“It might be time for you to go. It might be time to change, to shine out. I want to repeat one word for you: Leave. Roll the word around on your tongue for a bit. It is a beautiful word, isn’t it? So strong and forceful, the way you have always wanted to be. And you will not be alone. You have never been alone. Don’t worry. Everything will still be here when you get back. It is you who will have changed.” - Donald Miller

"let your love be stronger than your anger. learn the wisdom of compromise for it is better to bend than to break. look for the best in your beloved rather than the worst. confide in your partner and ask for help when you need it. remember that true friendship is the basis for any lasting relationship. give your spouse the same courtesies and kindnesses you bestow upon your family. and last, say 'i love you' everyday."

august [1] break

a picture a day. no rules. just right.

lunch at coleman public house :: california burger with
avocado, sprouts & bacon with a side of truffle fries.

sometimes i lay under the moon

and thank God i'm breathing

then i pray don't take me soon

cause i'm here for a reason.

sometimes in my tears i drown

but i never let it get me down. 

so when negativity surrounds, 

i know someday 

it'll all turn around 

because

all my life i've been waiting for...

i've been praying for...

one day. one day. one day.

dear person who created pinterest,
you're making me the world's biggest procrastinator.

dear francis coppola wines,
your mini pink champagne cans make me a lush.

dear salted chocolate chip cookies,
you're making me fat but happy. probably equally.

dear gym,
thank you for kicking my lush, fat & happy behind.

dear trader joe's,
i can't wait until friday when we meet for the first time in charleston.

dear spotify,
where is the newest arcade fire album? huh?

this is real life.

xo (to you all).

this could be about me, but someone else wrote it about them. i'm still sharing it here with you. i am a gin girl. yep.

"I am a gin girl, through and through. Don’t get me wrong – a well-blended margarita hits the spot and nothing accompanies nachos and football better than a Bud Light (I know. I know. Stop yelling), but gin? Well, to appropriate the words of Galileo — gin is light held together by water. And what kind of people drink gin? Dames – those lovely ladies who are quick with a quip, perpetually amused and likely to break your heart." - via too sweet for rock and roll

this song is super catchy & the not acoustic version sounds awesome with my new speakers. i'm just saying.

the espinosas got chickensss!

these things make think of summer. and speaking of summer, tomorrow i'm going to a food truck rodeo - yes, i'll report back. also, i think i'm going to buy some fresh cut flowers at the market for my little apartment - maybe then i'll feel like putting away my laundry & doing my dishes.
