gratitude

say what?! it's friday already???
has this come as a shock to anyone else, or is it just me?

i have had a fabulous week full of great friends, great work, and great fun!  but would you believe it, i spent so much time playing that i forgot to snap any photos.  it's a shame because on two eventful evenings this week the mister and i {and friends} got all dolled up in masks and steampunk and 20's garb.  ah well, i'm sure we'll dress up in all that stuff again soon {knowing us and all}.

here's what i'm thankful for this week:
* attending my friend's dubstep premier at a fancy hollywood club {they were awesome and we were all so proud! this was also a masquerade party where we got to wear fabulous masks we made ourselves.}.
* quitting my other miscellaneous job {it was great as far as a random job goes, but it's time to focus on my career full time now. plus the simplicity of only having one job to worry about is heaven sent!}.
* accomplishing a huge to-do list for our little apartment {and soon we'll have our cabana!}.
* meeting up with one of my dearest friends {who lives all the way on the other side
 of the country} at the edison for a little whiskey and blues dancing.
* this playlist over on for a life inspired full of awesome covers {there are old favorites *heartbeats, such great heights, where is my mind* and some new discoveries *my boys, animals, i'm on fire* ...it's so good!}
* finally making some progress on my new blog design {i couldn't find a designer to work with, so i'm doing it myself, learning along the way. this html stuff is crazy!}.
* reading this amazing article, discovered on exquisite banana {thanks kayla!}.
* gaining a bit of inspiration with food.
* reading for fun {yay!}. 
* discovering this beautiful tumblr, luna~nueva, where i found this sweet photo:

happy friday!!

  5. Sounds like a great week, girly! If you happen to need a designer, give me a shout-out; I worked with one who helped me tremendously and her rates are very affordable.

    Your week sounds great! Please stop by today when you have the chance, love! XOXO

  10. Aw, thank you for the shout out, Kim! Isn't that article incredible? I bookmarked it months ago and revisited it this week when I felt like I was facing a stalemate. I'm also going to try and start following the artist's way toolkit and begin morning pages. You do them, right?
