wordless wednesday

if only i could tackle everything in my life with as much excitement as this precious firecracker does.  changing the sheets would be so much more fun!


happy wednesday!

inspiration

i came across this video today and i think it is the neatest story and wanted to share.  it made me want to do something like this, something to brighten someone's day in the smallest way.
enjoy (after you pause the music at the bottom of the page)!
happy tuesday!

i have a confession...

i quit drinking soda.  not only because it's terrible for you and makes me feel a little sluggish (or rather that i feel better when i don't drink it), but because i don't want to drink my calories.  yet another thing that goes along with the gym membership my love got me.

anyway, back to the confession...

i drank a dr. pepper yesterday.  not just a can, but a large fountain drink. as in 32 ounces of bubbly deliciousness.  as in i don't even want to know how many calories i drank (but i figured it out, and won't be telling you, mostly because typing the number makes it real).  but it doesn't count, it was valentine's day and i ♥ dr. pepper.

whew.  i feel much better after getting that out in the open.  enjoy your chocolate (which i didn't eat any of by the way).
happy ♥ day, a little late.
