beauty

I love this series from Cade Martin. Makes me want to be a ballerina. In another life maybe.

I would put the second one on my wall.


See more of his photos here.

yes I am


I feel like this book was written for me. I have been called neurotic on more than one occasion.



Those aren't my issues - but these are:

{I eat my m&m's by color - always. Green, orange and yellow first. Then red. Then blue and brown. But I save a few red to eat with my last blue's.}

{I don't like to eat outside because I have to wear sunglasses - but then I can't figure out whether to look through the lens or under them.}

{When I eat pop tarts I don't toast them - but instead microwave them for first 15 seconds and then 7. Every time.}

I'm sure there are more. Some of you may have been on the crazy end of them...

Class of '99

This weekend was my 10 year high school reunion. I was unsure of what to expect but ended up having a great time! For me, it was the perfect balance of spending quality time with my best friends who I miss a lot and catching up with people who I haven't seen in a long time (some in 10 years!). By the way - that's a Red Raider. Whatever that is.

I got to see all of my best friends from high school on Saturday except for one. We missed you Holli! Clarissa is missing from this picture too but I got to see her and her beautiful Zoey.

Gina, Ella & Karyn

And after the reunion I got to spend some QT with my cousins. We definitely had some laughs!

Katie, Juli & Ella

And John was there. He was my trophy husband (and probably knew as many people there as I did) (surprising because he didn't go to school with me).

It does not seem like it's been 10 years. In some ways my life is nowhere near what I expected it to be. But in others it is exactly like I pictured it. I've done a lot in 10 years, but honestly the thoughts leading up to this weekend made me realize how much further I could be pushing my life. I could be doing more; for myself and for others.

Now to turn thoughts into action...

knots

I have a problem with accessories. I don't wear any! Coco Chanel's advice was always take one thing off before you leave the house. But honestly, I think I need to reverse that. I think I'll try to put one accessory on before I leave the house.

Can I start with these please?


found on oh joy!

Oprah

The afternoon is creeping by because I'm ready to go home and watch Oprah. Which is weird for me. Not that I dislike Oprah. I just don't normally pine for her.

But today is special.

Stephanie was on Oprah today and I can't wait to watch! I have laughed and cried many times reading her blog. Mostly I think about her life and the way she makes me want to live better.

Baby Shower

My mom and sister-in-law and I hosted a baby shower yesterday for my other sister-in-law. It was lots of fun and turned out great! They haven't decided on a name yet, but when they first told us they were pregnant I started calling him Hash (because his last name is Brown....get it....Hash Brown...). That has stuck pretty well so that might as well be his name now!

Yummy cupcakes!
