The Morning Post: March 13, 2017
Mar 13, 2017
Posting will be light this week. I am in Colorado visiting my Nana, and like many grandparents, she refuses to spend money on Internet access. And if I spend all my time at Starbucks writing blog posts, that sort of defeats the purpose of going to visit her in the first place.

What I Found Enlightening. I don’t listen to music much anymore, so this article about the ’25 Songs That Tell Us Where Music Is Going’ was interesting. (Caution, you can turn it off but the music actually plays.)
The First Step to Recovery is admitting you have an addiction to gorgeous, affordable lantern-sleeve tops.

First a rant, so annoyed by all the “Amal Clooney Shows Off her Babybump” headlines. Ugh, she’s pregnant in business attire, not even tight fitting business attire. She’s not showing it off. It’s a part of her body. It’s just there. Unless she came out in a crop top, it isn’t showing off anything.
And 2, a question, what size do you buy in the Everlane v-neck? I remember you raving about it, and I think I’m gonna buy one but can’t decide which size. I want it to be pretty slouchy. I’m usually a S/M
That quote is so perfect in my world right now. Thank you! Have fun on your visit!
My 92-year old grandpa has a wireless network because he’s the coolest. Enjoy your visit.
Belle will you be hosting a bracket tournament this year for March Madness?
Seconded. I never used to follow NCAA basketball, but after a couple years of watching it with my boyfriend (who’s a diehard fan of his undergrad team), I think I might actually know what I’m doing with the brackets 😛
No, I was advised to stop doing it. It’s too bad, but there was some concern about the legality of it.
Thank you for mentioning everything but everyone house! I had never heard of it before and it looks like it will be a great source for decorating my new apartment.
