Beautimous!

*Please* don't question my spelling of that word... :)

I believe... ahhhhemmmm.... is everyone listening????

I believe that these plates from www.anthropologie.com are the EPITOMY OF BEAUTIFUL COLOR.

Please check back later for updates on what I consider "the epitomy of beauty and beautiful color." :)

mNe Calligraphy

Well, so much for 24 Pink Street. The enthusiasm sort of left me... and I decided on (take that for what it's worth :) ) mNe Calligraphy. I've been perfecting the logo, and I should hopefully have a copy sometime that I can upload onto the blog.

Copperplate Calligraphy

This is the next art that I'd like to learn... okay that sounds like I have many forms of art in my repoitoire. Alas, all I have is calligraphy and a love of pretty things.

I'd like to purchase this exact book off of ebay- I saw some great deals on the piece.

Cell Phones

Might I just comment on the irritating nature of cell phones???

Right when you need them to work... they *don't*.

CHOCOLAT CHOCOHOLIC

chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate....

SOMEONE HELP ME... I'm on a diet and I'm craving something.... eeeeevillllll.....

One Lucky Little Lady

1. I heart fortune cookies.
2. I adore chocolate-covered fortune cookies.

My addiction to fortune cookies is based on the fact that I think they're yummy and...

The Thursday before I got engaged, my fortune cookie read... "Be prepared for an exciting, happy, and unexpected change!"

Pretty nifty :)

Easter Egg Frenzy!

Soon and very soon I'm going to celebrate my first Easter as a married girl! :) Andrew said we could "borrow" some of his munchkin siblings for our own Easter egg hunt :). I'm planning on dying some fun eggs--- do you know how long it's been since I've done that?! I can't even remember how to do an Easter egg hunt! Do I just hide the plastic candy-filled eggs, or do I hide the boiled, dyed ones too???

My New Hair

Well after deliberating about whether or not I was actually going to ever dye my hair back to its root color, I finally did it :). My mom and another shopper at CVS helped me pick out the best color. It turned out a little redder than I was expecting. But I'm quite happy with it. It's a chocolate brown with a copper sheen in certain lights. I'm quite quite quite delighted :).

I'll post a picture once I get Sara to take a nice one of me :).

Giving it to God for HIS Best

Yesterday I applied for a full-time position as a library clerk. I've always wanted this type of job...God knows that. That's the most important part. God knows what my heart desires. He also knows what is best for me at this exact moment. I have to remember that while I struggle with the thought that there were so many other applications for the job that the library had to remove the job posting. Thoughts fill my mind... "What if I don't get the job?" "I might not have been the best applicant..." "Maybe I should have done a more professional job on my application rather than 'just being me...'" These are hard thoughts to struggle with. I've never "applied" for a job before. The jobs I have, have all been my employers seeking *me* out. And that's a nice thought.

But now it's time to move on. It's time for me to get started with something full-time, with steady hours. And that requires me searching- not the other way around. It requires me being vulnerable to being turned down- even for the simplest job, because someone else more qualified in some way might get the job.

My Father Knows Best.

With the idea of becoming a library clerk, I had temporarily set aside the idea of 24 Pink Street. Maybe that will blossom- quickly, hopefully :)- if the library clerk position does not come to be.

Fit for Life...Kinda

I recently "re-discovered" my Fit for Life books, by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond. I was 3/4's of the way through the first volume, when I learned (after browsing the internet for more info on them) that they are divorced. For some reason, that just puts a lovely little damper and a big "Bummer!" on reading the rest of the book. It's kinda like, "This isn't worth reading anymore...". One site even quoted Harvey Diamond as saying that American's are obsessed with food combining...but isn't that exactly what you were promoting?!?! Anyhoooooooo....

I've lost half a pound since yesterday :). That's a delight for me. I ***must*** remember that "the experts" say that healthy weight-loss is 1-2 lbs/ week. So let's see, we're in week three. That comes to a loss of 2.75 lbs...which is almost 1 lb/ week average.

I'm trying to eat healthier....

Andrew will be the biggest winner though... His weight loss is JUST NO FAIR!!! ;) Way to go My Love! :) I lova you and you lova me....

Body for Life

I'm an official Body for Life'er since Monday, February 27th. I've lost two lbs.

whoop

24 Pink Street

Okay, I think I've finally decided upon a name for my whirlwind of ideas: 24 Pink Street. It's my company name... The "parent name" (is that the correct term?) for all my ideas of things I'd like to do... calligraphy (specializing in addressing wedding invitations)....don't know what else right now.... oh yeah, the cafe of coffee and truffles that Sara and I will have someday...

I love Andrew.

Spots and Sinus Infections

This place is called Blogspot. My pages has spots on it. I think that's pretty nifty.

I have a sinus infection today... but that won't stop me from babysitting... well sometimes it would, but today for some reason, since everyone else on my little planet seems to be sick, too, it doesn't make much sense to go into hiding. We shall be sick together.

By the way...I like the colors in that last post. I like my design template now better than that grape leaves stuff.

If you can't tell... my sickness is affecting my head.

sniffle sniffle

Pretty in Pink

While googling "pink champagne" earlier today, I ran across a website/ blog entitled Slice of Pink. I loved it! I might not remember the content, but the layout and colors were delightful!!! Makes you want to sip on mint tea while perusing the website :). Just delightful. Why can't my blogs be PINK?????
