Friday…

This little illustration makes me happy.  It makes me think I could pick any color and I’ve spent some time thinking about what color bike I’d choose.  In true Amy fashion, I don’t think I’d be able to resist the pink—but the turquoise and spring green are giving pink a run for it’s money.  What color would you choose?

It’s been a quiet Friday after a tumultuous few days.  Sometimes,

UGH THURSDAY

Not gonna lie, friends: having a rough go of it today.  Here’s some things I’m desperately hoping will improve my—and maybe your—mood:

My new favorite, Yes and Yes, posted last week about writing yourself a prescription for happy.  What’s your prescription for suriving those rough days? Gah, again, I just find myself envying the heck out of Andrea.  Read this sweet love story of hers.  A modern romance—so lovely. I

PASSWORD

Sorry, y’all—I had a story to tell that I just couldn’t share freely.  It is hilarious, and well worth the effort of emailing me:

A good sport…

Recently, I was emailing with Kerri Anne, and we were discussing her desire to try out to be on the roller derby team in her town.  Awhile back, I’d admitted my own secret aspirations of being a roller derby girl (SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP!) and the reactions were…staggering.  If you click on the link below, that comment from Lil Timmy?  IS FROM MY DAD.  Who still teases me about wanting to try out.

Two good things…

I don’t know about the rest of you Northern Californians, but seriously, if it doesn’t stop raining soon, I AM GOING TO OFF MYSELF.  I know, I know—the rest of you are scoffing at me but listen: I PAY RIDICULOUS COST-OF-LIVING PRICES FOR ONE REASON: CLIMATE.  And that means sunny days in January. 

Ahem.  So, I’m trying to brighten my afternoon with two things:

First, if you’re so inclined, my

I want…

What I want today is to be here.

I want to take a break from my day-to-day, go somewhere gorgeous and just think. I want the rain to stop. I want to sleep in. I want to go to breakfast and drink a perfectly made latte, and pour my heart out to someone who gets me, and who will make me laugh until my stomach hurts. I want a

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

I have no idea. But I’m sure your atlas can help you, you ACME detective, you!

I can, however, tell you that you can find me over at Style Lush and Skinny Titch.

By the way, I’m pretty sure there’s never been a more awesome computer game than Carmen Sandiego. Kids these days don’t know what they’re missing.

Not a fan.

I’m not proud of this, but I think you should know I’m a really good Google detective, Facebook stalker, and Twitter watcher.  Don’t judge me, because I’m pretty sure the rest of you do this too.  Unless you’re one of those “I’m too cool for Facebook!” people who claims to login only once a week, yet, I still see a little green dot next to your name EVERYDAY FOR HOURS.

Things that changed her life…{part 2}

There are some moments that change your game, your view, your life.  They start out normally, but well, they never quite end that way, do they?  This is one of mine.

I wasn’t unhappy, per se, but I was lonely.  It was a cold night in late fall, and I was sick of being cooped up in my tiny studio apartment, as pink-and-red and adorable as it was.  I
