hooray for friday!

well, it's finally friday - and boy am i stoked about that.  it was a rough week here and i am happy for it to be over and moving on to happier things.  i am super behind in just about everything since there was lots of unexpected family and friends time this week, but that will have to wait - it's FITB friday and my sister-in-law n is here today!  hooray!

now for the blanks first - remember to head over to little things we do to link up and play along.

1.  right now the weather where i live is finally turning to fall!  which means a few days in the 70s, a few in the 50s, then a random one in the 60s.  it's colorado, but it's still beautiful.

2.  the best piece of advice i've ever been given is the worst that can happen is he can say no.   it was when i was showing up at an autograph signing for a professional hockey player and was instead going to ask if i could interview him for our college newspaper.  it's a good philosophy, just sub out the 'he' for whatever it is you are thinking of doing.  the worst that can happen in any given situation is it doesn't work out, so you try something else.  i have used it with moving - if it doesn't work, you move again.  or with a job - if it doesn't work out, then you find another one.  nothing is really permanent in this life.

3.  my most favorite person in all the world is my husband, for so many reasons, but the biggest one is that he always knows the right thing to say to make me laugh or feel better or comfort me.

4.  if i were to have a 'mission statement' for my life it would be [oh i think i've blogged this one before!] 'one love, one blood, one life you've got to do what you should, one life with each other: sisters, brothers.'  it's from the U2 song one and it's my all time favorite song ever.  the lyrics are to die for and that statement helps give my life meaning - that we should all help one another because in the end, we really are just the same.  no one's life is more valued than anyone else's. 

5.  my most favorite item in my closet is probably shoes.

a few of the fall line up!

6.  the best cure for a bad day is happy hour with friends, or a drink at home with pi while watching something that will make me laugh.

7.  today is natalie's arrival day- so i'll see you people after the weekend!
