a little update here and a little update there...

happy tuesday everyone! just wanted to do some updates on a couple of things....


first off is the #4 simple goal: waking up and thinking something positive: a little hard at first to start off the morning as i have been more tired because of the nightly pounces from the little rosalita but after a morning shower wake up it has proven to help! mostly the positive thoughts that have been floating through my mind each morning have been souly about the mister and how lucky i am to have him in my life. i get to watch him sleep while i get up and just the thought of him sleeping there and looking soo cute starts my day off with a great bang!  he is my best friend in the entire world and i just love the way he loves me!


spreading the love update: got two things checked off my list! I don't see my neighbors very often so i wrote them a litte note asking them when they were free for a get together and left it on their door step. also wrote my co-worker a thank you and once i get paid will get something cute to put in the card :)
hard to post on a blog but i have been smiling at everyone i come in contact with...i only hope they can pass it on or helps brighten their day!


oh my darling: penpal pal project: this is been sooo much fun! i can't tell you all how exciting it is to get a letter in the mail. Here are some of the ones i have gotten so far. i have been using my type writer which has been really fun but also hard because if you make a typo well there is no such thing as delete...but i like the nostalgic sounds of the keys when typing and i hope the others who have gotten my typed notes so far have enjoyed them.


i had a hard time picking out cute note cards that would work with the type writer so i opted for green paper and found this really cute rubber stamp of poppies that look similar to my tattoos, so i thought it was a perfect fit!

    I love the idea of using a typewriter like this. I've been seeking out some cute stationery too. Some stationery waaaaay overpriced though eh?!

  13. Your card idea only makes me want to make cards for everyone on the block! Okay maybe not block because I am shy but I could start with family right? haha

    Love the fact that you are staying positive since I am trying to do that myself. I will make a little toast "To Being Positive" CHEERS!

  15. Oooh I spy two of my letters there! =] Can't wait to receive a typed letter from you too!
    You and your boyfriend are gorgeous together and I especially like his mutton chops. Is that weird of me to say that?! =]
    (I also love what you said about him sleeping there looking all cute - I'm feel EXACTLY the same way about my boyfriend sleeping)

  17. I love what you did for your neighbor. My husband and I have only lived in our house for two months and every encounter with our neighbors have been so awkward I'm afraid they think we don't like them. This is a great way to spread the love.

    also, cute couples pictures!

  18. @ jenni: i totally feel the same way too! they have been really sweet and i don't want them to think we hate them either! they haven't responded to my note and not sure if they will be it was the thought that counts! try it out and see if it works!
