Guilt-free Friday!

Hi kittens and happy long weekend to you! I just finished all my work for the month and I am one happy camper. Seriously, is there anything better than meeting a deadline, finishing an assignment, and crossing things off your to-do list? I don't think so. Well, maybe ice cream. Yes ice cream is better. And massages. ahhhh

Are you doing anything fun for Labor Day? It has always been one of my favorite weekends. Even though I'm remarkably nostalgic and I hate everything that possibly signifies the end something good (the end of summer, the end of my 22nd year) I can't help but feel a little exuberant about the new things to come (fall! winter! spring! a new month, a new year, 23!) 

I hope your weekend is light and lively, filled with fun and celebration. A giant bear hug until next time...

Hey! It's ok...

if new glasses* make you feel infinitely smarter, more mysterious, deeply intellectual and interesting. But a new watch will never, ever get you somewhere on time. 

and while we're on the subject... what is it with these people who set clocks 5, 7, 10 minutes early? 

to be a total diva on your birthday. I mean why should you act any differently than you do every other day of your life?

to have a full, legitimate conversation with your dog. Why talk to yourself when you can share your ideas with a furry friend who will listen attentively and even tilt his head inquisitively throughout the conversation (as long as you slip in a few key words... treat, leash, out)

Julian sent me this picture one day and I adore it. 

When he's not being living the thug life, Yoshi is actually quite dignified. And a great listener. :)

**New glasses:

They might make me feel smarter, but I can't resist the urge to make funny faces and take awkward, unflattering self portraits every time I put them on...
