It's a Fact...

Contrary to popular belief, sparkly sweaters really

do make girls with miserable colds feel better.

A little bit, at least.

Where Emily Raves About Footwear...

Remember those two pairs of new shoes I mentioned?

*          *          *

Well...

This is a photo of one pair.

*sigh*

*          *          *

We fell in love the first moment we saw each other.

I mean, they may totally not be your thing.

That's your prerogative.

But right now...

I'm pretty much, basically, absolutely in love.

Nothing major.

*          *          *

I guess Elizabeth thinks they're pretty snazzy, too,

since she was the one that wanted to take a picture of them.

I mean, sheesh.

But...being the wonderful big sister I am

I gave in & let her do her thing.

;)

Marilyn...

I'm Thinking About...

The USO

Because...

I'm now officially a proud volunteer. 
And loving every minute of it.

Though, I've never yet had to force donuts down a young soldier.
Maybe we haven't come to that part yet.

*          *          *

Family

Because...

I ♥ them so very much.

You know you have it bad when just thinking about them
makes a happy little ache creep into your throat.

*          *          *

High Heels

Because...

I have two brand new bee-you-ti-ful pairs I can't quit thinking about.

Literally.

*          *          *

The Ramsey Family

Because...

Emma, Johanna, Grace & all the others

 have become so dear to me.

These days, my thoughts & prayers are

with them more often even than usual.

*          *          *

 On the Waterfront

Because...

With faces like these & a love story like that...

it's too drool-worthy to not think about

watching for the 646th time.

*sigh*

Have I mentioned lately that it's my favorite-est film?

*          *          *

Falling in Love

Because...

It's one of those things girls think about.

Just tryin' to keep it real.

(Don't worry, I'll tell you when it happens.)

*          *          *

Sunglasses

 Because...

My two lovely sisters & I went shopping for them today.

And two of us found them. 

You know, that perfect pair.

A New Blog

Because I've been thinking about possibly starting one for months.

I don't know. 

I've loved my time spent writing for songs I sing very much. 

But anymore, it seems tied a bit too

much to everything we once had.

Everything that makes me ache so much I feel I can't breathe.

It's just an idea.

But one I'd love to hear your opinion on...

This Picture

Because...

I like it.
