do you pin?

Remember when I told you about my tumblr account?  Well, I have moved on to Pinterest. I love how easy it is to "pin" something to my digital "pinboard." I used to print things out or tear pages from magazines, so I would not forget a great idea: Usually a beautiful quilt or outfit or white kitchen.  Now I do it all through Pinterest.

My link is on my sidebar - just click on the girl with the darling gray blouse and the link will take you to lots of beautiful things I love.

my crayon box family

i just posted links to my blogging family in my sidebar, something i've been meaning to do for a long time.  check 'em out.

sidenote: it's not as easy as it seems to have a large family photo taken and have everyone purposely not match, but just "go." i think we accomplished that goal in this photo. and actually, now that i am really looking at it, my yellow skirt is the awkward standout. but i still like it.

my family is awesome.

let's try this again

ok, here's a real link to my tumblr account.  sorry if you tried to look at it before and got nowhere.  set up your account and let's follow each other.  just click on the link, then click on "join tumblr."  i think that should be it.

try this

TUMBLR

Do you TUMBL?  Check out my tumblr link on my sidebar (a little ways down).  

Don't know what TUMBLR is?  It's a place to post inspiring images and ideas that I don't want to forget.  It's a blog that requires almost no effort and where reposting someone else's images is easy, and maybe even encouraged (just don't forget to create a link-through picture, to give credit.)

My sister Abby got me into it, and I love following her on TUMBLR and seeing the cool things she finds.  Then sometimes I repost them so they'll be stored in my TUMBLR so I can look back for inspiration any time.

Try it.  Then we can follow each other.

my blog layout WILL support an xl picture. thanks abby.

this boy is feeling a {little} bit better today after yesterday's 2 shots and some motrin. that croup is a nasty little bugger.

hair and such

Emily's blog inspired me to be OK with my non-inspired blogging mode lately. Lots of blogging thoughts about not much.

1. I think it's time to cut my hair short-ish. It took a long time to grow it out and I've never had my hair this long. But I really want to cut it cute and Katie Holmes-ish - maybe. I have already had cuts sort of similar to this. Funny how I never looked that good. That's why I grew it out in the first place.

2. I missed THE OFFICE last night and that's OK 'cause we're finishing up disc one of season 3. When do reruns air? I LOVE the pam/jim storyline. For Mark, it's the worst part of the show.

3. Why is everyone so preoccupied/fascinated with Edward and what's his name? C'mon, are the books really that compelling?

4. I don't think Georgia Yukon is a very marketable rockstar name.

5. I forgot my bff-Jen-since-2nd-grade's birthday (July 20), and I feel bad 'cause we have emailed and talked several times since then and I have never mentioned it. Pretty lame to send a card at this point. So sorry!

6. Looking forward to GC.

7. Looking forward to seeing my sisters soon.

8. If we didn't reside in the hot hot heat, I would really consider a black car. Very sharp and would promote a better/more frequent car wash routine.

9. I am feeling some serious motivation to buy new boots. And jackets. It IS fall right? I am happy to be heading to UT (are you guys wearing your muck lucks yet?), Lake Tahoe and Seattle soon so I can layer and justify fall/winter purchases.

10. I am SOOOOOO not a fan of Katie Holmes. Just the hair. What is that girl thinking?
