Did you know that I can juggle? Somehow, beneath my extraordinarily clumsy exterior (and interior) I am able to acrobatically throw things in the air whilst catching them…more than once. Seriou...
It’s funny how we struggle between two realities: our ideal self and the life we actually live. Our “perfect” self does all the things we wished we did and already knows all the les...
In the grand scheme of things, I’m a pretty lucky person. Even at the height of unemployment I had a roof over my head, food on the table, and the ability to go out with my friends. In the face...
(this took place several months ago) Me: *dancing* Boyfriend: You look like you popped your neck out of joint and maybe are having convulsions. Me: No, I’m just dancing. Awkward Silence Abounds
As much as I’m a true city girl, nothing makes me feel quite like spending some time in the country. I adore wide open spaces, barns, climbing on bales of hay, and hugging horses and cows. Time...
2011 (mostly) sucked. There, I said it. I don’t need comforting or any help with finding the bright side of things, because for the most part 2011 was a big ol’ drain on my emotion...
It’s funny how just a little change of pace can really refresh your perspective. First off, my birthday was incredible. We had a gathering at one of my favorite neighborhood bars, Cecil’s...
It’s 1am and I’m sitting in my dark bedroom, furiously pecking away at my laptop. The nightstand next to me is covered in empty candy wrappers…but we won’t focus on that shit ...
Although it might not be apparent, due to my lack of updates in the past three weeks, I did make it safely back from my cruise. The cruise was a great experience, although it did end on a very sad an...
First thing in the morning I’m off to the Caribbean! One week of no phone calls, texts, emails, Twitter, Facebook. It’s going to be amazing! Have a lovely week! XoXo
I’ve been a little quiet lately, but since school has started I’ve had little time for anything else. Learning to be a Nurse is hard work, yo! Today I did a little last-minute shopping fo...
Hopefully this will be a most lovely and productive semester.
I spent the weekend celebrating the last few days before my school starts.Tomorrow, I go back to the daily grind of school and work and my free time will be nearly non-existent. It’s a labor of...
I’ve had all sorts of lovely and amazing plans for things I would do after my summer classes ended and before my fall classes began. I was all geared up for reading in the grass during the day ...
As I was walking up to my building today I saw this lovely little gem written in chalk on the street out front. It seriously kind of made my day. Today turned out to be the best kind of day for the r...
Everything I’m about to do here is based on this song. A few days ago I saw that Elsie had posted a little lyric tutorial over at A Beautiful Mess and I wanted to do something similar. I had th...
Sometimes we are the haves and sometimes we are the have-nots. Right now I’m celebrating a plethora of good things coming my way and stocking up the warm fuzzies for times of emotional f...
Studying for finals this weekend and all burned out of summer school. Five classes in ten weeks can really suck the wind out of your sails. Next week I plan on doing billions of fun things…like...
I got the tattoo I’ve been wanting!! My friend Sampada and I headed over to the tattoo shop after a lovely little Thai lunch (curry for me, thankyouverymuch) and I braved the needle again. I go...
As I may have mentioned before, this summer I took a ballet class. I have not taken a ballet class since I was about 8 years old, and even then I was never really into it. I preferred jazz class. Let...
Here’s a few of the lovely songs I’ve been listening to today. <3 The Shins – Sea Legs Vampire Weekend – Ottoman Rilo Kiley – It’s a Hit &n...
An overcast weekend has me sitting on the couch and watching Gilmore Girls reruns. I just don’t have much energy during the days. Luckily, the nights have been spent with friends and I have stu...
It may not be perfect, but it’s my most favorite state. I <3 Texas!
I have bought a few really cute things on Etsy lately. I’m in the midst of a full-on space remodel, so I’m constantly on the hunt for things. Here’s a few of the things I am dying t...
This is the administration building for my school. The other day I took a final here for my online course. Before this was a school building, it housed the company my mother worked at for 15 years. I...
The other night a couple of friends and I headed out to Leon’s Lounge in Midtown. There was a bucket of wine, a couple mixed drinks, and a camera. You see where this is going, right?
I know everyone and their mother has heard this song. But I really love it and need it right now.
I finally potted my summer succulents today. I mixed them in the window with a few bottles I’ve started collecting. I have big plans for the bottles, but I need quite a few more before I can us...
