I am...really delighted you wrote this :) It's gah-geous, simply gah-geous.
I love Sylvia Platt's poetry :)

i love her poetry too!
Just made my whole day Brie! Actually it was made when I woke up and saw your hair today, hello! That shiz is hot! I am in love with that short list of things you are. I say short because you are just skimming the surface sweety. My list says I am lucky, and just points at your list to provide an explanation. I love your buns. Hope you keep having a great day. See you at the casa.
oh honey. as always, i love your kind words. i am lucky too, to have you.
:)
I am happy you are happy.

I think you are AWESOME. :) That should be added to your list. And I'm glad you're happy.
Love the post, love that quote.. And that husband of your is ridiculously cute with his posts as well. I am really glad you are feeling happy today! :)
I wrote Platt! Oops! Plath. My grandfather knew her, too. I am embarrassed!
Regardless: beautiful writing.
I'm inspired to do a list like this for myself. Thanks Brie!!!
This is really awesome! I know that it is hard for me to think of the positive adjectives for myself, so its cool to read other people's.
It's funny Brandon -- as I was doing my hair this morning, I thought, "man, I wish I had Brie's hair. It's always so cute." (And hot.)
*like*
Heck, yes! Happy Brie!

Completely off topic-- but did you hear about Jillan Michaels being sued for false advertising for her 'diet supplement"? I saw it today and thought of you and how you said you didn't like how she was selling all those products. Link:

kerri - oh no! i don't want jillian to get sued! i HATE that she's advertising diet products, but i'm still sad she's getting sued. :(
Well, I think it is kind of stupid, because do people really still believe that stuff works?? I am sure the woman who bought it knew the truth, but smelled opportunity, you know? Anyway, it's Jillian- I am sure it won't be too big of a deal. At least I hope so. And speaking of Biggest Loser-- yay for Melissa being gone! I couldn't stand her after the earlier episodes. :)
Brie, I love you :)
and OH MY GOD, i so wish you had posted more of your book because i am DYING to read more! its brilliant :)
im glad your happy today, i hope it stays that way.
<3
