Directing you too:

Today I am in Awe of Jenny's (of Little Green Notebook) parents room makeover!

THOSE CURTAINS!

WOWZA!

And Randomly I needed to bring my laptop into work today.
So I pulled out this random orange bag to put it in.
Then when I was taking the laptop out of the random orange bag,
I found this creepy keychain in the pocket of the bag.
I have NO IDEA who this kid is. Or what this key goes too.
How did it get in a bag I haven't used in at least six months.
Weird.

Do you know this child?
Any guesses?

Peace,

Dear Friends,

I am at a standstill on what to write about this week.
I just have no good blog post ideas.

I mean, maybe none of my blog post ideas are ever really brilliant,

But I at least look forward to writing them.

I haven't felt that same fervor this week as I ususally do.

I apologize if you have noticed the lack of enthusiasm in my posts.

Or maybe they just seem the same to you

and I am the one over thinking this silly little blog.

No matter.

Either way, I am taking a midweek hiatus from scrounging up mediocre posts.

For the rest of the week I will leave you with other more exciting posts and articles that I am loving.

Today I am excited about the new Newsweek.

I hope you realize the dire straights our education system is in.

And if you aren't aware you should probably read just to be informed.

On a lighter note.

I am also into this.

Sidney over at So Chic has a wonderful guest blog series on Hostess Gifts going on.

I am not getting married anytime soon,

nor invovled in anything requiring me to provide a hostess gift.

But some of you are bride's-to-be like Sidney that need to serioulsy gear up for the Showers and the hostesses you will need to thank.

So head over there for some amazing ideas from other fellow bloggers.

Peace,

Dying...

I am dying for this DVF dress:
Dying.

My friend Megan has it.
She wore it when we were in Nola.
It is darling.

I want it terribly for my birthday.

I think I would live in it.
Really I would.
And with my new body I am working on for Matt Damon and my 25th birthday... Well It would look great.

Ok that is all.
one birthday wish down.

Peace,

Muse

Did y'all see Kirstie Alley on Oprah last week?


She talked about how Jamie Fox is her workout 'muse'
the fantasy that keeps her working out when she wants to quit.

My workout muse:
Matt Damon


I LOVE HIM.
He just seems so normal and nice and he is so good looking.

So from now on
When I am slugging it out in that dang spinning room
or on the boring treadmill.
I will be thinking:
"But it would be worth it to have a kick ass body just in case I ever meet Matt Damon."
"Do it for Matt"

I know he is married.
And I like his wife.
Their love story is just one more thing that endeared me to Matt.

It is just a fanatasy.
whatever keeps you going right?

Peace,

LOVE - It is a small four-letter word that will cost you everything:
laying down your life; passion and compassion;
giving without expecting;
feeling His very heartbeat and surrendering to His rhythm;
and following the Lamb wherever He goes, even to the ends of the earth.
(Heidi Baker)

This got me.
Especially "Feeling His very heartbeat and surrendering to His rhythm."
I desire to Love though. And to live a life of Love.
I wonder if I really did 'follow His rhythm", Where my end of the earth would be?

Peace,

Happy Weekend

(this pic reminded me of spring. Spring, please come.)

Oh I need Spring to arrive now.

I need to clean my apartment terribly.

I need do and put away laundry.

I need to unpack from my trip last week.

Thank Goodness it is the weekend.

I plan on exercising.

Attending this.
(you should come too)

and enjoy the spring like weather that is supposed to be arriving tomorrow.

Have a lovely Weekend

Peace,
