Friday Five

1. Love!

 

 

2. Shopping is fairly enjoyable all the time, in my opinion.  But when you go to the mall on the lookout for a specific piece of clothing and you find exactly what you were looking for (and some stuff you weren't looking for...), in exactly the correct size, AND the whole darn store is on sale, it makes it even more enjoyable.  Scratch that, it makes it downright awesome!  Let's just say, great progress was made on the needing a new wardrobe front...

 

3. The dream trip to England is (slooooowly, much too slowly for my liking) approaching so we've started booking hotels.  Since Stratford-upon-Avon is a much smaller area than London, and seeing as Richard II sold out, we thought it wise to book that room first.  We decided on the Legacy Falcon Hotel. Very Stratford-y if I do say so myself.  And the best part is that it's right across the street from Shakespeare's school and right down a small alleyway is the Swan at the RSC where we'll be seeing the show. Woohoo! Maybe this trip-planning is going to be easier than I thought!

 

 4. Polka Dots, my new fashion obsession.  I've bought no less than 4 garments covered in these little happy dots this week.  It's slightly excessive however, they seem to be "in" this year and since I'm not often "in" I'm just going to go with it!

 

 



5. In this week's TV category, I know I've said this before but it bears mentioning again: Broadchurch happens to be the best show on television right now that is not on television right now (our television anyway).  It's taken London by storm based on articles I've read outlining the many suspects in the search for Who killed Danny Latimer?  There are even bets being placed at Ladbrokes.  It's slightly crazy.  The worst part is that it's not on in the States yet. For that you need to find it online or wait until BBC America (who gloriously bought the rights to it from ITV) runs it months from now but by that time, I'm sure the cat will be out of the bag.  With only 2 episodes left, I'm no closer to who the killer is than I was in Week 1 but that's the best part!
