• Advanced Style. I already shared my love for this blog in a Friday Favorites post but it's too fabulous to not mention again.
• Diversions. She is so snazzy. I would really really enjoy raiding her closet!
• An Eclectic Heap. Also super snazzy with a raid worthy closet.
• Vanillery Garden. She has a gorgeous blog full of pretty pictures and excellent content!
my favorite posts this month:
• Jackpot - I've got a mushroom permit, and I'm not afraid to use it. (hahaha)
• Pymatuning Deer Park - I could look at these pretty deer photos all day!
• It's the little things - like sleepy Squid.
• What Doctor Octopus wore - I have the fanciest cat in all the land!!
• What I wore; Colorblock Dress - Gosh, I really love this dress.
• Why are baby animals so cute? - A tiny turtle so cute you might get teary eyed!
new (to me) movies I watched:
• Blue Mountain State: Season 1. This isn't really something that I would normally watch (I'm not really into college movies about partying) but I thought this was hilarious and I tore through the first season in a matter of days. I can't wait to watch season 2!
• Love Stinks. I really liked this movie, but I might be biased because I really like Bridgette Wilson (the girl from Billy Madison, if you're not familiar with the name) and French Stewart.
• My Teachers Wife. I love hating Christopher McDonald in movies, he plays a good jerk in movies.
• True Crime.
• River's Edge. This was such a good movie, one I'm surprised I've never seen before. It was hard to work while watching because I just kept watching the movie!
exciting happenings on and offline:
• Celebrated my birthday the whole month (boo at today being the last day of my birthday month!!)
• I started working on a new project that I've been planning for months and months. I can't wait to announce it once I get a little bit more done! I'm really proud of what I've gotten done so far.
• I realized morning star "bacon" is absolutely delicious and I've been eating it non-stop. It's been nearly five years since I've had real bacon and this stuff is better than I remember it ever being!! Tip: Toast some bread, spread vegenaise on both pieces and put some "bacon" in the middle. Your belly will thank you!
• Planning another get together with Elycia is pretty exciting! I can't wait to see her and Ivan again. Boy, oh boy, do I wish they lived in Ohio.
• I bought a brand new iMac for myself on my birthday. I'm still so in love with it, and wondering why I didn't buy one sooner. Work is so much more fun now. I love using photoshop on that big screen!
a tiny (and incomplete!!) list of things I'm thankful for this month:
• well behaved cats who love to cuddle • chocolate milk • delicious corn on the cob • netflix • my family • great weather! • having a dream job • beautiful state parks and "undeveloped" land.
• good music • the coolest nieces and nephew you could ever dream of • state fairs • spending time with old friends • slushies! • hair "mistakes" that turn out awesome • technology (and skype) allowing me to have a business meeting with a friend • squeeze-y hugs from my dad • free furniture • having great thrift luck lately!! •
August was great, but I'm not gonna lie, I'm STOKED about September. Fall is by far my favorite season.
