Love is Noise

'Tis the season of my allergy to ragweed getting out of control and forcing me into bed with Claritin and a glass of water in hand at 8:30 p.m. last night. I generally dislike sleeping - the whole concept of it just annoys me, as I see no reason why it is necessary for myself and everyone else on the planet to be wholly unproductive for hours on end every single day of being alive, but such is the physiology of being human I suppose, so I'm just going to have to learn how to deal with it.
The one good aspect of getting a billion hours of sleep last night is that I didn't feel half-dead when I woke up this morning, and I was for once able to wake up bright and early without complaint. My head still feels swollen and puffy and gross mind you, but a Grande Bold and hashbrown managed to fix that right up. As much as people (myself included) might complain about Western civilization and the corporate powers that be, sometimes Starbucks and McDonald's really just get the job done better than anything else, and for that reason I cannot entirely fault them.
Same goes for Old Navy actually - this sweater-thing I'm wearing today was a recent kid's section purchase there for 10 bucks! It fits wonderfully, is warm but not too warm, is comfortable beyond belief and, in my opinion, totally freaking adorable. Along with this I got a rugby cardigan for an equally affordable price which I swear is the EXACT same as the one I was planning on purchasing from Urban Outfitters for $100. Can you even believe that? My recent consumer experiences honestly feel too good to be true.

I am off to enjoy a day of rest, relaxation and a pedicure (because if there's one beauty-related thing I really cannot stand it would be having gnarly feet). I am still uncertain as to what colour polish I want to go with - you may be able to tell, but I'm not really a neon kind of girl regardless of how "in" it is - but I'm sure I'll come to some satisfactory conclusion...any suggestions anyone?
