Monday, July 26

You know those weekends that seem to last forever? No? Well, we had one of those weekends.
(Ty is studying for boards, so it probably isn't accurate of me to use "we" in the above sentence.)
No plans, no big projects, no rushing--just relaxation. I was bored and it was fabulous.

Ty and I have been paying for the lowest cable plan possible for the last two years, but have been receiving a better package. That ended a couple of weeks ago and I'm refusing to pay $60 more a month. Yes, I'm being cheap, but in order to be able to put any money into savings on our med school budget I'm refusing to pay for tv channels. :) Instead, we signed up for Netflix.

Things that made my weekend wonderful:

I have become obsessed with this show and can't wait for my next disc to arrive in the mail.

We started watching The Tudors, because it is an instant watch through the internet. Ty & I don't agree on too many shows, but this is one we both enjoy.

I'm loving the fruit and veggie stand by our house.

I want, I want

Have you all seen these gorgeous books from penguin?

Emma discovered them at anthropologie and blogged about them. I instantly fell in love.

In March, we were visiting Ty's grandparents and us girls went shopping (Ty's mom, gma and I). We were at a furniture store and they had these old editions of Reader's Digest books. The covers were so pretty and had fun preppy designs on them. The store had them displayed, but they weren't for sale. :( Ty's grandma had several at home and gave me a couple. Yay!
I found a couple of pictures online to give you an example.
There are a lot of covers out there prettier than these pictured.

The penguin books remind me of the Reader's Digest books. Sense and Sensibility (Penguin Classics)

Little Women is one of my all time favorite books. I read this so many times as a young girl.

I went to Amazon and they are of course a better price on there than Anthro. (Speaking of Anthropologie, I sure wish the store here would hurry up and open!) I pre-ordered Little Women and I can't wait to get it!!

Don't you just want them all??

I love the Emma, Sense & Sensibility and the Great Expectations covers.
Actually, I love them all!

florals, florals, and more florals

I always debate about putting my recent blog designs on this blog. I post them on my design blog, but I want people in my life to see what I have done recently and I know they aren't checking my design blog. I guess I could always print a picture out and mail it to my parents so they could put it on the fridge. You know, that may not be a bad idea. :)

This summer has been all about flowers.
