Friday Lovin'.

:: Lovin' that I've proclaimed today to be "Pajama Day." (Probably not going to admit how many self-proclaimed pajama & sweat days there were in my home this week.) I'll also be sporting the makeup-less, unbrushed hair, just out of bed look. I'm hoping to start a new trend.

:: Lovin' our new G12. I pulled it out of the box yesterday. This will be our vacation camera; much more portable for hikes and amusement parks. Can't wait to put it to work!

:: Lovin' Christina's new blog. She is one of my best and most inspiring friends. I always come away from time together with a new conviction to be a better person. Her new blog is all about "Beeing" better, a very appropriate topic for her to write about. Working towards your best self. It is a must-read already; she is amazing. (I designed the blog, by the way...)

:: Lovin' that I've been asked to speak at a local University (BYU) about my life as a graphic designer. I'll be speaking about logo, web and print layout design. I'm not sure why I can teach at something like the Art Weekend without fear, but get me in front of a college crowd and I start trembling. 11 more days to prepare....I can do this!

:: Lovin' my job. Finishing up designing a few logo orders and May's edition of CARDS magazine this weekend. It's going to be a busy one and my postings may be sparse over the next few days.

:: Lovin' that both my daughter and husband have the day off on Monday. Trying to think of something extra-fun to do with the fam on this rare occasion. Happy President's Day!!

What are you lovin' today?

Friday Lovin'.

 :: Lovin' February. Hearts. Pink. Love notes. I've received no less than 12 valentines already from my daughter. I love any holiday that encourages the eating of chocolate; even if I won't be eating any this year. (It has been 32 days since I've eaten sugar...am DYING for something sweet.)

:: Lovin' that my husband couldn't stop talking to me last night. I kept nodding off when he'd bring up another "Remember when..." He was reminiscing about our dating & early marriage for 2 hours. It was cute. I love being married to a sentimental guy.

:: Lovin' my new fleece electric blanket. A gift from my husband. I haven't been sleeping well because of the cold. My husband told me I was keeping him awake saying "I'm so cold" in my sleep. It was a lovely, welcome gift.

:: Lovin' nude nails. Light pink and glossy. I'm all about Zoya's nail polish lately and the barely there look. (Current favs? Erika, Dovey and Mia. 2-3 coats for maximum opacity. And by the way...the picture above is much closer to the true color than what they show on the Zoya website.)

:: Lovin' my neighbors. So sweet and supportive. I had multiple friends stop in unexpectedly to see how we were doing while we were sick. We had meals, popsicles, medication and balloons all dropped off. Errands were run. My mother's best friend, Elaine, delivered a giant care package to the kiddos full of toys and treats. We are feeling very loved and fortunate to live where we do.

:: Lovin' that my kiddos, though feeling better, are still in a cuddly mood.

:: Lovin' Kelly Purkey's window decor idea. Am thinking about blog-lifting it this weekend.

:: Lovin' my new cookbook. I'm not vegan, nor do I plan to be, but the recipe book helps me to avoid the foods I'm allergic to. (wheat, eggs and milk.)

:: Lovin' new-to-me books. Plugging away at my Book Challenge.  (Read "The Giver" for the first time yesterday and can't stop thinking about it.)

:: Lovin' my talking baby. He says "Wow!" as he points to this and that. Says "bye-bye" and waves to his school-bound sister every morning. He gives open mouth kisses while saying "Mmmah!" That boy! He is a joy.

:: Lovin' that we have no plans this weekend. Our Idaho road trip to see Hil&Co was canceled due to illness. And, because of the daunting weather and temperatures up there, we aren't too sad. March sounds like a much nicer time to visit.

:: Lovin' the Canon G12. Yes-sir-ee, it's true: I'm a point and shoot owner again. Excited to have this as a side-kick to my well-loved Rebel XSi. Lugging an SLR around our family vacay just doesn't sound fun. I'll tell you all about the upcoming trip later. We are very excited. Very.

:: Lovin' all the twine lovin'! If you haven't entered already, tomorrow is your last chance.
