funny stories from your best friends
sleeping in AND getting a lot done
when you cell phone rings at 1:15 and you realize you were supposed to meet the peron who is calling at 1. But when you pick up your phone, ready to beg for forgiveness, you find out they're calling to say they forgot too.

Look at this blog, and tell me it doesn't make your day.

bisous!

how these pictures say 1,000 mots francais that make my day

family game night
convincing your angsty teenage brother to participate in family game night

that day in august when you can first feel fall in the air

spending that day picnicking on Boston Commnon with a great friend

Over a month since my last post.


It's funny that I haven't taken the time to blog much in the past month because I have to say, everyday something happens that makes me truly and brilliantly happy. A lot of these things were the daymakers that I don't think I would have noticed if I had not started recording them in this blog. So with that positive little note, I'll continue!

painting with your best friend on a summer afternoon
how children never run out of exciting things to tell you, even though they know so little of the world
pretending to act incredibly interested in a child's story--but by the end, you catch yourself sincerely interested
being invited to stay for dinner

eating [vegan] chocolate chip cookies and [soy] milk before bed like a little kid...or santa claus

dancing outside on a summer night

how exhilarating it is to run in places where running is not the appropriate means of transportation

I'll try to make this short and sweet: how the days when things fall apart are the same days that your friends and family will show you just how much they love you.

This short film called Faubourg Saint-Denis breaks my heart and then puts it all back together.

PostSecrets that steal a piece of your heart.

how your dog will greet you with the most sincere enthusiasm whether you've been gone for 2 weeks or 2 minutes

how wearing cute undies under your everyday clothes kicks up your secret inner sexiness instantly

Oops!

I've been slacking to say the least. Summer break began and I've been caught up spending time at the beach, working, being with my friends, getting tattooed

However, my days have been wonderful, let me update you.

laying on the beach, right on the warm sand

the absolute giddy feeling you get when approaching the ice cold water on the first beach day of the summer

finding the best gas price around

starting up your car after filling your tank and watching the gas gauge fly up from E to F

those days when the sun is all you need to be happy

having breakfast for dinner

receiving a post card from across the pond

I hate quotations. Tell me what you know. Ralph Waldo Emerson

No matter how corrupt, greedy and heartless our government, our corporations, our media, and our religious and charitable institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful...Music makes practically everybody fonder of life than he or she would be without it.
