Come celebrate with me

I'm doing my little happy dance! My major A&P exams are over for the time being and my CNA certification test has been accomplished. I am now an official certified nurses assistant! Come celebrate with me!

Thank you for all the well wishes. They helped!

Quiet Hum

I have a few hefty exams this week and Tuesday and I feel jittery at the thought of finishing them all. Successfully, that is. So, please don't mind the quiet hum over here, I will be back soon--probably doing a little happy dance over the fact that I'm done for a spell . If you want to send studious, productive thoughts my way, I would be greatly appreciative!

XOXO,

Duluth

We were up in Duluth all weekend long--made it a three day weekend and skipped out of town on Friday. It was wonderful being by the lake again--its brooding energy is hard to resist. I'm a water person, it draws me in, calms me and rejuvenates me. I was able to enjoy the giggles and burbles on my little niece as well, so it was a very good weekend!

Just a few things to note: there has been a lot of talent flooding the blog sphere lately. Let me draw your attention to Courtney and her amazing html talents, Cindy's crafting wonders and Rachel's delicious baking, no knead style!

Breakfast

If I had my wish, I would invite you to breakfast at my home this morning. We would feast on delectable pastries and drink steaming cups of tea. We would talk of the chilly weather and how beautiful the autumn is, and about the fact that calories consumed with dear friends never count.

Sending you guys love and a Happy Monday!

Friday Favorites

one: fleur de nuit by whiteowl
two: Goldsboro jacket from LittleHouses
three: Cinnamon and sugar pinwheels from blisscandies
four: Tricycle by Pizpireta

Of course these are all favorites of mine--they're items I've hearted over the past few weeks on Etsy--but, I can't tell you how much I love that necklace from whiteowl. I just swoon looking at the picture!
