Wow. Sorry I didn't post yesterday, you guys. I was so, so, so sick. Jamie got a stomach bug on Monday (we believe from daycare, although Ez has yet to get it KNOCK ON WOOD) and then I came down with it on Tuesday. Triple digit fevers sucked, but I did manage to drop seven pounds overnight. Yeah. It was that bad.So this was my view yesterday. The bed. It's all I've got.Today I am up and about and back at my desk, working furiously to catch up on the work time I lost yesterday. And what am I most grateful for today? Popcicles. Delicious, refreshing popcicles.
Friday wedding! Yup, this is what I was up to today, and kids, nothing wears me out like a wedding. NOTHING. So I'm off to bed. Congrats to Emily and Nathan up there! Now I'mma go get some sleep.
I don't know how things look around your neighborhood, but around mine, everything is blooming and open and lovely. I pass by a million of these on my walks with Magda each day, and they just keep getting bigger and bigger.For your internet share of the day, 
Today I got to have coffee with my amazing buddy Leah. We decided to meet up early (8:30) so that we could get on with our days afterward. We talked and talked and talked and talked -- since we'd seen each other last, there have been several vacations, family health issues and home renovations. And then I looked at the clock and it was ELEVEN. Yeah. So we had to skeedaddle outta there and get back to work and such. But such a wonderful start to the day.For your internet share, I want to eat 
Lovely, eh? I spotted this girl the other night in Northeast Minneapolis. Even I, who rides a bike only once or twice a summer, am quite infatuated by this beauty.For your internet share of the day, 
How fun is this little one? This was one of my outtakes from earlier in the week (at the toothbrush shoot). I just couldn't forget about this wink, so I thought I would share it.It's Friday! I have a date tonight! And fun weekend plans! And I've gotten 7-8 hours of continuous sleep each night this week! So, in general, life is great right now.For your internet share of the day, 
Welcome to one of my very favorite spots in town. This morning, I met with a former colleague to talk about life as a freelancer as I sipped on an amazing cafe au lait. Also? Next door is an amazing, teeny tiny black building with lime green doors that I fantasize about someday moving Shuttersmack HQ into.Don't get your hopes up. It is pure fantasy... but the space is the right size, it has a wall of windows for natural light... and it's right next door to my favorite coffee spot. Should I win the lottery, I will not only buy up all the light fixtures I showed you yesterday, but I might move in next door to Bull Run. These are my dreams.For your internet shares today, 
I got out for my walk with Magda today (and Mere joined me! Fantastic!) and the air was THICK. The humidity here the last few weeks is rivaling that of Miami -- which is no good at all. But then, once we were inside, and I was back at my desk working, I heard it. The thrumming of heavy rain on the roof. A quick look out the window confirmed sheets and sheets of rain pouring down. Oh, how I love these midday storms.For your internet share of the day, I'm sending you over to
