It’s a beautiful day here in NOVA.  I decided to wear flip flops, but I’m only wearing them indoors because I think it looks funny when people wear summer stuff in the weather, even when it’s warm outside. So I have been traveling a lot (well not A LOT, but some) lately.  Two weeks ago I went to Dartmouth College for work.  It was such a small town, I could never go to school there, but I suppose that’s what a lot of college towns are like.  There were only two restaurants that I could find.  One was a Mexican place, and the other was a steakhouse.  I found the Mexican restaurant an interesting choice because I didn’t see anyone who was not black or white the entire time I was there.  At one point, I was even walking down the street and a little boy pointed at me and shouted “Look Mommy, SHE’S BLACK!”  I just stared back at him slack jawed.  I mean really, what kid on the East Coast doesn’t see black people on the regular basis? Anyway, this past weekend Brian and I went to Boston for our annual trip.  I was so proud of myself because I didn’t buy anything.  It was difficult, but I refrained from buying any David Yurman and I didn’t even buy a Marc Jacobs bag that was $270!  But don’t be too excited for me, tomorrow I plan on buying two pairs of shoes that are absolutely ridiculously overpriced, but beautiful. Here are some pics for you to enjoy: The shoes I want, and Bri on the South Boston waterfront.
