Mantra Monday: Complimentary Coffee

Blog Gawker Sunday: Living in Yellow

You may remember last Sunday's The Daybook.


WELL!


Through a lovely guest post on  The Daybook, I found this lovely blog called Living in Yellow.

See how pretty she is?  All cute n' casual in those red heels and T-Shirt.

She is called Erin and has a sense of humor that leaves me giggling for quite awhile after I read her posts.

Perfect pick-me-up after a hard day's Pinterest browsing.  hehe :)

Erin talks about life and shares her spunky and humorous outlook on it in her posts.  Check out her blogging tips and look here for her own little intro to her blog.

 

Cucumbers

Cucumbers smell awesome.


They also taste pretty awesome too.


They are also stinkin $0.40 each at Walmart.


FORTY CENTS, people!


I'm a sucker for a good deal like that.


But anyway, I ate a salad tonight that will probably make you scrunch up your nose and maybe churn your stomach a bit.  Until you try it.  Then you might either heave into a trash can like I do when I encounter Jellybeans (don't ask.  Bad childhood experience) 


or


you will love it like I did.


diced cucumber half + mandarin oranges + sliced almonds (or walnuts would be yummy too) + a healthy (healthy meaning a lot. not the "ooh hehe I don't eat anything ever, I just live on smiles and rainbows" healthy eating) dollop of cottage cheese + a teaspoonish squirt of honey on top.


nomnomnomnomnomnom.

Awesome Stuff of the Day

I keep running across cool stuff today, like this pool porch (random Pinterest find -- no URL or anything.  It's probably a photoshopped scam, but if I say that a fairy will probably die or something - or DHEC will make a rule against porch pools - So I'll just say isn't that AWESOME???

Then I was gawking Inspired to Share's post on treehouses.  One day, I will sleep in a treehouse.  Somehow.

Then I ate an avocado and licked the pit clean.

superdelish, y'all.

Then I came upon Loops of Lavender, a lovely blog of loveliness.  Check her out!

And finally, I heard that McDonald's small frappes are a buck each till the 26th.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!

happy Tuesday, folks! :)

B-A-N-A-N-A

Confession: 

I have to pause for a second every time I

spell 'banana' (pause) to make sure I don't 

just keep going and going like this:

banananananananananananana.

That's all.

Oh, and PS -- look at this bananananana art!

The Little Things are Important

....Such as knowing how to tie a bowtie:

....Or taking time to do stuff with your kids:

....Or pillowfighting your best friend.




















(and knowing that you totally won)






Two little happy things of my day so far:


I have finally tasted sunshine, I do believe -- there was a pinkish spot on my golden delicious apple, which I (probably stupidly) assume is from extra sun exposure.


It tasted exactly what I imagine sunshine should taste like if I could take a bite out of it.


Sweet, crispy and delicious.


Ooh, also, little happy thing #1 and a half:  I dropped half of said sunshine apple on the floor.  Dog did not eat it.  WIN!


LHT #2:  My Valentine sent me a Valentine.  Through the old fashioned 'merican postal service.  And it had puppies on it.


Heck.


Yes.


I will totally be your Valentine.


For a freakin' year if you want.


Or five.


Or seven.


Or maybe a zillion and ten twelve.


Puppy Valentines through the pony express have some crazy untapped power, if you ask me.
