Shafaq sent scarves, bracelets, and some homemade cards. There was also a letter written on Hello Kitty stationary and she mostly wrote about how cute the stationary is. Love it! This is the pink scarf:

My afternoon was so sun shine-y and in the evening I met with my family to celebrate my Grandfather’s birthday at Tyler’s Taproom where I ate the most expensive boring salad ever.
I picked the best combination of movies this weekend. First, it was Food, Inc. and if you haven’t seen it you definitely need to watch it. I think I’m getting near the point in my life where I am ready to consider the environment and ethics in my buying. When you are broke it is really, really hard to be so conscious, but now I feel a responsibility because I am smart enough to understand the importance.
Ironically (ha!) here I am in Wal-Mart with a giant Twinkie. I will not take your carby, sugary treat, but I will take your picture, Sir!
This was pre-Food, Inc. I just don’t know how I feel about Wal-Mart. I am on a budget so I just have to make really conscious choices when I’m shopping there. I am ready to begin weaning it out of my life and start buying from the Farmer’s Market.

The next movie was Up In The Air and the reason why these were such a good combination is because the song that ends Food, Inc. is the song that begins Up In The Air. How ironic! Great movie.
I am so over the mat. I had this in my face today..

I did wonder over the One World Market and was entertained by all the fun things I could look at.

Today I organized my everyday makeup. It was in my makeup bag that kept getting stuck whenever I opened the drawer. Now I can see everything and I should have made this transition a long time ago
