I'm all sorts of late posting this - but hey - at least I posted! This has been an unusual week for me with being sick and having my energy ZAPPED out of me. I hope to never feel that way again! Yecch!

But - this is a new week. I promised both myself and my husband that I would lose the grumpies and start anew.

• 22: My wedding shoes. Safe and sound in a storage bin in my closet.
  
• 23: Something old. The vintage brooches on my wedding brooch bouquet.
• 24:Guilty pleasure. Seasonal candy. Hello, peanut butter M&Ms.
  
• 25: Something I Made. I added a background to my bookcase with some wallpaper and a lot of patience.
  
• 26: Color. I love pink, green...and well, black of course. This is a new chalkboard I found at Target.
  
• 27: Lunch. I see a lot of Easy Fries in my future. I can't help myself. SO YUM.
  
• 28: Light. Bathroom night light!

Get to Know Carissa's Silver Lining {Sponsor}

ETSY shop owners know the way to my heart. Carissa's shop is full of adorable jewelry in a variety of colors. She also makes custom necklaces and sells her photography!

My favorite pieces in her shop currently:


I've had my eye on these for a while! These Brass Bow earrings are very cute. The colors of the beads are also my "thing."


I'm also way into this necklace! I love the variety of beads and how differently they are sized.


She also does custom name necklaces... for just $15! That's a steal.


Head on over to her shop and check out her inventory!

[sick week]

You know how people disappear for days or even WEEKS on end? I always wondered WHY. I mean, if I were sick... surely the only thing I would want to do would be to prop myself up on the couch with my laptop and blog, blog, blog.

WRONGo.

I pretty much have been in hiding since Monday. I've been sick -- so sick! Yesterday was the first day I could actually eat three meals and today seems to be shaping up to be better than yesterday! Finally! Relief!

I even managed to go grocery shopping last night.

Small victory.

Now I know why people schedule posts... so life can carry on as usual even when behind the scenes things are a big mess!

I can't wait to catch up with everything over the weekend. My house is in shambles, I have run out of clean work clothes, and my dogs want attention.

What a waste of a week.

Take it from me. Don't get sick.

• 15: My January Ziggy comic on my 2012 calendar. Happiness.
• 16: Morning. The view of some of the plants at work.
• 17: Water. Pretty much the only brand I drink...has nothing to do with the taste though! I mean, it tastes just fine, but it's CVS' brand. Periodically {once a month or so} cases go on sale for barely $2... I stock up!
• 18: Sweet chocolate donut.
• 19: Something I bought. I won From Mrs to Mama's giveaway and it included a $40 gift certificate to Paper & Ink designs. I paid for the difference and received this sweet personalized serving tray! Hooray!
• 20: Someone I love. Just my husband. ;D
• 21: Reflection. The sun setting at Marco Island.

Phone Photo Fun {"Disposable" Cameras on your iPhone}

Have you heard of the iPhone app Hisptagram Disposable? Basically it's a camera on your phone that takes pictures with filters...the only difference is you don't get to see what "develops" until you take a whole roll of film! So, you take 24 pictures with your iPhone and they "develop" showing you how the filters came out on your pictures. Bonus: You can "share" the disposable camera with others using the app... so you and your friends can take pictures on the same "disposable" camera!

Jen & I did this over the weekend. It was fun to see what pictures came out. It was also a way for me to stalk her over the weekend. She went to the movies, out to dinner, driving around town, I got to see all of that... lol.

Get ready for some really random photos.

Taken by me... Driving to work.


Current mood of my office! POSTAL! ARGH!


My cute cupcake calendar on my desk at work! An ETSY purchase of course.


Jen took this driving... the sky was pretty!


HELLO JEN!


Jen's man. This hat is hilarious. Wolf? Skunk?


Hello, delicious.

Same scene, I took this on two different "disposable cameras" we had going.



This was a place we went to dinner. On the water as the sun was setting.

Pretty, no?

So... if you have this app... we should become Facebook friends so you can invite me to take silly random photos on your camera!
