It's been such a busy week but I wanted to share a few things that make me happy!
Convincing hotel workers to jump on the beds,
little brothers that double as soft pillows when you fall,
My mom's red hair and rainbow suspenders,
practicing my Marilyn Monroe,
this happy pup,
brand new paper just waiting to get cut up,
chocolate, chocolate, chocolate,
and scrabble tables!
Oh, such wonderful, life-affirming, happy things! Your blog is such a continual source of inspiration and joy for me. Have a wonderful evening!
ReplyDeletethis all are awesome i love your style!! can i ask what camera did you use?
ReplyDeletethnaks!!
I love it Katie!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the "CAREFUL W/ CAPITAL LETTERS".
ReplyDeleteHOPE YOU REMEMBERED TO STAY AWAY FROM THEM AFTER THE PROFESSOR TOLD YOU!
@San-These photos were shot with all different cameras but right now I shoot with a Canon 5d Mark II !
ReplyDeleteOh I love the capital letters warning....and the whole note is in capital letters. Made me giggle!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even realize that! Hilarious!!
ReplyDeleteWow love your Marilyn Monroe style.

Wonderful photos!! Love the peek-a-moo ;-)
ReplyDeleteHey! I think essays could use a few more smiley faces! ;-) And so could the rest of the world.
ReplyDeleteDid you catch any leprechauns today?
for me the best photographer are you!!
ReplyDeletelove love love
I'm so glad your professor's notes give you good memories. I'm an English prof. and I always feel like I'm being so mean correcting people, but that's my job, so I do it anyway!
ReplyDeleteEven though they are not allowed, I think smiley faces would be nice in a paper!
No smiley faces in essays! What a crack-up! I hope he was smiling when he wrote that.
ReplyDeletehaha me too! It's such a funny thing to have to write =)
ReplyDeletethose suspenders are to die for!
ReplyDeleteI ALSO THINK YOUR CAT IS SO VERY VERY CUTE! MAKES ME :) EVERY TIME I SEE HIM!

ReplyDeleteoh no...
ReplyDeleteI had those suspenders, too.... and yes, with a 22 year old, I'm old enough to be your mother :)
I love these. They all make me happy as well. :]
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, and your mom's suspenders and red hair remind me of these funny superhero pictures of me.
ReplyDeletethere is nothing like a happy pup! nothing!
ReplyDeleteQWhat a lovely post and great pic of your mom, i think you really take after her with your love of rainbow colours!

Bad teacher. If I get smiley faces and art on the papers I grade it UPS the grade...:P
ReplyDeleteHi Katie! My son (he's 10) and I love your blog and your wonderful spirit. Thanks for spreading your sunshine beyond New York!
ReplyDeleteMy son was inspired by the notes you left all over the airport, so he made some up (with sweet messages like "You are Loved") and left them all over the neighborhood. My 87 year old neighbor found one and she was so touched she asked my son if she could give him a hug. What a powerful message you have!
Peek a Moo! Now that picture is my cellphone wallpaper, lol. he's just too adorable, and I love the color <3
ReplyDeleteand whistle necklace! Imma look for one now! lol xD

ReplyDeleteI love this post! I've had several warnings not to use smiley faces in my essays, but every time I got a new teacher, I'd do it again, just to see if I'd find one who'd allow me. I just can't resist smiley faces!
ReplyDeleteYour blog brings me such joy! Thank you. :)
