GOOD MORNING!!



Today I got to sleep in a little, and it was nothing short of amazing.

I have 2 peps in my step. One from the coffee, and one from REM sleepage.



I am ordering this book today.





I have been obsessed w/ Hungry Girl for quite some time. Some would say we are food twins. Seriously. She has multiple uses for my ultimate favorite cereal, Fiber One (F1), loves Fuji Apples, Boca Burgers, and spray on salad dressings, and comes up with healthy alternatives for everything. Now if only I would have thought of the website.





Also, I must include another great quote from Ralph. He can do no wrong, that man.





"Every day offers you plenty of reasons to make excuses. But excuses bring you nothing of real value.

Sure, a plausible excuse may enable you to save face, to appear more diligent and disciplined than you know you are. But do you merely want to appear successful, or would you prefer to actually be successful?



Excuses hold you back because they enable you to avoid responsibility and the achievement it brings.
You deserve more than just a life filled with useless excuses.



Instead of making excuses, choose to make some honest, authentic progress. Even a tiny effort is infinitely more productive than a big, impressive excuse.



Don't settle for a growing list of reasons for failure. You can just as easily give yourself real, compelling reasons to succeed.



Free yourself from the shackles of useless excuses. And see this day as the grand opportunity that it is."

Dearest Coffee

I love you.
I love your aroma, I love the cute mugs that you go into, I love the pep you put in my step, and I love the atmosphere that you provide in many of the locations that sell you..

That is all.

I heart Ruffles (not the chips, of course!)

In the mornings, I usually have something in mind that I'd like to wear. When I actually put it on, however, I will probably choose to change that outfit somewhere in the neighborhood of 5-10 times. Sometimes I feel like wearing a dress, sometimes I get in a pants-only mode, and sometimes nothing seems to work.

Today, I walked to my closet with purpose and authority. I wanted to wear something I had but never wear. I put together 3 different shirts and a cute belt (I never wear belts anymore but used to be quite the belt-snob) and when I put it on, I immediately felt successful.

Superficial? Yes. But it definitely boosted the ole confidence and put a good start to my day.

Here's a lame crackberry picture of said shirts. (Pre-hair "teasage". Sorry you can't see the belt. Please refrain from the tears.)

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

WOW... just WOW.

If you know me you know that I'm a HUGE (and by huge I mean I couldn't think of a bigger word at the moment) LSU fan. Football is one of my loves, and so is LSU baseball.



We just WON a super-regional game coming back all the way from 7-2 to win 9-7.



We are just rediculously good at sports!!!

Tomorrow night is the tie-breaker to see who goes on to the championships in Omaha.

These are the times that I REALLY, REALLY miss being home.



The only bummer is that I got goosebumps 4 times and I JUST shaved. (But it was SO worth it!!!)



GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
