What I {Think You Should Watch} Today

Some fun random videos!

A lovely idea, but I don't know if I could do it...

Uniform Project Picture Book from The Uniform Project on Vimeo.

Makes me want to wear red lip stick. 

And buy a striped tee. 

And be European.

The couple is some crazy modern irish step dancing duo.  Their YouTube page has a lot of other crazy videos from them. Check it out!


Crazy tears watching this one (like every time I watch Up. I can't get through that movie without a giant limp in my throat} I hope someone loves me like that someday...

Danny & Annie from StoryCorps on Vimeo.


Oh yeah, Mia went to my alma mater today.


I was surprised to see how much has changed in the past 2 years


We found the new Dooley statue...





It's um, interesting...


I also realized you guys haven't seen Mia walk! Well here ya go...

What I {Lurve} Today

1.     My brand spanking new MacBook Pro

Does the blog seem mac-ier? It is.

They were running a promo for college students (oh yeah, I'm a college student again) for a FREE iPod Touche.  I went ahead and got it but haven't opened it.  I'm afraid the device might be a bit redundant considering the fact that I have my G1 with Android.  But it's so new and shiny and calling my name. 

open me! pleeease Rachel? you know you want to!

Do any of YOU have an iPod Touche?  Thoughts?

2.     The idea of getting a tattoo...someday...

I want this

or perhaps this

Or this

And maybe even this

This translates to, "I am unknown here, tell everyone!"

I was supposed to get one for my 21st birthday.  Still haven't cashed in on that one. 

Speaking of 21...

3.     Watching my baby bro Jeremy got completely wasted on his 21st birthday.

Captain and Coke was his drink of choice for the evening.

 It kinda went waaay down hill from here.  I'll spare you the images. I have the sounds in my head to last a lifetime.

4.     Discovering a new blog

A CUP OF JO

5.     My new JOB

Yeah I got one. Jealous?

6.    Getting back to a routine with the bubs

Almond Butter...yumm

7.     Making art with Mia

Sticker Art

What do you lurve today?

What I {Soaked Up} Today

Today I was able to soak up some rays!

Today has been a b-e-a-utiful day!

Today is also the birthday of my mommy dearest!

Tomorrow is the first day of spring!

I adore spring.

I say that about every season.

I always think the next season is the one I love the most but I get tired of it eventually.

But today I was in love.

In love with the sun.

In love with sunscreen.  More importantly the smell of sunscreen.

Putting the baby in springy clothes.

Watching the baby think with her toes.

Playing Frisbee with Trin

A rare spotting of the chu outside

 Making Mia test out one of my hats for spring.

My afternoon snack.

Sharing my afternoon snack.

Wearing yellow. 

Although in general I feel my skin tone doesn't lend itself towards yellow. But I like it so much I can't help myself.

My jade ring. 

 I got it at the Georgia Gem and Mineral Show.  You can get some new jewlery, increase your rock collection, and pick up a few fossils.  It's fun for the whole family!  Trust me, my family goes EVERY year.

Afternoon snack is done.  Time to head inside.

Happy Spring!
