This Makes Me Smile

Very random as usual, but I ran across these two pictures last week and both made me laugh, so I thought I would share.

Picture Update

All pictures in this post are stolen/borrowed. My poor camera has not seen any action in quite some time now. I will attempt to remedy that as soon as I find something in my life that I deem picture-worthy.



I CANNOT wait to get my hands on this happy little guy next month!!





I am obsessed with these granola bars. I have at least 1-2 of them every day at work.



I love this show, but the drama this season is really wearing me thin.

 

Since getting engaged, I have received an e-mail from this website almost every day...weird.



Kory and I are reading this book together as a part of pre-marital counseling. Really good so far!

Blog Reading

I think my lack of posting lately can be attributed to the sheer amount of time I've spent READING blogs rather than keeping up with my own.

Also, my life consists of mostly wedding planning these days which means I can't post on recent events because then you would know everything about my wedding and the surprise is half the fun!

So, that means, that you will continue to get these random thoughts on my mind instead of meaningful posts with pictures and events happing in my life.

If thinking about eating healthy and exercising would produce the same results as actually doing the work, I would be SO fit. I think about it all day long and then I get home from work and eat junk and spend the entire evening on the couch...go to work...repeat cycle the next day.

On My Mind

I wonder how many times I saw the words snow, weather and cold on Facebook the past two days?

What is that AWFUL smell coming from my kitchen sink?

I really don't understand why guys like video games SO much.

I want to blog but don't seem to have anything too interesting to share.

Twitter seems to be gaining popularity these days...maybe some of my friends will join?

The "j" key broke off my laptop. That's annoying.

I know I like reading blog posts with pictures. I should include a picture.

I am going here on my honeymooon!

I really wish my apartment had a dishwasher.

That guy and girl on idol that broke up HAVE to get back together. Their duet made me cry.

My friends having babies makes me very happy. The fact that they're 2000 miles away and I have never met the babies does not.

I really hate dressing up.

Why am I sounding so negative? I should work on that.

My snow day in London was so great. Good memories!

My wedding doesn't really seem real to me yet. Maybe when it gets closer?

I really love Oregon. A Whole Lot!

Little Black Cardigans

So the other day I was cleaning out my closet and hanging up clean clothes when I noticed something ridiculous. I do not have 1 black cardigan, not 2 or 3, I have 4! I have never realized this before today. I do wear black a lot...how depressing, must be the weather. So my first instinct was to get rid of a couple, but I honestly do wear them all. Meet the guilty subjects:

These pictures are pretty bad, but you still get the point. I just tossed them on my bed and snapped a picture with my phone--they really aren't so wrinkled when I wear them, I promise.

First up, the short-sleeved cardigan. This one is a must-have because I wear it over dressy tank tops to work in the warmer months.

Next, the 3/4 sleeve short cardigan. I really only wear this with one dress, but it goes perfectly with that dress and I don't like the dress with anything else.

Now we have the long-sleeve, casual cardigan that I often wear with jeans and oh, about every shirt I own. I'm kind of obsessed with this one and wear it way too much.

Finally, my long-sleeve dressy cardigan that I wear to work on days when the other black cardigan is dirty or was worn the day before. Ok, not entirely true...but I do wear it a lot.

So, there ya have it. I am not getting rid of any of these just yet...after all, I did just get rid of 150+ things, so I will justify keeping these items. The real issue here is probably that I need to add some color to my wardrobe and work on my fashion sense, but that's another post for another day!

Random things on my mind:

I have probably visited www.etsy.com and www.theknot.com 10,000 times in the past month. It's becoming a HUGE obsession..

This recipe for Oreo Balls is taunting me. Has anyone tried these before? They sound very yummy!

In the middle of my second winter in Oregon now...and I still love rain! I think my 23 1/2 years of living in the desert makes me REALLY appreciate how much moisture we get here.

I got a really warm, huge blue down mummy Marmot sleeping bag for Christmas (that was a lot of adjectives at once! probably not grammatically correct...oh well) so now I really want to go camping and try it out. Kory got a new backpack and we both got solar-powered flashlights, so we need to go try out our new gear soon.

Kory and I are attempting to make his grandmother's famous turkey soup tonight and I'm SO excited! It is delicious :)

We got Toy Story 3 and Inception for Christmas gifts...two VERY different movies, but easily my two favorites from 2010.

50 More Things!

So the next 50 things went a little slower than the first 50. I continued to go through my apartment regularly to find stuff to get rid of and I would find a few things at a time that I wanted to send away for good.

This is a bath towel on a folding table--blogger refuses to let me turn this photo so it isn't sideways.

I am now up to 104 items! It may seem silly to you to take pictures and count everything instead of just getting rid of it all, but it's kind of become a game for me and I enjoy it much more this way.

My plan is to do this one more time before the end of the year and I hope to get up to 150 total items by 2011!
