Some light reading for you on this fine Wednesday.

Good morning to my mommy! I don't know if you know this but she's the bomb-y. When she laughs she makes my heart so happy. Even when she takes a little nappy. I hope she has a GREAT day. So much so That it'll be gay. I love you, momma! Look! I remembered my comma!


Dat beth got game
Gonna get her fame
She do the rap
And she can tap
De words be purty
She don talk dirty
At least not in Lent
Or she will have to repent


Pretty typical morning texts between my mom and I.
Happy Last Year At This Time It Was March Day!

In the words of Mr Sheen:

I feel like a successful day of work, finally getting my car street legal, an incredible workout, coming home to my first successful crock pot meal ready and waiting for me deserves the hashtag:

#winning.

I know this is more Facebook status update worthy, but I'll let you in on a little secret: 90% of the time I like my blog family more than my Facebook family. Oh who am I kidding 100% of the time!

Peace and chicken grease, yo's. And thank you to the bossman for that one.

Feb Photo A Day:: 22-27!

And the fun continues…

{ day twenty-two } Where You Work.


There are dozens of pictures I could have used for this one. The views of Denver and Coors Field from our balconies, the plastic wine glasses in the cabinet (no one knows where they came from), the giant blue ox, guitars everywhere….but I chose something most simple which one of about 3 walls of caricatures we have of every person who works with us!

{ day twenty-three } Your Shoes.

I can’t not have that song in my head when I see that word.

{ day twenty-four } Inside your Bathroom Cabinet.


All throughout my apt I have little notes, pictures and cards tucked away in my most visited areas of my apartment. In my cabinet? A note my mom left me a few months ago. : >

{ day twenty-five } Green.


From Hunter’s birthday breakfast! Roasted poblano peppers with scrambled eggs, feta cheese and cilantro! Of course loads of hot sauce, but that would have covered up all the green. : )

{ day twenty-six } Night.


The entire evening consisted of playing Draw Something with Amie while she was driving across the country! There were some drawings I was quite literally in hysterics and having laughing seizures over. There may have been a crossed eyed cat involved.

{ day twenty-seven } Something You Ate.


Leftovers from last night: Pancit! I’m obsessed with this recipe and can’t wait to actually cook it for someone to see if they love it as much as I do! Thanks again, Joanna for sharing!

Only a few days to go! Yay/sadness.

Oh and here is a picture of Charlie, Hunter’s newphew, and I from a few weekend back while playing Legos! This kid seriously, is the bomb.com.org.co.net.edu. I luff him. He's too cute not to include.

TGIM!

Happy Monday Morning!
I can always tell what my weekend was like come Monday Mornings. The days my bed doesn't get made, hair is in a pony and nails are either naked or chipped to heck, I can tell my weekend (though fun!) was jam packed and slightly exhausting.

However. When my bed is made


Hair is down and curled


And nails are freshly polished


I know my weekend ended relaxing, quiet and I actually took some time for myself.

I wish you a sweetly curled, freshly polished...yet unmade bed week! Because not EVERYTHING needs to be perfectly in order. : >

Be happy!


This week has had it’s fair share of really really fun high’s, and really really annoying low’s. Instead of focusing on the annoying low’s, I want to share a few random acts of awesomeness that has turned my frown upside down.

Sitting next to a super sweet couple last night during Ash Wednesday mass. I don’t know why, but their cute smiles and hi’s to me just gave me warm fuzzies.

Laughing, laughing and laughing some more with Mary all morning, noon and night long about absolutely nothing. It’s the world’s perfect distraction to pressing adult issues and the simply best medication.

After said mass, going to pick up some a 6 pack of beer (for Hunter) and a bottle of wine (for me) (it was that kind of a day) and the guy who was checking me out said “Welp. You’ve got some good beer. Some good wine. And your ashes. You are SET.” For some reason, hearing that made me force myself to forget the annoying chain of events that happened 4 hours earlier, and focus on the good I surrounded myself with last night.

Bumping into Jaime in the hallway at like 4:30p yesterday and before she even said something, she gave me the biggest hug, which honestly was exactly what I needed at that exact moment in time.

My coworker Mike giving me his can of Cherry Coke today b/c he gave it up for Lent, but his wife packed him one anyway.

Stopping for coffee on my drive home from Hunter’s this morning and having THE most friendly, awesome and funny barista. When he handed me my coffee there was the most darling smiley face drawn on top of it and he says to me “Today….you get a smile! Be happy!” It makes me want to be more silly and kind to complete strangers, because you never know just how much they need a smiley face drawn on their cup of coffee.


Anything fun and silly that’s made you smile extra hard lately?! I’d love to hear about them!

Feb Photo A Day:: 15-21!

Here we go – week 3 of the Photo Challenge!

{ day fifteen } Phone.


I love this picture of us – adventure, smiles and memories. Pretty much sums us up!

{ day sixteen } Something New.


A oh-so thoughtful gift card left on my desk simply for helping a coworker out!

{ day seventeen } Time.


Time was CRAWLING by on this particular day! Maybe it was just because I was so ready for it to be 5p and was so excited for my date with my Mawwry!

{ day eighteen } Drink.


My coffee, and Hunter’s Vitamin Water on our drive to Wyoming for the weekend!

{ day nineteen } Something You Hate to Do.


Leave this face after an especially fun weekend together. Wah.

{ day twenty } Handwriting.


My coworker being funny and encouraging me to order a new 2012 calendar! It always makes me smile, and actually encourages me to leave it vs buy a new calendar!

{ day twenty-one } A Favorite Photo of You.


One of my favorite pictures of all time. The 3 people who mean the most to me in this world! I look and smile at it daily.

I’m really enjoying this little challenge! It’s been so fun to plan out where and when I think I’ll snap the photo every day and get excited to share with you guys. I agree with you, Brandy – I hope they have one lined up for March! If not, let’s create our own, shall we?!

I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.

This quote has helped me through a lot lately and was one I just had to share.

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.
Audrey Hepburn


I can't wait to share some stories and a few pictures from Hunter and my quick trip to see his parents in WY this weekend!  It is a weekend I will hold so near and dear to my heart always.  Treasured and memorable to say the least.  


I'm off to a hot shower, then falling asleep with said memories close to my heart and a smile on my face.
