I can do that

Oh how I love you

Rob Brezsny writes the best horoscopes. This is mine:

Right now you’re like a sulking cherry tree that hasn’t bloomed for years but then inexplicably erupts with pink flowers in mid-autumn. You’re like a child prodigy who lost her mojo for a while and then suddenly recovers it when her old mentor comes back into her life after a long absence. You’re like a dormant volcano that without any warning spurts out a round of seemingly prophetic smoke signals on the eve of a great victory for the whole world.

Get yours here.

I may need these.

One of the best things in the blog world this week is that Joanna has been sharing wedding photos and they are breathtaking. If you remember, I posted how in love I was with her and Alex’s engagement photos back in January. I’ve teared up at each post.

Ten things you need to stop Tweeting about. (I’m totally guilty of the dog one.. whoops)

Please Sir is featuring Jenna Ardell. I love her photography. A lot.

Last week a video was posted on YouTube by the Anne Frank House showing the only moving pictures of her as a young girl. You can read the full story here. Amazing.

Jen Altman has a new (and gorgeous) book out, along with a 2010 calender. I plan on purchasing both.

The Little (Mama-to-be) Bee has a Shabby Apple discount code to share with you over here.

I love this beautiful video on super 8 film from Toast.

Have you ever heard of anything as delicious as pumpkin-hazelnut doughnuts? Making these for sure.

Brook Farm General Store my kind of store. (found via Decor8)

Some awesome iPhone art

Nichole finds the best stuff. Like these slippers.

I’m looking forward to this weekend. It’s A Day in the Country time again and my cousin and her kiddies are visiting.

What are you doing this weekend?

Those who say that only sunshine brings joy
Have never danced in the rain

I’m loving this semi-gloomy, rainy day.

This week is definitely living up to it’s end of our agreement!

Yesterday on Twitter, PolaPremium hinted at some “big news” regarding The Impossible Project. So being the total geek that I am I checked my phone when my alarm went off at 4:45 am.

It may be the first time I’ve smiled at 4:45 am.

Okay, now for the good stuff. Inspired by The Impossible Project, Polaroid has decided to re-launch Instant Cameras! Wow. You can read all of the delicious details here and here and here.

Hello new week. Let’s make a deal, k? If you promise to be nothing like last week, I will promise to be nice, and cheerful all week long and not quit my job. Deal?

Instead of complaining I’m counting my blessings and there are a lot of them.

In just over two weeks I’m off to spend a few (much needed) days with friends in Utah. I’m excited to see Chelsea, and Billie, and Megan and other good friends.

I’ll also get to see Alyson and her brand new baby Rose.

I’m going to try to visit my Mission President. President and Sister Evans are probably the greatest people I know and just seeing their loving faces can make you feel better about the world in general.

Tonight we celebrated my Great Grandmother’s 95th birthday. I made two cakes and both were dee-lish if I do say so myself. But now I have cake leftovers staring me in the face. So if you want a sugar fix come and get some cake!

My cousin and his wife came to visit for the weekend.

And next weekend my other cousin is coming.

Harlow is still the world’s greatest dog.

There are two Trader Joe’s near my house.

I have a job that pays me and so I can buy the things I need.

I have the greatest Primary class to teach every Sunday.

It is finally sweater weater.

I have a roof over my head and a warm bed to sleep in.

I have no real reason not to be happy. I am happy.

I hope you’re happy too!
