Piqued

Missed 2 weeks there due to my parents being in town + crappy wifi at the vacation house. The week went fast - H was down with a stomach bug and we were just coming back from family vacation and celebrating our two year anniversary. This is the first weekend in weeks where we are not scheduled by the hour and I plan on loving every empty minute of it.My sister is a big Colbie Caillat fan. I feel a tad jealous that someone can have the looks + the voice + the songwriting skills etc buuuuuttttt I do love this story and new video: Colbie Caillat Is Tired of Being Photoshopped: Here's What She Did About ItAnd if you're into cute music videos that totally rock pop culture / hot topics by female singers who are great role models, watch Sara Bareilles help these kids get engaged:  [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjE5D9cHiOk&feature=kp[/embed]"To become a runner you must run. There is no other way." - Hannah Marcotti's post On Becoming A Runner.Found Kyla Roma via Instagram (isn't she the cutest??) and am loving reading through her posts and her Podcast Recommendations, but the most important thing is that she just adopted a HEDGEHOG. I die.Speaking of podcasts, listening to Tiffany Han on Elise's podcast this week was just what I needed to hear  - Saying No to Say Yes (podcast will play in window). If I'm going to really own my time, if I'm going to prioritize what I want to do, I need to say "No" 100x more often. And remind myself that I am not responsible for anyone else but me. (Why is this so hard?!)And this also helps, Born Hatin': Why Some People Dislike Everything - b/c while I have a critical eye, I'm learning that there are just people who flip the f-out when presented with a new idea. More and more I feel if you're not presenting a different idea or approach, if your criticism is not coming from a place of making an idea better, but instead to just keep us from trying something new, I have no time for you.xo
