you see? life really does imitate art

I'm not much of an artist. In fact, I recently took a personality test that ranked "appreciation for art" the last of my 24 strengths assessed.

However, for as long as I can remember, my favorite way to appreciate art (and almost everything) is via a magazine. I'll never forget the way Jackie and JFK looked on the cover of Life magazine (every time), and the way Elle made Jessica Simpson look like Marilyn Monroe.

That being said, I'm digging Papirmasse, a new company that will send you a magazine cover, which has been transformed into a print, each month for a year.

If didn't live in a 1,000 square-foot apartment, I'd definitely be indulging.

que sera sera

Sara visited me this weekend and I was so happy to have her here. The weekend was a whirlwind, especially compared to the looong week anticipating her arrival. I couldn't believe we were already saying goodbye yesterday!

We went to Noche (my favorite restaurant - you must try it if you live in Atlanta), played outside, vegged by the pool, made Sangria and had an all around fabulous time!
On Saturday night, we went out in Buckhead, where Sara, a Red Sox fanatic, was happy to find the team's paraphernalia.
On Sunday we found a surprise piece of art at Marshall's. It was especially great because we weren't actually looking for anything, but wandered in after breakfast and were pleasantly surprised. Sara is extra-handy so she helped me hang it/did most of the work...


After we spent a little time by the pool with Jim, we decided to go to Costco, and although I'm not a member, convinced people in the parking lot to let us walk in with them so we could get frozen yogurt.
All around, the weekend was a great success! Now I just have to convince her to move to Atlanta :)

Thinking about it Thursday...

I stumbled upon What I'm Loving Wednesday yesterday and was definitely loving it.

I know I'm a day too late, but I can firmly say that the things I was loving yesterday, I'm also loving today. So, I present to you today, Thinking About it Thursday...
summertimeee

It appears that I'm thinking about throwing a cookout :) Also I am, of course, thinking about the fact that Sara arrives today! Amazing!

PS: Oh and I'm thinking about our weekend forecast. Equally as amazing!
