It's a beautiful day...

Don't let it get away! (Beautiful Day by U2)

I couldn't choose just one picture for today so here's is a small montage of my day. All of these pictures were taken Saturday, May 22, 2010. Before I took any of these pictures, my parents took me to the outlet malls about an hour away. In case some of you don't know what an outlet mall is or what factory stores are, they are just deals upon deals!! One of God's greatest gifts. Everything that a store couldn't sell, everything that was overproduced at the factory, or anything that wasn't sold online is in the factory/outlet stores. It truly is fabulous! Anyways, I knew Ann Taylor Loft was having a GIANT sale so, of course, I had to go. The ENTIRE store was 40% off!!! I couldn't believe the deals I was getting. Here is an example of the deals - I got a pair of dress slacks for about $20 when they would be well over $100 in an Ann Taylor store!!! That isn't even my greatest deal of the day. Needless to say, I had the shopping experience of a lifetime :)

The first picture is of some orange poppies. They are actually on a lot that is for sale/is abandoned and my mom pulled over because she wanted me to take a picture.

The second picture is me on a swing. My dad talked me into going for a bike ride to the elementary school playground. Our outing turned out to be more fun than I expected. I used some new editing techniques to smooth out my face! Also, say goodbye to my long hair, I'm getting it chopped off. About 9 inches because I'm donating it to Locks of Love!! I love short hair.

The third picture is of some Lilacs I picked from the front yard. My mom loved them, but since she thought they were too fragrant, I had to toss them out :(

The final picture is of the No-Bake Key Lime Cheesecake I made. Check out yesterday's blip to see the filling as I dyed it.

A busy but fabulous day!! I couldn't have asked for a more "Beautiful Day"!!
