Hump Day Distractions

I feel you bro.
Hellllo hump day! I can't remember the last time I was this happy to be heading over the hump. I'm still paying for the irresponsible (aka, amazing) decisions I made over the weekend meaning I'm completely exhausted, in girl friend withdrawal and complete dance party detox. It's brutal I tell you (#champagneproblems). Let's hump the day together...

* "A study... found that dispositionally happy people—those who have a general leaning toward the positive—are less skeptical than others. They tend to be uncritically open toward strangers and thus can be particularly gullible to lies and deceit." <-- That sounds about right! (Click HERE for a fascinating and very worthwhile read about what happy people do differently)
* Sleeping Beauty adorable-ness.
* Uncle Phil? It was you all along!? (mind blown)
* Strong possibility that THIS will be making its way into my home...
* This little dude is just cooler than cool.
* Tonight's dinner menu. I'll let you know if it lives up to my mighty high expectations!
* The perfect buffet spread.
* A kind of genius idea for parents looking to maintain their sanity.
* Look at all the stars who were almost on The Office.
* We've all been there buddy.

I couldn't even stand to look at you...

Something "popped up"!!!
Well not you exactly, but my computer screen. Allow me to explain. You see yesterday I suffered what I believe was Meri's First Migraine (awwww). It started with a weird blur in my vision in the morning right around when I normally finish and publish my posts. A fuzzy, achy head and bizarre intolerance for bright light followed... I managed to eek out a full work day (important deadlines loomed) by doing this:

Attorney Chic.
Good thing I had such totally work appropriate sunglasses with me right? Anyway, I barely made it through work, didn't once browse on Pinterest (now you know my head was achin') and I apologize for leaving you Meri-less for the day (hopefully not merry-less!?!) One gem that did come from my inability to hear loud noises or endure bright light though, was that I relaxed by listening to Disney's Sleeping Beauty soundtrack (isn't that what all adult women do when they want to feel better!?) and thankfully felt well enough to look up THIS:

Princess Aurora
That's Mary Costa, also known as Sleeping Beauty. How gorgeous right!? Turns out many of the voices behind my favorite princesses come from ladies with strikingly princess-like features (Cinderella played by Ilene Woods and Snow White played by Adriana Caselotti below... Check out more HERE!)

So now that I've provided a very long-winded and Disnified excuse for my absence yesterday...

HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SUMMER!!! 
Here's hoping your weekend is filled with "sweetness and light"!!!
Sweetness & Light... so damn clever (& adorable!)
