Chloe

I really like Chloe Sevigny, she has the most truly unique style.
Big Love is one of my FAVE shows, her character, Nicki, never fails to crack me up w/ her permanent sour puss face and uptightness.

i love everything about this photo, her eyes look gorgeous, the hair is so soft and pretty & i just wanna prance around the house in this lovely little black lace undie set!

Looky Looky What I Got!

Hello Lovelies! If you recall about a week or so ago i posted asking for help finding a handbag for Valentines Day? Well i want to say a big fat thank you very much! to everyone who offered their suggestions. Unfortunately, i could not find one i found wonderful enough to fall in love with. FORTUNATELY, my fabulous boy toy had an even better idea for a V-Day gift.... & I'm using it right now!

Yessiree, all afternoon here at "work" I've been playing with my brand-spanking-new- just-delivered-yesterday, adorable little Dell mini woooooooooooowhooooooooo :)

It' so friggen cute & tiny & lightweight.

It weighs about 2.3lbs and is less than 9 inches wide!

I'm ridiculously excited to finally have a laptop i can call my own, now i just need to hunt down an equally adorable little case for it!

TILT

This week i heart.....

Stretching!!
Have i written this before? Possibly but that's OK, i love a good sloooow stretch. Not only is it calming but it keeps me quite flexible.

The Amazing Adventures of Diet Girl
In an attempt to save money on buying books, i headed down to the library last weekend. I've been squeezing in reading time whenever i can and I'm liking this book alot. The girl (Shauna) takes us along w/ her as she struggles to lose a ton of weight.She's Australian and i just love the way she writes. (totally makes my recent obsession w/ 2 lbs seem nonsensical, which it is......)

Kashi Dark Chocolate & Coconut Granola Bars
I just ate one this morning and it was DELISH, yum yum in my tum!

*notice a dark chocolate trend? ;)

Giving Compliments
Love giving em and love receiving em!
* check out the lovely quote i posted on monday

i know this is a day late... so i guess it's technically a TILF ( things i love friday?) that doesn't really sound as good though!

Scatter Your Praise

"I can live for two months on a good compliment."

- Mark Twain

*Compliments are so easy to give & they could buoy a person's spirits for days or even weeks!* Next time you notice something you like about someone, don't hold back, tell them! Even if you think it's an insignificant detail, it could be just the boost they need.

Happy Birthday Mom!!

Today is the day a lovely lady i like to call "mommy" turns 48!

She had me at the ripe old age of 23, being 24 i can not begin to imagine running around after a 1 year old at this point in my life.

Happy Birthday to my very first friend, my Mama!
