let the countdown begin ladies: May 28, 2010!!!!

i went to the midnight showing of the first movie. Me and my gf ann had our fold up chairs & cigs in front of the theatre, the firsts in line.

i wrote on my fb that i felt like carrie in my new heels. My friend Joe commented, "Micaela, um i hate to be the one that tells you but carrie is not a real person." It cracked me up! i'm the biggest carrie wannabe you will ever meet.

and out of all the SATC men...

BIG you've always won my heart.

Carrie: "I'm looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love."

in lieu of the sequel excitement, i wanna hear YOUR favorite carrie quote. Please leave me one in the comments fabulous ladies. xo

a new kind of newness.

i came home not feeling very good.

i asked darling friend to lay down with me.
he brought me water and medicine.
he rubbed my back.


when i woke up from my little nap, he made me tomato rice soup and {two} grilled cheeses for dunking.


laying down on our couch, i realized this is what love is. I have been in love before. I'm not going to say this is the first time i've been in love. But this is the first time I've felt safe. That next to him, i just know everything will be okay. I don't know if it's a feeling of protection when i say i feel "safe" - though of course that has something to do with it. {like last night when we were already in bed almost asleep and one of our doggie babies started barking like she heard something, he did get up to investigate}


i feel safe as in he feels like home to me.


he takes care of me, and i want to take care of him.
he (my sweet smiling boy below) fills me with happiness... and i kinda like him. *wink

introducing my newest pairs of high heels...

i believe the pointier heel, the better- but i fell in love with

these BCBG brozne round toe pumps. I secretly hoped they

matched my skin colour enough to make my legs look longer.

zipper back and glitz, i finally felt like Carrie with these on.

i went shopping in my gf erin's closet last night. Though i paid a pretty enough dime for them, it was SO worth it on the deal she gave her friend (me!). I asked where she had kept them hiding all this time (erin's post comfortable in flip flops) and she goes, "you only thought you were the shoe whore."

also purchased? a Mad Men styled Jackie O number.

the classics.

on my wish list: "Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before--more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle."

(you are my fave)

500 Days of Summer: I ABSOLUTELY loved it. *no spoilers, promise.

i was in need of a movie date. This one finally came to my small Texas town.

I loved it.

I thought it was brilliant. Absolutely a fresh of air, of love's reality. Darling Friend said Zooey Deschanel's character reminded him of me. Max laughed and touched me when she declared Ringo as her favorite Beatle. He's always been mine, and Max couldn't understand just the same.

{i get it, i get now why she's every blogger's girl crush... i told Max i was going to wear ribbons in my hair to which he says, "you don't now?" i love my boy.}

and Joseph Gorden-Levitt, how cute are you?
(M, don't you love him?)

i had an ah-ha moment watching this relationship on screen. I won't say much for those of you who haven't seen it, but simple lines said in this movie made all the sense in the world to me.

i loved the movie. completely.

expectations vs. reality? LE LOVE.

"It's love, it's not Santa Claus."

dear darling friend,

thank-you for taking me.

you are my bd. {our secret nickname}

sorry we got into a silly fight

when you came and picked me up

after work. i pouted,

and i'm sorry. and please

don't be mad

that i shopped in my friend erin's closet.*

just so you know... i bought winter clothes

because i hear it can get cold in Virginia.

just so you know...

because

i love you, you know.

xo micaela

*lovies, I LOVE the heels i got! i finally felt like carrie tonight. Girls, pics SOON!

Benevolent Postcard: Sept. 2009. First Mailing.

Happy Mailing Day!!!!

i hope you took my advice here lovies, because then you will be as excited as i am about today!!!

I've excitedly exchanged emails with M, Katy, and Belen about receiving our first pick. {we're such cute girls, wanting to make sure we are somewhat on the same page because we are EXCITED to be part of this project- er, society!!!}

Polly in the UK, i'm so glad to have received you for my first one.

so here's the postcard i sent & a hint of the backside:

a bit of what i wrote in my message:

"On a rainy day, go to the nearest book shop. Pick out "Happens Every Day," a memoir by Isabel Gillies and turn to pg 10. Towards the end you'll find my favorite poem. It's my gift to you, Polly."
