QUEST FOR THE AUNTIE SHIRT, take 1
My French aunt is pretty fabulous. She used to be a champion biker and cross-country skier and now lives in a quaint French town overlooking a vineyard. Apparently, she also shops at H&M. She’s 60.
Long story short, she decided she could no longer pull off this top so she gave it to me. Yes, I now share clothes with my a foreign woman three times my age. Even halfway around the world, it seems I’m destined to wear old lady clothes. Sigh. Anyway, the story improved when we happened upon another girl wearing the same shirt. Leah made me chase her down and awkwardly take pictures with her back. I am now on constant alert for any fellow H&M frequenter who happens to be wearing this little floral number. Stay tuned…
I used crushed ice from my lab’s cold room to make myself an iced mocha. This was done only after my advisor decided to store the gelato for my going-away party in the -20 degree cell freezer. What’s next? Perhaps measuring baking ingredients on the lab scale? Prolly not the best idea but a little BVA never hurt anyone.
