Yesterday I was in Starbucks and I had just been handed my zen green tea when someone opened the door letting in a cold breeze causing me to shiver. I'm not sure why, but in that moment I suddenly felt really happy. I'm not sure if something in that moment connected with a happy memory or if I just like being cold? Alicia was convinced my happiness was a result of hanging out with her but... I doubt it ;)

so much glamour

My decision to take this week off of work ended up being an amazing one. I couldn't have asked for better weather (I better not jinx it by saying that) and I'm really looking forward to getting caught up on life. I spent most of Sunday getting some fall cleaning done because I was far too lazy in spring. I have been pinning recipes like crazy on Pinterest and even though I will probably never make any of them, I'm feeling really good about my pinning decisions. I saw (and looooved) Pitch Perfect with my sister even though I normally avoid movie theaters like the plague. Oh, and I bought a new toilet paper holder for my bathroom. I'm living a glamorous life my friends...
