Random Bits of My Life Lately

Fave Quote: “Why are you trying to fit in, when you were born to stand out?” Ian, What a Girl Wants. I unironically love that movie. Seriously. I mean, Colin Firth in leather pants? YOU CANNOT BEAT THAT.

Fave song: For some reason, this song seems like the perfect baking song to me. It always ends with me dancing around my kitchen and spilling flour everywhere. Good times.

Fave Book: I’m reading The Fine Art of Truth or Dare by Melissa Jensen. It’s got a great teenage girl voice to it, and I’m already addicted.

Fave picture: The sky here has been just gorgeous this spring. I snapped this picture a couple of evenings ago.
How’s your May going? Any fun weekend plans?

  1. I do love that line.
    Reminds me of a line from Practical Magic (the movie) that I always loved, "When are you going to realize that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage!"

    We've had some pretty amazing skies here too.

  2. Who doesn't love Colin Firth in leather pants. Have you seen the movie version of Mama Mia? Check out the end credits. Colin Firth in 70's go-go pants. Now THAT's fun!!

  3. Houston has been beautiful lately! Looking forward to another sun-shiny day today!

    Love the song and you're right, baking would be so much fun to this!

    Colin Firth + Leather pants = Happiness.

  5. That is one beautiful picture. My May is going okay, I need to start commenting more on people's blogs, get into a rhythm, you know? I've missed all my friends.

  6. Roll on May! I'm enjoying a little downtime this weekend. It would be lovely if there were a Mr Firth lurking, but you know, a girl can only dream. Hope you're having a fab weekend! x

  7. Jensen's book is on my wish list.

    That's a charming song.

    It's been raining on and off where I am. :(

  8. Great quote! Colin Firth in leather pants? I must see this movie! Awesome pic, too. I love taking cloud pics.

    Last night I had some wine downtown with some friends. I think that's as exciting as the weekend is going to get for me :)

  10. Yes, Colin Firth. Colin Firth in anything makes me happy. :)

    I love our sky here, too. This is the first place I've lived with a big, open sky. :) I do miss the mountains and the trees, but the sky is a good tradeoff.
