The Fly Catcher

Good Day and Good Riddance! It's officially October and somehow I'm not convinced that's even possible. 

But more importantly it's Wednesday and on Wednesdays I confess. I also rarely wear pink and today is no exception.

There's plenty of silly things to confess today but after I snuck in three separate open-mouthed selfies into yesterday's good-news post - I want to take this confessions opportunity to poke fun at the selfie pose I can't seem to quit. 

The Fly Catcher (The Open-Mouthed Selfie)
Usage: Frequently

The perfect solution for avoiding the blogger "toothless smile" - this pose has multiple uses and benefits: 

:: Excitement 

:: Surprise 

:: A Carefree spirit

:: Eliminates the squinty-eyes

:: Clearly a great post workout face

:: More opportunity for inappropriate emoji overlays

:: Works well with sunglasses
:: Great if you have no bottom teeth

I'm not sure when I began this pose nor when I plan to quit, but please tell me what other benefits you can think of for the open-mouthed selfie.

Ian is clearly not on board, but you should still link up with Kathy!

Friday Pick-Me-Up

This has been one of the very longest weeks of all time for Dan and I.

We were both slaves to the office over the weekend, several early mornings and late evenings later (besides Monday) and here I am going on only a few short hours of sleep and a pretty long day ahead of me.

Rather than a Week 7 Cohabitation post I'm going to share some things that made me take a step back and smile this week - hopefully it will make your week go down a little better too!

This wonderful latte from my neighborhood coffee shop:

This internet meme (Harlem Shake) that's super silly - especially the Tracktown USA version:

He brought me dinner last night and we ate at the office table. Such a wonderful guy - and I'm sad too, he can't leave because I drove.

This silly bucket of sloths:

This TED Talk about the Power of Introverts

I have a massage tomorrow - hello Physical Therapy!

Thinking of making these yummies via Brooke, these brownies via Marisa... and apparently running a lot to work it all off!

And this amazing human jumbrotron:

I'm wishing you a very happy Friday and hopefully a less hair-splitting one than mine!
