friday love list: back to the random, because… well, I am random. really random. so random i can’t stop typing RIGHT NOW EVEN THOUGH THIS TITLE HAS GROWN UNWIELDY AAAAA…
Sometimes I come up with a theme for my Friday Love Lists.
Sometimes I don’t.
This week is a Don’t.
Well, not really a Don’t, because it went fine and I looked fine and I didn’t wear anything like this, but THERE WILL BE NO THEME.
NONE. DO YOU HEAR ME?
That’s right. LOVE WITHOUT STRUCTURE.
Much like the 70’s.
Remember that you should DEFINITELY do your own random love list in the comments or at your own blog, because hey… what better way to start the weekend than to fill your head with all the best things in life?

- The SUN IS OUT RIGHT NOW! SHHHH! NO ONE LOOK AT IT AND SCARE IT AWAY! - I won’t say a word (not looking not looking)
- Black Tea-Lemonades at Starbucks (extra ice, no sweetener) - except I’m an eze ice, extra pump of syrup most of the time…mmmmm
