Things I Want Now – July 2010
The past few weeks I have wanted fro yo all day every day. I think that frozen yogurt has replaced my salmon nigiri (sushi) obsession, and I felt myself getting upset browsing Google images for soft serve fro yo after midnight. The difference between a normal craving and a pregnancy craving is that a preg craving makes you so upset you could literally cry or break something because you don’t get a specific item right now. The yogurt I like best (and is most conveniently located) is from TCBY. If it was organic I would probably actually eat it daily.
I have also been obsessed with Asian dessert drinks – namely, Che Ba Mau (Three Bean Dessert) and Bubble Tea. I’d have these everyday if there was anywhere to get them in Gresham. I should just stock up on ingredients and do them at home. Although looking up Che Ba Mau showed it was over 1000 calories… I don’t even want to know how many cals are in my beloved milk tea.
I just thrifted a rad leopard print cardigan and I’m really into light outwear like this leopard baggy beach jumper from wildfox couture. Yes, I know it would not look like that on me, especially with my belly and now-full Cs.
We go camping the first week of August, and it’s cold in a tent near the coast, so my eye is out for warm & comfy sweaters and pullovers. I almost bought an oversized poncho-sweater this week with a huge dragon on the front (yeah, hipster) but sadly it was itchy. That said, I have totally discovered the nearby Salvation Army – The prices and selection are everything that Goodwill used to be. Amaze. I even came home with two fabulous nightstands (banged up but solid wood and drawers in perfect, clean condition) for under $40.
I think I may have hit that ‘nesting’ stage, but surprisingly I am happily motivated to tackle home projects, shopping and decorating, but not at all overwhelmed (yet). Our home is in need of more art but I am pretty picky. I do want this Blogs and Coffee Print, which would look great above the dining table I often sit at with my laptop.
The last thing I am super craving – booze & cloves – A case of wanting what you can’t have + I’m missing out on my usual summer traditions. It isn’t as though I even drink or smoke often, but not being able to do it at all kills.
What are you fiending for this month?

& now im hungry ha ha xxxx
I love the 3 bean dessert drink… I never feel guilty when drinking Asian things like that and bubble tea but I do when I drink a can of coke even though a can of coke has way less calories.
I’ll admit that I’m a big calorie counter but it’s true, the calories in 3 bean come from coconut milk, whereas a can of Coke is literally acid – When they buy it in bulk to be mixed it’s corrosive enough to require a warning label.
i’ve had a mad craving for djarums lately too. its probably more of a craving for being 19 that the summer always awakens in me.
