on my own

today is going to be a little hectic, but I could not be happier that it is Friday!
I am alone in my department which is also pretty exciting.
there will most definitely be music blaring and probably me singing...

in order to embrace such a fantastic day I have decided to try a new link up:
I am linking up with Lauren from My Grey Desk to participate in high five for friday.

/1/my birchbox finally came. while I was excited that it had finally arrived, I wasn't 100% sold on the contents. although, I did receive a pretty nice razor (which I'm sure we can all agree are so expensive and totally over priced, so that was nice to get). I am really looking forward to seeing what comes in the September box! hopefully the stuff inside will be photo worthy this time.

/2/I went to the University of Michigan to do my first semi-professional photo shoot for work this week. I was really nervous but it was amazing. I had a great time and the photos came out better than I expected. The 8 hours of editing wasn't even that bad!

/3/the past two weeks I have been really struggling over what to write for my guest post for September. then yesterday out of the blew, the topic just came to me! over the course of the day my post got so long that I had to start taking things out. it is always such a great feeling to break through the writers block.

/4/finally went running yesterday. it felt great and I actually did fairly well. I can't wait to go tonight. I seriously want to improve my distance. at this point I really don't care how slow I'm going as long as I can keep moving... and breathing might be nice!

/5/Starbucks. duh.

now. I am off to a meeting and the craziness that is my day!
