Calvin and Hobb(i)es.

{Are you impressed?}

I am lonely. Husband took a new job which requires him to be in Virginia for the entire month of May (cue sobs in fetal position). However, I have discovered several new things to keep me happy. Like spending 3 hours playing with the Vignette phone application for my Android and pondering important meaning-of-life questions like: "Is drowning onstage still a magic trick if you weren't planning it?"

I LOVE HOBBIES.

Hay thar.

Care to read along?

Oh Land

This lady has been making the rounds (and playlists).

Braid inspiration

Love these braids...maybe one day I will be able to attempt some on my own head!

Waking up from a long, deep sleep.

The sun is shining, it's warm, and I finally feel like I can breathe a little bit more easily.

You see, this is because I am happy. The kind of happy that makes you uncontrollably wiggle every part of your body in delight.

Some little things that have made me a very happy girl in the past few weeks:

Babies

Quiet libraries

Looking for pretty houses

Friendship bracelets

My little family (you + me = holding your hand will forever I be)

Ranunculus in a bright, cheery red

Weddings

New shoes

Happy Monday, lovelies. Go find something that makes you happy. You deserve it.

Relief soon, I hope.

{Yeah, that's a super large Starbucks coffee, two Five-Hour Energy drinks (never again), and a big ol' can o' Red Bull. It was like, 9am when I took this picture. Ish was all gone by 11.}

I spent every. single. day. this week (and all of last weekend...and maybe tomorrow, if I'm so lucky. meh.) in a 2x4 windowless law school study room for hours at a time. I had minimal contact with everybody in my life, including my family, my husband, and my dear law school friends who had their own exams and papers to prepare for. Exams are never fun. Here's to a relaxing weekend and great 3 months of co-op quarter.

Yes, they are!

You love Erin. I love Erin. Erin loves James. I love James. And I especially love that my dear, darling friend is so unbelievably happy.
