conference rooms more than ever before.</p> <p>i think we should be allowed to drink during meetings.  at least then they’d have the potential to be slightly

me feel so careless, and i couldn’t help being upset by the loss.  ever since then, i’ve considered seeking out the designer again, re-buying it (it is now more expensive than it once was), and having it shortened again.</p> <p>last week, while fishing around in my bag for something else entirely, i came across the buried corner of a tiny ziplock - which, to my wonderment, contained the necklace.  my friends, who were in the room at the time,  just said, “okay, carrie bradshaw.”</p> <p>the thrill of the discovery, and the relief that came along with it, was a much needed feeling.</p> <p>(if only it wasn’t so temporary.)</p>http://beautyzealot.tumblr.com/post/213995099http://beautyzealot.tumblr.com/post/213995099Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:57:28 -0400<p>“hello? i forgot my mantra.”</p> <p>-jeff
