this looks like my kind of movie.
***i received a fun surprise in the mail this week.
i never really knew amy (the designer) because she is the much younger sister of my friend's husband.
i remember she was a tiny little girl. :) very petite.
she has an etsy shop filled with really cute custom stationary.
she made some for me.
it it was obvious to me that she knows me in real life.
they say Megan.
not Meg.
🙂
i love them amy….thank you so much!
****and another thing:
***did you see the movie Almost Famous?
it's old.
it's from 2000.
recently craig was talking to someone and they said they had never seen it.
WHAT?
we love that movie….it is so so good.
Philip Seymour Hoffman has a minor role and he is classic.
so…if you never saw Almost Famous…do it.
***my chicago friend Julie has been doing a self portrait project this year.
her rule is that there are no rules except she has to take the picture.
i want to copy her.
so i am.
here is my first self portrait in my project.
stretching at home after i ran 3 miles…alone…without stopping!
***last because it's the best:
i have an opening for pictures on MAY 25.
email me if you want that spot.
it's taken. :)
Kim - check out jessie baylin – wife of the drummer from kings of leon. oh my goodness such an amazing talent!!
Courtney Walsh - the thing about Almost Famous that struck me was Kate Hudson. It was her first movie, before anyone knew who she was and there’s that scene where she realizes the rocker dude doesn’t love her and she is AMAZING in that scene. It is so raw and real and I don’t know if I’ll ever forget it!! Love it.
Like the self portrait. 🙂
Molly - ooooh I want to see that movie so bad! And I love kings of leon…and Almost Famous!!

Kate Bowell - We rock to the Kings of Leon in our mini-van. . . and we are seriously thankful that the words are just a tad bit hard to understand. We would have some serious explaining to do if they weren’t! You just can’t have that kind of talk coming from a kid! Love them!
tami reed - That movie looks so cute!
Darkchocolate Angel - Hello Meg,

We have absolutely nothing in common….but I still love love love your blog! I just started one of mine (no dont go thr…i havent posted anything worthwhile at all yet…just 2 posts!)

anna - Babies is the funniest movie, you will laugh your head off! – and then cry a bit too 🙂
Stephanie - That’s my birthday!! =) Too bad I don’t live closer.
jenni@talkinghairdryer - I’m totally getting one of those arm band thingies for my ipod. It’s a must when running, isn’t it?
Jodi - I can totally relate to your Kings Of Leon thing, but for me it’s with Snow Patrol…I saw them open for U2 and was like “hello, where have you been all my life?”
I have recently been listening to KOL too though, “Revelry” is my new favorite. Love your blog as always! That’s so awesome that you did 3 miles!
kristine - saw babies on mother’s day! LOVED it! you will too – except you’ll want more babies for sure! super sweet.
LOVE your new cards! LOVE kings of leon. LOVE almost famous.
LOVE the self-portrait idea too but i’ll leave that to you guys. keep showing them! lastly, wish i could take your photo slot!
Staci - And allll Waffle wants to know is when you are going to play with him I bet 🙂 That face….I know it well 🙂 And now, I must go find Almost Famous!
Art Cant Hurt - i’ve been meaning to tell you that i love what you’ve done with your hair!
so cute – and perfect for a runner 😉
take care!
Dee Stephens - love that stationary!
Dana@Bungalow'56 - I will have to google Kings of Leon. I have no idea what the reference refers to? I will also have to check out Almost Famous. After reading today’s post I feel as though I’m living under a rock. Am I really that out of touch? Off to google…
Dana
Lauren - We discovered Kings of Leon last summer. OMG! LOVE them!
Lisa - Yeah. Kings of Leon. LOVE THEM!
Casey - Can’t wait to see that movie.
LOVE the sweet treat you got in the mail. Awesome.
Almost Famous is so good! I want to be a groupie. For Wham, of course, circa 1986.
Christa - I loved Babies! It was a great exploration of culture, in my opinion. Then again, I have my own baby, so I’m biased.
(What kind of opening for pictures??)
Julie K. - AWESOME! I can’t wait to see your self portraits!
sarah - Didn’t know Amy J was family… we’ve just become blogger friends 🙂
