what a girls gotta do

saturday while making dinner for friends, i realized something. i needed an apron. how did i not have an apron? sure, i don't cook very often. but i'd like to. and perhaps if i had an apron i'd cook more.

so this week i was on a mission. i was on a mission to find the perfect apron. it turned out to be simple to find the perfect apron. a little too simple. so simple it was easy to find more than one perfect apron.

i went to marshalls, and there i found two that i loved. tell me people, how is a girl supposed to choose between this...

and this....

since they were only $7.99, i decided a girl shouldn't have to decide. so i got both.

after i was done in marshalls, i walked next door to bed bath and beyond. the aprons were $30 there. thank goodness i dodged that bullet. and they weren't even nearly as cute.

but almost as exciting as the aprons was the book i bought at marshalls. his poems and drawings make me feel happy inside.

i love your aprons! i never could get used to wearing one...but i admire those who do because it makes them look so "officia"--like they BELONG in the kitchen.

and i love, love LOOOVE shel silverstein!

I love that book. I love his writing. I don't love looking at his portrait though. I am sure he's nice, but his picture is a little intimidating.

Nice aprons. Rae wears an apron everytime she works in the kitchen. I only do sometimes.

Yep, an apron is a must have around here (especially because I'm such a messy person). Vary cutes aprons.

And ditto on the Shel Silverstein. I love love love his books as well - the all time favorite being The Giving Tree. When it was National Poetry Month (was that April???) I put up a poem a day (almost) and the biggest majority of them were Shel Silverstein.

P.S. Do you sew? If you do, I'll send you the pattern number of a really cute apron pattern.

I am glad you went with both aprons, I wouldn't have been able to pick just one either
