friday's letters {15}

dear sunshine you make everything so much better.
dear phone call from doctor next time you call i'm letting you go to voicemail. it's never a good thing when they personally call you. so yeah, next time i'm not answering.
dear married life you haven't always been what i envisioned. sometimes things can get boring {for a lack of a better word}. sometimes you throw a curve ball & M & i need each other to REALLY lean on. sometimes things are so great we never want to come down from cloud nine. i say this a lot, but i know i wouldn't be able to handle it all without M. he's the foundation to it all. with him, i know it's all going to be okay.
dear weekend you're my first weekend off since i got my new job. my boss even asked me if i wanted if off so i could spend time with M. i really appreciated that. so i think we are going to the cinema tomorrow night. maybe dinner too?
dear house hunting we've put you on hold for the moment. there's other things in the works that i'm more excited for!

according to my nearest & dearest friend, weather.com, things are going to be lovely here in georgia. hope it's the same for all of you.

happy friday friends!!!

asians can have freckles too

i've been having this constant headache & no matter the amount of caffeine i pump in me or number of pills i take it won't go away. i'm convinced it's the weather. everyday it's different -- by A LOT. yesterday was almost 60 degrees & now there's another winter storm? highs only reaching 40? what's going on weather.com? i shouldn't be complaining though. i've been aching for snow this year & many of y'all are wishing it would end & never come again. us southerns have it easy. that is until the summer months & things get pretty nasty down here -- heat, sweat, droughts, & the humidity. but at least the sun will be around & i can finally have a tan. ^^^without the proper exposure to vitamin D i become as pale as a vampire^^^. but sometimes i like it, because without makeup, you can notice freckles on my cheeks & nose. yes, i'm asian but my momma isn't.

half way to the weekend!!!

awkward moments

picture has nothing to do with the post. it's just weird which sometimes can mean awkward.

for instance, yesterday i'm in the shower {this should be good} mentally writing the grocery list -- eggs, milk, bread, creamer, RAVORS {always needing those} & i hear the girls barking. that's usually a warning sign. see we live on a beautiful property. surrounded by woods & a lovely lake. we have no neighbors, which sounds a little creepy but really nice actually. you can't see the road from the house, that's how far back the driveway goes. so with that being said, we don't see many passerby-er's.

well i hear the girls barking like mad. i'm immediately trying to remember if the front door's locked because, like i said, we don't have to worry about people. then i'm telling myself {literally talking out loud} that M decided to take a sick day {another story}. well the girls are still barking -- getting louder too. so i panic. get out of the shower. wrap up in a towel & head to the front door...

phew! it's only the UPS man. well then i panic again. do i answer the door naked? yes, i did. super awkward moment got more awkward when he stared at me & said "oh gosh! i'm so sorry! you don't look like philip stewart." i assured him i was not mr. stewart while he stared at his feet then ran away.

i laughed to myself & thought "i should tweet about this." {cause that's everyone's initial thought after something awkward these days} i finished my shower & headed to the grocery store.

no longer thinking about UPS guy, i'm walking into the store with my list in hand when i notice the UPS truck parked out front. i laugh a little about this morning & then BAM! there he is! he steps into his truck when we make eye contact. he had his mouth open & i think i blushed a little. i mean what are the chances?! that's when i thought "i need to blog about this."

let's share our awkward moments with each other. is there a link-up for that? if not, there should be. i'd have something to write about every week ;)

you're familiar with it, i'm sure.

you know those days where you just want to lay in bed all day, 

pop in a good tear jerker, 

& probably/most likely eat all the junk in the pantry?

i'm counting on tomorrow being that day. 

p.s. - i'm looking for an instagram nut {like myself} 

to team up with me on a little something bouncing around in my head. 

don't be afraid to email me if you'd like to work together on a little project.

fridays letters {14}

dear beanie that i found in M's underwear draw. you & your two-tone self will never leave my head. it's where you belong. forever & ever & ever.
dear march it's hard to believe you are here already. next time i turn around it's going to be easter & then spring break. saaay whhaaat?
dear new haircut you've changed my life. showering now takes seconds. but the best part is you take maybe 3 minutes to dry with a blow dryer. i was out the door today in 15 minutes. that's showered, dry, makeup-ed & dressed. i repeat myself -- 15 minutes!
dear jennifer lawrence i decided we need to be bff's. you can contact me anytime.
dear M today marks eight months of this new lifestyle called marriage. feels like yesterday i was walking down that isle to be yours forever. & now here we are, on this journey to forever. i'm proud to be married to you. you bring out a better me & things wouldn't be right without you. i love you more today than i ever have. xoxo

happy friday friends!!!
