Well, not quite yet but I’ve set some goals for myself to over the next few months and if they are accomplished I will be rewarding myself with something I’ve been lusting after forever. What else? Shoes!
They may not look like much but these ballet flats make my heart go pitter patter.
What are you wishing for?
I woke up this morning to find Harlow’s left eye looked a little red and it looked like it was bothering her. I checked to see if she had any hair in her eye and noticed it was starting to look cloudy. You can imagine what I did then: freaked out, grabbed the phone, called our vet and tried not to sound completely freaked out and begged them to see her even though they were closing in less than an hour.
I dashed over there and the results: She has an ulcer on her eye due to trauma.
Ugh my poor little dog. Last time she did this she actually managed to poke a hole in her cornea. I feel like a terrible mother.
Do they make doggie goggles?
I love books but I especially love old books. I think they tell a story of their own with a faded cover, dog-eared pages, notes or dates inside the cover. I always wonder who owned them before me, where they took them. I always have a book with me it’s fun to wonder where my old, beloved, beat up books have gone with their other owners.
What are some of your favorite things?

Inspired by Joslyn I’ve made an Earth Day resolution to not use another plastic bag for a store. I’m usually pretty good about bringing my reusable bags but you know, I get lazy.
Good thing I have these two cute totes from darcyart and forest bound. I love them both.

On Friday Grace posted these insanely pretty shortbread cookies from Miette and I haven’t been able to stop looking at them. If I hadn’t sworn off sugar, I’d order some right this second.

I was minding my own business the other day when I came across Nicole and Candice’s French Photo Retreat. Ooh la la! I have loved Nicole’s photography for a long time. And so hearing that her and Candice were putting together a photography retreat in Paris no less, well… I decided right then I had to go.
It’s probably silly to make this kind of decision on a whim but if you think about it, some of my best decisions and adventures were made on a whim. I’m so excited! We’ll be in Beynac-et-Cazenac, which, no, I cannot pronounce. BUT I do know that it’s where Chocolat and Ever After were filmed.
Did I mention I’m excited??
This summer just got interesting!
You guys. I decided on Wednesday that enough was enough and I’d give up sugar. Completely. Of course this means no more Coke. The first day was brutal. Yesterday was … okay. Today I might be able to get through the day without losing my mind.
I had no idea I was such an addict.
Don’t they make a patch or something for caffeine addicts?
My favorite time of the day is when I get home from work and take Harlow for a nice long walk. It feels good to get out in the sunshine for awhile.
I can never resist taking pictures of the adorable Enjoy Cupcakes trailer.
What is your favorite part of the day?
If you run to the post office sweats thinking you’re safe from being seen because it’s a) raining b) it’s the middle of the day c) you never see anyone you know at the post office… you’d be wrong.
You will actually run into your ex’s mom that you haven’t seen in months and she will want to stand there and catch up with you..
And while you are standing there trying not to think about the little muddy paw print on your sweats or your very frizzy hair, or how you’re wearing your old glasses, she will be impeccably dressed and beautiful as always. She will also be very warm and sweet making you feel like a rat because all you can think about is how you can get away.
Lesson learned: I’m never leaving the house in sweats again.
