My late morning brunch status-post work-out: a strawberry, banana, and mango smoothie with a spinach and parmesan omelet and toast (I ate it as an open-faced sandwich). Yum!

It was such a beautiful day that Snickers and I just had to go out on a Sunday stroll around the neighborhood. Now Snickers normally hates going on walks... she can be a nervous wreck(!), but she was able to walk up and down my street which is more than she has ever walked in the past (at least with me)! I was very proud of her :)

Here are some things I got from the art store on Saturday!
I made this arrangement of hydrangeas and roses...
... And you know I just had to get this stamp! It screamed my name :)
Now that I sense that Spring is just around the corner (the days are getting longer and temperatures are warmer), I'm excited to get a number of projects underway! Look for an addendum to this post in a couple of days... I'll show you just what I have in mind ;)

I began my morning with a nice long run. It was the first time I ran outside since November (with the exception of the Santa Shuffle) and it felt really good. I'm so glad it's starting to get warmer. All the exercising I've been doing really has improved my endurance. It was so nice to finally run the full trail by my neighborhood without feeling tired or out of breath; instead, I felt like I could run for much longer.
Later that evening, I had an impromptu night out with the girls again! That's two weekends in a row! :) They're so much fun!

Now, anyone who knows me knows that I love to sing. Ever since I moved back home, I've realized that I've been doing a lot more singing and dancing in the car more than I ever have in my life. It's so much fun! I'm sure the people that pass me on the road think that I must be crazy, but you know... I really don't care. As long as I'm safe and having a good time, that's all that matters ;)

Happy Birthday, JP!
Saturday night consisted of plenty of sushi eating and birthday celebrating with good friends! It was a lot of fun! :)
Oh, and a Happy Valentine's Day to all the lovebirds and free-birds out there! I've seen many bitter and love-sickening Wall posts regarding this holiday, but really for me... it's just another day. I really do like Valentine's Day though, (maybe because deep down I'm a big, romantic cornball)... I read this post a couple of days ago on The Sartorialist and thought I would share a bit of it with you all for Valentine's Day:
"I'm telling you guys again, women notice the small stuff. They notice the gentleness/gentlemenliness more than if you use the right fork at dinner. I'm a very lucky man, Garance notices every little kindness I offer her, she doesn't miss a thing. Knowing that makes it so much more rewarding to do even more little things for her. I'll be honest, my biggest obsession in life right now is not better shoes, more suits or a bigger career but, to simply be a more graceful man for my graceful woman." -- Scott
I thought that was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. If there's anything I've learned within the past year or so... it's that it is the little things in life that really, really count.
XOXO

We've been planning this dinner for weeks, so I'm really happy that it finally happened! Ashley, April, Natalie, and I had a wonderful dinner at Bravo's and spent the whole evening and wee-hours of the morning reminiscing and catching each other up on our lives. We've all been friends since middle school, and though we haven't quite kept in touch in the past six years... it's nice that we can pick up like no time has passed at all.

Another dreary, blustery day! (If there was only a way I could've photographed the wind!) This has been quite the wintry season (I feel for my family and friends in NoVA and DC)... and by the looks of it, there's a forecast for more snow on Saturday... that'll be three consecutive Saturdays of snow!

My sister-in-law sent me this photo today, and I just thought it was the cutest/funniest thing! They're all snowed in up in Northern VA... my poor baby must be sooo bored!
A quick side-note: I can't believe I'm about 252 days into this blog!!! Thank you to everyone who has been following... I tell everyone that keeping this blog has been very therapeutic for me, so I hope you all have enjoyed my photos and reading my little blurbs as much as I enjoy posting them! ♥

During my undergrad years, I probably spent more time in the library than anywhere else on campus (at least that's what it felt like for me...). I rarely spend that much time in the library these days... I may be getting my "masters," but I don't nearly do as much work as I did when I was at William and Mary. So, when I decided to finish up some reading in the library before class, it was only natural, I suppose, that I felt a bit nostalgic.
