drama

I'm sure it has something to do with the number of women that work at my place of employment; but this year has been the year of drama. Each day seems to end with a cliffhanger teasing you to come back the next day to see how it will play out.

Unfortunately I've unwittingly gotten myself a starring role this week by suggesting a new place to enjoy our office "snack" table rather than in front of the community bathroom. Now that the new room has been secured; every closet decorator is coming out wanting to add their "magic" to what was supposed to be a "simple, quiet" space. Geesh.

How's the drama in your office?

sleep

How much sleep do you get? I average about 6 hours each night during the week but then make up for it on the weekends and enjoy a much needed 8-9 hours Friday and Saturday night.

lola

Happy 1/2 year old Lola! from benson on Vimeo.

Miss Lola turned 6 months old over the weekend and we just can't believe it. She's a bundle of energy but cautious when it comes to new adventures; she loves to sleep late when Mom does; she would play chase and fetch all day if we were so inclined. Lola has changed our lives and we're kind of loving it.
ps. okay, okay...if you don't watch the whole minute--take a look at 1:09--that face!

new series girl crush

Wow. This season of TV is giving us so many great girls to admire,laugh with, and have huge girl crushes on. Just saw "Prime Suspect" on NBC/Thursdays starring Maria Bello and was blown away. Such a great character, story, and Bello is so badass to watch. Love what she says about her character:
"Jane is incredibly frank; honest to a fault; says it like it is; doesn't speak out of both sides of her mouth and doesn't like people who don't live up to that." I seriously need Jane at my place of employment.

*sorry you have to deal with the commercials..ugh.

weekend!

Who's ready to escape work and have some fun? Thought so. Play hard, eat good, and get a couple of belly rubs.

so happy together

Were you invited to Barbie and Ken's wedding? Lucky for us that photographer Beatrice de Guigne was there and caught all the special moments between that classic couple. See more here.

cleaning out

It must be the change in seasons that makes me want to clean out and reorganize my bedroom closet. Folding up the sleeveless tees, the linen dresses, and adding in sweaters, jackets, and scarves. I love this time of year.
