‎"I disregard the proportions, the measures,

the tempo of the ordinary world..."

I like to go against the flow.
Mix it up.
Live Fearlessly.
Sometimes I don't wear matching socks.
on purpose.

so what does one like me do to cozy up
when the chill of a brisk fall morning
has somehow seeped into the very marrow of my bones?

a steaming cup of french roast.
extra cream.
a dash of cinnamon.
and this...

  12. Thank you so much for picking me as your winner of the gift certificate. I am so excited. I love jewelry but would never buy it for myself. What a wonderful surprise. Thank you again.

    As for your morning treat, I will skip the French roast and have a hot chocolate with a dash of cinnamon.

  19. Yum! This looks like the perfect way to shake up the work week...just what I need when the weekend is on the horizon, but just not there yet. Setting my alarm a few minutes early and crossing my fingers that I actually manage to drag my butt out of bed tomorrow morning to make this :) Thank you!
