Straw Hats

I woke up at 6-ish this morning.
I couldn't fall asleep is why.
Because of jetlag, I suppose. but I kind of like the feeling of waking up early in the morning.
when it's still dark out and you're the only one in the house that's awake.
it's a strange feeling. :I

Guess what?
I finished reading The Bean Trees! I liked it. c:
I still have to do the double journal entry assignment for it, though. :c
and then I will start reading The Good Earth.
I think that I won't like it as much as The Bean Trees.

I went to Valleyfair and Santana Row today!
I haven't been there in a long time!
so me and my sister went to go buy a birthday present for a friend.
it was so hard! we couldn't decide on anything. :I
we went to American Eagle 4 times,
J. Crew 3 times,
Banana Republic once,
Zumiez once,
Kenneth Cole once,
Urban Outfitters once,
and H&M once (just to find that there was no guys' section there)

so we ended up buying a straw hat from AE and 2 V-necks from Urban Outfitters for our friend.
it was a 2 V-necks for $24 sale. I guess that was okay. red and yellow.
but after we got home, my sister realized that one of the V of the V-necks was down too low.
so she's going to return it tomorrow.

oh yeah, we got a straw hat for ourselves, too.
me and my sister, that is.
I've been wanting one. and finally got one for only $10! :I
they remind me of Jason Mraz.

at J. Crew I saw this pretty headband.
It was beige and thin. there was a pretty rose on the side.
I wanted to get it, but it was $20! :c
and then there was this nice bobby pin with the same rose on it.
that was $10. :c

and then at Urban Outfitters
I saw this cute camera necklace.

there's beads in the middle!
it's $28, aigoo.

oh yeah, I got a Starbuck's caramel frappuccino today.
Finally.
