I've been listening to this song for a solid month now and I see no signs of stopping. I really really love it.

Humpday Listday: Things That I've Stolen
1. Those little condiment cups at restaurants. The ones you aren't supposed to take. I have them in a variety of colors and sizes. The best one is a ceramic one from Loco's that had black beans in it. Its' perfect for a snack serving of grapes. And the ones at Red Lobster are always blue or aqua. Really pretty.
2. A Marvin Avenue street sign. Kristen, Jessica and I creeping down the street in black hoodies on my birthday. The best part? We couldn't get the sign off the pole so the pole came with us. My sign is now in the top 10 things I'd grab if the apartment was on fire.
3. Buttons from Walmart. Not on purpose. The lady didn't see them in the plastic bin I also bought. Oops. This has also happened with greeting cards. Where they scan one, but miss the other.
4. Chris' red plaid flannel shirt. Mine now.
5. Library books. A whole stack of 'em. I checked them out over a year ago.... but I still plan to return them, so does it count?
6. Music, frequently. But if I really love something, I'll eventually buy it on vinyl. It's like a test-run.
7. I once wrote a letter and instead of putting postage on it, I addressed it to myself, put the recipient in the return area and it was "returned" to them because it had no postage. Free letter. I've only done that one once, though. But it was pretty hilarious.
8. A bag of Cheetos from Subway. I got the meal and forgot I'd gotten the cookie as my side and grabbed a bag of Cheetos. I didn't realize it until I got home.
9. I'm not sure if this is stealing, exactly, but I once bought a shirt that was on clearance. Once I got it home, I decided I didn't like it that much. I took it back to the store a few days later and it was no longer on clearance... no idea why. I'd lost my receipt in the meantime and when I returned it, it scanned for more than I'd spent.... So she gave me more money back than I'd spent. I kinda felt bad about that one.
10. Toilet paper from the girls' restroom at school when I was out and broke at my old apartment. Jessica also once did this when we lived together at the Marvin House. After I'd told her to. The ingenuity of poor college students knows no bounds.
What have you stolen?

NOT Listday.
I know it's not Wednesday, but here's a list of what I need to do this week:
1. Finish Callie & Robert's buttonieres. I'm so close to being done! And they're sooooo cute! The one that's different is for the ring bearer. Aww!
(sorry for the terrible cell pic)
2. Make a super-secret (and super-awesome) gift for Callie & Robert.
3. Mail the GIANT STACK of stuff I need to mail.
4. Go to the grocery store! We're out of like... everything.
5. Decide on clothes for the weekend and PACK THEM!
6. Get a haircut! Ugh... nothing worse than bangs that don't do anything!
7. Try to keep the plants we planted last night for a full week. I'm really terrible with plants, so this really may be a challenge. Poor plants.
8. Sit down and spend a few hours working on redesigning my blog. I think a change is a-comin'.
I think that's it. It sounded like more in my head. We'll see how much of that actually gets done.
Happy Monday.

Sad Day
Friday night, the dog my Mom and I have had for 12 years died. Nikita lived a good, long life. She was without a doubt the sweetest, most playful pup ever. Even though I've moved (she lived with my Mom) and Chris and I now have our sweet kitty, Lemon, Niki was still my puppy and I loved her. Pets become so ingrained in our lives and it's hard when we lose them. It's like losing a member of the family. It is losing a member of the family. Mom laid her to rest under a dogwood tree where she liked to play and chase the squirrels. I hope she's happy. And I'll always miss her.

The Apartment Across the Street
Hello! Today is Saturday and it's the first of May and I have a brand spankin' new mix for you! Today is also my BCF (best cousin forever) Lydia's birthday, so this mix has a distinct Lydian influence.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LYDIA!
The first track is "our song" and the title of the mix refers to the fact that we lived together for a year in an apartment that I now live across the street from. Clever, aren't I?But this mix isn't just for people who are Lydia... no, it's for EVERYBODY! It's sort of a random collection of old favorites and some great new ones. There's Weezer, Jenny Lewis, The Postal Service, Beck, Blondie, and even a little Billy Joel. We used to rock out to some Billy Joel when we were kids.
Download it HERE. Or, if you'd rather listen first, the entire mix is available without downloading from the player below. Enjoy!
Be back a little later today with my Blog It Forward Inspiration post!
xoxo
