girlie shoes and weekend update

This past Christmas, the boy's mom was going to send us on a little vacation (Vegas anyone?) as a joint present. Things are so crazy w/school and work that we decided that we didn't really have time to take a trip, so we got the cash instead, which is rad. Matt wanted to split it, but I decided that we should use the money to buy the tv (which, btw, is amazing. It really is for more than just video games). He felt bad that I wasn't getting a present, so he wanted to treat me to a pair of shoes, because he knows how happy they make me. Score! Earlier in the week I saw a pair of killer, 5 inch purple stilettos that I thought would make a wonderful addition to my collection, so we went to pick them up on Friday night. While trying them on, Matt found a pair of Coach wedges that he thought I would dig and he brought them over for me to try. I put them on and stared at them in the mirror and slowly felt my heart melt because I loved them:

Bianca: "No, I can't. They're expensive and against everything I stand for."
Matt: "They're shoes. They're pink. They're Coach. That's everything you stand for."
Bianca: "Sigh..."

So I said goodbye to the impractical purple stilettos and hello to these new beauties:

I especially love the bow detail. And since they're wedges, I can wear them while tackling the hills of San Francisco.

I did feel a little sick this weekend and about an hour ago it caught up to me and I've half-lost my voice. I sound like Peter Brady going through puberty while singing "Time to Change". Not sexy.
Yesterday I attempted to do some reading for school...and it was SO painful. I have 3L-itis and have no motiviation about anything school related, which is a problem since I still have a full course load that I have to pass in order to graduate. I'm hoping that the motivation will come, but I have a feeling that's not going to happen. Last night and today I got to hang out with a bunch of friends from college and it was a great reminder that I need to let myself go out and have fun this semester. As much as I love staying in w/tivo, I need to go out more. I can't fail out anymore...right?

Also, GORGEOUS weather today. It's supposed to stay this way all week. Lounging in the backyard with the puppy and reading may be in my future. I heart California.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoyed Superbowl sunday. I ate far too much, but when there are buffalo wings, nachos, spinach dip, and beer in front of you, there's no choice but to eat. At least that's what I'm telling myself.
