Favorite Things Friday

Quiz time: Which of your favorite bloggers is newly employed?

If you said me, you are correct!

So this week's favorite thing must be friends whose dad's bestow good jobs upon their daughter's friends.

Now if only I drove a Chevy...

Kelly's Guide to Being a Part of this Blog

1. I don't care if you know my last name- stop using it. Yes, I know that I hit the last name jackpot, but seriously. You guys are going to get my identity stolen. And you, Mr./Ms. Anonymous: Stop it! Stop it, stop it, stop it!

Which brings me to #2:

2. Stop being anonymous. Those who comment must leave their names or online code names. I'm serious. The next person who chooses to remain completely anonymous will be banished. It really creeps me out that you're anonymous and know my last name.

3. That's not to say that you shouldn't comment, because rule #3 is leave comments. Okay, that's not so much a rule as it is a suggestion. It's more like a ruggestion; less rule, more suggestion.

3. Be kind. I live in this great world with sunshine and baby grass and daisies and 70 degree weather where all my blog friends love and respect one another, even if they don't agree with each other.

4. Stop sharing my secrets. You know who you are, and I am thoroughly annoyed. If you think it might be secret, if I whispered it to you, or if it's not something we talk about where other people are listening, don't say it. Don't even hint at it.

5. This blog is kind of like my online home. The door is always open, but we're having merry conversations here. Hash it out on your (or even the family) blog. Not mine. This mostly applies to family. You know, those crazy red headed folks who possibly stalk all my other readers' blogs.

6. Follow. This is another ruggestion, but I never miss an opportunity to slip that in. (Follow, follow, follow...)

And yes, this is my three hundredth post, thanks for noticing. We'll celebrate later, I promise.

Meet Lauren

Meet Lauren. Okay, just kidding. I'm sure you've probably already met Lauren in real life. (Actually, considering that I have twenty-one whole followers, there's a pretty good chance that you don't know Lauren. In which case- Meet Lauren. For real.)

She takes such good pictures that sometimes I wish she could complete my photography assignments. And when I was little I was so jealous of her hair that you could probably say I was covetous. And now I've managed to suck her into the blogging world. Good luck ever getting out, dear curly haired friend. :)

The Library Bag

My very first bag! It was pretty easy, and I'm in love with the green pattern. I used this tutorial from Lula Louise. It was originally intended to be reversible, but that didn't exactly turn out so well. So one sided it will be!

It kind of reminds me of a grocery bag, but it'll hold my library books just fine. Maybe I'll even stop leaving my keys and phone all over the library.

But probably not. ;)
