Dreaming Since 1997

   Good morning! I hope you're enjoying October as much as I am. Between all the regular, expected fall magic, now we get to put it all to  The Life of a Show Girl's  "The Fate of Ophelia"... chef's kiss, a perfect fall! I am excited for today's post! I am going to do another Pinterest board post! This is where I take some screen shots of one of my (many) boards on Pinterest and we look at it together! This is a way to get to see what's making my creative juices flow, what outfits I'm trying to recreate, and Audrey Hepburn photo is inspiring me. Let's take a look! So you'll see lots of coffee, fashion, Snoopy, and budgeting. I am really into these things right now. I have a brown fur coat that I can't wait to wear this year. I do want to try that apple crisp espresso drink. And I do love the excel spreadsheet for the monthly budget. Since we are in the middle of fall, I do have some fall inspired pins there. The little Snoopy with the leaf ...

   OMG, it's Mean Girls day (October 3rd, iykyk) and Taylor Swift's new album is out! What a day!  I'm still processing the new album, but overall, I really love it! It's creative, catchy, fun, thought provoking- it's a masterpiece. I need to do a post to unpack it all! Even though I am off tomorrow, I do work on Sunday. Being the checklist lover I am, I have made a list of a few things I would like to achieve this weekend besides working (ugh).  1. Watch at least one of my fall/Halloween movies  2. Go shopping for some shoes I need to wear in the wedding later this month 3. Get all of the hot-girl squares I've been working on together for the cozy blanket I'm gifting to my mom  4. Get our Halloween costumes ordered.  5. Try to relax! This past week has been such a blur. I am hoping that having a handful of easy tasks will make the weekend a nice break from chaos from during the week. Today has been a nice start to said weekend.  I will see you ba...

  Hello and welcome back! It is Thankful Thursday , and as you know, I believe that feeling happy begins with feeling thankful. So, let's get happy! 1. I am so thankful for a new month, with new goals. I have recently been contemplating and praying about some new ideas I have. They're very early in development, so much so that they aren't even a thing yet! We will see what happens! 2. Seeing my family in a few weeks! I can't wait to be together again for a joyous occasion! 3. Seeing my friends a couple weeks after that! Two of my very best friends from Danville VA will be staying with me for a few days! I haven't seen them in over a year. I miss them so much and can't wait to see them! 4. The Pentatonix Christmas album coming out in a few weeks! I love all of their holiday albums. Even though it's not even Halloween yet, I am genuinely thankful for this Christmas album coming out. As much as I love fall, I love Christmas just as much... maybe more.  5. Taylo...

  Happy Tuesday! I feel like today is going to be a relaxing day in my house, and I am okay with that. I did go to Bible study this morning at my church. I will be trying to tidy up the house for our company this weekend throughout the day, and I would like to pop into work for a couple hours to help out this evening, but it will be a great, relaxing day. Wanna know why? Because even though I am doing all of this stuff,   I am relaxed.  Circumstances don't have to dictate my life. My experience.  Anyway, enough of the serious talk. Today's post is going to be a list of songs that I believe would be included on the soundtrack to my life, as of today! I'll list 10 songs and the reasons behind each choice! 1. Boondocks by Little Big Town This song makes me think of being from a small town in VA, where you really are in another world. Not that Portsmouth NH is some big city, but compared to where I'm from, it is! I'm proud to be from Whitewood VA, in the heart of Appala...
