THE THEATER

The weekend was so great {really fun}. Wedding festivities + college friends + Book of Mormon {amazing} + the Saenger Theater + the Joy Theater. All in all, bomb.

The Book of Mormon was sincerely funny, I'm not super into funny and don't even think most comedy is funny {gasp, I know}, BUT this show made me laugh. The Saenger looked beautiful, they did such a great job renovating it. Our seats were good, really good weekend event.

After, we got to hop across the street + check out the Joy Theater {which I didn't even know was open yet, BUT it is}. That space is legit too + sounds awesome. We were like 12 year olds in an empty gym. It's always fun to see those spaces with no people in them {gives you a whole different perspective}. So go check out the Joy Theater, they have good stuff going on.

Happy Monday!

OCTOBER MOON

I've been inspired by the moon lately. Since it is getting dark earlier now, the moon comes out to play in the sky in the early evening {while I'm out running or doing errands}. It's always captures my attention {+ I gaze at it for about 2.8 seconds in awe}. Here is the moon calendar for October 2013 {no full moon on Halloween, boooo}{the next full moon to fall on Halloween night will be on a Saturday in 2020, 7 more years, I guess I'll wait}. 

This weekend will be full of celebratory events. Congrats ahead of time to Megan + David on their upcoming nuptials! Also, Book of Mormon is in full swing at the Saenger Theater this weekend. The LSU Tigers will have Homecoming and play Furman University, Geaux Tigers! The Saints will play the Buffalo Bills Sunday, Who Dat! TGIF, Happy Weekend!

MORNING

Whenever you have a good morning, your day is wonderful {it makes a world of difference}. The ideas flow + everything just works {you glide through the day}. This week has been full of good mornings {hopefully I didn't just jinx myself}. Maybe it's more sleep, maybe it's running, maybe it's the fennel soup {who knows}, but whatever it is, it works. So good morning, have an excellent day.

CROSS BONES + COFFEE

I picked this up at Harry & David on the way home from the beach the other week. Two of my favorite things in one {skulls + coffee}. It also gives a little Halloween spirit to my work desk {love hearing the different comments about it, as I carry it around in the mornings}. It even made it into the conference room with me one afternoon. Halloween is almost a week away {yay}. Happy Hump Day!

{P.S. Harry & David have the best pears ever, try some if you are ever there, or order online}.

THOUGHTFUL LIGHT

Monday I took a breather {just to collect my thoughts}. This morning as I was sitting in Starbucks {yes, I'm addicted, + yes my bank account hates me for this} waiting for the bus, I looked down + saw this beautiful stream of sunlight stretched out on the floor. It peaked through the chair + table legs reaching to find an end, a stopping point. The way the cement floor absorbed the color was a perfect shade of umber {warm umber to be exact}. It was calming + reminded me that the cold is coming + gave me that feeling when the sun hits you on a cold day {it's the best feeling}. Happy Tuesday + thank you sunlight for this beautiful moment.

TGIF

All I have to say today is TGIF {thank the Lord}. I finally will have some time to let my brain relax {yay}. The agenda will consist of drinks with friends + painting + an engagement party {congrats Sarah + Andy} + last but not least the LSU game {geaux Tigers}! So TGIF, happy weekend!

SIMPLICITY

Every once in awhile I catch myself running around like a bat out of hell, my mind racing, trying to do {+ think of} a million things at once {don't lie you know what I'm talking about}. I like to do everything I'm asked to do, to try + accommodate everyone {pretty sure I've inherited this from my mother, although she does this much more gracefully than I, a saint she is}. So back to catching myself, when I come to that whoa what am I doing moment, I usually stop, take a deep breath, + take one thing at a time {+ tell myself to just chill the **** out, no one wants to be around a crazy lady}. Once I get into a calmer state, I notice the little things more + the day becomes more simple. The simple things that are pretty + intriguing {like these rocks I found}. The combo of the stained wood with white rocks {to me} is breath taking {+ yes, simple}. 

So long story short {I'm bad at telling short stories, ask anyone} take time to stop being a crazy chicken + notice the simple things around you, they will most undoubtedly surprise you {+ maybe even lead you in a new direction}. That is the rant {or wisdom, however you see it} of the day. Ta ta.

TONIGHT, if you like films go to Prytania Theater for the last night of Nola Film Fest. I'm going to see the second viewing of Father-Like Son @ 9:30PM, some of my very talented friends directed + produced it. Do it!
