sunshine spectacular

This Presidents Day has been the best I have ever had!
I climbed a tree and did lots of other things. Which brings me to my list.

149. Climbed a tree that was marked "MY TREE". Sorry to whom ever it belonged to.
150. Treated myself to the freshest of yellow flip flops. Curtis thought it was funny when I said, "It's like walking on lemons!" I was outside in them all day, so I got some dirt on them, which is a bummer, but I'm not above scrubbing them up to keep em' fresh. Ha!
151. Played basketball! I was so sore the next day. Sports are so not enjoyable for me to play, but it was fun this time! I beat Curtis in P.I.G. so, that's probably why. I think I might do this again and again so I can impress people with my jump shot.....eh...
152. Sat outside on a blanket in my backyard, complete with bees and a little girl neighbor who kept peeking in on me through the slats in the fence. It was slightly uncomfortable, but I forced myself to stay put for an hour to enjoy the silence and put aside my cell phone and other distractions. This is what a cabin in the mountains is for.


I am determined to start video blogging, but I have no idea how. I will figure this out soon, I promise. Until then, keep the comments coming, I love when folks comment! I wish I had one of those blogs that had 40 comments on every post. That's amazing. But, you know, I'm still getting the hang of it AND I don't have the time that it takes to edit pictures all day and post and edit and post and blah blah blah. I admire those that dedicate so much time to it, I wish I could so my blog could be killer, but for now, what I've got will have to do!

When I video blog I will let you in on some every day life things and some compelling people I know, here's some pictures from the past couple of days.



p.s.
I really like the word "swag". I've been trying to find ways to use it, but haven't been able to....that's kind of discouraging because that means I probably don't know anyone that has it or knows how to use it, including myself, which brings me to my next question..can girls have "swag" or is that a guy thing? Hm.

p.s.s.
There is more where this came from...click the picture on the right sidebar to follow me on twitter!!

p.s.s.s.
My next blog will be dedicated to Twitter hashtags in some way...I think I'm going to invent my own hashtag for 7 Days of Something New....a la' Jimmy Fallon....keep reading!

whenever i'm alone with you



Dear People,

Even though I was sick all week long and making those moaning cold noises that adequately relay my miserableness, I had a nice time cuddling with my dog and watching episodes of Super Nanny. I definitley had cabin fever by Saturday night and couldn't wait to get out of the house and do anything!

Yesterday was such a sweet, scrumptous time! My husband woke me up with a dozen white roses and my favorite chocolates in a heart shaped box. *swoon* I get that some people think Valentines Day is cheezy, but I choose to squeeze every drop of bliss out of it and wish the same happiness for others that I have experienced myself. Why not? Why be grouchy about a day dedicated to looooooove? That's dumb.

I was SO sick when I woke up, but after a little slumber of a nap I got all excited about getting dressed up and going to see the Bieber movie. My husband actually took me to see the Bieber movie for Valentines Day. Isn't that nice? I think he liked it....

So, now that you know some little tid-bits of my day yesterday let me tell you something new:

138. Ate M&Ms for the first time in forever. Forced myself to not care that for every M&M you eat it takes a jog across a football field to burn off the calories.

139. Purchased a nail polish solely for the name. "Lift theVeil", I mean, is that not the best?

140. Ate my first Amuse Bouche...google that.

141. Wore my tights inside out just because. I'm weird, I know. But it's fun.

142. Helped a stranger spell Ornery.

143. Fed my dog Fruit Loops. Does that make me a bad dog parent?

144. Re-wrote some Psalms for fun.

145. Put up a bird feeder in my back yard!

146. Listened to Neil Young and imagined. Brain excercising.

147. Ate Grouper! Yum.

And now pictures.

Me sick as a dog, with my dog.....#148. Posted a picture of myself without any makeup on! Yea!


Headed to celebrate!

I was stoked about those M&Ms.

My Valentine, who looks a little like the Biebs as a child....


I hear that guys find pictures like this annoying, but I don't care because 1)I'm married and 2)I haven't posted one like this in yeeaaaars. 3)This was me playing with makeup and trying to send pictures to Curtis because I was bored......I like it because you can see my closet in the background.

Thank you for reading, comment and give me suggestions for some new things to do!!

I want to go berry picking and boat riding and bird watching and ride a motorcycle.....so keep in touch!!

Love and XO's,

BC

p.s.
It feels really good to be me and know that I'm unique.
I'm not afraid of that.
Or the big bad wolf.





Or the bitter hearts.

If the trees had a mother and a father like mine...



Some happenings of late:

131. Taking a picture of the fog resting on buildings in the French Quarter, New Orleans.
132. Ordering take out ice cream in a cup from Pudgies in N.O. Not as good as I thought it would be.
133. Buying bundles of hydrangeas, my latest favorite flower.
134. Discovering old pictures on my parents computer and marveling at how simple life used to be. I never knew what was to come...not in a bad way, but in amazement at the fact of what God has required of me in such a short time!
135. Surprising my Mum for her 50th birthday! And pulling of a pretty little party for her with my sisters.
136. Re-decorated my guest bathroom as a spur of the moment impulse for something new! It's so much better now.
137. Celebrated my 24th birthday!

And many more.





Now see me curl up and watch a movie.....Eat, Pray, Love I think.

P.S.
Julia Roberts is fantastic. So is that sweet tea that tastes like Fruit Loops.
