liz loving life.

i'm bess...or liz, or elizabeth, depending on how you know me. lover of life, collector of thoughts and songs and Sharpies. Can't make up my mind between Folly and Raleigh...I love them both. I think that the most important meal of the day is that first cup of coffee and a good conversation, even if it's just with yourself. I live for the first day of Spring when you don't even need a jacket in the morning, Wolfpack football, and fireworks. Just taking it one day at a time and trying to enjoy everything that my little life has to offer...

Story of my life…especially now that I work from home.

This seems like a fun challenge. I think I’ll do it too!

It has been well documented that the beginning of the year includes some of my least favorite months. So, in an attempt to not dread every day on the calendar in February, I’m going to participate in this photo a day challenge. (You should too! I love seeing everyone else’s interpretations of the suggestions.)

Maybe we should change from Book Club to Kindle Club…

Sorry, Vickie! (But thanks for the picture!)

Monday Check-In

I always see fellow Tumblrs with a Monday check-in, but I usually don’t remember that I wanted to do it until Tuesday. So hear goes…

Obsessing over: Whether or not I should try to straighten my hair. I’ve checked the weather, thought about how long it would take, and tried to determine if I’d want to quit halfway through. #curlyhairproblems

Working on: My fitness. Just finished up my first scheduled workout of the week. And also dreading the next one.

Thinking about: How I should stop playing on the computer and finish Three Men in a Boat for book club tomorrow night.

Anticipating: The State/Carolina basketball game on Thursday night. I’m hoping that I’ll be surprised with a Wolfpack win. I just love our team.

Listening to: The news

Drinking: Water, with lots of ice.

Wishing: It was Friday.

I miss Lost Dog so much! This is definitely on my go-to list for my next Charleston/Folly trip. Cheese grits, please!

Above all, be the heroine of your life.

New Year, New Hair

I spent yesterday afternoon getting a new look for the new year. Here are a few thoughts:

First haircut yesterday since August. Way too long to go without a cut and color!
It’s so much shorter than it was. Like doesn’t-really-go-into-a-ponytail short!
I. Love. It. Feeling good about an unexpected drastic change for 2012.
Raleigh friends—if you need a new hairstylist, check out Krista at Carmen! Carmen! salon. It’s in Crabtree, right outside Belk.
I will admit that I’m a little scared about how it’s going to look curly. We shall see!
Please ignore the weird look on my face in the “Before” picture. I haven’t quite mastered taking photos of myself in the mirror.
Unrelated random fact: both my before and after pictures have Wine & Design paintings in the background!
