school's out

life after college is hard. 

it is terrifying,

lonely,

disappointing

but amazing at times, too.

you can read more about my last night in college here

from my column "school's out."

little brother,

sadly, i did not get any photos with my brother,

 as he was with "his posse" for the majority of the party.

who can blame him?

but i did get to hang out with this little muffin! 

love, love, love her!

and we both love our stripes. 

nick,

i am so very excited for you to begin this next phase of your life.

i wish you the best of luck,

but honestly - you don't need luck. 

you will be successful all on our own in whatever it is you decide to do.

promise to call me (on occasion) and update me on our life! 

after all, i am still your big sister and love you dearly 

(even if you think that is awkward//weird). 

xoxo,

megan

"somewhere between that setting sun

i'm on fire and born to run

you looked at me and i was done

well, we're just getting started"

"it's gonna take a lot to take me away from you

there's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do"

--africa (toto)

thanks to you i'm not the broken hearted

thanks to you i'm finally thinking 'about me"

it's time...

alright, megan.

it is time to get real.

you have a problem, 

and are on shopping restriction.

no more shopping...

...until

well, until your bank account recovers. 

okay, okay.

no more shopping for this girl.

or eating out.

or wasting money.

oh and to the man who gave me a parking ticket at 24-hour fitness,

thanks a lot.

i would love to pay you fifty dollars...

...not

as soon as i decide to stop being lazy (and actually go to the gym),

i am cancelling my membership.

sincerely,

megan.

mother's day

i got to work this morning and was presented with a mother's day card

 from my favorite munchkin.

she is adorable! 

never mind that mother's day was a few weeks ago,

and that i am not technically a mother.

it is the thought that counts :)

and she said i am "like a mom when i am with" her. 

did i tell you how much i love her?

she must like//love me, too because when i hit my hand on the corner of the counter,

and walked into the living room saying "ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch,"

she asked me what happened and kissed my wound. 

how am i ever going to get a real job when i spend my days like this?! 

...guess that won't be happening anytime { real } soon. 

xoxo.
