Sometimes you just have to give it a whirl...

Happy Friday!
I've been craving creativity lately. Itching to create. 

My inner critic has been working overtime, though (skeptical thing that she is).
So I made her sit down and watch this:

p.s. We're off to see Up! this afternoon.  Because it's rainy. And because it's Friday. And because why do we even need to have a reason?

That clip makes me want to dress up and dance around.

I dig the groovy white go-go boots. I had a pair when I was 10. I think that may be when my love of shoes began.

We just saw Up this afternoon too. I laughed, I cried. I loved it.

(Okay, I finally made it back here again to watch this. I swear I've tried like 3 different times at least and I either get interrupted and come back to find it opened on this page HOURS later and thought "oh shoot" or my computer was being stubborn and temperamental and wouldn't load it.)

Anyway--thanks for it.
Good {+ fun} advice.
Now I just need to do it.
