what i'd like to do this weekend

1. Go to the Athens Humane Society and play with homeless puppies. I can't wait to get my own place and be able to have a dog of my own...

2. Try a new summery drink. Seriously, there are a million great drinks out there, and the summer is coming to an end.

3. Sleep in... I've been getting up every morning before 9 to prepare myseld for classes starting on Monday... but today I slept in til noon. Yay!

fortune cookie

they set a date

A childhood friend of mine has been engaged for a little over 3 years and they finally set a date!Congrats to Brandi and Brett!

the difficult kind

I remember this song from a few years ago... but last night a woman sang it for karaoke and I found it again... so give the difficult kind by sheryl crow a listen when you get the chance

movie quote

From the newest movie in my vault...

"But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. How to tell from the ones who want us and the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe... it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is... just... moving on. Or maybe the happy ending is this, knowing after all the unreturned phone calls, broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment you never gave up hope." - Gigi from HJNTIY

There's some motivation to start your week off right...

he's just not that into you

OK, so I finally caved in and watched He's Just Not That Into You with Justin Long, Drew Barrymore, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Aniston. I promised myself that I wouldn't watch it until after I'd read the book... but I watched it with my mom this weekend. I really liked it, mainly because it's the story of my life!!! as sad as it is to admit it, haha. It's a romantic comedy that's mildly predictable... but was eye-opening for me. Anyways, I liked it, you should watch it sometime.

do something crazy... or just different

here are a few ideas to make this weekend unordinary...

1. Find a pretty photo you've taken. Enlarge, print, and frame it. When you see it around the house, you'll enjoy your own artwork.

2. While it's still hot outside, go jump in a fountain. Play in a sprinkler. Run and slip-in-slide. Remember what it was like to be a kid!

3. Use cookie cutters and cut your sandwiches into cute shapes. Or make deserts in a cupcake pan. What better way to make a delicious meal fun and keep the portions in control!

what animal is this

Remember looking at the clouds and deciding what animals they look like? I was never that kid... I wish. Here's a beautiful pic I took at the pool this week.

stupid and contagious

This Sunday I started reading Stupid and Contagious by Caprice Crane. I have owned this book for almost a year now, and finally decided to crack it open after Jenn raved how funny it is. I'm only 40 pgs in, but it's one of the funniest books I've ever read. Brief chapters, bouncing between the two protagonist's POV. It's a hilarious, romantic comedy, about two twenty-something neighbors who embark on a zany mission to meet the founder of Starbucks, and in doing so, find each other. Definitely a summer read to enjoy poolside.

what the splat?!

Nickelodeon has decided to get rid of the infamous "splat" design and switching to a all lowercase font. I don't like this at all. Nick was the core of my childhood existence, haha. The splat is what it's all about... don't take it away!
