I Like You

In an effort to cut back on my spending, I've been frequenting the library a lot. I really enjoy these little trips. It's best not to get me started on my library soapbox . (Free! They let you check out books for free!) It's safe to say I love libraries. A whole lot.

Today, during my lunch break I decided it was time to make a visit, and I'm so glad I did. When looking at non-fiction, I usually cruise the aisles waiting for something to jump out at me. Today, something jumped out at me that I had whole-heartedly intended to buy, but never did, for some reason.

I LOVE the Sedaris family. They may be my favorite celebrity set of siblings, other than the Cusacks of course. This book by Amy Sedaris is nothing short of amazing and ridiculous at the same time. It is just so ... me! Sure, I'd love to pretend that I throw fancy dinner parties where everything matches and everything is planned out, but if you have been to one of my parties, you know I use plastic utensils and plastic cups. I love entertaining, but I'm just too busy to deal with all the frills. This book makes me feel more normal.

And in honor of Ms. Sedaris, I went window shopping on Etsy for my ideal entertaining dress.

I dare say this little vintage frock by theluckybutton is darn near perfect. Don't you?

I love the Sedaris family! It takes a special sense of humor to love them...don't forget to wash the baby! :D

Holy crap. That dress makes my heart break. Those powder blue ruffles are killing me.

I think I need to read that book.

Amy Sedaris is one of the best female comedians of today. Really. I love her as Jerri Blank in Strangers with Candy! It's a wise decision that you are cutting back at you spending. Have you saved a lot? I just applied for a cash advance loan last week 'coz our house renovation is kinda pushing beyond my budget. That dress is perfect!
