What I call the Sarah Palin look...

So this outfit... with my hair pulled back and glasses... makes me look like Sarah Palin... It was suggested to me that I dress up as her for halloween the year of the elections.. however.. halloween being the week before one of the most insanely popular elections... when I wasn't voting for sarah palin... seemed like an odd contesious thing to do... (I would have done it, had my best friend who dressed up as hilary clinton pant suit, short blonde wavy hair and all, was in SLO, but she was in SF)
Anyhow, I LOVE this dress. and best part I found it at my parents house stuck in with a bunch of dresses that were/are mine, however, I have nooo idea how this one came about... oh well, I love it.

shoes - Xilaration
dress - banana republic
cardigan - second hand
pea coat - target

Also anyone interested... I have decided I am going to San Luis the weekend of the Cal Poly Wine Festival... hoping to depart arcata on wed or thurs. and then will have to speedily return on sunday... (the little turns 21 the week before, and I figure this will be a great way to spend time with here, celebrate, and not have to deal with celebrating with her and 349208492 million of her best friends on her actual birthday, even though I wish I could be there then too) so mark your calenders, I will be in town, if you aren't there, you should go so we can pretend we are in college again. (until we are reminded with a nasty hangover, that, in fact we are not the college kids we once were ;) )

Also for anyone wantting a deadline to get in shape... I am running a 1/2 marathon May 2nd... Avenue of the Giants. and going to follow it up with the SF marathon on July 25th... would love a partner to struggle through it with.... no pressure, just saying...

oooohhhhh and i've decided that I need to make plans to City travel next summer/fall or fall/winter.... I will have the car finally paid off (you can not possibly understand how excited I am for the day I mail off the last one!) and I want to City travel... this may turn into a cross country road trip, or it may more simply be a road trip on the west coast and then flights to places like... chicago ; ) (I am told to go in the fall... which I can't wait to see) and NYC... sooooo anyone wantting to join in on this plan is also more then welcome.
