I Quite Enjoy the Oxford Comma

The Oxford comma is the comma used immediately before acoordinating conjunction (usually and or or, sometimes nor) preceding the final item in a list of three or more items. (Wikipedia)

Also, my favorite punctuation mark is the semi-colon. I know what you're thinking, "I haven't even thought about what my favorite punctuation mark is." That's ok. The only reason I know mine is because I find that I use it whenever possible. Occasionally I'll even go out of my way to use it (but don't tell anyone). It's just so handy! It conveys perfectly that elusive relationship between two phrases that are separate sentences but still go together.

Okay, okay, I'm done boring you now. Go do something fun and completely ungrammatical.

March Favs and Craves

1. My favorite new book: Listography. What is it about lists that makes them so appealing? Perhaps it's the organization, or just putting it all down in paper. Live your life in lists.

2. Shabby Apple Champs Elysees dress: pretty much the cutest dress ever. Also available in green or yellow.

3. West Highland White Terrier: a.k.a. westie, a.k.a. the Cesar dog. I've wanted one for almost as long as I can remember. I will have one one day.

4. Nike Free: I can justify this one by saying that I really do need a new pair of running shoes (ok, active shoes; I don't run).

5. A job: I need one (maybe almost have one? I'll keep you posted on it.)

6. Serger: how much easier would sewing be with one of these?

7. Vans boat shoes: so cute!

My Favorite Poem About March

OK, it's the only poem about March that I've ever heard. But I still really like it.

Here it is, March on the prairie,

An improvement on February,

When daylight enlarges,

Inspire, recharges

Our spritis. Beautifully. Very.

- Garrison Keillor

Right Now Fav's and Craves

I've seen a couple of people do fav's and craves on their blog so I thought I'd produce my own:

1. Vintage valentines are so adorable.... and politically incorrect. It's the perfect combination and I love it

2. The ingredients to a perfect love story. I want to write my own, but it's a life long process.

3. Red shoes: Sexy.

4. Fossil Posy earrings that are so cute and just the right amount of vintage.

5. The bachelor: I crave Monday nights. There are not enough episodes to satisfy me, hahaha.

6. What dancer doesn't want a pair of red pointe shoes?

7. Sister photo shoots: I've wanted one for a while. I love all my sisters!

8. Chocolate covered strawberries = best treat ever!

9. A rose of my own from my own bachelor :D

My Cutest Little Pseudo Niece

My best friend and former roommate, Kate, had a baby last August and she is just the cutest thing ever (the baby, not the roommate; though the roommate's cute, too). I got to babysit her a couple of weeks ago. We had a blast. Ok, I had a blast and Lindsay sucked on her fingers.

Aren't her pigtails freaking adorable??? She has soo much hair, and I can't even imagine how many times a day Kate hears that. Also, she has the funniest facial expressions; I just love it.

Another thing I love: California brand Earthquake potato chips. And the best part? My grandpa bought them for me because he knows I love them :). I love my family, too.
