meet linus.

chloee and i finally 

got our macbooks tonight!

i am so excited.

i named mine linus

and hers is melinda.

we named them 

because they are our babies.

no joke, i feel like we got 

the deal of the century.

not only did we each get a

free ipod touch and printer,

the guy at the store told us

we are now part of the mac family!

it's the most wonderful time of the year

school starts tomorrow

and i can't wait.

school supply shopping

makes me happier than my birthday does.

in fact, 

i smile at just the thought of it.

 ---

i am to school supplies

as a hummingbird is to sugar water.

la tee dah

 it is completely 

out of character

for me to use this word,

but this weekend was

fabulous.

if you could look up

"best in the history of the world"

in the dictionary,

you would most definitely

find a picture of mes amis

{a.k.a. my friends}.

taylor swift's new single

i'd be lying

if i said i loved this song

from the get-go.

i didn't.

but it has most definitely grown on me,

and now i'd be lying 

if i said i wasn't obsessed.

our girl taylor

never ceases to amaze.

a word from the wise

"I don't worry too much about the future, 

and I don't worry too much about the past.
The past is gone, and you can't change, can't correct it.
The future, you can anticipate it,

but you can't necessarily do very much about it.
It is the present you have to deal with.
Reach out for every good opportunity

to do what you ought to do."
-President Gordon B. Hinkley

i love the rain until the worms crawl out.

 unlike most people,

 the sound of

nails on a chalkboard

never makes my skin crawl.

stepping on worms

makes my skin crawl.

go bananas.

today at work

a woman came through my line

and bought some bananas.

when i asked if she wanted them in a bag

her eyes opened wide and she smiled.

"why no, i don't need a bag,

i guess i can take them just like that!

yes, i will take them just like that."

it isn't uncommon 

that customers go without a bag,

but this woman acted like it was the most

liberating thing

she'd done in awhile,

and it really made my day.
