"Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

I normally don’t care in the slightest when Facebook makes a change. But I. Hate. Timeline.

Brompton mini hobo bag from J.Crew. Comes in 4 colors & has an optional crossbody strap to make it a versatile day-to-day bag. Love.

That color of green is absolute perfection.

Via email, regarding upcoming nuptials:
“You of course will be in charge of dresses. I may even give you free reign. I’m fine with a sparkle filled wedding.”

YES!!!

"When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: ‘If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.’ It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something…There is no reason not to follow your heart."

I just logged in to my Pinterest account for the first time in ages. I have a board titled “People”. The only two people on there are Lisa Vanderpump and Anthony Bourdain. I think that explains my personality better than I ever could with words.

How nice do you think one has to be to get an entire town named after you? Contemplating putting it on my life goals list.*

*If I ever as soon as I make one, that is.

Receptionist: Why did you get Taco Bell when our chili* contest is today?
Me: …
Me: I was planning on having both.

*Confession: I have a weird phobia of eating chili someone else made if I haven’t personally seen their kitchen. I always think there could be a ground up person in it and no one would know.

My feelings about this can be summed up as such:

HAHAHA, yours is so much cooler than mine, I had to reblog!

Remembering the Big Blizzard of 2011. And being very thankful we haven’t seen anything like it this year.

One thing has become very clear while reading my dash the last couple of weeks: I’m going to have to add dining at Alinea to the bucket list, huh?
A friend and I are planning a mom/daughter trip to Chicago in a few months. I should probably make reservations now.
