i'm preparing a sales post and i'm back and forth about this skirt.  i got it from ITS last year.  if i keep it, i'll be buying more of the fabric and making it into a jsk.  the print is cute, but skirts just don't work on me (and it's a bit too big in the waist which doesn't help).

i'm finally getting around to archiving the files from my old geocities site (since they are closing on the 26th) and some of this crap is 13 years old.

i went to a small meetup saturday at the peggy notebaert nature museum, because it was free museum day, and of the small selection of avaiable free museums that i could easily get to, that seemed the most interesting.  i was thinking, you know... flowers... bugs... i knew they had a butterfly haven...  but somehow i forgot that since animals are ( Read more... )
