today, tomorrow & friday

things on my mind at the moment:

1.) my computer is dying a slow slow death and i *really* want to replace it with a macbook
2.) i am drinking an iced coffee that is so good it makes me happy to be alive [iced mocha mint mmmmmmmm]
3.) tomorrow i get to see my love
4.) tomorrow or friday (idk which yet) i am going to a flower show and i get to use my new camera
5.) tonight's dinner is an experiment. i am using the recipe from the side of the jar.

this little package:turned into this 3'x4' valentine.



because my love is really that big. everyday.

inspired by who else but jordan from oh happy day.

i was surprised all weekend long with lots and lots to make me very happy. best of all though was the time we got to spend together. being apart all week makes the weekend even sweeter.

happy valentines day my love

crap i really like this idea

not going to lie - i wish i had taken the time to look at this way sooner and that i was actually allowed to spend money on my honey's gift (we are going to disney and bought each other a camera as our gift).

via oh happy day and then i actually clicked on the link to get to aubrey's unbelievably amazing site.

{if it was not almost valentines day and i wasn't so full of love then i would be really angry that i did not do this}

i did however do something else that is amazingly cool that i cannot post about yet...but i will.

listening to: kate tucker's cover of springsteen's i'm on fire {which is pretty amazing if you ask me. right?}

oh spring.

i am ready.

revelry

i miss blogging.

and the connections with [as karey m. used to so fondly call] imaginary friends.

writing [obviously] has taken a back seat and until now it didn't really impact me.

this morning i found an old journal [from like 10 years ago] that was raw with emotion and it made me hungry. hungry to write and create and connect.

so here i am.

i feel like there is too much to catch up on so i am starting from here.

things might be a little different around here. still lemon pie but with just a little ... spice. and with a running playlist because quite frankly i cannot do much with out some good background music.

appropriately enough kings of leon - revelry has been on repeat for about an hour now. merryment is right.

oh, and thanks for hanging in there.

on journaling

i am a writer by nature.

i have a blackberry and i love it but i so poorly neglect the calendar application.

instead i carry around a red moleskin pocket planner that has a page for each day.

i like having a tangible place to write. plus i remember things better when i write them down.

the other day i came across the best idea ever.

an entertaining journal. [housed in a binder]

a place to keep invites you sent out, the food you made, how many people you fed, pictures of the presentation.

i love this idea so much.

there are so many times that i look back and try to remember exactly how i packaged something or planned something and i can't.

enter the entertaining journal.

new years resolution #3: keep track of what i am doing/planning for future reference. in other words, be more organized.
