Sometimes it's ok to just smile.

This has been a fantastic week.

My incredible man surprised me with a brand new camera (expect to see more beautiful pictures happening here soon).

I'm down to my final week of nanny duties next week. Moving onto greater things.

I'm working on my first assignment for my writing workshop and pretty happy with my work so far. It just reminds me that I'm moving in the right direction and finally following not only my dream but something that I'm good at.

I was offered a fantastic part time job with a friend's company and it's going to be the perfect balance of work and still time to play/follow my heart.

I'm tired but I'm happy. I just feel like after months and months of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole… I've finally found the square hole and all the edges are pairing up. Weird way to say it? Welp, it's true.

This weekend we are house-sitting and it just so happens there's a pool, BBQ, cable TV and air conditioning involved. Hope you have had a beautiful week too!

What are YOUR plans for the weekend?

Currently.

reading // 50 Shades of Grey and I know what you're probably thinking. But here's the thing... it's awesome, it distracts me from stress and I'm 26 years old so I'll read what I want. Mkay? 

watching // So You Think You Can Dance: I used to be a dancer.... until I was injured. I just la-la-love watching these talented people. Master Chef: I cannot cook. But oh geez, do I love watching people make some super delicious foods. Teen Mom: This is what it is. Do I maybe buy ever trashy magazine with one of these ladies on the cover and then read them excitedly to find out tiny details of nothingness? Yep. Don't judge.

anticipating  // So much change is happening this month. At the end of this month my nanny job is done. I am transitioning to a new serving job possibly this month. AND I'm about to venture onto the most EXCITING writing workshop of my life. This could seriously change my entire life. Oh boy.

laughing about //well I need some help here.... got any cute videos or stories for me that will give a girl a little endorphine boost? Otherwise... generally I'm laughing at the fact that my upstairs neighbors are always screaming profanities at each other and NEVER seem to leave the house. Perhaps one has something to do with the other? Hmm.

listening to // Of Monsters and Men. Really loving this group right now and because all I have in my car is a radio.... it means in my endless hours of LA traffic.... I'm BEGGING the DJ's to please play it again. The others all want to hear it on repeat as well.

eating // Bulgogi meat from the Korean Market.... oh my yum. As well as a huge batch of pasta salad that I made a few days ago. What's wrong with tri-color pasta, feta, avocado, peppers, cherry tomatoes, pine nuts & ginger dressing? Absolutely nothing at all.

working on // Re-organizing my blog/shop/branding. Lots of custom hoops orders including ones seen here, here and soon-to-be here. Want one of your own? Sure, just visit here.

wishing // I could quit serving, get a job as a writer... and never again wake up dreading the day before me because of work. You know, just that is all.
