I'm dreaming of a winter weekend getaway...

 Tucked away in the mountains somewhere
Cuddled up in a cozy blanket with my man and my pup
 Hot chocolate in hand
Fire burning warm & bright

... and I'll keep dreaming because it's only Wednesday and I have to work the next two days, 12 hr shifts to be exact. Ugh.

"I don’t want to stay in the bad place, where no one believes in silver linings or love or happy endings."
-Silver Linings Playbook 

If you haven't seen it, I suggest you do. It was a really touching story that I feel almost everyone can somehow relate to.

What an amazing way to propose! 
This video brought me to tears. 
This chick is one lucky gal.

It's my weekend to work. I've spent the last twelve hours on my feet caring for strangers and I am over-the-moon excited to crash on the couch. The hubs is heading out for a night on the town with friends, and I am totally content with missing out on all the fun. I used to have a little something I call "FOMS", also known as, Fear Of Missing Something. As I enter my late twenties, I am slowly, but surely, noticing that I could care less what everyone else has going on. I feel pretty damn good about this party for one I am about to throw in my living room... Actually, that's a complete lie. Oliver, the most cuddly pup in the entire world, will be joining me. Could a girl ask for more?

Ain't that the truth.

I want to live simply. I want to sit by the window when it rains and read books I’ll never be tested on. I want to paint because I want to, not because I’ve got something to prove. I want to listen to my body, fall asleep when the moon is high and wake up slowly, with no place to rush off to. I want not to be governed by money or clocks or any of the artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself. I just want to be, boundless and infinite.

Is it Memorial Day yet?

The Holidays are over. The weather is dreary. I could really use a sunny, warm weather getaway. Unfortunately, that is not in the cards for me and my honey at the moment. In the meantime, I will reminisce, while looking through pictures from our 2012 trip to Hawaii.
