an ode to shel silverstein and how I feel about my day

i do not want to be at work today,
the little elsa marin conveyed.
i have some projects and tasks to complete.
they're growing and growing, but I can't seem to compete.
i'd rather be shopping or swimming for fun,
just anything at all that involves the warm sun.
but i have a list of things to do,
i can't simply ignore it, for there's more than a few.
it seems my fun may just have to delay...
wait, whats that you say?
you say today is friday??
oh, goodbye! I'm going to go out to play.


and then i decided to never try writing a poem again. ha.

how is it wednesday?

how is it wednesday already? 

i feel like yesterday was friday. 

isn't it funny how life ebbs and flows like that?

i have weeks that are so filled and busy but it makes time go slow with all the activities. 

and i have days that are pretty normal and it seems that they are 

speeding by faster than i can process them. 

i'm never quite sure how to feel about all of this change and differences in my life

and how quickly or steadily they flow in.

but if there's one thing i'm learning, 

it's that no matter what, it will always go,

and i must always appreciate it while it happens.

and right now, i'm definitely enjoying it all while it happens.

how's your week going?

i just gotta say

i called it. 

i TOTALLY called it. 

that bachelorette finale was exactly what I thought would happen-

i always wanted chris from the beginning, and i knew he was real.

but maybe it's because i'm actually des ;)

me and mondays

The older I get, the more relevant, "when it rains it pours" becomes. Even in good aspects. 

I had one of the busiest weeks I've had in a while last week. All in good ways, of course.
I can't stop thinking about Next Food Network Star. I missed last night's and I want to know who gets off.

One night I spent the entire night with 3 teenage girls and they're now some of my new best friends.

There's nothing quite like snapchat to make you realize your ultimate fattest potential. I hate it. 

I spent half of my week waiting for something to happen, and then I decided to make it happen myself. Gumption is a new friend of mine.

I started filming more this last week and it was one of the more exhilarating moments of my life.

On Wednesdays, I wear orange. It's a Habitat for Humanity thing.
ULTA is a dangerous place for me. There's more nail polish than I could possibly ever imagine. #nailpolishaddict

You know those days that you have to spend a lot of money on mandatory things? Those days make me feel old and tired. 

Along those lines, I can tell I'm cheap when I get excited that it rained, so I can go a little longer without washing my car. 

Do you ever have those moments that while everything is happening, that the thought crosses through your head that this is your life unfolding right now. Sometimes I forget that my life is always unfolding, but lately, I've noticed it more and it helps me remember my divine life plan. And that is something that I could not be more blessed to have.

what i'm reading

this week i decided that i should read. and while i haven't sat down and cracked open a book yet, .ike i wanted to, i actually have read a few really great articles and blog posts that are definitely worth while. you should take a read when you feel like it. be warned though-these span a wide variety of topics and genres. (links embedded in the sentences)

i love brooke white.

how everyone thinks they're a photographer now.

anything and everything about cory monteith's death and how lea is coping.

this is just plain funny. and true.

and that wily brunette. she always makes me think in the loveliest of ways.



enjoy some reading. i know i have.
