This opera alludes to the Roman legend of the Aeneid. It tells the story of the Trojan warrior Aeneas who’s ship is blown off course on his way to Italy. He lands instead in Carthage where he meets Queen Dido and falls in love. Dido is skeptical, to say the least. Continue reading I Kinda Sing Opera Now
Let’s travel back to a few days ago… The sun is shining in the courtyard atrium. The restaurant, serving typical American fair, is bright and quiet. There I sit with two friends hungry and ready to order. I know what I want– the veggie burger. What I don’t know is how I want my burger done.

April showers bring May flowers and lightweight fabrics that flutter in the wind, a bit more skin, and buttons– I seem to be having a thing for large buttons. You’ll see what I mean.

Is it just me, or is there a shortage of non-see-through white pants out there? Thankfully, these cozy, stretchy Old Navy corduroy pants don’t have that problem. I love a good pair of blue jeans, but I think it’s nice … Continue reading Outfit Post: White Corduroys & Tee
I recently upgraded from a car that was determined to get itself drowned in a canal to a car that I can safely depend on to get me back home from wherever I’ve been. I didn’t want to shell out the blasted money, but it appeared that I was doing so anyway with one mechanical issue after another. So this new car is, well, newer, … Continue reading Messy Cars Anonymous
I love doing these posts at the end of the month because it gives me a chance to go back through all the fashion I’ve saved and realize commonalities I that I didn’t recognize before. February had a strong hippie vibe and this month it seems my crush was on menswear. You all know how much I love my feminine style, so you won’t be … Continue reading Instagram Fashion: March
