today is a list sort of day

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

not too much to report over the past few days
texas weather has been unpredictable–one day it’s cold and rainy, the next beautiful sunshine
today is a beautiful sunshine sort of day
i’ve actually been sticking to an exercise routine, yay for being more active
i’m desperately clinging to the promise of this summer, the hope clarity and coming to terms with things
plus some fun + work along the way
for a small dog, harper has some of the worst pup toots ever
but i still love him.

march madness

the month of March always seems to refresh me.  by the time March first rolls around, i’ve turned a year older, made it {mostly} through the Texas winter and have almost survived half of the current semester.
when i sit down and think about this March in particular, i have a lot of things to look forward to.  and in the spirit of trying to spread positivity through out my life, i made a little list (because really, lists are my thing).
march anticipations 
prime holga experimentation weather
spring break
road trips during said spring break
time to spend with my sister
time to read
time to explore Austin
south by southwest {check out what we’re doing, very cool stuff}
getting a little color on my cheeks
spring rain
spring flowers
training harper for the weenie dog races
March is going to be great, i can just feel it

happy birthday to me
hey, a girl can dream, right?

a letter of sorts.

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

dear universe,
as i will be turning 23 before this month is over, i vow to live and love with all my heart.
this includes, but is not limited to:
loving my body
playing fetch with harper
running {i’m serious about that whole marathon thing}
sleep more
smile more
don’t get frustrated with travis for silly, little things
be okay with messes
be okay with grieving
read for fun
accept the fact that i am a compulsive list maker
sincerely yours,
carly

sometimes you just need some pretty little flowers,
or an inspirational quote to get you through the day.

…especially when the quote is by one of your most favorite authors, ever.
