I'll Try To Rest If You'll Stand Guard

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return." -Moulin Rouge

If I had enough inspiration, I'd start every post with a quote. This one came on my ipod (in the form of one of the songs from the movie) at a most appropriate time. It's something that can be so easy to take for granted, but sometimes it is harder to let yourself be loved. It's sad, and in some ways it can hurt more when someone won't let you love them than when they don't love you back.

Spring is, far and away, my favorite season, followed closely by fall. I think we missed fall this year. Just completely missed. How do I know? I line my jackets & coats up by season and there is an entire section of my closet that just got passed over in my hurry to get from a light cardigan to omg-I-must-have-my-marshmallow-of-a-down-coat-it's-too-cold. And then there are the days that are just teases. We've got cold and rainy and then, bam.. the sun comes out, the temperature goes up, and everything smiles in appreciation. And then dies in the cold the next day.. oh cruel mother nature!!

Neutral colors against other neutral colors have displaced black as my favorite backdrop clothing-wise. And I have no problem mixing just about every neutral with every other neutral. It might be dangerous- much like baking soda and vinegar, you never know if it's going to explode in your face or just kind of bubble up and run down the sides of the volcano (I promise that somehow, that made sense in my head).

I get a kick out of cracked.com... I just find some of their articles especially perceptive, like this one. I so agree. It's more of a 'why people ask/assume the wrong things about people article. It's true that we all seem to like to displace blame. Because we're women, duh that's why...
