Awkward:
-Ran to catch a subway the other day and actually got stuck in the doors as they were closing. My friends had to help me squeeze in. Terrifying. Humiliating.
-I forgot to bring sneakers to my dance rehearsal last night. And the socks I brought were brand new. Let me tell you, attempting hip hop in slippery socks? Bad life choice.
-Got out of the shower this morning with virtually all of my shampoo and conditioner still in my hair….
-Our television now kind of turns on whenever it feels like it. Meaning we either have a ghost, or some funny neighbors who have very good aim with a remote.
-SIX MORE BUG BITES.

Awesome:
-Appetizers. Seriously I wish every meal could just be appetizers.
-My graduation memory boxes were featured on Molly’s Anthrofied DIY Challenge! The most exciting.
-ICED pumpkin lattes for these crazy warm but still fall-filled days! What a fabulous invention.
-Last weekend I went to an amazizing farmer’s market and loaded up on all sorts of fresh veggies, fruits, and cheeses, and and these pretty little babies:

Happy [almost] Friday everyone!

When I was in high school, every morning during homeroom after the daily announcements, this super peppy girl (whose name I guiltily cannot even remember!) would come on the intercom with a famous quote, saying, just something that was meant to be inspiring to the lackluster group of pubescent teens who hardly had their eyes open at this hour, let alone their ears or brains.

She would end every words-of-wisdom session with a phrase of her own: Make it a great day or not, the choice is yours.

I haven’t heard that voice in at least six or so years, but for some reason, I can’t get those words out of my head lately.

So here’s to a great Monday. A great week. A great August. If you want, that is.

The choice is yours 🙂
