happy things to end the week with.

getting a package from my bestie Marisa always warrants a big Lechuga smile. In fact, i'll even post this terrible photo of me straight from my pilates class because i was so excited when the box welcomed me home. (i'll share the contents soon!) i'm also OVERJOYED because M decided to keep on blogging at her always inspiring corner of the internet ...or so i feel. Please thank her for me? even though i knew our friendship would still be like Grey & Yang, i'm so happy she is still going to blog! i love you M and thank-you for making my day (as you always do!) 

twinkie's latest furry addition! i just want to cuddle him!!! isn't he adorable? he's in the puppy chewing phase. This is him on her lap on the way to our momma's to watch Idol.

if only i wasn't trying desperately to save money, i would get this M cookie jar from Claire's sister Kate's etsy shop Very Fine House {where i've bought beautiful vintage finds before} but! she is having a sale so perhaps it's a sign i do in fact need it. *DETAILS ON THE FABULOUS SALE on Claire's Bicoastally. 

don't you love when you read a great book? especially when it's one given to you by a dear friend who was touched by it. Katyha sent me this book for my birthday and i loved it! never have i been so in love with a fictional character as i was with Michael Hosea (who i totally pictured as the Brawny guy!) i wish they'd make a movie out of this beautiful book that i related to so well. What made the book even better is Katyha had put notes on her favorite parts.  i also got to hear her aussie accent yesterday! <3 love love love.

and please do not laugh at this, but when your favorite childhood hero holds a contest on his facebook page to win a shirt of his by posting a photo of you in one of his shirts... well how can you not oblige? i grabbed my latest Bret the Hitman Hart sweatshirt and vogued. Alas... i didn't win. ha! some half naked girl won. how could my hoodie self compete? 

my husband made me blackbean/jalapeno veggie burgers for dinner and it might have been the best thing i've had all week! maybe me not having to cook had a lot to do with it, but it was bliss! i giggled when i saw the above sign -- i want to get a print and frame it in our kitchen. 

i'm feeling pretty pitiful because after two weeks of waiting for my car to be fixed (it was at the mechanics the whole time) i think there's still something wrong with it. we just picked it up yesterday and i might just cry if it's going to cost us more. *UPDATE: took it back to the mechanic and he's promised to have it fixed by tomorrow morning! fingers crossed.

i didn't want to be a pity party on a friday though, so i hope i at least made you laugh with the not so flattering photos of me! and tonight calls for cheese stuffed crust pizza with extra sauce. yum!


i hope you lovies had a better friday than me xoxo
