Okay, lve these lyrics.  My walls need some decorating!

"Coast of Carolina", Jimmy Buffett (Licence to Chill)

Little roadside restaurant we artfully complain 
Groovy tells the waitress that his chicken died in vain 
Most every day goes by according to design 
I live this dream and still it seems I have you on my mind 

From the bottom of my heart 
Off the coast of Carolina 
After one or two false starts 
I believe we found our stride 
And the walls that won't come down 
We can decorate or climb 
Or find some way to get around 
Cause I'm still on your side 
From the bottom of my heart. 

I can't see the future 
But I know it's coming fast 
It's not that hard to wind up knee-deep in the past 
There come alot of Mondays 
Since that phone booth that first night 
Tears and miles and years and smiles 
I wanna get it right. 

These days I get up about the time I used to go to bed 
Living large was once the deal 
Now I watch the stars instead 
They're timeless and predictable 
Unlike most things that I do 
I tell the wind and my old friend 
I'm headed home to you. 

Recently, I went vegan, so unfortunately I can't actually EAT these but I can sure love and appreciate them from afar.  Seriously sinful... cookie dough INSIDE a cupcake!  Amen, godlike!  Sounds a.m.a.z.i.n.g. Get the recipe here: allrecipes.com.  The author stresses to make sure you put in frozen dough so don't skip that step.  Enjoy!

A great quote from the movie American Beauty.  A thought worth keeping somewhere in the front of your mind.

"It's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once and it's too much - My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst. And then I remember to relax - and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain, and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life."

Mathematical shapes are in the forefront.  Geometric shaped jewelry may not be everywhere, but wherever it is, I want to be there.  It feels so clean, fresh and now.

Just having one of those weeks.  No matter how I rationalize and try to apply logic, my emotions won't take it in.  It is okay to feel, to give up control, right?

I suppose I should add a Fab Find...

How about Amos Lee?  I recently discovered this singer/songwriter and am loving his work.

My 72 year old mother is cooler than me.  She's constantly emailing me "stuff" she uncovers from her iPad.  I don't even own an iPad.

Her most recent email (after the one about circus freaks), was an online article from the Huffington Post about the new Kat Von D clothing line. 

Lots of fab, unexpected details and I have to admit I love a lot of it.  A couple pics below.  There was only a slide show that I can't embed, link below:

  

I LOVE this dress! 

Live's "The Dolphin's Cry" played in my headphones today at the gym and it seemed to say so much.  An excerpt from the end...

life is like a shooting star
it don't matter who you are
if you only run for cover, it's just a wast of time
we are lost 'til we are found
this phoenix rises up from the ground
and all these wars are over
