The being known as Wonder Girl is speaking, I believe

Swatch of my favorite sundress...

Just half a thought before I jump in the car to spend an afternoon and an evening with three of my most favorite people in the big blue world.

I’ve been so caught up in shuffling from one office to another and keeping my head down that I almost forgot to notice it was spring. Technically, I’ve only missed about 10 hours of it (March 20, after all, starts us off.) But it’s covertly been spring all week, I think.

Which means it’s time for sundresses, my favorite 85 percent of my wardrobe. We were chatting about that very delight at happy hour a few weeks ago, humming that Ben Kweller song, when a rando-guy who was sharing our picnic table and hovering at the edge of our conversation sighed deeply and announced:

“If I ever meet my soulmate, it will at the sundress party.”

I don’t really know what it means, but I love it.

The weather doesn’t really determine my wardrobe, since I spend all day in pleasantly climatized office spaces. But it’s the principle of the thing. And my favorite ones are yellow. And I always think of this song.

“It’s too easy humming songs
To a girl in yellow dress
It’s been a long time since the party
And the room is in a mess.”
-The Monkees
