it happens.

Some days I don't feel like brushing my hair.  Sometimes I eat like a bottomless pit.  Sometimes I'd rather sit on the ground than cross my legs on a chair.  Sometimes I just hate the thought of putting on make-up.  Also, I am a huge slob.  


But let's be real -- I am still a girl.  And sometimes I am really good at it. Here is a look back at this week's gloriously girly moments...


1. Does anyone else bawl their eyes out during the first 12 minutes of the movie "UP"? Oh my gosh, it gets me every time.  It is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. This week as I was nanny-ing, the boys picked this lovely film to watch.  And I swear, within 5 minutes there were tears streaming down my face.  I can guarantee that the 3 and 7 year old boys had no way of fathoming what was happening to my emotions.

2. Like most girls, I adore clothes, but have limited funds and therefore I love for myself a fabulous, thrifty bargain.  I made my way over to my local beloved Buffalo Exchange, where to my delight, they were having a $1 SALE!! Oh. My. Gosh. Here are some of my super lucky finds!

Uhhh, pure joy!



3. It's a difficult thing to watch one of my favorites, "Stranger Than Fiction," and not become overwhelmed with the desire for baked goods like the ones Ana Pascal makes. The craving yesterday for Emily and me was out of control.  So what were we compelled to do?  Get over to AJ's as fast as possible and order ourselves a delicious red velvet cake. Mmmmm...
