do you know what you're doing with your weekend?
thursday i'm going to the badass brooklyn tweetup at the bell house (149 7th st, brooklyn) with my honey to stand around with what will probably be a bunch of other geeks twittering on their iphones. seriously, there will be many rad people there that i want to be friends with! sponsored by one of my favorite blogs - FIPS and @AllGrownsUp.
friday i'm thinking about helping to raise some dough! there's a non-profit museum in brooklyn called the city reliquary that's doing an event called brother can you spare some rent. there will be a fortune teller, depression-era movies, dj's, old-timey alkeehol, and other recession-themed fun. i can think of no better place to kick off my weekend.
on saturday i'm thinking about swinging up to my old hood to check out funky child at alphabeta. it's a pop-up market where you can get all kinds of fun things that i have no business buying. i'll be happy to indulge my "oh wouldn't that be awesome" bone by perusing the offerings of artwork, photography, accesories, and gifts while enjoying the live painting and music.
then to round out the weekend and get a little dancing in (cause it isn't a weekend without dancing) ... on sunday i'll be checking out something brought to me by the brooklyn arts council. the sixth annual folk feet traditional dance showcase will be goin down. it shows off the dances of brooklyn's immigrants. while i don't think i'll see anyone there reppin north carolina (other than myself, of course) there will be people from grenada, china, india, and korea gettin down at brooklyn college's whitman theatre.
these, my friends, are the reasons i moved to brooklyn in the first place. a whole weekend of fun! and it's almost all free!

spring accesory round up!
i was perusing over at lucky mag, and they've got a great little section listing accessories for spring for under $100! too bad i don't have $100 to spend on much of anything, but maybe you do.
there are even loads of cute heels ... alas i hardly wear the heels i have anymore because i live in nyc. but that's a story for another post.
check these lovelies:
drool! $25 at shop intuition.
alas, i will not be doing much shopping to get ready for spring. not only is there no room in my budget, there's also no room in my "closet." aka the closet in the bedroom i share with my boyfriend and the closet in the 2nd bedroom that serves as his closet and studio. oh yeah and some of my shoes are in there, too. but you go ahead, you enjoy. i'll be around with my credit card in a season coming to the world very soon.

i love chaotic jewelry. $98 from alex and ani
i hate to admit to liking something from urban outfitters, alas i am a sucker for mixed metal. $58 i do not have to part with, so i will eye from afar.
delicious pink pocketbook, i love your cinched waist! i've never heard of fashionflairs.com, but maybe i will come visit you and party with ... oh wait, no. not $79.99.

stickk.com
we all know that i've tried to lose more weight in the past with varying success (and some failure). i've not lost any weight since i lost about 40 lbs on weight watchers when i was in college. i've gained about 15 of that back, and i gained quite a bit of it back since moving to nyc. i've cancelled my ww membership.
i've found something new to try. i downloaded the iphone application lose it, which has almost identical functionality to what i was getting with weight watchers. it works so much better, however, because it doesn't rely on the internet, and it's free!
i'm using that in combination with stickk.com. i've made a commitment on stickk.com saying that i'll lose 0.88 lbs per week for 52 weeks. if i don't lose that much in one week, then i pay $10 to the george bush library. that has been really motivating! there are lots of people behind me, too, cheering me on. the combination of these two things may get me down to 150 lbs! i'm counting on it.
