some links to check out:
snippet and ink: great inspiration boards (always very well executed but the thing I appreciate most is that they list desciptions of each photo so if there’s a pretty bracelet, they’ll link to the source)
a blogger who must dream about red velvet cupcakes as often as i do (via Laura, mmp office manager)
way cute diaper bags – love the cream shoulder tote!
okay, and last but not least, i was tagged by whitney at dare to dream (who i have yet to meet but look forward to doing so someday) to list 6 quirky things…but you know how everything you do seems normal to YOU? So, I’ve come up with four, if Jason reads this post I’m sure he can chime in with an additional 2.
1 – i go to bed at 10:30pm (when i can), it’s a little geriatric for my age but I’m SO much better with a full night’s rest. i don’t think i’ve ever pulled an all-nighter. oh, and i wish we all napped. do i sound lazy? i work really hard, i’m just a girl who enjoys her sleep :)
2 – i actually like to organize
3 – i have zero sense of direction unless I have a huge land formation to guide me – ie: mountains. but in kentucky, i’m lost as can be. so much so that if I’m in a really unfamiliar area and traveling at night, i’ll occasionally mapquest/google maps the return route just so i don’t have to do any computing about which way to go in the dark…i know, it’s sad. but i have a wonderful crutch, Jason :) when we were in munich a couple of years ago and turned around, he relied on me to decipher subway terminology. it was literally the *first* time i’d been any help getting us somewhere. sometimes we’ll come to an intersection (way outside of town) and he’ll ask, "which way do you think we should turn?" and 8 times out of 10 i’m wrong. i’m settled with the fact that a sense of direction just isn’t a skill you can really learn.
4 – i don’t think there’s anything more entertaining than soul train from the late 70s. the dancers are wearing brightly colored lyra from head to toe or suits and the dancing is well…aerobic! arms are going every which way – it’s crazy! as an intro to those who haven’t seen it, at the end of soul train the dancers form a line and a pair of dancers dance down between them. that has *got* to be the best two minutes on TV…outside the ballet, i have never seen men kick like they do on soul train runway! and confession, audrey learned how to kick her leg *because* of soul train. we have a runner on the floor in our bedroom and I scoop audrey up and we do our soul train moves till we reach the end while she giggles in sheer delight. forget thomas the train, she likes the soul train, too.
have a great week everyone!! -m-
