at the end of the day, i rewarded myself with some of this:

✰ portlandia is coming to durham!!! i bought tickets the second i saw this.

✰ ideally, i would like to do yoga, organize our apartment, and do [necessary] laundry today -- in addition to diabetes clinic and a work dinner tonight. we'll see how things go.
✰ we're off to miami tomorrow -- yes again. this time, it's for a fun reason -- a baby shower!

+ some friday link love
✔ i am newly motivated by caroline's beautiful meal-planning post! this week was an example of what happens when there are no plans, food-wise. and it reminded me of why it's so much better to do it!
✔ if i had different resolutions this year, i would be all over the declutter & organize calendar i read about on chelsea's blog. check it out if you are looking to whip your surroundings into shape!
✔ zenhabits advice on dealing with clutter. our apartment is currently getting slowly filled up with baby-related . . . stuff and i'm already looking to streamline. of course, i want to have the essentials but i want to avoid excess and also have it all organized in some fashion. hmmm.
✔ congratulations to heather @ SoS on her new bundle!
okay, 30 minutes of pre-work yoga starts . . .
NOW.
