making me happy this week
1. Carrying an oversized orange balloon with me all afternoon on Wednesday. If everyone had to carry a balloon around with them--especially one with an equal diameter--I believe the world would be a happier, funnier place.
2. This photo by Marta.
3. This quote by e.e. cummings: "the world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful."
4. This umbrella in the "circle chain" pattern (not pictured).
5. Lacey's post on forgiveness. I need(ed) it.
6. Making/listening to my "forgotten favorites" mix for mix club: a compilation that sent me back to 1999-2003 and included voices and tunes I haven't heard forever from the Promise Ring, the Get Up Kids, The Anniversary, the Sea and Cake, Pinback and Lauryn Hill.
7. Post-it-a-day series by Bird in the Hand.
8. Being reminded of Lori's love for these funny creations.
9. Thinking about my Grandpa Bud, and how he likes the way I tear Saran Wrap.
10. Blueprint's new editor, Sarah Humphreys. She seems real. Her little NY apartment isn't bad, either.
11. "Love Today" by Mika
12. {Added later} This post by Jamie Anne. It totally made my day.

Reading this post really made me smile...thanks Ali! I also love that picture of you with you orange ballon.
You're so cute, Ali.
Your mix also sent me back- loved it!
Glad you also enjoyed those quotes-something to always remember, but is easy to forget.
Oh geez...where do I even begin? Few things:
1. Love your balloon idea. And your cute outfit.
2. e.e. cummings is far and away one of my favorites. Just has a gifted way with words that most of us only dream about.
3. I too, read the article about Sarah Humphreys NY apartment. Man, her place is tiny. Makes my place feel like a palace. Woohoo!
4. I SO love Mika. That song is constantly running thru my head, and I'm bopping to the beat the whole time.
5. I made your day?!? Dayum, I'm good!xoxo.
I love all this. Especially the ee cummings quote. I will have to remember that when the rain comes back to Portland.
5. Bud! How could I forget Bud? I've been missing them lately. Hoping they're in town the next time I'm thru...which I think is gonna be ALOT this year!
I mean for that to be #6. Bud is 6. Ok, I'm done.
No, keep going. I love it.
Um, it better be ALOT. I miss you.
Allie, that is my Allie, loves balloons and I think that one would thrill her!
ali! i've checked your cute blog - but not enough - after you left me a note today I visited and realized I've really been missing out! balloons, limonata, and sweet shoes - it feels like home to me.
I want to see how you tear Saran Wrap.
I also love the photo.
