As you read this I’ll be on my way to our state capital for a potential opportunity. I’m terribly nervous already and by the time I arrive, I’ll probably be sweating profusely. I’ll be rehearsing in the car and I’ll definitely appear maniacal to my fellow drivers. This is how it always goes. I worry too much. Everything will be fine. It’s just an amazing opportunity and I really want to do well.

Here’s some things that have been distracting me this week:

10. 

This F. Scott Fitzgerald quote is particularly relevant today. Found on Piccsy.

9. Feather Love Photography’s shoot for Rue Magazine with pool-side recipes!

8.

Before there was Photoshop. 20 classic pin-up girls before and after on Buzzfeed.

7. 

HOMEMADE BAILEY’S IRISH CREME! via The Cupcake Project. I had no idea!

6. Stop the Snobbery! Why you’re wrong about community colleges and don’t even know it. Love this article seen via In the Library with the Lead Pipe. Although my experience as a librarian at a community college hasn’t been quite so rosy, I can relate to the sentiment of this article.

5. 

This lovely veil is by Twigs and Honey on Etsy. I’ve been trying to decide if I’m a veil girl or if I should go with just a hair piece for the wedding. Thoughts?

4. I know it is another coffee-related recipe, but damn, I love the stuff! Cappuccino Pops!

3. 

Modcloth’s Nine to Fine Stylebook is super cute. It makes me wish I put more thought into my work clothes!

2. I don’t need to buy ANYTHING right now, but these MiH Jeans would look awesome on me. Have I tried them on? No. But I just know it!

1. 

And whenever I’m nervous or sad, I look funny videos of kittens and Damn You Auto Correct. It never fails to make me feel better. The top 25 is gold!

Wish me luck!

love,
