Something Borrowed, Something Black
My friend Dawn loaned me a suitcase.
No, it's not pretty. Or stylish. Or hip in any way. But Dawn did a pilgrimage similar to the one I'm doing, only to Great Britain, and this was the luggage she took. It seemed fitting that the bag should accompany me on my sojourn to Argentina. Plus, it's tropical looking.
My entire life is packed in this one bag. Minus ten small boxes of books I have stored in a friend's garage. Impressive or depressing—you decide.
As I packed, I realized there was a big, gaping hole in my wardrobe: a little black dress.
Don't get me wrong—I have some kick-ass dresses. But a simple black dress that says hi there, fellow? Nope. But I packed my big-girl shoes in hopes that in Buenos Aires the perfect little dress waits for me.

You may notice that this blog was posted earlier than usual. That's because I'm in transit all Monday. I arrive in Buenos Aires late Tuesday morning, and you can bet my blog (as much as I love it) isn't the first thing I'm going to take care of.
I know--my priorities are totally out of whack.Posted by Kate, 01/11/2009 6:26pm (2 years ago)

Obviously finding the perfect black dress is the top priority. Hope you have a wonderful time!

This makes me really want to finish the rhyme... Hmmm... 'Something ---, something ---ack, something borrowed, something black.'. 'ack' probably translates to 'snack' which probably means a cupcake or donut for the road... And to match 'snack' would have to be a drink, so probably a coffee of some kind. There. My peace of mind has been recovered.

This morning, la senora gave me this delicate pastry that was black with cinnamon and not sweet. Yum. That's the "something snack" you were thinking of, Karen.
