I have been drooling over the Clouds and Sea Bedding at Anthropologie for ages now… and I just found out via Shelterrific that they’re on sale. Which also probably means they aren’t going to carry them anymore. But I’m thrilled to finally be getting them for about 50% off!

Crocodile Tears
This necklace actually reminds me more of a rainy day, but after looking at the price tag ($199), suddenly Crocodile Tears makes sense. Pretty, but seems really overpriced for such a simple design. I’d rather go to Michael’s and just make my own. Only I think I’d start with clear at the top and let the blue deepen in color as it goes down. Found via Cute Overload ads.
Feedback
Well, I didn’t get this job, for exactly the reason I thought I might not, they chose someone with more experience. They said they really liked my interview though, and even said I was selling myself short on part of my application, so I went back over that again and updated it some more.
I have another interview July 11th, and the job I would really love to get on campus just opened up again and it’s listing doesn’t close till the end of July. So I won’t hear back about that one until August sometime probably.
Morph Pad
One of my favorite ways of justifying a purchase is if it looks great and is functional. I’ve either seen these or something similar ages ago, but these Morph Pads recently popped up on Design Milk and have me drooling over them all over again.
Winding Down June
Saturday I spent in the day in the bay area with my pirate and friends. We went to Lychee Garden in SF for my first dim sum ever. I wasn’t really impressed with it, and they didn’t have the one thing I really wanted, just the plan bao rolls. They only had the pork bao. After that we went to Daiso in Daly City. It’s basically a Japanse 100 yen store, only over here it’s all $1.50. I managed to find $77 worth of $1.50 items, though I think that’s with tax. After that we headed over to Pao-sama’s place in Redwood City for a bbq. We sat around talking and eating and didn’t get home till 2am.
Sunday I got some chores done, but mostly it was making up for lost sleep day.
Monday I think my interview went pretty well, and I’m supposed to hear back by the end of the week.
Tuesday we went to $1 cone night and then to see Surf’s Up. It was good, but the previews beforehand were horrifyingly bad. (Daddy Day Camp, Under Dog, Bratz) I threw together some chicken and pasta for us to have afterwards.
Tonight I hope to get some shopping done at IKEA and Target to help with the cleaning/organizing I want to do before my party this weekend. I have everything ordered for delivery from Safeway on Saturday morning, so I just have cleaning left to do.
Tomorrow night should be climbing, and then a friend’s party on friday since he’s leaving for his summer internship soon. I might as well get my socializing in while I still have the time and energy!
Interview!
I have my first one Monday. And I got a call about another one that will be set up soon. Things are moving along. And even if I don’t get either of these… I’ve filled out 88 applications so far. I’ll get something sooner or later! 
Rainy Day Necklace
I love rainy days (I would love to live near Seattle someday) and I’ve been wearing more jewelry lately. So this one caught my eye. It’s cute, simple, elegant and reasonably priced. Plus it has matching earrings.
Mid June
We went climbing on Monday. I’m up to the 5.8 routes at the ARC (which I’ve been told are rated much higher than they would be in the real world). I’m now at the point where I actually need to work on muscle strength for at least one of the routes I got stuck on. But the weight training is progressing, so that should help. We went back to my place for dinner. I cooked chicken with havarti with rice-a-roni on the side and heated up the sauteed carrots I’d made earlier.
Tuesday night I mostly caught up on sleep, but I also got some freelance work in.
Wednesday and Thursday I went to lunch with my pirate & his crew. Wednesday night I made a double batch of my everything cookies. Half I gave to our climbing buddy after his graduation (Ph.D) that we went to on Thursday. The other half I’m saving for the bbq tomorrow. We had fun at his house after his graduation, hanging out and eating fruit and snacks and bbq’d steaks.
Today I have to “volunteer” at the College undergraduate graduation ceremony, but they’re feeding us lunch beforehand at least. I just have to pass out programs so I don’t think I’ll have to stay through the whole thing thankfully.
Tomorrow I go with my pirate to get out hair cut, then to our friend’s bbq. Sunday I hope to get some cleaning done and take pictures or scans of stuff to sell on Curlie Q
Pirates & Weddings
Saturday I went to see Pirates 3 with my pirate. <3 <3 <3
Sunday we went to my future step-sister’s wedding. It was actually pretty fun, the ceremony was short, sweet and funny (the bride asking for a “Do over.” on repeating the vows) and the reception was fun. We did some dancing, had some food, and then headed home.
Nabaztag (Armenian for “rabbit”)
I’ve been slacking off on posting spending time with my boyfriend who was out of the country for two weeks. So I figured now would be a good time to share this one to make up for it. It’s been around for a while now… but that doesn’t make me want it any less.
The Nabaztag is a wi-fi bunny that does…. stuff. Some of it useful, and some merely entertaining. I’ve wanted one desperately since I first found out about them. And now they have the Nabaztag/tag with even more features!
