This is the second time this year that garbage on the side of the street was worthy of a pic of the day. The first is one of my fave pics of the year.

So, a couple months ago I would be what you would have called a casual Beyonce fan...but then I caught this special called I Am...Yours that was on Thanksgiving and I am semi-obsessed. I didn't delete it off our dvr and have watched it at least 5 times since. Basically, I love it and love her. Then last Saturday while listening to Beyonce radio on Pandora, I heard an eerily familiar live version of Hello. I rushed over the computer and realized that a cd/dvd exists of the concert! It was the best news of the day and I made sure to go to my local Best Buy that same day to buy it. It now plays on repeat in my car.

This is love y'all.

Jon was home from work on Wednesday and without going into too much personal medical history, found out that cherry juice is really great for what he has...so he called me at work and asked if I would stop and get some on my way home from work.

ummm, anyone who knows me well knows that I HATE anything cherry. So picking this up, bringing it home, housing it in our refrigerator and pouring it into glasses I might use again is seriously grossing me out. If it is any consolation, it doesn't seem like Jon thinks it is tasty either and is merely choking it down for health reasons. I still asked if there could be a designated cherry juice glass. I know. I'm crazy.

Someone I know who reads this (ahem, Meghan), told me that she does not appreciate when there is no story to accompany a picture. Sooooo.....let's see.....Has anyone started watching Dexter yet? You should. It's soooo good.

I am making my big return to the field after 10 years, so I dug my cleats out of storage. This team I am playing on is coed and has very mixed skill levels. It shall be interesting. No matter what though, I am pumped. Here's hoping my knees stay intact :-/

I dug a vest out of our closet that I haven't worn in a few years and found this treat in the pocket! (That's always so much fun, isn't it?) Payton and Riley are two girls I babysat for in college. A few years ago, their mom had another baby, so I went over to see the fam. Payton slipped this note to me during my visit. So sweet.

When Tom went to school here and we would hang out from time to time, I would always pass these greenhouses on the way to his place. I have been meaning to go there all year to take a pic of them at night. They look so cool all illuminated and everything.

I started reading New Moon in the beginning of summer. Why can I not get into it? I still have about 100 pages left and I really want to finish before the movie comes out. Also, why am I sort of on Team Jacob? Maybe because in real life I am more on Team Taylor Lautner than Team R.Patz? I feel like I am on an island on my own on this one...

I got a new Tervis Tumbler to add to my collection. Our local Bed, Bath and Beyond were selling these adorable Bucky Badger tumblers and I just couldn't resist. Haven't heard of a Tervis Tumbler? Well, they are great. Meghan got me my first one - that would be the adorable pineapple on the left - and I have been sold on them ever since. The way they are engineered reduces condensation (no rings on your tables!) and keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. Who doesn't want to keep their ice cold glass of water cold? There are a ton of different designs options and they are also guaranteed for life I think. So, go get yourself a TT already!

I'm not sure I can express the importance of great knives. They make life so much easier.

A few months ago, we got a new laptop. We went with one with a smaller surface area in exchange for more memory. Unfortch, smaller surface area = no 10-key. This was a tough trade for my husband. As a former bank teller, he is a self proclaimed 10-key expert.

Imagine my delight when in line at Marshall's, I found this detachable 10 key. I gave it to him for his bday. He loves it.

There is a hippie pet store in a strip mall near our apt. They park this truck in the parking lot and change the design every 6 months or so. The only common thread is that it always says "No Kill" somewhere on it. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm all about having a cause, but we live in a pretty suburban part of the city, so a graffitied truck that says "No Kill" on it always looks a little out of place. If it were downtown, not at all, but across the street from Talbot's and Men's Wearhouse? A little out of place.

A-ha! So THAT is the answer! ;-)

I had a MAJOR hankering for some PF Changs for a few days, so since Jon was out for the evening, I decided to treat myself to some honey shrimp. yum yum.

These are my first booties as a baby. They are bronzed. That must have been a thing to do in the early 80s because I havent heard many people bronzing their baby's booties these days.

I have no story to accompany this picture, so I am going to take the time to bring something up about anonymous commenters. I get it. You don't want me to know you read this blog. It's cool. But are the anons always the same person? I am curious. So, you anons out there, I challenge you to come up with a screen name to use every time you comment. That way I will sort of have an idea who is commenting...and if you anons are the same person or different people. Ok? Ok!
