pretty lil pictures, jon dunham, spanky and the gang

today has been a day. that is the only real way to describe it. it has not been anything spectacular, but it has left me feeling contented and unhurried. my boyfriend re-introduced me to an amazing comedian, i had my i-tunes set to shuffle and a song by spanky and the gang came on and made me smile, i had a fresh salad for dinner (cilantro and chives included!), and am now about to watch the movie confessions of a shopaholic with my wonderful family. ah. a lovely day. (plus, the cubs are actually playing it close with the phillies tonight instead of getting themselves run over again).

as for the beginning of that title up at the top of this blog...i just rather like pictures....and the phrase "pretty little pictures" cannot be said without a smile (:

so, as i finish up this short and sweet post, and begin drinking my peppermint tea, eating homemade popcorn, and watching a movie (which may or may not be a good film but should still be entertaining) with my wonderful family, i leave you with this:

"Your sorrow shall be turned into joy."--John 16:20

"The brave don't live forever, but the cautious don't live at all."--The Princess Diaries

"Now we should live when the pulse of life is strong. Life is a tenuous thing...fragile, fleeting. Don't wait for tomorrow. Be here now!"

some of my favorite quotes, those are! hope you enjoy them as well!

and of course, to finish up, some pretty lil pictures!
