Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think a power tie could be a simple stripe, but yeah, generally red.

You know lisah, I will.

I would say that it is a rep tie (striped).

Yellow tie with little blue diamonds. Probably very old-fashioned, but that's what I picture for a power tie.

-t, that was almost what I said. Very Gordon Gecko

That's about right for when I picked it up.

The red tie thing is from the Reagan era, right? Because Nancy liked red, so the reporters who wore red ties would get called on more at press conferences. Or so goes the lore as I heard it.

I think so. Completely unpatterned ties are very Regis Philbin to me, even red.

Reeg was the same color shirt and tie set, remember that?? It's kind of nice to remember that there are weird trends for men as well, sometimes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Looking at that photo of myself in the changing room made me actually get off my duff and get a couple new bras. I think the point at which you get a free pashmina with your brassieres is when you need to start sourcing them from ebay.

It is a kinda pretty pashmina, though.

And I walked past Teavana a number of times, and got two small bags of rooibos blends at Lupica instead. And although I wanted every pair of shoes at Aerosoles (and there's a sale...), especially these, but I just got a pair of the black and grey tweed ballet flats (very disappointing the lace ones didn't feel comfortable).

And saw Premium Rush which I found pretty disappointing for a JGL piece. Coulda been anyone--there was no there there.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Mint simple syrup-- every recipe seems to involve heating the mint somehow, which I don't understand. So I do indeed just steep mint leaves in cooled simple syrup.
