around the internet lately.

lately, i've found myself in a weird kind of limbo: wanting to find a job, but being unable to. wanting to blog extremely consistently, but finding a dearth of inspiration and/or drive. wanting to work toward a spotless home, but finding it mind-numbing. wanting to push on with my career, but lacking proper goals.

i have, however, had no trouble navigating around the internet, finding what i consider quality reading material, which is exactly what i intend on sharing with you on this gloomy, dreary wilmington day.

- an interesting analysis of society's liking craze from the man repeller

- anything & everything from meg & and her opposite-of-fussy blog header

- this blogging philosophy from champagne bubbles

- simplistic running inspiration from a lost feather

- a new & inspiring chapter opens for one of my favorite beauty gurus

- an open-hearted confession from his little lady

lately i feel myself standing on the edge of a new beginning; change coming - inevitable, good, refreshing. i feel my job coming, ready to greet me at exactly the right moment. i feel my blog re-forming, taking a new shape, while i work to re-design it. i feel my life shifting; i feel myself finding purpose. and while this feeling has given way to a dry spell of instant-gratification-inspiration, i'm willing to be patient. because i know it's on its way.

weekend finds.

mondays tend to be a little bit difficult.

saying goodbye to the weekend, trekking back to work,

& a whole new slew of responsibilities & plans.

but maybe just a little bit of inspiration

will help you out of the back-to-the-grind funk...

- youtube beauty guru [emilynoel83] is one of the most informative makeup & beauty enthusiasts i've ever come across. she is informative, entertaining, and extremely knowledgable.

- i am in love with the bridesmaids' necklaces from [this wedding]. perhaps providing inspiration for my girls on the big day? the hunt now begins...

- i came across a quote i really enjoyed while reading the [may real simple] the other day:

"other people have windows overlooking a cityscape, the mountains, or the water, but the crab-apple tree is the 'view' we see from our bedroom window, the ever changing vista that my husband and i watch as we drink coffee in bed on the mornings when we have a little extra time." - francine prose

- justin bought me a [nook color] on saturday night! my excitement has been unrelenting. after i finish my paper copy of fifty shades darker, i will christen my nook with the final installment of the series, fifty shades freed. i have already begun reading dracula on my lovely e-reader - it's a book i've always wanted to read.

- the new editing capabilities on [photobucket] have kept my attention for the past few days; i feel they'll soon become an integral part of my blogging experience. plus, it's just plain fun!

- justin found an interesting article on [why law school is still worth it]. an interesting read.

- only recently have i discovered that some of my material has been [pinned on pinterest]. i wish you could have seen the massive grin that spread across my face upon this discovery.

here's to a productive week!
