Just when I get a massive blow to the ego, heart and head - you know how to pick me back up by something as simple as a message on my afternoon tea:
Re-examine all you have been told...Dismiss what insults your Soul.
Walt Whitman...I think we would have gotten along swimmingly.

Happy weekending!
I'm so thankful for this weekend! Not only because it's 4 days long, but it's the first weekend in probably close to 2 months I haven't had to live out of a suitcase for at least a day of it. Don't get me wrong, I love Hunt and I's little weekend trips, but I'm also as equally thrilled to sleep in, drink coffee and watch my boi cook me breakfast. Run errands, go grocery shopping. Make lunch and listen to Hunter and his roommate banter about things that I have learned really quickly to tune out.
I hope everyone else is enjoying their weekend, long or short!
Oh....and...GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Positive Polly.
You guys. I am in the best mood today. Like. THE best mood. It’s 9:27am, and I’ve already giggled so hard I got tears in my eyes…TWICE. That happens maybe by like 9p on a good day.
It could be because I had a romantic date with my gay husband last night. And by romantic, I mean Thai food in our pj’s, Manhattan’s in Tiffany tumblers. Also, by romantic, I mean getting chased around the house with a piece of a grapefruit that looked eerily like something that makes your heart pump. And last but not least, by romantic I mean him tying the hood of my hoodie around my head so tight I literally couldn’t see shiz, giggling so hard I couldn’t breathe then him pushing me out on his front porch saying “Okay thanks, come again bye bye now.”
Yeah. We are REALLY mature.
You may quit judging now.
But the real reason I think I’m in such an insanely awesome mood is because of this blog post I read this morning.
For real. How. Powerful. Are. Those. Words?! It was the best thing to read first thing in the morning.
I could have used this one yesterday:
what if, instead of reacting...we stopped and took a deep breath
what if, instead of losing our patience... we didn't
But guess what? I have them today, and I’m going to execute those little buggers all day long.
I truly got chills after reading this post, and I couldn’t wait to get to work fast enough to live them all.
I think the most challenging one for me will be:
what if, instead of using the past as ammunition, we forgot...moved on and forgave.
That is something I strive for daily, but my stubbornness and aggression take over 10 times out of 10.
Here’s to change. Here’s to full hearts. Here’s to being the best version of ourselves.

Currently:
3 sickos, one Cup of Noodles, two pairs of slippers and one entertaining Apple computer.
Actually I don't know if Forks is sick, though I'm saying he is because he's playing the part quite well.
Poor Hunter is out cold and snoring even with my computer blasting Real World 2 feet from his face. I'm not too far off.
I hope your Monday is far less sick and way more productive!

World Wide Web favorites + 2 introductions!
It’s been a while since I’ve done a post of my favorite posts around the web – so no time like the present, right?
However, allow me to start out this post with some exciting news on the blog front! Two of my sweetest and dearest friend have recently started their very own blogs, and I couldn’t be more excited. One lives 3 states away…where the other lives {basically} 3 blocks away. I’m so excited to keep up with these two on their new blog journey! They are pretty cool chicks with something in common; they both had a tall, slightly immature and incredibly goofy chick in both of their weddings. No I’m not talking about Brooke Shields, it’s me silly willy! Okay, anyway – check them out! Now! NOW. Why are you still reading this? Click below!

Anyhoodle. Favorite posts from around the web startingggg NOW:
{ 1 } I was first introduced to this sweet girl via Instagram, and it’s pretty safe to say I’ve established quite the online crush on her! And I really do mean that in the least creepy way possible. Her motivation is 200% contagious and I admire her dedication to not just her workouts, but blogging every day, her school work, healthy eating, relationships etc. I’m really excited to keep reading her blog day after day to see where I can apply some of her philosophies to my day to day life. This post of hers reallllly stuck out to me, and in fact I’ve read it a few times over since her posting it.
http://jessicasgotthis.blogspot.com/2011/12/law-of-attraction-post-desire.html
Reading just this small paragraph gives me chills:
Make a decision that you're going to be happy one way or another—no matter what. "No matter what, I'm going to be happy! If I have to ignore everybody; if I have to never watch television again; if I have to never pick up a newspaper again, I'm going to be happy. If I never have to see that person's face again, I'm going to be happy. If I have to see that person's face, I'm going to find something to see in that person's face that makes me happy. I'm going to be happy. I'm going to be happy. I'm going to be happy."
I hope you enjoy her blog, but most specifically that post as much as I do!
{ 2 } Check this; Casey and her kids just radiate happiness and the sweet family bond that I someday hope to have. Though this post is light on words, the pictures remind me 200% of being a kid and celebrating the new year with my parents and sister!
Love it.

{ 3 } The words in this post completely stopped me dead in my tracks. Confession: if a post is longer than a few paragraphs, I rarely read it. However, this one I’ve read over, and over, and over again. I hope you do, too. : )
http://richellephant.blogspot.com/2011/12/things-to-live-by.html
I think that is the perfect post to ring in the New Year. In my opinion it outlines everything matters in life!
{ 3.5 } Since we are on her blog – let me talk about a second post of hers. I’ve read this before over the years, but I don’t think it’s something you can read too many times!
http://richellephant.blogspot.com/2011/12/love-one-you-hold.html
{ 4 } I’m seriously considering designing and printing out the red words in this; posted from one of my high school besties, Brandy!

Sleep when tired. How simple is that?!
{ 5 } This post speaks for itself through and through. No commentary necessary.

{ 6 } I know there is another one out there I just can’t remember which blog it belongs to. Gosh – almost as if I follow 100+ blogs or something. ::guilty::

Whiskers on kittens.
I laid down to go to sleep tonight, and randomly found myself scrolling through all the pix I took from this weekend. To say this weekend falls under "A few of my favorite things" as the blog title eludes to is the understatement of the year. And that's not just because we are only 2 days into the year, either. I wanted to post a few of my favorite pix, but then I realized "few" here means probably 12-15. Enjoy the pix now, and stories later.
ps:: If 2012 is anything like the last 2 days of 2011 and the first 2 days of 2012 - I need to buckle in, because in in for the ride of my life. Fo realz, yo.
