owl you forever

Favorite past time of the moment: being ENGAGED.  To say that I am excited, would be a complete understatement.

honey.

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think.  Because although eating honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called. ~A.A. Milne.

quote saturday?

..."among those whom i like or admire, i can find no common denominator, but among those whom i love, i can: all of them make me laugh." -W.H. Auden.

cheers.

*Thanks for the image

{ouch} that's funny.

While browsing prettyprettpaper, i found this...which was {found here}.  haha. made me laugh and is one of the most clever designs i've ever seen. *i know divorce is not funny at all...but just couldn't help myself to laughing at this.

twenty10.

I know I'm a little late on this one, but here I go...

In honor of the year two thousand and ten, I'm making my first new years resolutions ever in my life...and I'm going all out...I go big or I go home; in no particular order...just as my thoughts flow, the 10 things I plan to accomplish in the year 2010:

1. Wear my shoes--somehow in the past year I forgot to wear heels...I don't know how that happened, but it definitely needs to change starting now {well starting after this ice storm {rain in january in mn} because we all know heels and broken ankles do not mix well}.

2. Dance while getting ready, morning, noon or night.

3. Laugh every day; seriously what is better than laughing?

4. Learn what the heck the mechanics are talking to me about when I bring my car in {this may take a long while...but what is google for?}

5. Get some exercise at least 3 times a week.

6. Eat at least one vegetable a day.

7. Wear something red and rock it--those who know me well, know that I tend to shy away from red, and by shy I mean run.  I have red hair and have always thought that was enough red for one person...I always tell people that you can pull of anything you want to, it's just a matter of attitude and fit; so why not wear red erika?...why not? it's on.

8. Do something outside for every day that it is nice out; driving with the windows down counts on especially busy days. 

9. Write a letter to or call my grandmas...I need to appreciate that they are still with me and let them know.

10. Use my art supplies at least once a month.
