love/hate monday edition.

love: free licorice any time i want
hate: it's only 1:54

love: making my student laugh uncontrollably just by saying "explosive diarrhea"
hate: explosive diarrhea

love: working with people that really care about their job
hate: people that constantly seek attention with their one-upping antics.

love: looking forward to walking the brut after work.
hate: he's outside today - all by his lonesome.

love: heytell
hate: arkansas

love: anthropologie's monday emails
hate: that we still have 5 more sleeps till saturday.

what do you love/hate this monday?

after my experience as a bride, this photo especially strikes me.  its amazing that
my grandma was able to have a private moment to herself amidst a room full of guests.

taking the wheel on her honeymoon.

pregnant with her 3rd son and looking ridiculously cute.

its 2pm and i'm finally resting on my lunch break.  what a day it has been.  the phone hasn't stopped ringing.  the issues have been weird and difficult to tackle.  working in the business world can feel so disconnecting; every man for himself.  its such a shame. 

i feel so much hope when i see these photos.  my grandparents have had a beautiful life and are still enjoying it together.  currently, they are on a roadtrip to ohio.  on days like today, i'm really thankful that these images can provide such perspective on a bleak friday. tgif

blah.

my grandparents, dad and uncles.

tuesday is the new monday.


hi marissa.

life up here in fresno is good. this is my new perspective. it's a good thing we have a coffee shop on campus. endless supply of milky duds.

oh also, what time is dinner?

and also, i think YOU should 30 for 30.maybe i could 30 for 10. thats less intimidating.


hi sam. what are you wearing?


i think i've worn the same boots/tights combo for 3 weeks now.

how'd your office space turn out?

triple dog dare you to 30 for 30.

sam,

i love that you married matt.

what a pair you two are.

we'll all be friends forever.

[you + matt] [me + jake]

maybe we will be neighbors and share a gate.

the boys will talk about sports.

we'll drink diet rootbeer.

love, marissa

p.s.  we'll do those things even if we aren't neighbors anyway.
:)
