  1. I'm smiling today for so many reasons. It's sunny outside (even if it's a little frigid for May) which is enough for me! And I'm at a job, making money as we speak - such a change from a month ago. Happy Monday!

  2. Not only is it a gorgeous day, but as of Friday I am done with school- definitely something to celebrate! The things I blogged about today make me very happy as well! Happy Monday, Meg!

  3. Happy Monday, pretty lady!

    Making me smile today is the shining sun glittering on the deck outside. The rain clouds must have decided to go out for a coffee break. YAY.

    That, and- the progress I'm making on my novel.

    Oh, and waking up with sweet snuggles from my love this morning (cheesy much?)

    Ok, that's it! Off to check out some fabuloso blogs!

  5. I just checked out Boredom Cures - go congratulate her on graduating!! She also just saw Something Borrowed and has a review you should check out. Jami is celebrating her 2nd wedding anniversary and has a post showcasing lots of wedding details from her big day! If you love wedding pictures, you MUST hop over there. Sincerely, Jill and I share a style crush - Carey Mulligan. Jill has posted some of Carey's most stylish outfits, only reinforcing my girl-crush!!

  8. I visited Emerald City Girl where she had a recipe posted for Chicken Tikka Marsala (my mouth is watering). The way she posts the recipes on "index cards" is super cute!

    I also visited Life on a Stick where she talked about getting a job at the Mayo clinic, and moving away from family and friends, especially during a time when that support would be beneficial. Definitely inspiring :)

    It is making me smile that there are only 23 days left of school this year, and that I am 45 days away from making my move to St. Louis to be with the Boyfriend!

  9. Hey lovely lady.... it's a super busy day so I'll have to visit everyones' blogs after work. Looking at purses makes me smile... I'll have to do that after work, too! Seeing the man in his snappy bow tie this morning made me smile. I married a hunk.

  10. Today ... I'm smiling because I survived the planning and hostessing a birthday celebration for Hubby. Now I can relax.

    I visited Life on a stick - her post Faith, Hope, Mayo was amazing and inspiring!!!

    I also visited - Synfully Delicious - great posts on her favourite 10 things and enjoyed her Getaway post!!! Happy week everyone..xo HHL

  11. Hello Meg, thanks for yet another edition of this great social cyber-event!

    Today is a great day here in the Caribbean, Sun is shinning and it's also a holiday on the island so I'm off work- that surely puts a smile on my face!!!

    Just now I visited: Love, Julie and posted about her a great weekend (couldn't help but notice the constant champagne part- jealous!)
    Then Dance and Dream posted about MM and some sea glass pictures.

    Both are lovely blogs!!!

    Have a great week!!

  14. I checked out whitspeaks.blogspot.com for the first time! <3 it! Her routine seems quite familiar...& her love for starbucks.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I visited Life on a Stick where she discussed the Mayo clinic. I think her story shows that life has a way with presenting us with risks that are really worth it.
    I also visited The Sweet Life where she participated in misc. monday, and had some awesome pics from the bahamas where she's rockin' it out for a while- awesome!!

    Today, I'm smiling because I feel like I'm getting back on track with my weight loss plan, even though I've been slacking lately :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. Today, I'm smiling because we only have ONE Monday left before summer!! The countdown has been on for awhile now, and I'm finally seeing the light:)

    I visited Going the Distance and she shared a very yummy recipe that I'm definitely going to try soon, and I also visited 25 Before 25 and loved her love/not love post! I would LOVE to be on vacation right now! :)

    Happy Monday!

  17. Today I'm smiling because it's a sunny beautiful day!

    I visited A Day in the Life, which was super cute.

    I visited Desperately Seeking, who I always enjoy, and whose links provided me an hour of almost nonstop laughing. Thank you!

    I visited Dance and Dream who featured a few insightful quotes today, which I enjoyed a lot.

  20. Let's see... Selling back some of my school books for $30 makes me smile although I wish I could have gotten more! And that I'm done with school for the semester!

