pieces.

This weekend, I ate cake for breakfast.  
Not everyday.  Just once.
But nothing says "long weekend!" quite like cake for breakfast.
This weekend I decided that
houses that face east are the best kind of houses.
Because of all the natural light.
This weekend, I went to the mall
for the first time in ages.
I bought a candle called "Leaves."
Because I am a big supporter of ringing in the Autumn season
way too early.
Like, when it's still over 90 degrees outside.
The candle smells like apple cider and cinnamon.
Which, in fact, smell nothing like actual leaves.
But I'm willing to let that go.
This weekend, I also bought $15 lip gloss,
and I'm now realizing that that is a crap load of money
to spend on a teeny tiny tube of shiny, sticky stuff.
Actually, Drew bought it.
But he was a good sport. 
Though not exactly enthusiastic about kissing sticky lips.
This weekend, I saw my best friend.
The one heaven threw into my life with perfect timing.
We laughed and there may have been Ke$ha playing in the car
for the first time in years.
We were not ashamed.
I miss her.
This weekend, I took far too many pictures of my house. 
But only the clean, pretty parts. 
So that you all can think that my house is clean and pretty
all over the place.

This weekend, I watched my husband spray the weeds and mow the lawn.
And I thought to myself, "Hey, look, I have a husband.  And a lawn.
How idyllic."

    1. It's amazing how much natural light affects how you feel at home. Basement apartments usually feel like caves. And agreed about the breakfast foods! Also Costco muffins.

    1. Definitely. It was weird having so much light in our room in the morning, but it really is nice. Good for the soul.

  9. Megan, how cute is your house! I agree with the whole facing east thing! Not only is the natural light pretty, but uplifting! My apartment faces north and can be a bit depressing. I want to see your house!

    1. Thank you!! We love it so much. You should come see it soon! We're thinking of having a Halloween party/open house thing. Or housewarming party. I don't know. Either way, we should set something up.
