Want to hear something super weird and possibly pregnancy-brain-y (it's a real thing)?
When I went to the store a couple of weeks ago to assemble a Valentine's Day present for my son (including these things), I also bought a be-ribboned wicker basket, shredded pastel basket-filler, and...eggs.
Because apparently something in my mind transformed Valentine's Day and Easter into a single holiday, for which one purchases both red heart-shaped things and bunnies.

Kendrick and I have been getting along pretty well today, so we thought we'd take a quick trip to #ikea to even things out.
It wasn't that bad!
I mean, it was bad - not gonna lie - but not that bad. Certainly not as bad as last time, mostly because for these reasons:
What I wore for yesterday's meetings in the city: gold heels (and Sorel Slimpack boots for the ten-foot journey from my front door to my car, which is really pretty intense), glasses, and the best sweater in the universe, which is so huge and slouchy that it basically feels like wearing a rug. Which is exactly what I like sweaters to feel like.
It's Express from years ago, but I haven't worn it in ages and ages; I figured I'd lost it, but when I was at my mom's house the other day I discovered it in a drawer, and it has now returned to Favorite Status. I love it when that happens; it's like shopping for free.
Some lovely oversized sweater options for you:
I stayed in the city with my son and dogs last night to attend a ShopStyle dinner at Toro (tapas, yum yum yum), and was super excited to find street parking near my parents' place, which meant that I got to skip handing over the truly unconscionable amount of money that New York City parking garages demand in order to keep your car overnight.
It also, however, meant that I got to spend the early-morning hours digging my car out of a two-foot snowdrift using only an umbrella (because Kendrick unwittingly made off with my scraper-thing), and then basically forded a slush-river to deposit three creatures - all of which were extremely unhappy about the whole situation - into carseats and the trunk, respectively. And then I forded more rivers to go grocery shopping, just to keep myself on my toes.
Anyway, it was horrible and kind of amazing, in that I felt like an umbrella-wielding SUPERHERO.
