I had the day off work today because on Sunday morning we administered the ACS entrance exam. As one of my ever positive colleagues said on Friday afternoon: it's like we have a two and half day weekend!! Still it wasn't easy to get out of bed on Sunday morning in order to drag myself to school.

Anyhow things were much better this morning. I rolled out of bed at 7:30 am and snuggled up on my couch with a cup of coffee and caught up on some tv shows.

Then at 10 am I went to <a href="http://www.karolinkabulgaria.com/2012/05/16/a-haircut-at-kalo/" target="_blank">Kalo</a> for a haircut. I walked out feeling like a new person. Seriously, haircuts are the best. I didn't even care when snow flakes started falling from the sky this afternoon.

After my haircut, I met my friend A. at <a href="http://www.karolinkabulgaria.com/2011/10/16/tova-coffee-the-arts-and-a-decent-dose-of-cool/" target="_blank">+tova for coffee</a> and we then spent a lot of time oh-ing and ah-ing over a lot of the design work there. We both bought tote bags from Graphitine (a tote was 30 leva). Then we looked <a href="http://www.graphitine.com/coussins/" target="_blank">at decorative throw pillow cases made by Graphitine</a>.

The pillows were seriously cute and we both spent some time debating how many pillow cases we were "allowed" to buy. Only it turned out that the pillow cases were much, much to expensive for me to consider spending money on. They were exorbitantly expensive at something like 74 leva (for the pillow cases with gold print) and 49 leva (for those with black print).

I have almost never felt like something was too expensive for me to buy in Bulgaria but I realized that I am more often than not the exception to the rule given the fact I'm an expat. This said, I just about choked with the sales girl/barista told me the price of the pillow cases. A. and I exchanged looks and we both returned the pillow cases we'd been considering. They were cute but really, who's buying these pillow cases at these prices? I quickly un-imagined them on sofa.

Hope that you all had a great day! Sorry I forgot to take a single photo today.
