The Grace Experiment, Part 2

This is my weekly half-hearted attempt to set aside the snarkitude & list 5 things for which I'm grateful, with the happy yet unintended consequence of annoying blog friends like The Coconut Diaries.

1. Receiving a completely rad surprise present from a good friend. If I told you this gift had to do with my teenage vampire issues, you would probably stop reading and immediately delete me from your Google Reader, so this had absolutely nothing to do with that. Um.

2. Stumbling upon my excuse to post weekly HRH Pug photos, in blatantly derivative manner of those famous bloggers who regularly pull this sort of Hallmark move:



You're witnessing a daily ritual here at Pretty HQ, in which the HRH Pug embarks on an exhaustive search for the ideal rawhide hiding spot. Please note the somber, stress-filled expression in his buggy eyes. This is a deeply serious business.

3. Spending the weekend with the Anonymous Husband - given his lawyerly line o' work, I don't take this for granted - who voluntarily accompanied me on an emergency Anthro* shopping expedition and only whined once.
*The dress of impossible cuteness? So cute. So mine.

4. American holidays primarily dedicated to overeating and only tangentially related to football, particularly those followed by special episodes of "The Office" (wish you were here to watch, Shabby Princess!)

5. Kerbey Lane queso, and my new hometown in which this delectable foodstuff can be located.

of course I clicked to see the dress from Anthro and of course I straight up LOVED it!!! Seriously in mad deep love with it. I don't think M to the Izz-A will be as gracious with the funds for me to get it though. oh well, i can live vicariously through you though can't I? or at least until it goes on sale??

Have a great Monday!

Oh my pug does exactly the same thing.

Super cute dress! I love it. It's perfection.

And I'm still laughing about The Office!! Did you see the trailor for the next episode? I have a theory on it, and it involves all those who hate Jim Halpert.

That dress is adorable! And your pug is precious - as a breed, they always look so worried which makes me sad. Good thing they have a curly-q tail which says otherwise.

I need to try that place for brunch - there's a location sort of near us - next weekend!

I didn't watch "The Office" yet - we taped it because I was sick of watching TV at that point. I can't wait to see it tonight!

That dress is highly enviable.
His Pug-iness is pretty cute, too.

In an effort to embrace the grace, here are things I am grateful for this afternoon:

1. The sweetness of IPP and her offer to search for clothes for me.
2. A break in my stubbornness permitted me to visit the Anthropologie site long enough to find out that I love their shoes.
3. Possibly being able to purchase a home next door to my cousin in North Austin.
4. I'm not Kurt Warner.
5. I'm not Kurt Warner's wife.

Was your # 1 gift a certain Edward Cullen?? If so, send him over here when you're done with him!

I love Anthropologie! That dress is really cute.

My dog does the same thing. I guess it is exciting to hide those things.
