Cassi from Bella Dia recommended posting a picture and quote to get us through the weekend. Good idea; my quote is simple but a reminder for myself for the next few days.
Have a grea Memorial Day weekend, friends!

My friend Natalie’s bridal shower is coming up this weekend, which I blogged about here. She chose the “All Natural/ Eco-friendly” shower as her favorite.
I’ve started on the decorations and supplies, here’s a little sneak peek:
I chose reusable durable plates rather than the new bamboo veneer ware because you still throw away the bamboo products, and they are pricey. These plates I can wash and reuse at several parties in the future, saving several packets of paper plates to come. Even better, each was only $1 at the dollar store!

I had a sleepless night last night, my insomnia comes and goes still, and while lying wide awake at 2:48 am, scratching Rose’s ear, I started to think again about where I want to be in 10 years.
I think I know. At least, I think I know what I would like to try. I think I know what I enjoy at heart. But taking the next step… I am afraid. I’m afraid I won’t be successful. I’m afraid I’ll cost my husband and I more money than we can afford for the education. I’m afraid that if I do get there, I’ll find out it isn’t what I thought it was or what fits me after all. When I think about it, I get so scared I feel paralyzed. I feel confused and unsure and full of doubt.
What do you do when you feel scared of failing?
What would you try, if you knew you couldn’t fail?
I’m adding a picture of a happy panda to balance out this post 
Do you ever come across an entry in someone’s blog and think it’s just the coolest thing? I do often. I have currently 69(!) subscriptions in my RSS reader, and see things all the time that I’d like to share with others. In my Google reader when I see something I think is cool, or interesting, I click on the “share” button and it all gets stored on this page:

So check it out if you’d like to see some of the things that I like to see in blogs!
