Man Candy Monday.

Happy Monday morning, friends! How’s your day going so far? I’m excited to be back working at the library for the first time in two weeks. Aren’t routines a beautiful thing?? It’s also THREE DAYS until my birthday and I am SO pumped! Anyway, today’s guy signifies the last of my paying homage to those wonderful actors from Buffy! This guy is charming and quite suave. His smile dazzles. And I’m just anticipating his return to the screen…

“Most of the time, actors respond to the thing that’s so far from who they are. We all want to play the serial killer and the ex-con.”

Have a Fun Weekend

Good day, friends, and happy Friday! How will you be spending the weekend? We’re all pretty wiped out from my mom’s trip to NYC, so we’re looking forward to just hanging out at home and relaxing. Plus, it’s less than ONE WEEK until my birthday and you all know that can only mean one thing — the celebrating has begun! What’s the point of a birthday if you don’t make it a grand affair? I hope you all have a relaxing weekend, and here are my favorite finds from the wonderful Web…

Pretty Summer Fireflies In Japan

Remember the good old days of childhood, when the best thing in the world was chasing fireflies on a balmy summer night? These photos from Japan, created by combining several hundred different frames of film, are sure taking me back on this dreary, rainy Thursday!

What’s your favorite summer memory, friends? xoxo

Man Candy Monday.

Good morning, friends! I hope you’re having a great Monday so far! Janelle and I miss my mom, of course, but I’m excited for her to write her annual NYC blog post when she gets back — look for it soon! Meanwhile, today’s guy is worldly and exotic. He’s refined, with his accent and specs. And, if his character from Buffy was really my high school librarian, I’m pretty sure I would have spent all four years spying on him from the stacks…

ANTHONY STEWART HEAD!!!!!!!!!!

“I have a very open mind. I believe that there’s a spirit world. I believe that there’s a lot of stuff out there that we don’t know about, don’t want to understand, and sometimes we don’t want to understand it.”

Have a Breezy Weekend

Happy Friday, friends! I don’t know about you, but Friday is definitely my favorite day of the week. What are you doing this weekend? My mom is leaving on a jet plane tomorrow for the Big Apple, so I’ll be living the carefree life of a bachelorette for the next few days. Think Domino’s, magazines and Hallmark Channel movies. I mean, why not throw ALL caution to the wind and just be completely decadent?? If not now, when? Or maybe that’s just my coy way of rationalizing my behavior? Either way, I hope you all have a relaxing — and decadent! — weekend, and here are my favorite finds from the wonderful Web…