    Stopped by 25 before 25, she has a great video about skin cancer awareness that hits home for me.
    Also stopped by Fayesbook, she's a charming girl whose a little awkward trying to get her crush's attention haha

  22. Today I visited...
    WhitSpeaks: She's a college gal with a super cute blog. Random piece of information- she likes to dip pretzels in frosting. That tells me she has great taste in snacks :)

    Sincerely Jill: She has a great page of recipes that I'm excited to try! And I always enjoy blogs with 101 goal lists.

    Faye'sBook: I read two posts and was instantly hooked. Not only is her blog title witty, but her posts are honest, funny accounts of a 20-something :)

    I accidently left my blog up there twice! Whoops! Still new to this Mingle Monday but I LOVE it so far!

    Today, my wonderful boyfriend made me smile at work (we work together) when he magically pulled out a $20 bill to buy a soda and candy (I'm the cashier..) and I had no idea where he had gotten it from! He just laughed and said, "Your purse!"

    Gotta love boys!

    I visited Love, Julie and was so very jealous of how fabulous her weekend sounded! And wish for myself that I was done with school as well!

    Also, visited 25 before 25 and was so inspired by her blog! Her love/love not post was adorable and makes me excited for my upcoming vacation!! :)

  25. I think I actually visited every site here today. (blogger addiction problem?) I followed some great ones, and commented on others. But my favorites this week were:

    Sincerely Jill
    Life with Reigners
    Suze Blog
    And the one with the post on RACHEL MCADAMS. Love her!

    Thanks for a great blog hop, Meg! I'll be posting about Mingle Monday this week!

    I visited Live with Intention (I think it's so awesome that she is trying to join the Peace Corps!) and A Buckeye in Badgerland (such a clever title!).

    What makes me smile today... well, it was the first day of my new internship, and it went really well!

  29. Seeing my favorite lil baby at work today (I'm a nurse at a pediatrician's office) made me smile real big!

    I'm going to check out some blogs - I'll be back to share some thoughts! :)

    Thanks for hosting!

    ReplyDelete
  30. So.... late..... ok, I'm lame. I didn't have time to visit anyone today, but tomorrow I'm popping back here and hitting up at least 5 new blogs. Sorry for the delay... recap tomorrow.

  31. I'm smiling because my husband is making apple crumble right now :)

    I visited Throw the Starfish Back: she posted about 'Engagement Chicken'. I don't know that it has any magical properties but it sounds delicious and maybe if a man thinks a woman will always cook like that then he may just want to marry her!

    I also visited If It's Not Ok Then It's Not the End: she had a pretty accident-prone day! Sounds like she may get some bumps and bruises out of it :(

    ReplyDelete
  32. I visited quite a few fabulous blogs!

    I am a new follower of Life on a Stick and Will Coupon for Shoes.

    ReplyDelete
  33. What makes me smile, is knowing that I have a whole bunch of people who I love and love me right back!

  34. I went to Casey's blog, Stress Case, and read her post about prom - took me back to the day! Her sister wore some amazing red shoes to prom you gotta go check those out :) I'm a new follower of Stress Case - she's a nurse too!

    I also stopped by one of my favorite blogs, Synfully Delicious - her top 10 list is awesome and even includes a little Flava Flav. HA!!

    Lots of things make me smile, today so far it is my 3-year old daughter and my in-utero twins doing all their kicks and punches :)

  35. I'm smiling today because I have a sub in my classroom so I can help with testing, but really I'm just hanging out!

    I visited a couple great blogs and loved reading about life in the Bahamas and graduation...such fun stuff

    ReplyDelete
  36. I'm smiling today because the sun was shining and I was able to get out of the house and escape my computer for a few hours!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I visited Sasta and A Life of Lists! I love a girl who makes lists because my life is dictated by them! And Sasta's blog has amazing photos...all which she took herself!
