Day 292
There’s just something about mornings – the soft light, the fresh faces, the anticipation of what’s to come – that makes it my favorite time of day.
Life Is Like

Day 283
A bowl of berries?
With yogurt?
And oatmeal?
Sure.
Just Because

Day 279
It’s almost Friday and who doesn’t like a cupcake?
Also, I am attempting a pretty serious cleanse for the next month as I have a very important event in November. Seeing that I live in a sugar bowl, I have to find as many ways as possible to distract myself from sweets. Naturally posting a picture of butter and sugar in solid form seemed like the best way to kick things off.
Catch-All

Day 276
The last five days have been very much like this dish and that mug down there – a catch-all for life’s little bits of everything. I spent the latter part of my birthday weekend wrapping up the month at work, continuing to celebrate turning another year older and camping outside a Starbucks to be one of the first 100 people in line for a grand opening that promised a year’s worth of free coffee.
In case you were wondering, concrete sidewalks are probably the world’s most uncomfortable surface to sleep on.
But for $300 worth of free joe, this ‘Bucks addict is pretty much over it.
After a weekend filled with rest and the much needed counting-of-the-blessings, I’ve spent the last two days buzzing around in search of gifts for more births – of pending babies, best friends, and older brothers.
I guess it shouldn’t have surprised me one bit when my dentist looked at me with concern last week and from behind her mask with furrowed brow said, “Um, Caitlin? Are you OK? Your blood pressure is almost 150. It should be around 120.”
After I explained my 3-hours of sleep/meeting month-end quota/fear of needles, she laughed and said, “OK, but do me a favor and stop at Walgreens and get it checked again this weekend any way.”
Life never seems to slow down, does it?
Maybe I need to tuck that fun card into my wallet. Perhaps The Limited will humor me when I try it on them tomorrow.
Happy Monday. Make the most of this week – Novocaine, shopping trips, coffee and all.
