i am saying thanks to my dear Suze
(if you haven't been to her slice of the blog pie, you better hop on over there)
she has awarded me the versatile blogger award.  her blog is so pretty and i just love
how optimistic she is!  she is one lovely blogger! go visit her.

you honestly should just scroll past and see who i've awarded this to, i would!

1. my roommate and i have an addiction to SWEET TOOTH FAIRY sugar cookies and we go at least 2x a week (ya, it's a severe problem) (and i'm not exaggerating when i say 2x a week. its usually more than that)

2. i drink at least 100 oz. of water. on a daily basis.

3. i am trying to learn how to do the 'party rock' dance (see it here)

5. i have grown up a lot in the last little while, i am asking santa claus for one of these:

6. i am a laundry detergent snob.  i have to use tide with bleach and downy (the pink one) as my soap combo.  it makes my clothes smell delish.  try it sometime.  you'll thank me for life.

today was an incredible day.

i layed in bed until, ohhhh about 9:45 this morning (that's sleeping in for me!)

then I woke up and paroozed on over to McDonald's for a lovely

breakfast with my momma (she said it was HER weekend and she wanted to go)

afterwards, I went and ran some errands and I picked up her fabulous cake that I ordered

from THE CHOCOLATE for Mother's Day.

(kitty katrina cake...check it out peeps)

i then went to an old friends reception.

it was so great because another old friend and I went together.

I haven't seen her in a years time.

how can I be so dumb to let the time slip away?

we also hit up Zupas and chowed down some yummy pannini's and salads.

we chatted.

chatted.

chatted.

oh yeah, and laughed. a lot.

you see, it's great friendships like ours that make me so happy.

its been over a year since we've seen each other, but it feels like

we haven't missed a day apart.

love you B!

I have always secretly wanted to be proposed to in a downpour rain storm.
