just a few things

today i was having a mental debate with myself over whether or not I was going to have a dove chocolate that had been taunting me all day. I was seriously making a pros and cons list (don't tell my counselor :) I got sidetracked and started talking with a young woman (around MY AGE) who was telling me about how her and her husband had left Mexico to come to the U.S. and had had to leave behind their four year old baby girl. I finished what I was doing and sat back down and saw my little dove chocolate. I felt SO ashamed. I had spent like 5 minutes of my day debating whether or not I was going to eat a FREAKING piece of chocolate, while this young woman was dealing with heartache I couldn't even fathom. It just put my little silly problems into MAJOR perspective. So I ate the candy :) and loved the simple reminder:)

HAPPY ONE MONTH BIRTHDAY to sweet baby Ford! Auntie Lindsay can't WAIT to meet you! :)

I CANNOT LOOK AT THIS PICTURE WITHOUT CRACKING UP. okay. don't pee your pants of laughter. a girl i grew up informed me that she had a bunch of random wedding dresses that she had gotten from a bridal shop that had gone out of business. she needed to get all the dresses out of her house to make room for her bundle of joy due this spring, so last night my mom and I made a quick trip to her house to just check out the dresses. AHAHAHAHAHHA. i can't believe i am posting this. i am not one to talk, but i PROMISE this angle and this dress was the most UNFLATTERING thing I have ever put on. it was NOT made for someone like me. I could NOT stop laughing. Does it look like I have three GINORMOUS rolls or what?? AND THAT NECK LINE????? oohhh baby :)

Pretty sure that when the mail comes at work, people go running. they are afraid they are going to be the victim of my next "internet ordered bridesmaid dress" try-on session. :) Everyone escaped this one, so I had to take bring it home to find a model. While the dress is very cute, I think it is a little too bohemian for my liking. annddd that weird middle section of cloth?? ugh. could have done without that. so yeah. back in the mail it goes :)

have a good weekend :)
