fill in the blank...tuesday?

Eh...why not?!

1. If I could get away somewhere for the weekend I would go somewhere warm, anywhere warm with a beach and a book and I would bring my boyfriend and my family, however, I'd send my family to another area of the beach and we'd meet up only for dinner...or breakfast :) I'd want the quiet and relaxation.

2. Something I often rant about is how lazy I am! I am even annoyed by those rants but that's usually what is coming out of my mouth.

3. One item I need to have in my fridge at all time is ...oh noes, should I even say?! Red Bull, I love it. Runner up would probably be skim milk.

4. My "life-saving" product is my laptop. It's how I do get my job done and how I keep up with everything I need to keep up with. Mostly anything related to web design and bloggers that inspire me.

5. A friend is someone who listens and says they understands...even if they don't.

6. If I could write my own blank it would be "When I'm alone and have no priorities to take care of, I like to unwind by..."

7. My favorite kind of art is modern. I love simple, clean lines.

"Friday" blanks via the little things we do....

a lounging day

An old photo but a good one :) Hard to get away with it when you're stuck in your crate. I took this within seconds of walking in the room. My little Eddie, can't get enough of him!

On with Memorial Day, I may not have been invited out to any outings or BBQs but I did get to sleep a lot and be lazy. I'm OK with that. Today, we plan to go out to the bookstore and read away. One of my favorite things to do, get lost in a book and I've been more motivated to read lately. I'm not sure why but it's gotten easier. Hope your Memorial Day was a good one and since I didn't get any BBQ/friends, I hope you did because it's always a good time. Happy day off :)

a third birthday

My niece turned three today. So cute. Full of spunk and innocence (sort of). It makes me miss getting presents like that and being so excited. Half the time though she was so distracted and would just throw gifts over her shoulder, just to empty the box/bag.

Happy 3rd Apple!

it's a great friday

"to change our lives, at some point we have to decide that, rather than suffer anymore, we are going to live in happiness. and the only way we can do that is to make the decision to look for things to appreciate, no matter what."

I got that quote from The Secret. If you've never heard of it, or read the book yet, I recommend it. It's a bit repetitive but so are the reminders we need in life to get by somedays. We forget that life isn't as difficult as "we make" it out to be.

Today is a good day. We're having a grill out/potluck today at work and I can already smell the grill. Also, it's Memorial Day weekend, so I have Monday off of work. One extra day to get my beauty rest! Gonna be so nice.

so yummy

I don't think I've ever bought or eaten black grapes before but man, they are SO good. Not as tart as purple or green. They're more light and refreshing. Only problem is, they're crazy expensive. I can't remember how much I bought, couldn't have been much more than a pound and they were upwards of $5. Why are grapes so expensive?!

Do yourself a favor and enjoy these at one point in your life though, they're a treat. Mmmmmm...
