I’m packing up my things to head to NYC tomorrow! I can’t wait to see Bill!

I’m feeling super unprepared for my trip. Whenever I make important (read: exciting) trips like this I usually have a list made out at least a day before I have to pack so that I don’t forget anything and can feel somewhat in control.
Due to a laundry disaster tonight (it was my first time doing laundry in the building and not only was it expensive but my clothes were still soaked so they’re hanging around my apartment right now) I haven’t made a list at all. Maybe I can sneak in some time at work tomorrow to work on it. Wish me luck!
Am I the only one that is this crazy about making lists for trips?
My head is so already in New York although I don’t leave until Thursday after work. Every day I wake up hoping today is the day, but not quite yet. With my head elsewhere, the easiest way to look stylish without having to really think about an outfit is a wrap dress:

(I apologize for the photo issues. I maxed out my Flickr account until July rolls around so I’m struggling with Photobucket.)

I’ve been craving some Mexican and found this interesting chicken burrito casserole recipe I wanted to try out. Obviously the 4-6 servings this makes was way too much food for me so I ended up using one large chicken breast and cooking it with the entire package of taco seasoning. I kept with the full can of Rotel but cut the pasta sauce in half. I ended up layering about 5 tortillas in a small round casserole dish.


It ended up being really good. I put a little spoonful of sour cream and some hot salsa on top of each serving which definitely added something extra. The only thing I might change for next time is adding some refried beans in the layering process.
I had a lot of trouble getting up this morning and ended up going with something really relaxed and comfortable. I’ve had these crops since high school when I weighed more than I do now so they are loose but not quite baggy, making them good for a long day in front of a computer (which is exactly the kind of day I had today). This picture is really terrible but hopefully you get the idea:

One of my friend’s friend’s brother (does that make sense?) is the lead singer of a supposedly good local band that’s playing tonight. I’m excited to check out the local band scene. I’m not exactly sure what kind of music this is but I’m pretty open.
I’m a strong believer that while you should always stay true to yourself and your style (never wear something that isn’t you), there’s nothing wrong with trying a few new things here and there. This outfit is a perfect example. The shape is definitely me but this purple gingham was a new adventure for me. I figured a local concert would be a great place to showcase this look. It’s a little Audrey, a little punk, yet still cute!

Last night there was a terrible storm that woke me up around 2 am (I usually can sleep through anything). The thunder was so loud it was setting off car alarms and the lightning bright enough to keep me awake for a full hour. I knew that could only mean bad news and sure enough when I woke up the next morning and looked off my balcony this is what I saw:

Once I got down there I found my car had a big scratch on the passenger-side door.

So by the time I messed around trying to figure out what to do with insurance and everything I barely had time to get ready for work. Luckily it was casual Friday but I ended up with this look:
