New Blog!!

Hey loves. I am starting a new blog:

I switched to tumblr (gasp!) because it has better formatting (for me at least) as well as other fun options. Check it out!

Have a great week :)

mr. darcy (sigh)

I have a pile of movies that I call "feel-good movies". They are all types of genres, and I can always count on them to put me in a good mood. One of those is Pride & Prejudice. From the music (I totally bought the score on iTunes) to the beautiful landscapes, I truly adore this movie. And that scene towards the end when Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are walking towards each other? Swoon! You know what I'm talking about...

Pop this movie in, and trust me, you won't be disappointed.

happy go lucky

With this amazing weather we have been having, I find myself rolling down the windows and turning up the music. It's one of my favorite past times. Here's some songs you need to add to your playlists ASAP!! They are my happy songs.

"Daylight" by Matt & Kim

"M.A.G.I.C" by The Sound of Arrows

"Good Life" by OneRepublic

"Oh!" by Eric Hutchinson

"Times Like These" by Jack Johnson

"Starring" by Freelance Whales

"Wake Up" by Arcade Fire

"1901" by Phoenix

"Roll Away Your Stone" by Mumford & Sons (happiness happens around the 3:00 mark)

month of may

Well it's the first day of May, and I must say, it's looking pretty grey. Holy cow, rhyme time galore!! I saw the opening, and I had to go for it. Rhyming is for cool kids. Here in Indiana, it's been raining for what it seems like forever. I'm about to go start building an ark. It was pretty nice yesterday, but of course it didn't last very long. I'm really starting to crave some sunlight and warmer temperatures, that is for SURE! In a perfect world, it would be 72 and sunny with a slight breeze every day. Get back to me in 2 months when I'm bitching about the humidity and 90 degree weather. I can be fickle like that.

I will admit that I am loving all the beautiful flowers that are spouting up everywhere. I have to post my personal favorite.

Have a nice and relaxing Sunday! I have a softball game, so I'm sure I'm going to be a MESS afterwards!

oompa!

I don't even know if that is how you spell it. Anyways, I've wanted to go to Greece for a VERY long time. The views look breathtaking, there's crystal clear waters, and I'm pretty sure I'd be in heaven with all that amazing food. Santorini would be my cup of tea.

hello lover

Oh, I've missed you so. If you know anything about me, you know these bad boys are my favorite.

happy easter

Happy Easter everyone! The bunny still visits me, and is tres hip. I got iTunes gift cards, and the newest Harry Potter movie (Ron sure is growing up...). And let us not forget the most important thing: chocolate. Man, I have missed you. We normally get chocolate treats from Muth's, a very old candy shop located in downtown Louisville that my mom used to go to when she was a kid. She actually orders candy from there and they ship it to us here in Indy. This year we didn't get it, but you should really check them out.

Have a happy and blessed day!

pour yourself a cup

One more thing, can someone please point me in the direction of a coffee shop that serves me something like this??

call me butter...

Cuz I'm on a roll! Three days in a row now. I think if I just make this a part of my daily routine, I will be good to go. It's like this diet app that Jeni told me to get last weekend. I've done it everyday, and it isn't a "hassle" at all! Helps you be MUCH more mindful with what you're putting in to your body, which will be a struggle tomorrow when my mother told me what she will be making for Easter Sunday dinner :)

Just sitting here with my morning cup of joe, watching the DIY network. I must say, I've totally crossed over from HGTV to this channel. While I LOVE decorating, I find it fascinating that people can totally transform homes structurally. I wish that I had the skills to walk in to a room, knock down all the walls, and start from scratch. I'm sure I will someday, but sitting here in my 600 square foot apartment, it's hard to imagine!!

I plan on DEEP cleaning this apartment now, then hanging out with my friend Sarah this afternoon. I'll leave you with this brilliant picture I found last night that looks like my color scheme on my blog :)

Have a splendid day bloggers, and hopefully the rain stays a bay :)

south of the border
