It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on Tumblr. On anything that really involves a time commitment really. Part of the problem is my phone also acts as a work phone so most of the time, Tumblr is logged in as work and I don’t want to go through the hassle of signing out and in. But the other part is that I don’t have the patience or, more accurately, headspace.

When your job is wrapped up in social media, there’s a part of you that just doesn’t want to touch it when you get home. For my husband, he certainly doesn’t want me on my phone all the time so I try to be fair and play nice. So things like Tumblr have suffered quite a bit. And I really love Tumblr (especially since we’re doing so much fun things with it at work). 

What I’m really trying to get at through the small amount of complaining is that I’ll try better when it comes to Tumblr because I want to post. I mean, I REALLY want to post. I just have to work at it.

The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.
Kurt Vonnegut

It’s you I like,
It’s not the things you wear,
It’s not the way you do your hair—
But it’s you I like.
The way you are right now,
The way down deep inside you—
Not the things that hide you,
Not your toys—
They’re just beside you.

But it’s you I like—
Every part of you,
Your skin, your eyes, your feelings
Whether old or new.
I hope that you’ll remember
Even when you’re feeling blue
That it’s you I like,
It’s you yourself,
It’s you, it’s you I like.

This song was written by Fred Rogers and Billy and I used it as a wedding reading. I love it so much.

As I go through Pinterest and help my co-worker plan her wedding, I’m reminded of my own wedding and the small touches that we did to really make it ours.

I’ve had this disc for years. It’s helpful for getting the ‘Sanford & Son’ theme song stuck in my head. (Taken with instagram)

I’ll miss you Steve.

I’ll miss you Steve.

“Wuv, tru wuv, will fowow you foweva, so tweasure your wuv.”

It’s hard to believe, but my wedding is coming up fast. 

31 DAYS. That’s a January right there. Can I get a birthday gift on the 9th? :)

But in all seriousness, I feel like there’s still so much to contend with and do that I might not get it done in time. Maybe I will. Maybe I won’t. All I know is, I can’t let this month stress me out. I don’t need no stinkin’ stress. :)

I remember watching ‘Stand By Me’ for the first time when I was younger…maybe about 4 or 5. As I watched it more and more over the years, I had a mega crush on Wil Wheaton, Kiefer Sutherland scared me (but that was probably residual of ‘The Lost Boys’) and the scene with the body stunned me each time. I also had the soundtrack on cassette and listened to it all the time—so much so, I wore it out. I love this movie.
