Tuesday Tune

1)  I can't get this song out of my head (not complaining).
2)  He's so hot.

Fall is Here

"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree."

[Emily Bronte]

Reunited

It's that time of year again.... fall television premieres!  Our friends are back:  Mitch and Cam, Michael Scott, Dwight Schrute, Liz Lemon, Abed, Senor Chang, and good ol' Phil!

You're Late, You're Late...

...For a very important date!

I've always interpreted being late as being disrespectful to the person you've made plans with.  I always say "my time isn't less important than anyone else's!" yet when someone makes me wait I feel as if they believe that statement. 

It's true - EVERYONE is busy, everyone has places to be, people to see, and things to do.  The key is staying organizing and making priorities.

Being late (even if it's not to a very important date) frustrates your friends!  I try not to cancel or postpone my plans with friends unless I feel I have a valid reason.  But if I'm left waiting... and waiting... and waiting... it's just not fair!  I really appreciate the article Do You Have a Punctuality Disorder? by Max Strom via Whole Living Daily. 

What he says is true:  chronically running late causes stress, and sometimes distress to others and is a process of habitually creating chaos and self-induced anxiety.

So check your watch, plan ahead, and chances are you won't be late for your very important date!

We're Going To... India!

India has been calling my name and I've been listening.  Someday I'll visit.... but today I'll dream.  The Killa Bhawan and K.B. Lodge hotel in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan is just my style!  Feast your eyes on the gorgeous, exotic, and inviting digs.  

Tuesday Tune

I can't help but smile when I hear this song:


George Harrison - What is Life

Daily Thought

"The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the earth."

Chinese Proverb



Fiesta!

After this CRAZY week I am SO ready for my fabulous Bachelorette weekend in San Francisco!  I can't wait to spend a relaxing day with my friends.  It's just what I need!

But first I'm having a mexican fiesta tonight at our place to kick off the weekend!  Ole!

The photos were taken by me at the ruins of Tulum from our trip to Cancun, Mexico in 7/2008.

We're Going To... Italy!

Today is a perfect day for a jaunt to Italy.  All you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy your stay.


Welcome to L'Albereta in Lombardy, Italy.

Fantastic Treasures

Feast your eyes on these amazing treasures!  I want them all!

All of these treasures were found at Azaara, Rosena Sammi, and Amrita Singh.

Tuesday Tune (World Favorites)

This Tuesday I'd like to highlight my favorite "world" music artists.  I can't remember quite when I started delving into the world music scene but I've found some incredible artists, songs, sounds, and inspiration.  If the music doesn't evoke a feeling of adventure, I toss it.  The world is so big and there are so many amazing songs yet to be discovered!


Faya Tess & Lokua Kanza - Bana (Putumayo Presents Acoustic Africa)



Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra - Punjabi Lullaby (World is India)



Samira Saeid - Aal Eah (Putumayo Presents North African Groove)



Kaissa - Nika Pata Lambo (Putumayo Presents Global Soul)



Bebe - Siempre Me Quedara (Putumayo Presents Latin Lounge)

Smattering of LOVE

I haven't been blogging much about my upcoming wedding... mostly because I feel not everyone finds the nitty gritty of the planning process to be the most interesting topic in the whole world.  However, we are in the home stretch and all of my brainstorming and designing has come to a close.  Today I thought I'd share with you a blog version of my inspiration board that I've been looking at every day since February!  I love everything about it!

 

I am SO excited!
