nails

Chanel nail polish in Gondola. I love the sparkle and the plum/grape color. I used it for my last pedicure. sparkle-tastic.
