Matthew Good - “The Fine Art of Falling Apart”

This is one of my favorite songs — it’s also one of the saddest. It’s just a great piece of art.

Oh Noes!

There was a Monorail Crash at my beloved Disney World!  This is pretty crazy considering that the Monorail computers don’t allow cars to get within a certain distance of each other without shutting the system down.  That driver had absolutely no chance.  Sad.

Keenan was also kind enough to snap a photo of the two of us together.  And a little side note; my brother is 13 (I’m 27) and I’m 5’7”.  He’s going to be a giant!

I broke into an impromptu “Senior Picture” moment with my 13 year old brother today.  This may be one of my most favorite photos I have ever taken.

My brother is 13 years younger than me.  And he used to let me do whatever crazy things I wanted to do to him—like sticking sequins on his face, styling his hair all funky and taking his picture.  I loves him.

Blood type diet: Day...I don't know

So I think I’ve been doing the blood type diet for almost 4 weeks now (along with exercise 5-6 days a week—my norm).  I haven’t been living totally by it as it’s quite strict, but I’ve been trying very hard to follow when I can and I’ve been happy, food wise.  The first 2-3 weeks I didn’t see much change.  In fact, I started gaining more weight, which freaked me out, but I came back down to my starting weight a couple days later.  This week has been crazy awesome—I’ve been dropping a pound a day.  So in a lil’ under 4 weeks I’ve lost a good solid 8 lbs.  My goal weight is 125 (though I don’t care what I weigh, as long as I’m happy with what I see in the mirror), and as of today I’m at 137.  Awesome!

Too soon!

The first official day of Summer was 9 days ago.  Most schools were let out for the summer about 2 or so weeks ago.  And where I live it really just started getting warm about 2 weeks ago.

Now I’d like to know why:

  • Target has already clearanced and gotten rid of most of their summer outdoor items (furniture, gardening, landscaping, grilling, etc.) AND, why they already have back to school supplies out
  • Local shoe stores are already stocking winter boots
  • Hallmark is already putting out Christmas Ornaments as of last week

Does anyone else find this really obnoxious?  Hallmark’s website says they start putting out their Keepsake ornaments in July.  If you need a Christmas ornament that badly in July, you might want to sit down for a couple minutes and re-evaluate your life.

I’m loving how this photo ended up turning out! (and I totally wanted to rip this plant out of the garden, but I guess I’ll let it stay now)

Finally got around to putting together a summer centerpiece for our dining room table.
