I Have A Problem

I won’t use anything I think is too cute due to a fear of wasting it…like these adorable notebooks that I’ve had for months and months.

Instead of writing in them…I either just let them sit there and look pretty (like the two unpackaged ones) or I just stick post-its on the pages inside. Now, why would I do that? Because I can easily take the post-its out if I decide they aren’t worthy for my cute notebook and reuse the same page. But if I write in it, then that page is done for. There is no going back.

I finally realized that I am crazy. And that there is no point living my life in fear of this! So, I came up with a better idea. I have decided to stop worrying about whether or not what I’m using the pages for is a waste. Because if the worst-case scenario is that I use up all the pages, then I have an excuse to go buy another cute notebook! So, that works for me.

Problem Solved.

The Little Things

It’s the little things in life like…

Ivy-covered buildings

A favorite song playing on the radio

Escaping the dorm showers by taking one at my sister’s apartment on Sundays

Smiles from strangers (the sweet kind not the creepy kind)

A reason to dress up

…that make me smile just a little bit brighter!

Sunday Funday

We are back on schedule, people! Allie is fully recovered from not feeling well, so our usual Sunday plans are back on.

This past Sunday Funday, we woke up to the most beautiful sunny day. Picture a July summers day…only its January! (I’m still a bit bitter about having no winter season here in California…but Allie and I decided to make the most of it)

We greeted this beautiful day wearing our “Sunday Funday” shirts that our mother got us for Christmas! And we went on a hike in Brentwood with amazing views!

Even an amazing view of Tom Brady’s house. Can I even call it a house? Let’s go with mansion. An amazing view of Tom Brady’s mansion. He just so happened to have a major playoff game that night (let’s not talk about the results because I may start crying) so we assumed that neither Tom, Giselle, nor the kids were in LA but instead in Boston for the game. Sooo, who was blasting the Taylor Swift song that my sister and I heard coming from their house…the maids?? Whoever it was, they seemed to be having a fabulous time.

After the hike, we drove down to Brentwood Country Mart to have brunch at one of the cutest places I have ever walked into: Farm Shop.

And when I walked in, I looked to my right to see one of my favorite bloggers, Emily Schuman, standing right there! What are the odds?! Despite the fact that I probably seemed a bit like a crazy fan, I couldn’t resist saying hello. She was just as sweet as her lovely blog. And I’m kicking myself now that I didn’t get a picture with her.

Then, Allie and I sat down to eat a brunch of eggs, potatoes, bacon, and the most delicious French Toast. I know I have been using what seems like exaggerated language (“most delicious”, “cutest”, etc) but I’m being quite realistic. It is the best French Toast I have ever had.

Once our tummies were stuffed, we wandered over to the prepared food section to pick out dinner for later that night. We chose chicken breast, potatoes, and beets! The best part about the dinner, aside from how yummy it was, was we only had to lift one finger to press “start” on the microwave.

After dinner, we had to get our minds off of the disappointing, to say the least, Patriots game. So, we headed over to the movies to watch “Django: Unchained.”

If you haven’t seen it yet, GO! There is a lot of blood and gory…but if you can get past that, it was a truly amazing film with the perfect dose of humor thrown into the mix. I just loved it!

And that concludes this edition of Sunday Funday! One of the best yet.
