I am having an awesome day today. I've learned that if you want to have a good day, you have to make it! Sitting around waiting for pleasant adventures to come my way has never worked out for me. So today, I needed a little pick me up and just my luck: I have half day Fridays! I figure I should take advantage as all good things must come an end and I may be back to a regular work schedule very soon.
So after work I was starving because I'd forgotten my usual snack (I absolutely must eat every 2-3 hours!) My mouth was watering for some Jamaican food, so I drove a quarter mile to the conveniently located Island Basket in Lake Worth, FL and got me some curry goat with rice and peas and cabbage. It took a lot of will-power for me to not eat it then and there because it smelled unbelievable but I drove downtown since it's a nice cool day and sat outside on a park bench. The weather today has been cool and breezy and that much more breezy because I was right by the beach. I then proceeded to devour that curry goat! I'm sure people were walking by and looking at me like "damn, she must have not eaten for days!" but I don't care. I had a total food-gasm... several actually!
I then stayed right there on my park bench outside and like the nerd that I am got fully engrossed in a book after which I did some window shopping and headed home. On the way back, my eye caught a Salvation Army (I love the Salvation Army). Now I'm not a regular thrifter but I have found some good buys in the thrift store. However, if I walk in and it's a disorganized mess or there is even the faintest smell of mustiness, I'm immediately turned off which is probably what turns me off from thrifting more regularly. But I hadn't been to this particular store before so I went in and to my pleasant surprise it was neat and clean and well organized and even smelled relatively decent. I was in heaven!
I sifted through some things and came across this section in the corner called "The Boutique" so I headed over and they had some decent things. They had a beautiful Cinderalla dress for $14.99 which I was tempted to buy but resisted on the basis that I couldn't think of a single place I'd wear it to. I then came across this dress (pictured above) that I immediately wanted to buy. I call it the "Minnie Mouse dress". I have to admit to having a girly cutesy side to my style so the cuteness of this dress was definitely appealing. I also bought a top from Free People and an American Outfitters sweater for a total of $17.00!
I left happy and came home to blog about it. And that's my day so far! Whew. I hope you all had an equally good (if not better) Friday than me. I'm off to eat what's remaining of my curry goat. Yum!
Awesomeness!! the dress and the curry goat..mmmm
