meaning they've already had spring AND summer, while i am wearing ugg boots and shivering everytime i open the door to let the dog out. plus, in mexico dinner is at 10:00 pm, so there are bigger snacks during the day. not that that matters though.&lt;br /&gt;so here are my favorite spring peices...&lt;br /&gt;First is the raj halter dress from &lt;a href="http://www.delias.com/item.do?categoryID=424&amp;itemID=45475&amp;amp;sizeFilter=&amp;colorFilter=&amp;amp;brandFilter="&gt;delia*s&lt;/a&gt;. decked out with clear sequins and a nice beaded middle, this is a great dress for this spring. plus, it's only $39.50&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onclick="javascript:doItemPop();return false;" href="post-edit.g?blogID=22300219&amp;postID=114299461158559940#" target="itempop"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 224px; height: 317px;" src="http://images.delias.com//150344_w_s.jpg" name="itemImage" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;my next favorite is the &lt;a href="http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?rcid=womens&amp;scid=cat90046&amp;amp;sscid=&amp;navroot=womens&amp;amp;productId=0313_1735"&gt;AE&lt;/a&gt; striped military mini. i was going to get this one, but sadly they didn't have it in my size online &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;or&lt;/span&gt; in the store. it's $34.50; another great spring deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="front_large"&gt;&lt;a onmouseover="window.status='click for larger view';return true;" href="javascript:LaunchDetail%28" 2=""&gt;&lt;img alt="click for larger view" src="http://ae.speedera.net/Images/laydowns/large/0313_1735_493.jpg" name="laydown" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;last is a polo by &lt;a href="http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10101_10851_266446_-1_12164"&gt;abercrombie&lt;/a&gt;. normally i'd hate the color, but my sudden obbsession with camo print (camoflauge) has changed my mind on this. it is $24.50 and i just may buy it.

type='text'>yay</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;so i went to the city yesterday and i'm going back tomorrow for the museum thing. it should be fun. museum equals boring, but museum plus fashion equals fun.&lt;br /&gt;i went into town today with melissa, maren,sara, and fallon. we ate subway sandwiches (on the sidewalk...haha, don't ask) and then got our nails done at the place next to subway. all the manicurists there had these tattoed eyebrows. a bit scary. well anyway, i got a sheer, peachy shade of pink with a little flower thing. then we went to deborah anne's and fallon got candy (edible) bubbles. we tried to catch them and eat them but they'd just float away-- it was pretty funny! then fallon went back and got another bottle of it for will for his bar mitzvah. then we went to cvs and got makeup (well i just got burt's bees lip balm and mints, but melissa, fallon and maren got eyliner and/or mascara, and sara got a lipgloss). then fallon's mom picked up fallon and maren and melissa, sara, and i went to the gap because we were bored and melissa's mom was still in confrences.&lt;br /&gt;so, back to my weekend. museum on saturday, shopping for puerto rico on sunday. i should get PINK pants. not the sweatpants with the elastic bottom-- i mean like just cotton capris.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

type='text'>shopping</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;so i went shopping today with melissa and sara. we saw maren at macy's and helped her pick out a bar mitzfah dress and she bought a tourquoise satin-ish one. i got a gold locket necklace from filene's for $1.59 and a yellow tee from american eagle that i'd wanted. sara finally got pink pants (they're purple...who could have guessed?) and she really likes them so thats good. she also got this diamond necklace from filenes. and melissa bought a necklace at filene's.&lt;br /&gt;now i'm so tired. i never ate lunch today so i'm really hungry, too. better go eat before i start talking to the computer screen or something.&lt;br /&gt;by the way, if you're looking for pictures from melissa's party,

me. he looks so weird...kinda like he has botox. that's a scary thought.&lt;br /&gt;i really wanted to see memoirs of a geisha but never got around to it. oh well; i haven't heard any majorly great

(part 1)</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;this week (or last week; who remembers?) there was this song called "ooh la la" by goldfrapp or something and i am totally in love with this song. it has a disco, madonna-ish sort of vibe, and it makes you want to get up and dance. plus, it sounds like the type of song coca cola would use for one of their funky, we're- so- cool- and- we're- drinking- coke- and- rollerskating- to- this- cool- disco- song- no- one- has- ever- heard- of commercials. (ok, just the chorus, not the whole song, because the verses are a bit slow) not like that matters. just a little something i noticed. so go and buy it on itunes! alright, i think it was last week that it was free, but who cares? this song is AWESOME.&lt;br /&gt;on another note, i had a fortune cookie in my lunch today, and it said &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;aren't you glad you just had a great meal? &lt;/span&gt;kind of weird, because that's more of a tiny slip of paper from inside a japanese cookie talking to you than a prediction of your future. but it makes for a good laugh i suppose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22300219-114109115638404888?l=simple-joys.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simple-joys.blogspot.com/feeds/114109115638404888/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22300219&amp;postID=114109115638404888' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22300219/posts/default/114109115638404888'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22300219/posts/default/114109115638404888'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simple-joys.blogspot.com/2006/02/thank-god-for-free-music-download-of.html' title='thank god for free music download of the week...

a long sleeved top?? ok, let me explain. my mom said i have too many tee shirts so i can't buy any more. ugh. and so of course i fell in love with this tee shirt with this gold crown on it. but i got over it after spotting the grey top.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;oh and i also got a pair of reef blue nike sneakers. good for power walking, i suppose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;speaking of power-walking, i'm starting the kinda sorta loathe it due to the fact that i have to freeze my butt off (and my ears, and my hands, and my cheeks...) just to see how many steps i can take in 20 minutes. oh, what a grand old time. well, it was either that or baldminton, and quite honestly i'm tired of sports involving any hard object that may, at any given moment, come flying at my head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2297/2106/1600/pG01-2385330dt.jpg"&gt;&lt;img
