Oh, Hi Spring, I've Missed You

Today is just plain gorgeous.  The warmest day of the year so far and the sun's still shining bright.  Luckily, I had today off and got a lot accomplished and wanted to add blogging to that list.  I was wanting to wait until I had new pictures, but at the rate I'm going it would be another month until a blog entry.  I don't have a whole lot going on, just getting adjusted to my new job, new schedule, etc.  I'm still enjoying it and have met even more great people.  It's a nice change.  Exactly what I needed.

I did break my right pinky toe last Saturday night.  That's been fun.  Yuck.

Other than that, life's great.  It's Holy Week so I'm trying to keep a thankful perspective (as I should every week).  God is good. :)

On another note, I'm in love with Carrie Underwood's outfit in this picture!  The good news is, we have a blouse and jacket like that at work and new hires get 50% off Saturday.  Win!

Pretty Prints

Here's some pics I've been eyeing from my Tumblr that I would love to have as prints hanging on my wall. 

I'd actually love to have this last one as a tattoo.  Hmmm...

Week One Down

Oh my goodness.  My poor little blog has been neglected.  I started my new job this week and have been exhausted!  It's been years since I've stood for 8 hours and I've been feeling it!  I've met some great people so far and am really enjoying it.  All is well for now and I'm not missing my old job one bit.  I've been off today and I have tomorrow off, too.  It's been a good, rainy day to be lazy and not accomplish anything.

I'll post more later.  I got two of my Etsy orders in and will show you soon, but for now I'll leave you with a pic of the fam!

When It Rains, It Pours

You've heard the saying "when it rains, it pours" and I've always found it to be true.  Whether it's good rain or bad rain, it all comes down at once.  For me right now, it's "change" rain I guess you could say, so many changes and it's scary and exciting all at the same time.  Just feeling sentimental today. :)

DIY Wall Board

My new addiction is the do-it-yourself section from ApartmentTherapy.com.  This cute cork/chalk board would be super cute and handy in any room.

Speaking of wall art, I just ordered this sign from TheHomeSpunRaven.Etsy.com, except I'm having it made in turquoise.  Cute, right?

Painted Trophies

I have a lot of trophies from when I younger: softball, basketball and some for actual academics.  They're in a box in the bottom of my closet, the same place they've been for years.  I don't want to get rid of them, but also don't want them sitting out.  I saw this online today and can't wait to pull them out and make them home decor!  How good of an idea is this?!
