This week has been a funny one - it's gone by equally fast and slow. Perhaps it's because I have been in a Photoshop time warp most of the week. I get in the zooooooone when I am working, and there is no ripping my attention away from my comp screen. None. You could probably dangle that j'amazing Chanel purse collection in front of my face and still.....nothing. So, it will be a welcome break to give my eyeballs a rest this weekend (hopefully...it rarely works out like that though). John and I are off to Round Rock tomorrow to celebrate my sweet niece's birthday. How fast she's grown! I was talking to my pal Kristin a bit ago, and I jokingly remarked how funny it was that everyone around us seems to get older, yet we stay the same. Anyone else feel that way? I still see myself as this carefree PYT, when in reality...not so much. I still can't come to the realization that people my age are not only getting married but also having babies, and that it isn't a scandalous piece of gossip! WHEN DID WE BECOME GROWN UPS?! AHHH! Hope you all have a great Friday, and a happy weekend!

Austin is a very bright city....literally. The sun is shining (or was a least was yesterday when I wrote this - it's pouring now! That should teach me a thing or two about scheduling posts a day in advance), the birds are chirping (again, I should use past tense), the houses and shops are painted all colors of the rainbow, and the neon lights of South Congress seem to coordinate perfectly with this town's eccentric and stylish mannerisms. Ever since moving down here, I can't help but shun my previous neutral ways. I think the now-normal levels of vitamin D are responsible for this. ;) Whether you wear your color, decorate with color, or simply eat it (skittles don't count, y'all), living loud with color is something I think we should all pledge to do a bit more. I bet you are all a bit happier after seeing this post, no? Color. It's a bona fide mood booster.
