this 'college student'(wouldn't that be nice) loves her canvas

today was a great day...after school. well, for the most part, anyway.

before school, i was walking to my car when i found a debit card on the ground, so i looked around to see if there was anyone outside but i saw no one. grr. that meant i'd have to go out of my way to do the right thing. i hate that.

i went to the chiropractor, and she was a bit shocked when she saw my hair-best compliment ever: YOU LOOK SO YOUNG! YOU ALMOST LOOK LIKE YOU'RE IN COLLEGE! oh dr. bri. you just became my favorite chiropractor ever!

on the way home, i decided i would stop by the whole foods store to see if they had guava paste. i have been craving the burgers i had in miami and st. petersburg; while both were very different, they were equally satisfying! so i looked in every aisle, but to no avail. i found the guava jelly, but it's not quite the same...so then i looked it up on my phone to see if maybe i could make my own with the purchase of some guava...then i saw how much sugar went into it, and i almost had a diabetic seizure right there in the store! nope. that was my cue to exit.

when i got back to the apartment, i realized that i had not stopped by the wells fargo bank, so i stopped by the apt. office to see if anyone had come by looking for their lost debit card. nope. unfortunately it was already 6, so i didn't have time to go to the bank to drop it off. i just told them that if anyone did come in to report it, i was planning to drop it off tomorrow.

when i got upstairs, i was pleasantly surprised to find this little package waiting at the door!

WHAT in the world could it be?!

i had to get a canvas print! i chose this picture because i LOVE the lighting and the colors, but most of all i LOVE THE FLAG! it's a slice of the beach in my living room! all the inspiration i need! i almost feel like i should put the ocean waves cd in the stereo (yes, still got one of those), and play it, blow the fan and pretend i'm there!

canvas print: it's every bit of perfect! (look at chaco, he looks like he just woke up from a nap, all disheveled!) 

the boys said they want to go with me next time...and stay. i told them they might not like it and mentioned fish, and that fish were usually a cat food. chaco smiled and said, "i'm stealth, like a dogfish! i know i'll like it!" bruno almost snorted and said, "more like a clownfish!" that's when chaco walked off and yelled over his shoulder, "whatever! you're like a blowfish!" and i just shook my head...i'll settle for mermaid.

and that's where we left it. hopefully the storms that are moving around don't hit them too hard this season! #missingthebeach
