Linking up with Lin for 10 on Tuesday, but I could only come up with 8 so that's what you get!
Some randomness for today:
[1] Yesterday, I had a blast at Caryn's house with friends, margaritas, BBQ, and plenty of pool time. There's something about a relaxing, friend-filled afternoon that makes the heart light.
[2] This weekend was also my bestie Liz's wedding! Such a blast, and I cannot wait to show you how much fun we had. Here's a little preview before I actually sit down and edit the rest of the photos:
Cute details at the Patterson ranch
With some of my favorite ladies in the world:
[3] I just found out that the summer class I'm teaching this year is not at 8am (like it has been for the past two summers) but at 9:45am. It's a little off my usual schedule, as I've taught at 8am for the last 6 semesters, but I'm excited for a little break from the norm.
[4] I just read Mere's blog about how your sunscreen can be bad for you, and used this website to find out that mine is in the "high hazard" range. Et tu, Banana Boat?! Read about sunscreen facts here; you'll be surprised! Check it out immediately and then switch your brand if necessary. Scary stuff.
[5] Today, I get to see the one and only Jordan LaBouff. I'm so excited about this, I can't even describe it.
[6] I'm teaching a 2-hour colloquium this fall (I'm one of about 30 people, so don't be too impressed) on this book, and I can't wait to teach something other than statistics. The colloquium is part of a larger course where students have to attend six (out of 30; they get to choose what they find interesting) colloquiums (and read a corresponding text) in partial requirement for the Honor's College. Yay for pop neuroscience!
[7] I bought my first MAC product (studio sculpt concealer) yesterday. It was used on me to cover up a pretty large red spot on my face for the wedding and I was delighted with how well it worked. My wallet kind of cried (and I feel like I'm cheating on Covergirl and Mary Kay), but it's thicker than what I normally use for concealer which means it sticks significantly better so I'm hoping it's worth it.
[8] Y'all remember my bestie back in WA Chels? She's been having some major medical problems for the entire year (2012 has sucked thus far for her) and would really appreciate any/all prayers you had for her. Pretty please?
Hope your Tuesday is simply wonderful. Did you have a good Memorial Day?

I was just reading about sunscreens! so scary!
Mac is seriously the best makeup! It's more expensive but it's better quality and it lasts so much longer!
I swear by my MAC concealer & each little tube usually last me well over a year, and I use it every single day to cover up the circles under my eyes. Def. will keep your friend Chels in my prayers.

Sigh, pool & margaritas. Need some of both!
Also, that sunscreen thing is so timely, every time I put sunscreen on my daughter I wonder if I'm really doing more harm than help and alas, her sunscreen is a 7. Switching that asap! I like knowledge, knowledge is good.
Oh man, I need a pool day so badly (AND the weather to go with it)!
Thanks again for spreading the word on the sunscreen issue--man, it makes me so angry!
I am also rethinking my sunscreen and makeup choice. You wouldn't think it would be that hard! Glad you get to sleep in just a little this summer, just because it will be so warm you will have a hard time sleeping. Come back soon!
Can't wait to see more wedding pictures. Looks like fun!!!
Mac's the best - and your weekend sounded amazing :) I want to hang out with you one day! haha
Love YOU!
I hadn't heard about the sunscreen! I will have to check this out. And your friend is in my prayers!
What a lovely wedding! Also, a lovely schedule change. :)
I hope your friend does better and will be praying for her.
Congrats on the colloquium! And who knew about the sunscreen?! Geez...we have to worry about everything these days, huh?
The wedding looks beautiful just from that little sneak peak! And I'll have to check out that sunscreen stuff.
What?! Sunscreen can be bad for you?? I definitely need to read up on that..
Praying for your friend!! xo
1. I'm so jealous. I need to make friends with someone with a pool asap.
2. How absolutely beautiful you look. Can't wait to see the rest of the photos.
3. Yay for being able to sleep in a bit longer.
4. Yikes. Just checked mine & it's a 5 so I think I'll stick w/my Coppertone Sport.
5. Fun times.
7. Good to know since I'm on the search for a new concealer.
8. Sending positive vibes her way.
Thanks for linking up sweets. Loved reading your 8.
Thanks for the sunscreen tip - I'll definitely be checking out some new, safe sunscreen for baby girl this summer!
Once you use MAC, you'll never go back! I'm kinda crazy about it!
