it's hot

OMG. It's freaking 100 degrees out there. My car thermometer says it's 107 to be precise, but I think my car is like me - we overheat easily.

So as I was walking to my favorite PA boutique (god, how yuppy is that?) I stumbled upon this totally shishi gym VIVRE - it looked really nice and they have all these cool classes, like Funky Cardio Grooves, Abs&Arms, Pilates etc - so I let them take me on a tour so I could get free passes. And while I was checking out their posh bathroom, I saw a postcard for their florist. As I had walked into the gym, I thought to myself, "Wow, those flowers in the lobby are gorgeous" -- and as I picked up the postcard advertising wedding flowers and event planning, I realized that the florist was the same florist I'd worked for in college! Check it out. Now that is the life. This woman, her father funded her intial fower and wine shop in downtown menlo park. I worked there for about two years while I was still at Stanford, and a few years after I graduated, I wanted to see if it was still around. Turns out that Amanda had shut the store down to have babies - she didn't really need the money anyways. And now that she's had her kids, she's back at it - but this time from home, and only weddings and special events. There's no address on her postcard, just a P.O. Box - and her husband, I remember meeting him, clearly didn't care what she did with her time. What a life. She makes beautiful arrangements though, I tell you. Just the way I do. ;)

Another thing: the boutique I ended up at? They expanded upstairs. The upstairs room? An entire room of $50 t-shirts. Seriously, every t-shirt in there is at least $50. Super soft, but super ridiculous. That's California for you.

After I went shopping through the sale rack and found nothing to my liking, I decided to walk to Whole Foods and get a smoothie. Walking over there, I realized that I was literally mosying down the sidewalk. Funny thing is, when I first moved back from London, my roomie was telling me how fast I walked. And here I am, basking in the sun, window-shopping, mosying down the sidewalk to pick up a smoothie, blueberries and an acidophilus drink at Whole Foods during my lunch break. This is home, as I know it.

I'm wearing spectacular shoes today. Sergio Rossi ruby red patent leather platforms. That may sound trashy, but let me tell you, they're beautiful. I'm so glad I went against my mother's advice and bought them last Christmas.
