today is the last day of camp for taylor so summer starts, well tomorrow....

so i will enjoy my last moments of alone time....coffee and pandora is a great start (brandi carlile is rocking my computer this AM)...and a thai lunch date w/ my hubbie isn't looking too shabby either.

happy tuesday.

i am lacking things to say....i kind of feel like i am tapped out. do you ever feel that way...like your life is on standstill or that you are peddling a bike really hard but you aren't moving?

a little pretty....

these gray and white pics have me swooning....such a pretty and fresh color combo!

did y'all receive the house beautiful 500 paint colors edition in the mail this weekend? i did...

i love reading other designer's favorite colors but beware, if you are loving the actual paint chip that they show in the magazine, it might be slightly misleading. I got out my paint decks to compare and somewhere b/w the paint and the printer, the colors got off. however, it is still such a valuable resource b/c these colors have been tested and used again and again by the designers. my only thought would be to take the magazine to the paint store so you can look at the actual colors they are suggesting in person. happy monday everyone!

31

yep...that's how old i am today...my husband reminded me last night that my b'day 10 yrs ago was quite different from this one (yes, i will definitely have to agree w/ that and thank goodness the video of it is lost) and that i am closer to being 40 then 20...sweet. so today, i am drinking 1 1/2 cups of DD coffee (pushing the limits b/c i am a rebel like that), me and the big belly might go float/ capsize in the pool, a pedicure would be great (hint, hint), and then my sweet husband is cooking some kind of special dinner for tonight (hopefully there will be lots of cheese dip and cupcakes...a pregnant girl's fantasy). as far as gifting, i can seriously say that part doesn't matter to me. warren calls BS on that, but it's true. we did buy some fancy camera that is way beyond my learning curve for our anniversary/ b'day. so once i get done reading the 300 pg manual in all of my spare time, maybe my pics will start appearing better on this blog! okay, enough...this girl is off to enjoy being a yr older.....and i am keeping my fingers crossed that this kiddo stays put for today and doesn't still my thunder.

if you've got to...

run errands, don't you wish that they would always look this stylish......
