Liz from a bell, a bean, and a chicago dog. I enjoy your blog and your discussions over at SITS. It's been fun getting to know you better through the blog world.
Sarah from the common thread. I recently found your blog and love your writing style. Witty and amusing.
Wow! So flattered!!! Thanks so much, Alicia! :) I put up a link to your blog on my Bloggy Awards page. I also LOVE Glee, and look forward to solo DVR time to watch it. Add a bag of movie theater popcorn and a cherry coke to wash it down, and you've got a perfect "me time" evening! :)
ReplyDeleteAlicia I love your blog. It is so beautiful and I love the big gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you for adding me to your blogroll. I am glad that what I wrote resonated with you on some level.
Yes, youre right, it can be scary trying to figure out who you are and what you really want in your life but I believe that is the purpose of our time here on earth. It is a lifelong journey and it sounds like you are in the midst of it. If you are feeling withdrawn then just go with it and allow yourself to take some time out. I have spent the past year being fairly introverted and wanting to retreat from the world, but it has allowed me to go inwards and really get to know myself. It takes courage but it is worth it.
Good luck and never ever give up xxx
Oh my goodness - thanks SO much, Alicia! What a great way to start the week!!
ReplyDeleteI love me some Target, too, and think their Dollar Bins are ingenius. I'm a huge Cherry Coke fan, too. I wish more restaurants had it as a fountain choice.
I just came across your blog and have to say that you inspired me today. I was having such a blah crappy day and then I read your list of things that make you happy. Target...75% off? Hello girl who has a heart like mine! I LOVE Target. I could spend everyday in Target. Only I'd miss my kiddo + hubby (: Anyways, the list reminded me that there's so much good + happy in life that I should stop wasting it with blahh moods.
ReplyDeleteI'm following you now (:
Congrats on your award! I love summer thunderstorms too and around here you can count on them like clockwork, every summer afternoon! I am now following you and looking forward to reading more. Oh and great choices for awards...enjoy Liz's blog too!
