the last day

today may be the last day that i sit at starbucks with my friends. I graduate, then I am heading off to another school, and this may be the last day.. its sad.

lists of lists

I love lists, i dont really know why, perhaps because it adds some semblance of order to my life, i recently wrote this list in moleskin to cheer myself up...
Things thst make me happy:
- Starbucks with friends
- Tea
-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 :)

confessions

i read about a million fashion blogs religiosly... i was homeschooled and with that came no introduction into the nitpick world of public school "style". So growing up i wore baggy handme downs and castoffs and had nothing to dress up for so i always dressed down. When i was a teen i went goth(my version of rebeling), which was great for attention, it was like a mask i could wear in public. people could look at me and see hopefully that i was a tough chick.
well that was all fine and good, untill i started college, then i realized that dressing as one clique or identity was pretty lame and it isolated me from the people that i would later come to call my good friends.
soooo, i started looking online for help and i found www.painfullyhip.com and from there it just grew. now i no longer try to fit into any one slot of style, if i like it, then i will wear it.
