1. Driving back into the city from a weekend in Indiana.
2. A little snack for the drive home. Mamba’s are the best!
3. My mom after walking the Survivor parade. So happy to say that my mom is a survivor!
4. Race for the Cure 2012!
Linking up with Ashley at a {little} dash of ash for Instagram Monday. I’m actually really addicted to this app, but somehow I only managed to post 4 photos this weekend. I spent the weekend with my mom in Indiana for our second Race for the Cure. You can hear all about the first one here. I’ll post more pictures tomorrow.
Now for the Smell the Roses challenge from Jessica at Lovely Little Things. Last week’s challenge was to “Meet a Need”. I struggled this week to really make this one happen, but I did manage to do something on Friday that helped meet a need.
We have someone new starting in our department today and the vacant office that she is going to use was an absolute mess. I mean…cabinets full of junk, extra broken chairs, bulletin boards, etc. just thrown in there over the past couple of months. It was basically an extra storage closet. I felt bad that she was going to have to come into an office that was just a complete mess so I took the entire first part of the day to move everything out and Clorox everything down. I got everything cleaned up and then got her computer setup too so she was all ready to start today. I’m so excited to have another girl in the office my age (a lot of people in our office are much older) though!
Anyway, not a huge “need” but I did get a big thank you from my boss. She said she was going to come in on Sunday to do it so I’m definitely glad she didn’t have to do that.
This week’s challenge is: Make a mix CD for someone.
Happy Monday! Can’t believe I’ll be in San Francisco in 3 days! Yay for a short week followed by a long weekend in San Fran.
It’s been forever since I’ve had a Mamba’s!
I know, right? I used to beg my mom when I was younger to buy them.
I’m addicted to Instagram as well. LOVE that app.
What the heck are Mambas?
SO AWESOME that your mom is a survivor!
Haha Mambas are little candies (kind of like starbursts). Each package comes with 3 flavors. I just remember getting them as a little kid but I still love them.
I’m gonna have to find you on Instagram!
i love instagram but sometimes i forget to take pictures too. i menioned this forgetfulness to a friend recently and she said “sometimes, it’s just nice to enjoy the moment, rather than worry about photographing it.” i really liked that and try to bear it in mind whenever i forget to take photographs
xx
ditto to kasey above — amazing that your mom is a survivor
I know..I feel like I take photos all the time. But when I got home after this weekend I realized I had like none. Guess I was just enjoying the moments.
Thanks for stopping by. Going to check our your blog now!
So jealous of San Fran! Have so much fun!
We need to plan a trip somewhere! Any ideas?
I totally think that’s a bigger need than you think
I would be SO grateful if someone cleaned my office to-be!
Thanks for linking up, girl – you’re awesome!
AND have so much fun in San Fran!
xo
Of course! I’m going to try to do this week’s challenge but not sure if I’ll get a chance to before I leave for San Fran. If not I’ll definitely be back for the next one.
Hope you have a great week!
Congratulations to your Mom for being a survivor and you are a wonderful daughter for supporting her and participating in the race!
Thanks Kristen! She means the world to me and has done so much for me so it was really the least I could do!
