There


For once in my life I made the decision. The hard one that will leave me spinning out of my carefully planned timeline of life events. I am left asking, now what? The plan was to get married(check), buy a home(check), get my Associates Degree(check), get accepted to the Oneonta(check), attend Oneonta as soon as possible to obtain my Bachelors Degree (Fail).
I feel like I have pulled my chest open and now Im exposed and completly vunerable. The next checklist includes something like this.
  • Find an enjoyable part time job
  • Get back to my illustration work for a local author
  • Start an art class taught out of my home for homeschool children
  • Volenteer with the Magic Paintbrush Project

oh dear

two final exams tomorrow, then i am done, i will graduate. then its off to another school to pursue a higher degree. that seems noble enough. but then, why? why do i feel like i need something else? not something to plump up my meager resume, but to enrich who i am as a person.

-Days I don't have to go to work
-Tests being rescedueled for a later date
-Finding money in your pocket that you forgot about
-Pretty green plants
-Buckets and buckets or flowers
-Being with Sam
-Thrift Stores
-The Holidays
Pretty socks
- Having money to buy things for my house

a day off


this is my day off...my husband wakes me at six am as he leaves the house and i stumble out of bed after him to kiss him goodbye and to slao snag the advil i left in the living room last night. unfortunatly instead of staying up, geting my shower and coffee, i go back to bed and snooze till 8am, then get up in panic.. thinking im drastically late to work... of course its my day off. but my day off has been carefully constructed so that i can cordone myself to the couch with my laptop so that i can finish writing all those lovely papers that are due tomorrow. and study for my art history final.... tomorrow... but honestly.. all i want to do is hide in a corner of my house and cut out pretty pictures from magazines and glue them into my "i like this" notebook making pretty calloges....

living in a room called the living room...


This pretty sums up the motif of my living room.... my sister whi is fabulous, came over to my house the other day and remarked that it didnt loom like a man lived threr except for the mens clothing in the closet... im hoping that this is a compliment due to the clean? factor, and maybe the abundance of candles?

falalala...


my first christmas, in my own home, with my husband. I cannot wait. currently i am listening to an itunes holiday radio station. Although i do not really have a lot of money to buy christmas decorations, i have been haunting targets clearence, and been snooping at the local thrift store for what i can find... next weekend sam and I are going to borrow a nieghbors pickup and use a flimsy handsaw to hack down an overcomercialized part of christmas tradition... the pine tree. pine pitch awaits.....

aggghhh


right now i am supposed to be hacking away at the mountain of studying and homework as this is to be the last week of classes, finals this week and next, everything due at the latest on thursday...... and instead i am filled with inspiration to other things. i fail like that :)
