Clothes Before Bros

I used to think that the Banana Republic was a country. And people that had it written on their clothes were just tourists who had visited the native land.

But then up I wised.

Look at this awesome dress I made:

If you have a pleat fancy, these will definitely tickle it: 

I think I'll call it the V8 Splash dress, unless I happen to dye it. 

Boyfriend wasn't "wild" about the color, but I think it looks splendid with a neutral pink. 

Like pink gold for instance. 

Sewing makes me SO happy!!!! (sew happy!!!!)

I applied for an internship today with a real CPA firm. It's amazing how excited I still get about the thought, the prospect, of getting a new job even though nothing ever comes through.

Yet.

This would be only from February until the end of April, but do you know how ballin' that real CPA experience would look on my resume?

It would look as good as pink gold does with that dress.

Bazinga.

Guess what Johnny Tremain did today.

He dumped tea into the Boston harbor.

I hate when people get all cliche about new years and new years resolutions.  

No one ever has any good ones. It's all about having a more forgiving heart, a better attitude, or losing weight. The most awesome new year's resolution I've seen so far has been this one.

And while I'm being all hyperlinky, this is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard in my entire life. I can't even read the lyrics without crying.  Yes, it is a country song, but the words- oh the words!- are what make it so good. And Miranda Lambert has that cute little girl voice that I didn't know I liked.

Plans for this weekend:

Wear the V8 Splash dress out to date night dinner and then watch the fourth POTC movie!!!!! Haul on the main brace! Make ready the guns!

And run out the sweeps,
