Day 260 hops along

Bunny!! This is my second spotting of this fellow this week. He/she's another resident in our building I think. He/she's just chillin here in the yard, enjoying the late afternoon sun on this fine Saturday in Chicago. Of course I took another step closer and he/she jetted into some bushes faster than I could blink. Sorry for scaring you little buddy. Also now I can't stop thinking.... what do rabbits do in the winter??! Is he/she gonna be okay?? I'm crazy. While we're pondering that, I've decided to name this little guy Jack. The end.

Day 242 goes to school

On my way to a morning meeting today, I was walking behind this scene for a few blocks. The backpack to human ration here was just so fascinating and adorable to me, I totally went into creeper mode to take a pic. Let's discuss how this back is nearly half way down her legs. I'm sure there was nothing in the bag besides crayons, a notebook and construction paper (life essentials), so at least it was light. But I've seen a lot of these "first day of school" kids and it immediately brings back memories of my school days back in Hawaii. Aah, youth.

Day 239 needs to get to Disney

At work today I spotted a group of 3 little kiddies who had set up a lemonade stand across the street. Even if they weren't standing there looking all adorable in their Disney costumes I would have walked over to support these fellow small business owners. No joke, these kids were so freaking adorable it hurt. One little boy, Trevor, insisted I not leave without looking at the sign they made. "We drew it with the crayons of the best colors and we want to see Mickey Mouse." I. died. Hope my little contribution helps these cuties get to Disney World soon!

Day 213, straight from the Ocean

On Monday we got a chance to check out Mahone Bay and Lununberg. Two very cute little towns, right on the water, with a good amount of shops and restaurants. Both were quaint and felt like walking into a special "Ocean" issue of Martha Stewart. Lots of little things like this picture found all over the place. Totally didn't feel like real life. But it was real life.... without internet. (Still not over it.)

Day 29 is a kid again

uh oh, cute baby picture alert! My dad charged me with the task of scanning baby pictures so we can have a digital archive of these precious little memories. I have hundreds of pics in my possession, from just born to awkward middle school years... so much goodness and embarrassment in one place! Anyway, here's a little peek. :)

I've got the keys to Day 28

I super hate fumbling with keys. First of all, it looks like you've never seen your keychain before ("which key is it? is it different from the key i used yesterday?!?"). Secondly it kinda makes it seem like you've never opened a door before ("i could have sworn this was the key! work key, WORK.").

Not sure why I care so much about looking cool as I open a door, but I do. PLUS i saw these at urban outfitters and I was like, get in my shopping cart right now. they are so perfect. no more looking like a crazy person standing in front of closed doors yelling at my keys!
