Need a moment...or a whole week

I'm filling a bit--scratch that--at my max.

It's the season. We crossed the 2-month mark and I'm feeling overwhelmed with details not wanting to forget or miss anything!

I saw this "Comforts List" here and as I sit here working on a Saturday it was perfect as I was already daydreaming of my own comfort items!

Food
Diet Coke

Pretzels and Hummus

Hamburger
Mexican food

Activities
Going out to eat at a favorite place
Snuggling up with a good book

Bubble Bath

Nap in the middle of the day...with the sunshine streaming in through the window

Movies
Monsters vs. Aliens (no seriously...this is my go-to 'feel better' movie)

Anastasia

10 Things I Hate About You

Reading
SELF Magazine

Whole Living Magazine

Listening
Coldplay

The Band Perry

Carrie Underwood

TV Shows
Friends

Desperate Housewives

Grey's Anatomy

Gossip Girl

However:

--Nick and I officially have a place to LIVE in next year (whoo hoo)

--Saw Soul Surfer yesterday -- actually pretty decent! The beginning acting was a bit sketchy, but overall I enjoyed it!!

--Was rather productive today...despite spilled coffee all over my display table, a busy day and only getting yelled at by one stressed out person. Not too shabby... helps that the sun went away again, sigh!

--Oh! And I'm kind of excited about this: Now, Where Did I Put That?

May-hem

May is...busy... so far!

-- I'm currently knee-deep in invitation assembling...and as most of these projects go - it's more work than I thought!

-- Enjoyed a trip to Leavenworth for women's retreat last weekend (hopefully pictures forthcoming)

-- Work is crazy so I didn't get a chance to post this yesterday...but it cracked me up: "May the 4th...be with you" :)

-- Off to Arizona to celebrate the life of an amazing woman dear to the Anderson family (and me) in a few short hours...so this is short and sweet.

...and in light of the 24/7 news coverage I saw this on my friend Therese's fb and it was just what i was thinking. Don't misunderstand me - my heart aches for those who still feel the gaping hole of loss because of 9-11 and the evil that permeates the world of terrorism, but I'm not entirely sure the all-out celebration at loss of life is the best response:

‎"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an "enemy". Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only Love can do that."
