if you're a criminal, kill it on the floor

this weekend was just what i needed!

love has a mind of its own

i saw a tshirt today that looked like one of those magnets you put on the fridge. you know, the one that says, "today i'm feeling...," and you put a frame around the face that matches your mood.

something i've seen a million times, but in that split second after i saw the shirt, the concept suddenly took on a whole new meaning.

ugh...life.

i love how my friends and i (and the rest of the universe) are constantly trying to figure it out, and yet i think the only conclusion we can really come to is that...it's crazy.

some days i set out to conquer, to be a champion, to show life who's boss.

and some days i just try to make it through, to keep my head above water.

and it never ceases to amaze me just how many feelings can exist within me, one simple girl, on any given day.

today i'm feeling...

free

hopeful

loved

broken

completely freaking scared

alone

lucky

alive

umm...

i'm gonna need a bigger frame. 

it touches my foolish heart

i was struggling to find a photo to put on today's blog, and as i was looking through a ton of photos, boyfriend {on the phone} said, "choose that one." so this is the one.

whew! this day has officially been dubbed "wild wednesday!"

my hump day in summary:

productivity.
woke up at 7:30 to have breakfast, get ready, and turn in a paper.

unexpected butt-kicking.
scary surprise at the gym that conjured up feelings of intimidation, fear, and pain. pretty sure my body is going to be telling me how much it hates me tomorrow.

goals and aspirations.
finally something that i can think about and put my thoughts, effort, and heart into! fingers crossed that everything will work out.

comfort.
i love my job. it makes me happy every day.

fun.
girl talk with my little friends at church.

rest.
currently sitting in the dark {with a little candlelight} in my sweats. watching my best friends wedding.
{for me this movie is like a favorite dish- you know, the one you've eaten a million times, without ever actually growing tired of it. it's what you order when you want something that has no hope of disappointing. i've been craving my best friend's wedding lately}.

"yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm and your cheeks so soft. there is nothing for me, but to love you, and the way you look tonight."

i fell in love with these wicked leggings today. i have a thing for animal prints. unfortunately, i was spending too much moolah and was unable to purchase them at this time. i am definitely aching for them, though.

question: is it better to spend all of your money going out OR all of your money on something to wear when you go out? i have trouble balancing these two; for me, it's pretty much one or the other. ahh...life's dilemmas.

happy saturday night.
