in a nutshell

hello friends!  i hope you all have had a wonderful day...and certainly i hope it was a better day than mine.  i know i usually keep my posts pretty positive, but sadly today i don't have much positivity to share.

i woke up this morning planning to go about my day as usual...take a shower then catch up on some emails and read the newest blog posts.  well, i managed to do the shower part right, but when i went to my computer to turn it on....nothing....more nothing.  my poor little mac was obviously overworked this weekend and decided to call it quits.

well, that sucks doesn't it?  but, the day must go on.  i got ready and walked outside to this...


it's the snow i have been waiting for forever.  i wanted to be excited, it is really a beautiful snow fall...instead i was irritated and realized even more how irritated i was because i didn't have appropriate shoes to wear.  why on earth would i be wishing for this snow and not take the time to buy shoes to wear in it?  lindsay, lindsay...think!!  (things to do this weekend...buy a pair of boots for this season!)

i got to work and had a hard time concentrating...matthew and i decided to take off early (we both work together) and i took my poor computer to the doctor...i should have it back in a week!!  oh my gosh this is going to be a long week!!

matthew and i took a trip to the mall to have some lunch...then we went to my favorite cookie shop to get dessert.  usually i get a cookie, but today i opted for the extraordinarily large cupcake...


the picture doesn't do this baby justice...when i say it was extraordinarily large, i mean it!  i still have left overs to prove it.

after consuming these sweets, we headed home to relax a bit.  i layed on the couch with this little girl...


later in the afternoon matthew and i had an appointment to meet with our photographer to finalize our wedding album design.  just as we were about to leave we noticed a lost dog hanging out in our backyard.  after some sweet talking and many large milk bone treats we were able to get him out of the snow and check his collar.  we called his owners and let them know that we would bring buster home soon...


so here i am enjoying a much needed glass of wine...


i realize now that my day might have started off badly...but the snow i wanted so badly has finally arrived (i can't wait to make snowmen), i got to take the day off with my amazing husband, we ate tasty cupcakes, spent time with our animals, rescued a dog named buster and now we are enjoying a glass of wine and about to eat a dinner with great friends before watching the football game.  this was my day in a nutshell...looking back it really wasn't too bad :)

xoxo - lindsay

p.s. my posts will be lacking pretty designs the next week or so, but i promise as soon as the doctor fixes my lovely mac computer i will be back in full swing!

  2. you know what, ms lindsey- i LOVED this post. like seriously loved it.

    i am very sorry to hear about your laptop. mine suffered a painful death last year and there really is nothing worse losing all of your work for six years!

    but you managed to turn your day around and eat a giant delicious cupcake and still remain upbeat, and that is just one reason why you are so awesome.

    i loved your "design-lacking" post full of hipsamatic pictures :)

  3. Wine and cupcakes seems like the perfect remedy for a bad morning :). Hope your MAC is better soon :). I also hope someone gifts me a MAC cause I really feel like I should be using a MAC instead of a PC.

  4. I am so sorry to hear you had a bad day, friend! But I am glad you were able to look back and not think it was so bad...you are so terrific, you don't deserve to have a bad day:-) Hope your Mac gets better soon-thanks for taking in that puppy, I am glad it had tags and you were able to contact the owners. I still feel so bad about that dog we weren't able to keep...

  22. Thank you for sharing your not-so-perfect day!

    I hope the Mac Dr works his magic and you get it back soon!

    That snow looks beautiful (although i don't have the worry of footwear!) I just want to frolic in it and make snow angels ♥

    Buster wandered into the best backyard, hope he enjoyed his impromptu playdate and his parents came and got him :)

    And that cupcake...oh my.

    I hope tomorrow (or today? I lose track of time differences!) is a wonderful one ♥

  24. Awwe. But maybe there is positivity in this. Afterall, you wouldn't have enjoyed a mini-time off with your hubby, gigantic cupcake, and your doggy - the simple things in life.

    Hope your mac gets fixed soon.

  26. A busy day at work yesterday (since we're moving!) meant I didn't read this post until now--it sounds like the snow storm has brought more than just snow to us. It also meant unexpected surprises (good and bad) and more time with our hubbies :)
