sunshine

shining in my window.

miss scarlet from my speakers.

now that my test is over i can lay on my bed for two seconds and not think of thyroids.

new skill:

sewing.

i bought a tiny kit from walmart the other day (i know, im not very ambitious. but after school and work and quality time with people i love... i feel like crafting at all is ambitious!)

and hemmed some pants and a shirt.

i have embroidery thread that im going to make wedding gifts (speaking of weddings, everyone is getting married this summer! when did i get that age?) with when i get home.. but thats not really sewing.. its like drawing with thread.

i need a pincushion for my sewing i think!!

tuesday is my favorite day.

i sent this crazy ear warmer to my friend... and he sent me back this picture.

what a goof! i cant believe he actually wore it.

he told me here "wears it with pride.." hopefully it doesnt start any fights!

i had a scary dream last night about a giant (and i mean b-movie giant) snake in an artificial lake. i woke up rather unhappy, especially since it was a snooze dream... if only i had gotten up!

today is full of school and work and more school and

V!

howth-

one of my favorite places in the world.

sometimes i dream about it.

LISTS.

something i love.

i write lists about everything... ive even read blogs about lists.

i have lists of places and groceries and qualities i want to grow in myself.

i have a journal of lists.

and even though i have a journal where the daily things reside the lists i think probably tell life a little more like it truly is.

watched whip it tonight (recommend!) and did homework.

finished a hat for my cousin, worked out, and studied diabetes. with laundry going that makes six things to cross off! fantastic.

lists!

so nice.

i wish this was on my, "can afford to buy this whenever i feel like it" list. liberty of london.

FAVORITE PEOPLE p. trois

this is my mom.
she is fit (can you tell? shes snowshoeing a mountain!).
i love her.. she is real smart and funny.

she also has a secret skill- she is always way ahead on new shoe trends.

hurt hearts.

..13 hours of work on only 4 hours of sleep knocked me down.

im heading to bed stat!

the pretty things i work with.

SPRINGBREAKRECAP.

heather and i took the photos... what adventures!

thrifting, snow, pops, frisbee golf.. worlds largest totem pole..

cousins and friends..

are great fun.

here we are... playing on the day before a snowstorm!

how can it be hailing right now?

a nice trip to see family to round out spring break.

i like everything about

collage walls.
these ones are all wonderful!!!

its just such a nice idea i think.

oxfords.

both of these GORGEOUS shoes are from free people... if i were the queen of england i would never be without these beauties! im saving for these starting this paycheck. excited!

im not super fashion oriented but i do love dresses and tights and booties and these oxfords.

i seem to always reference people out thrifting in london as my inspiration.. they are nearly the same latitude as home and so have similar weather, doing things i love in clothes i like in my weather. perfect.

oh, i get homesick for this city!

oxfords. cant argue with them.

what a nice thing to wake up to!

crafties!

for a first project and learning how to crochet... four days ago, i feel as though this is a pretty neat accomplishment. maybe the dormant art gene is coming alive with a little stimulation and some free time!

i cant wait to start making them for christmas!

finally took a picture of the hat... i put the ties on yesterday.

nice.

FaVORITE PEOPLE p. ii

hello world meet the love of my life!

sirs the first person to encourage me, hold me in check, defend me, and make me laugh every day. today i started crocheting.. armed with my cheap walmart yarn and my pamphlet from hobby lobby i was probably a little dangerous but he complimented every uneven stitch of my too big neck warmer.

a neck warmer only a boyfriend could love i guess.

hes a keeper.

even my dog loves him. my handsome boys.

i am resolving right now to fight less and compliment more...

ill show off the neck warmer when i finish it tomorrow.

sleep in morning.

there are several awesome things about this scenario:

- i am not at work. i am not at school. i am not at clinicals.

- i am wearing sequins... i bought this dress in edinburgh for 5 quid at a weird consignment shop.

- i am drinking out of a new moon cup. my roommate brought two of them home after she saw the movie and they are now my faithful companions through all of my life in my apartment. always full of cold water. i love them.

- weird flat hair means its still wet... showered! which is nice.

on the market..

for a new purse!

ahh! what a scary proposition.
ive run across some things though... so im going to be updating my big bag with some sweet little bags. it appears im leaning toward flowers this spring!

i love pleats. pleats on windows, pleats on dresses, and the pleats on this coin purse are darling!!!!

really? how can anything be this cute? and a perfect size. i love clutches.

this is perfect for holding letters and postcards and my address book and stamps and pretty pens! i cant stop gushing.

ps: oh whoops! i might have bought one during class!

i think i can make the coin pouch (with a little trial and error..) and the pretty clutch i dont really need (and im trying not to buy things i dont really need)

BUT

the the letter holder could protect all the cards i currently am squishing in my purse.

im the new proud owner of lemon delight.

FAVORITE PEOPLE p. 1

(not my picture.. someone at camp snapped this after he got elbowed..)


one of my favorite people in the world is my little brother.
last night we saw invictus.. which was an eastwood film, so excellent.
anyway, i like to hang out with him.

spring break starts tomorrow!
im so ready.
here i come florida!

camp.

i just got home and showered from camp!
its an overnight adventure for kids 6-17 with any kind of disability.. and so so special.



hes perfect.
we caught a fish that was, "28 pounds and 41 ounces!" (aka... maybe three pounds)

oh my!
im in love.

vassup! iss saturday!

required to be a trendy blogger these days:

- fake glasses (nope, actually need these)
- new "old" flannel (again no, my flannel is all my dads 60's castoffs.. and im a cheapskate, fashion aside.)
- raybans (this time 80's castoffs, and from my mother, but still! i have them.)
- skinny jeans (check!)


by this reckoning, im about half real blogger.
that seems about right.

we are therefore christs ambassadors, as though god were making his appeal through us.

II cor. 5:20

i need to be a better person.

and since i am a FREAK about lists, a list:

- quit swearing.

- be more patient.

- say something encouraging to the bf every single day.

off to pack and read.

morning.

is it almost my birthday?!
look at all this amazing stuff i could buy with some celebration cash!

i think i better shoot for something closer.. like my paycheck! 169 days till my birthday.

mmm, the only fish i love.

after playing with my holga i think this is a wonderful next camera.

in love.

i know i wouldnt actually want one.. so this print will suffice! less prickly, more lovely.

i want this for my kitchen. if only it was wallpaper!!

i love the navy... and i love navy. and the beach! and i need a one piece in my wardrobe.

i am obsessed with this bag.

its green and 40 liters and perfect for a jaunt to the EU.

oh wait! this is already mine. wicked.
