Day 154: Spirit Animal

Some years ago I was asked what my spirit animal was. I paused thoughtfully and the answer just came to me, definitely otter. I found this today and it just solidified how much I love and identify with this animal.

He has to play basketball to help his arthritis. I mean, come on. I challenge you to show me something cuter.

Day 150: Overgram

Its as simple as adding text to pictures, yet it is so fun! I found this app because I follow tashasgram on Instagram. (Definitely a must see. Lady dog tells it like it is and asks the real questions). My equation for humor, existing pictures from my phone + 90’s music references.

Day 149: Craft Craving

The hubs and I have been slow to put up wedding pictures. While we love so many of the photographs from both of our events, we don’t want to be THAT couple with wedding pictures all over their home. For some reason when I got home tonight, I was in a mood to craft and my mind went right to wedding stuff.

The hubs was raised Hindu and I Christian and when we got married we didn’t really want the ceremony to be traditionally either religion. So we charged our best man and maid of honor with the task of leading and writing the ceremony. Even though we pointed them in different directions (one focused on world views of marriage, the other on family and friends), they both came upon the phrase “loving kindness.” Since that moment, we’ve fallen in love with that phrase.

SO-back to tonight. I printed a picture from right before our Chicago reception and the text, “loving kindness,” in some fonts I liked. I traced the words on to printed picture and put it in a frame I had laying around. It might not be the thing that lives in that frame forever, but I like it for now. And it satisfied my craft craving.

Day 146: Thin Mints

I’ve finally decided to move Guilty Pleasure Day to Sunday. And that’s because, today, there were young ladies selling delicious cookies outside of Trader Joe’s. After an outrageous night of 90’s dance party and an early morning of workshop rehearsal, all I wanted was a nap. But I could not resist their smiles and promises of chocolate and mint together in the most perfect of unions.

Now, Thin Mints are best served cold (I prefer refrigerator over freezer) but my impatience got the best of me. I immediately ate like 10 and then slept for 2 hours. Pretty good for the first Guilty Pleasure Sunday.
