{the countdown continues…}

You didn’t think I’d let you get through the day without having to hear me share my Where the Wild Things Are obsession, did you? Of course not. I took a look at the movie’s FB page and found the photo above… and made the photo below. Click here to make your own. So freakin’ cool.

{writing on the wall: epicurus}

For those of you who don’t read french, the above translates to:

“Of all the things which wisdom provides to make life entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship” – Epicurus

No clue where I got this photo from. Speak up if you know where it came from!

{about fall…}

If you are currently experiencing cooler temperatures and autumn leaves, I just want you to know:
I’m so freakin’ jealous of you. Can’t stand you right now. Ok not really, but don’t ever complain or so help me heaven I will find you and beat you with this awful heat and rain from the so-called “sunshine state.”

That’s all. Love you!

Woohoo! It’s here! You can now download the “Where The Wild Things Are” Soundtrack. Do it! You know you want to. Is there really a better way to make a day at the office bearable?

I’m counting the days and think I’ll be seeing this one on IMAX. JOY!

Oh, and if you really want to go all out… Opening Ceremony has the perfect thing for you.

Anthropologie is known for being pet friendly, but they upped their pup cool quotient. Through the month of October, Anthropologie will be holding pup themed events {adoptions, food drives, and “yappy-hour” parties}; there’s also a few dog-centric items {like the books above} on their site.
