last night, while i was on a hunt through my mom's filing system,
in search of some documents, i came across this photo of my dad.


photo taken in Guinea-Bissau, circa 1971.

i warned my parents i was swiping it;
it has been framed and now hangs in my living room. =]


and here's what i wore to work today...
my shoes received a lot of attention, as per usual.
i don't see the big deal. they're red... so what? lol.




happy almost friday!

return of music monday?

maybe, maybe not. lol. if you haven't figured it out yet, i'm horrible at sticking to something; however, i have been stuck on Adele's music since the first time i heard chasing pavements off of her 1st album, 19. and i actually got that song as a free download from starbucks about 2 years ago? Adele continues to amaze me with her songs. her latest album 21 is GREAT. i received it as a birthday gift (thanks julie!).
so if you're slightly interested, but don't know that you actually want to spend money to figure out whether or not you're an Adele fan, stop by starbucks this week and pick up a "pick of the week" card, for a free download.

happy listening.

to write love on her arm:


30 is knocking at my door... eeeekk! i'm trying not to get down about the fact that this is my last birthday in my 20's. scary stuff, huh? but i'm glad i've been blessed with 28 amazing years, and i look forward to many, many more. so bring it 29, i want these 20's to go out with style... and i look forward to my 30's; but there's another year, before i have to think about that.

i guess the more birthdays you have, the longer you live, right? ;) to celebrate i'm throwing a mustache party, saturday night. i'm excited! ^_^

lots to do in order to prepare for my Stache Bash!! =]

hugs. <3

happy birthday mano!
