Quote of the week

I get quoteland.com's quote of the week in my inbox every Monday. Here's what I got this morning: 

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you... while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

                                                                       -John Muir

What an awesome quote for a gorgeous Monday. This is the view I was thinking of when I read the email: 

I took this photo at a mountain top wedding in Breckenridge last September. 

I have so much love for fall I don't even know what to do with myself. 

Countdown until I can start my Halloween countdown: 9 days 

The Evolution of Hair, as told by iPhoto

I was looking at photos the other day while I was waiting for a source to call me back and I realized something: Ryan and I have had an interesting hair history in the course of our relationship.

He had short hair, I had medium hair. We both had medium hair. We both had long. He had long, I had short. Now we both have short.

Miles to go before I sleep

The woods are lovely, dark and deep 

But I have promises to keep, 

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep. 

Robert Frost, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Replace "woods" with "my bed" and "promises to keep" with "sources to call" and that accurately describes my life. 

I took this picture outside a Chateaux in France. Talk about a long driveway. 

DMB

I'm studying with friends right now and "Crash Into Me" by Dave Matthew Band just came on Pandora and it reminded me of getting ready for grade school.

While my brother and I ate our waffles and sipped our coffee (yes, we were coffee drinking children) my dad always played music. We listened to Dave, the B-52s, Indigo Girls and U2.

It was nice to slow down a bit in the midst of the morning rush. What a good memory.

Sorry this is short. You have no idea how many blog posts I've started this week and couldn't finish. I promise my writing talent isn't going to waste. Check it, friends.

Skirting the issue

I'm rocking business casual five days a week and I really want a skirt like this.

$49.99 select colors

They don't have it in my size, so I'm trying to find something similar. This would be great for the spring, summer and fall. This would be great with a solid or patterned shirt and wedges for warm weather and boots and a cardigan for the fall. I'm looking for one in black and one in blue because those colors would match so many things. They would be perfect to wear to the news room and to class. It's a polished way to look nice without sacrificing comfort. It would be my "go to" on long days. 

Do you have a "go to?" 

Happy belated dog day

Yesterday was National Dog Day, but I didn't have time to blog. I've posted pictures of my pup before, but he's so cute, I assumed you wouldn't mind seeing him again.

Everyone, this is Buster. We got him two days before Christmas when I was in third grade.

Goodbye, Summer

File under: Things I'd rather be doing on the last night of summer. 

I wish I could promise I'll be better about blogging this semester than I was this summer, but I cannot. This summer was a busy one and this semester is sure to be even busier. A person has to have priorities and I couldn't make this a priority. That being said, I do love blogging and I will try my best to keep this updated. I appreciate everyone who reads this and love reading your comments. Thank you! 

Peace, Love, Sunsets,
