I'm cheating today because I don't have a new
cool things post for you all. This week has flown by (not really in a good way) and I didn't have the time to blog troll! However, here's a rundown of some of my fave sites from past posts:
♣ It's a good thing to remember to be thankful everyday for even the most ordinary activities, because that's what makes up a life - via Leah from
THXTHXTHX.
♣ Body art is beautiful and a wonderful (albeit permanent) form of expression - via
Tattoologist.
♣ A "Brave" new adventure cross-country is about to start for one girl and her vintage Winnebago - via Elizabeth from
Delightfully Tacky.
♣ Life goes on, whimsically and beautifully, despite extraordinary circumstances - via Stephanie from
NieNie Dialogues.
♣ Healthy lunches with spectacularly cute presentations - one of my new faves! via sherimiya from
Happy Little Bento.
(If any of you lovelies know of a particularly cool blog or post you'd like to share, drop me a line at respecttheshoes(at)live.com - thanks!)
One thing I did have time to do is keep track of some of the
