FYI

So for the preppy paper swap i’m participating in I’ve gotta share some info for my swap partner.

Favorite Colors: pink, and green (can you tell?)

Favorite Theme: stripes. or argyle. argyle anything <3

Monogram: HJB or hBj - i think it’s far too soon to put my married name in there since there’s still over 400 days left…not that i’m counting. But for when i do get married it’ll be HJS or hSj

Speaking of preppy, did i mention I managed to find red madras shorts at the JCrew outlet? With a pair of matching flip flops. Yes yes…i bought them both. I wore them to our engagement party last weekend (which was really a brunch. and entirely a surprise on all accounts)

For now, I’m sitting on the bus up to NYC (NEW YORK CITY!? - remember those pace picante commercials? Yeah I say NYC like that. cauuusseee I’m totally a nerd) and have wireless on my bus thanks to Bolt Bus woo!

Anyhow, I’ve been making some major headway into my manuscript. I had a flash of inspiration earlier this week and spent the better part of an afternoon hashing out my ideas. I don’t want to say too much but I’m kind of excited about it. Mostly because I once used to joke that I could write about this but never considered it, or whenever I did I threw away any ideas or brainstorming sessions out of frustration. But last night, I heard a song and it gave me such inspiration because i just wrote. I was standing at the front desk of the gym and i had to write so I wrote on scrap papers but it made me realize where I want it to go. Sooo we’ll see. A work in progress but so long as I stick with it perhaps it’ll go somewhere.

Anyhow now for writing and kelly clarkson. She’s my inspiration as dorky as that sounds.
