the bees kness.
and a lambda!

notes.



i should start posting pictures of the notes mister slips me...

"roses are red
farts are blue
giants are in the world series
and i love you"


my lunch is perfect with a note for dessert!

confession.


i read martha stewarts organizing tips like once a month.
the same ones over and over.
this one always makes me smile because its exactly what i have to do, mentally and physically. one tiny corner of my life for crafts.
mister is so very patient with my crafting and my indecisiveness.



in a moment of "its only $25 and the tags still on it and for goodness sake its just a purse and in the end it doesnt matter that much" ... i bought a purse.

i like it, its not the perfect ($248) bag but i like it. and if in a year i decide this is the style bag i want forever... then ill save and get the perfect ($248) one.
can you tell im trying to talk myself into this kinda?

WORLD SERIES BABY!!!



sixty+two days until christmas!



(my brother and puppy and presents and fire!)


im steadily knocking out christmas gifts!
im hoping to be entirely done by thanksgiving... ive hit a roadblock with my dad though!

my inspiration has run dry.





i really love christmas.
i like winter and hot drinks and cuddling and thinking about the people i love and what they might enjoy that i can afford. like a puzzle.

22.10.10

goodwill brings magic.

its lightning- ing close to my house.
forgetting sarah marshall is shaking because of the thunder.
im eating eggos.



this might be my favorite of all her transformations!

21.10.10

baseball has taken over my life!


ive fallen off the face of the earth this week.
its been nuts.
and all i have to talk about is baseball (if i even think the word nursing i break out in exhaustion).




i just love everything about the unbuttoned shirt with the dark beard... did i mention mister is growing his beard too? he always quotes this super funny z.g. stand up and makes me giggle.







this is half a week ago.
its actually pretty impressive now.
maybe ill post a new picture of it every game.

16.10.10

cooking-




with this stuff in my kitchen would be like a party.








14.10.10

studying mania.






dont let these pictures fool you.
nursing school is actually the balls.

but megan makes me laugh all the time, which is nice.
especially when were moving boxes back and forth and back and forth and she decides to be a pirate.

12.10.10

sick.


a picture of when i wasnt sick.
with the love of my life.

10 10 10

here are ten random things that today has made me think about...


1. i really love thighs. like really really.

(not mine. oh i wish i were this close though.)

2. and im sure my favorite color is the ocean. being away from it cements the truth.


3. im getting an arsenal tattoo. somewhere secret, somewhere safe. but im doing it.

4. sometimes i chicken out of telling people nice things because i dont want them to think im creepy. im going to stop chickening out.

5. strawberries are delightful! i ate at least a dozen today.

6. i love my girlfriends. even though they are far away i just really like them.


7. seven as a number bothers me. its odd, its between six and eight. god should have picked a perfect number that was not seven.

8. today i almost peed my pants: i walked into the dark dining room this morning thinking i was the only one at work and rene jumped out from behind the salad bar at screeched in spanish at me. i know right? he made up for it by complimenting my homemade granola.

9. i like toto. not the dog. the sweeeeet band.

10. im thinking about going curly again. partially because i think i will magically get her hair.

(not mine either.)

9.10.10

animals!

my mom took my brother to the animal farm this week.
how adorable are her pictures?
i had to share.






8.10.10

an example:


howth.



venice.



vienna.

7.10.10

giants.

game 1 in the bag!


oh hi giants!
mister loves sf. and i love mister. so...
lets go giants!

mini reading.


three articles worth reading, and definitely not related.

1. i love this article about learning.
its like good will hunting.

and so so true.



2. because im a girl, this one too about burberry.

3. soccer. its the best. inspirational.

6.10.10

lake date.

monday date night was a success again!


we got a little lost (after faulty directions from two people! and i should have just trusted myself) but we got to hold hands and listen to music. whenever we get lost i tell mister its practice for europe.



then we took our $1.50 bread, some awesome garlic and herb soft cheese, and some grapes to the lake.



the lake. and sunshine! it was the perfect day.



we even got to play with giant pug! he was super sweet.


4.10.10
