Today's Thursday Lovies

Honey Bunches of Oats w/ almonds, I'm currently on my second bowl ;)

Realizing how much "vanity sizing" is going on. Seriously, I measured my waist yesterday, it is 26 inches yet half of the jeans I own are size 24's. (I also own 26's and 27's, they all fit EXACTLY the same way)Do they think they need to lie to me to get me to buy the jeans? I think this just make girls obsess more about getting down to the tiniest size. (Which in most cases is unattainable & super unhealthy!)

My cats. Oh my, I'm going to miss them SO much. I told my mom the other day that it will be harder to leave the cats than it will be to leave my family & friends. Before you start thinking I'm completely nuts, wait for my reason.......I can talk to my family on the phone all the time and still feel connected, I can't exactly have phone convo's w/ my kitty siblings. Perhaps we can skype?

Thinking about new, fun ways to wear last years fall clothes (& the few items I may or may not have purchased recently). My shopping addiction is ending RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW. (at least for a little while) I promised Rob last night. I have to realize it's not just about me anymore. I have to think about us; we have a HUGE move coming up. I need to start being a tad bit more responsible (& perhaps less selfish) & saving. Ya know, so maybe i can contribute more than my cuteness to our new apartment. ;)

I can't wait to get the sweater and belt I ordered from Anthro yesterday. I'll post pics when they arrive. :)
(They were on sale, it was my last hurrah, sue me.)






What do YOU love today?

Chloe

Have you seen this movie?

I watched it about two months ago with my good friend & neighbor, Jenn.

Um...

I liked it.

It was weird.

There was alot of sex going on for an afternoon movie with a girlfriend!

I love Amanda Seyfried in Big Love, it's one of my favorite shows.

I was a tad bit shocked at her performance in this film.

If you've seen it, what did you think?

Get Up, Stand Up

Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction.

- Anne Frank

I need to tell myself this quite often.

I can be SUCH a lazy bones.

Getting stuff done always makes me feel good.

Even if it's just crossing little things off my to do list.

Give Happy

If I choose to bless another person, I will always end up feeling more blessed.

-Marianne Williamson

I've always thought that giving "happies" is the best way to get "happies".

Get: get caught up and feel more connected to her

Give: a smile

Get: a smile (usually hehe)

Give: LOVE

Get: help when you need it

Give: the benefit of the doubt

Get: the benefit of optimism

What can YOU give to get a happy?

winning is everything

I got a wonderful little surprise in the mail yesterday...

This precious swan necklace was sent to me by Judith from A Box For My Treasure.

I was all giggly and excited when I saw that the package had arrived (all the waaaay from Ireland!). :) :)

I won it at a giveaway on From Skirts to Skillets.

Have you checked out Judith's shop?

She has some really gorgeous and unique jewelry.

Thank you so VERY, VERY much Judith & Lynzy!
