i think we put too much emphasis on the big stuff -the big moments; the monumental musings that play out within our lifetime. i mean, they are GREAT, don't get me wrong. i can still remember the rush of emotions that came over me when i received my letter of acceptance into pepperdine university as well ...
you make my dreams come true
so i was remiss in snapping a photo of my ensemble this morning (i blame too much holiday weekending), but that doesn't mean i don't have fun items to share on this wednesday afternoon. in case you don't follow me on twitter or aren't friends with me on facebook (my questions for you are: a) why ...
the clothes make the (wo)man
i'd like to think i'm a pretty loyal person. maybe to a fault. but i've always believed strongly in alliances, that relationships are really all we have in this world and whether that bond be with a person, a product, a food, or a philosophy, if i find something i like, i'll stick by its ...
so maybe i’m not
so i'm dating. y'all knew that (right?). anyway, it's great and awesome and new and fun and all of those really energetic adjectives that describe overall glee. but i've also found it to be extremely educational. sure, i've learned a myriad of things about him (he really loves cheesecake and having "adventures"), but more so, about myself. ...
you’re not better than me, harvard
i recently re-watched amy poehler's commencement address to the 2011 graduating class of harvard university. why? because a) it's graduation season, b) i've gotten really into parks & recreation these days and c) do i really need a reason? it's amy poehler and harvard. that alone should warrant a second viewing. anyway, i remember it being ...
define “camping”
so i'm going camping this weekend in honor of a certain special someone's birthday. if you're like many i've uttered the above sentence to in the past week or so, you're probably questioning the legitimacy of said claim. in other words, the first thought that may or may not have popped into your sweet little head upon ...
a cue from jeremiah
so this one time i went on a first date. (you're thinking this is going somewhere juicy and it kind of sort of is, but not really, regardless, keep reading, i promise it's a good story and if you get all the way through and determine that it was actually not a good story, well i'm ...
i got it from my momma
i've told you before that my high school experience was well, unique, right? that spending your formative years with a mere 85 fellow students can make for some interesting times. but despite the fact that we were one big dysfunctional family, i wouldn't have traded those memories for the world. mostly because our school had some pretty awesome ...
unrecognizable in a good way
yesterday a friend asked if i could recall the origins of a post i had paid tribute to last july. it was written by kate northrup and entitled, "it's not going to turn out the way you thought." one google search later and the words were before me once more. the sentiments no less true than ...
sense-ory overload
in an attempt to organize the cornucopia of musings currently taking up space in the old noodle, i thought i'd let the five senses be my inspiration. so here's a list of things you should be watching, tasting, smelling, feeling (not emotionally feeling, feeling as in, "hey, come feel this sweater, it's so soft!") and listening ...
