You know what sucks? Mondays. You know what doesn’t suck? Giveaways. Unless you don’t win. So really, giveaways are still Mondays for the vast majority of people. But for one person, a giveaway turns a Monday into a Saturday. In case you aren’t picking up on my really obvious hints, I have a new giveaway for you this week! So get pumped, one person!!!

You could win $25 to spend at Mint Julep Boutique. That’s where I got this adorable striped dress with pointless faux leather pockets (my favorite kind of pockets). It’s really a perfect spring dress and I can’t wait to wear it while eating ice cream on a patio somewhere. But when you combine my impatience with my love for layering, you get this: a winter workwear version of my ice cream dress.

Giveaway is open to US residents only. Ends at the end of the day Sunday, Feb. 22. Read the official rules here, then enter using the Rafflecopter widget below.

On Saturday, we went to our friends’ kid’s birthday party. She turned 6. Or 8. Or 2. I really don’t know the difference. I just know there were a lot of small people running around me, and I might have added a little something to my Diet Coke. (Hint: it starts with “v” and ends with “odka.”)

I thought it would be a good idea to balance out the day by also hitting up the art museum. Turns out it was family day. Sometimes you just can’t win. It wasn’t that bad, though. Most of the special activities were concentrated in one certain area, so we could look at the O’Keefes in peace. There’s also a contemporary design gallery that apparently expanded at some point recently and I had no idea! If you live in the Indianapolis area and haven’t been to the IMA in a while, you totally have to go. I mean how often do you get to see a chair that looks like a broom and a vase that looks like a certain part of the male anatomy all in one place? For me, it’s probably less often than I go to children’s birthday parties. I should really work on changing that.
