me that other day that “You haven’t done a “Good Things” post is SO LONG”. Well, apparently Michael likes those posts… or maybe he just likes consistency (which is KEY to blogging well). Either way, I’m thankful for his input and I decided to blog about some “Good things” that have become great BRAND BOOSTERS!  When I say “Brand Boosters”… I’m talking about things that people notice and say “Ohh that’s cool, is that your logo!?” or  ”How did you find that in your shade of TEAL?!”.  Did you know I have my own shade of TEAL? Everyone talks about TEAL like I own that color…. and I would like to think that I do.

If you’re a fellow east-coaster, you may be having a pretty DREARY end to your work week. It’s POURING here. Buckets and buckets of rain are falling from the sky and it’s miserable. It’s the type of day that makes me want to lay in bed and do nothing but watch a movie and relax. But instead of doing that… I had a great client meeting, ran errands, went out to lunch with my husband and made a Target run. Productive, wouldn’t you say?  Oh Target. You steal so much of my money and yet I’m ok with it because I love what I come home with.  I’m in the process of a mini-reorganization project in the office and Target had just what I needed.

read this post…I am in somewhere in Charleston, SC.  Well, hopefully I’m in Charleston. My friend Steph and I are driving down tonight (Thursday night) and I will be shooting two sessions there this weekend. I’m really not the BEST with directions. Michael usually drives so I’m hoping we get there ok:).  I’m excited! Steph and I casually said that we were going to take a road trip back in college but it never really happened….but it’s happening now! … in like an hour! I’m soooo not ready. I haven’t even packed! I’m so thankful she’s joining me since Michael can’t make this trip.

things in life worth writing down and remembering.  Somethings are good, some things are bad…. but most of the time, when I look back on the bad things that I write down… months from now, they seem funny to me. So I’m sharing some GOODTHINGS and a few things that make me cringe at the moment. If you have no clue what a “GOODTHINGS” post is about, I got the title from Martha (Stewart). I like to use her first name as if we are best friends. She has a “GOODTHINGS” article in all of her magazines that share fun, good little things in life. So I’ve been doing GOODTHINGS posts for 3 years

in.  I got up at ten and realized my voice was completely gone. I’m guessing that was from the allergies I’ve been fighting all week, shooting a wedding on Saturday and then the combination of yelling over 60 teenagers at youth group last night. Our weekends are long… really long. On Saturday and Sunday when the rest of the world is relaxing and gearing up for a new week…. Michael and I are working. So today, as Michael got ready to head off to the office and I laid in bed, 1/2 dead… he told me to take the day off.  Even though I was only about 15% coherent at that time, I heard what he said and I decided it was a great idea.
