Girlfriend Material...


Fave! Used to stare at these keys 7 days a week, for what felt like hours on end. Bawling my eyes out. But in the end, thank you parents! For forcing me to acquire this skill... And multiple others! Apparently this makes me "girlfriend material". The opposite option being not so parent-read-blog-friendly!

Merci Beaucoup!

x's & o's + a big congratulations to all those out there who are "girlfriend material,"

Doing What You Love...


These days, I really love stringing together the most wonderful words and the unending search for the perfect pretty picture!

Sometimes You've Gotta Fail...

For a little motivation.
A little reality check.
For a little greatness.
Or a lot of greatness.
To learn.
To teach.
To inspire.
To do.

Just sayin'!

Story Time...

Once upon a time there was a new girl on the street who didn't conform to the current, shall we call it "feminine hygiene speak."

This lovely (if you can even use the word lovely when discussing said issues) lady sat back and took a look at how silly current conversation was and took a stab at speaking our language (how refreshing, no!?)

I don't have to say much, it's all here in their clever little commercial...



Ladies, it's time to break the cycle!

Consider me sold (even before trying the product... though I have already put in for my free sample here!)

(sorry boys, a post for you next time!)

Stolen Words...


Sometimes I pick up a book to read over and over again. Sometimes on purpose, and sometimes, I've just forgotten that I have already read the book, until partway through the first chapter!


...theory is that a man has many wonderful things in common with a handbag, like the fact that there's a wait list for the best ones. Some are two weeks (college boys and L.L. Bean totes), some are three years (funny men and alligator Hermès Birkin bags). Even if you are on the list for the whole three years, another woman with a superior claim can jump the line. Jolene says you have to hide a really sexy one or your best friend will borrow it without telling you. Her main concern is that without one, a girl looks underdressed. "...which makes it completely understandable that a girl may need to try out several styles of fiancé before she finds one that really suits her!"

Front Row Centre...


It's where I wanna be!

Is that so wrong?

Put Your Heart Aside...


Sometimes we put our heart aside.
We think it doesn't matter.
That we can put our heart on the shelf.
And come back for it later.

Actions that would break our heart, become possible.
We can't feel it when we put our heart on hold.

It keeps us safe.
Pure.
It keeps us in control.
Possibilities.

Sometimes we put our heart on the shelf.
To save us from ourselves.

We can put our hearts aside.
It's not wrong.
But it sure isn't right.

Sick + Tired...

...Of being sick + tired!

Not a fave!

...I've tried the sleeping all week. The sleeping all weekend. The vitamin D. The OTC pills. The Zinc. The doctor. The gross doctor-prescribed gargle. The more sleep. The chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side. The comfort food. The no food. The Zzz...

HELP!!

Sharing is Caring...


...because if you're not interested in reading about your industry, you're probably not interested in being in it!


Enjoy!
