I have an addiction...

As a woman trying to be frugal with so many beautiful things begging to be bought, I have decided to feed my desire by window / screen shopping. Join me, won't you?

The latest objects of my affection:

Soia & Kyo

Pottery Barn

Anthropologie

Urban Outfitters

The list goes on, but that's all for now... off to make a delish pizza! Pictures to come!

No Excuses

I know there really is never a good excuse for losing touch with someone you care about, and I admittedly am guilty of not being the initiator in many of these situations where you have to make a conscious effort to stay in contact. What is absolutely horrible though is that more often than not my lack of contact is no reflection of how I feel about them.

I'm afraid I'm a bit of an awkward person as I am outgoing, yet shy; extremely caring, yet reserved. Now that I live over five hours from some of my best friends, I know I need to make even more of a conscious effort to be the one calling to get the latest dirt and making sure I'm up to speed on their life. And at the end of the day, there are no excuses... you should make time for those that mean the most to you.

I am not a person who forges friendships on a whim; because of this, I have a few select friends and I would do anything for them. There is not one day that goes by that each and every one of them doesn't cross my mind and I either laugh (out loud), which may or may not cause an awkward situation if others are present, or at very least smile remembering how wonderful they each are.

So, my piece of advice for the day? Make time; no excuses.

My Heart Skips, Jumps and Smiles for NYC

I took a day trip to New York City (THE City some might say) a few weekends ago and I must say there is something absolutely captivating about that amazing and beautiful place. I'm not sure if it's the rawness of the people, the mesh of cultures that clash and mold so wonderfully, or if it's the mix of architecture that just reaches inside me and stops me dead in my tracks.







No matter what it is I love the most about this place, all that counts is that I notice... Off to bed, hope to post more this week although I hate to put a time frame to it, it seems to jinx the chances!

July 4th on the 10th

So, this consistency of posting is obviously going to be an issue; I have been absolutely slammed with work these past few weeks! Time to play catch-up!


For July 4th, I spent the nice long weekend in D.C. with my dearest girlfriend, Krista and this cute little boy, Hobbs:



He is seriously the most ADORABLE dog in the world! Well, besides Lucy of course!


Moving on to my human friends, I had a fabulous time catching up with my college roommates. We are all on the move nowadays, so it was rare to all be in one room at one time. I loved it!


I don't think anyone would disagree that they are beautiful women, inside and out! We are absolute goof-balls and it's great :)


That's unfortunately all I can put together for now, hopefully I can post something more interesting tomorrow! (Thank GOODNESS for Saturdays)
