today's stream...give oh give!

who invited ants-on-a-log? the concept grosses me out, though i distinctly remember eating it as a child. seriously. celery. peanut butter. raisins!? so weird.
this is the year that i must renew my driver's license. wow. ten years sure goes by fast! i'm dreading the process for some reason. just another thing on my to do list, i suppose. {though they allow you to set up an appointment now...no more waiting in a ridiculous line for 2 hours, wahoo!}

i could really use a va-kay. anyone else on that boat?

we're working on putting together a little weekend getaway to st. george-ee-oh. perhaps glide through zion's. just get away, ya know? so need to get away!!!

lovin' this sunshine though. well, the sunshine on saturday. yesterday and today are a little sketchy, but at least it's a pleasant temp. i keep propping the door open at work so that i can enjoy it. hate being stuck in a box on gorgeous days. seems like a waste and it makes me feel tired.

my oldest niece is borrowing my dtf formal for prom this saturday. how nuts is that!? way. i sorta freaked out for a moment when she first asked me about borrowing it. sometimes i feel so old. thursday won't help. she'll look stunning in it though. we are pretty much clones of each other...though i daresay she's a bit skinnier than i was. her mom = sewing genius, so i'm not worried about any needed alterations.

and after all that, i'm still just sitting here at work.


daily dose of happy

blessed, beautiful springtime

upon being 26


well, i have been subconsciously building up for this moment for the past 364 days, and at the shockingly early hour of 2:00 a.m. this morning, it happened. i turned 26 years old. {though my birthday cake at lunch, provided by the loving kitchen staff, had 48 candles on it...not sure what that was all about!}

26.

what does this newly bestowed number mean to me? i have no idea. it's been a point of ponderance all day. so i'll live it up until i know. happy birthday, to me.

four years ago...

...now we make delicious meals together and snuggle in bed.

and of course, what is a four year celebration without snow?

dear life,

you're awesome and i love you, but seriously sometimes i just need you to back off. seriously. BACK. OFF. but since you refuse to comply with my simple request, i did what any overwhelmed woman searching for sanity would do, i left you. and it was wonderful. and as much as i shouldn't say it, i didn't miss you one bit! but now i'm back and we will continue along together, as always. but oh! i should leave you more often! and here's why...
