is it memorial day? life has been a blur since we got out of school last thursday. we had a busy weekend, started cleaning out some closets, went to 2 parties on saturday night, em left for camp on sunday and we spent the day at the lake. today has just been weird...a monday, but not really?? tonight pb is grilling some shrimp, wil has a friend over to spend the night, and i am reflecting. my morning started with a walk and the first song on my ipod was the dixie chics doing "landslide". boohoo! that song just triggers the tears for me. i listened to the whole song, thinking that i must need to release some stress, and then i changed it to ludacris.

here are some random thoughts for today...

it was a gorgeous day to be at the lake yesterday and wil had the best time on the water. a great day with family and friends.

a new favorite of pb's...he is enjoying it tonight. it has been a hellacious day for him today...i will thoughtfully blog about his dealings as a small business owner when the smoke clears : )

2 of my favorite products. smith's rosebud salve is the best lip balm, i have decided that for sure. and this eye base by trish mcevoy is a staple. it's perfect alone. no eyeshadow needed. just add a little mascara and you are done!

and speaking of mascara, i have tried several this past year and have determined that loreal voluminous is my tried and true drugstore favorite. i used it for years and have found my way back. if you want a more expensive brand, the trish mcevoy high volume is a-mazing. i have a travel size of it and i must say, it is the overall winner. it washes off your lashes in little tubes like the loreal double extend, but not as messy. the double extend freaked me out a bit...seemed like all of my lashes were falling out with the tubes of mascara. here is the lineup left to right...favorite to least favorite.

and another picture of emerson from emersonmade. love this shirt.

and i just like these 2 images. the jars and bowls! the green shutters!

and look out for a new addition to the left hand side of our blog. the category: things that do not make pb happy. have a safe memorial day!
