AH! TOO CUTE!

Oh my gosh I saw this picture posted on my cousin's blog of little Penny and I almost died. She is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!!!! This weekend my cousin Chelsey and her husband Daniel came into town for a little bit. I was really sad that I didn't get to see them that much, from the looks of the background of this picture my family was up to something fun. Then again it is always a party of some sort at my Aunt's house.

Seriously...I see that Joan's bag and I am jealous of whatever they were concocting.

I love it when things like this happen!


You know those fantastic moments when you find a twenty dollar bill wedged in a couch cushion, or hiding in one of your pockets? I had one of those moments today just not with money. Whilst cleaning my room and sorting through dressers I found a coupon for a free guitar lesson! Oddly enough it hasn't expired yet either!

Weekends and What Not...

Hey everyone! Sorry that this year I have sucked at keeping posts, ha ha, I guess I have been to caught up with living my life vs. documenting it. I will try to be better though I promise!

Anyway, this weekend I had a blast! I refused to touch any of my school work and just partied. This weekend served as a much needed break and I loved every second of it! Last Friday was my friend Corinne's Bachelorette party. Where planning it sucked... the actual event turned out great and we all had a grand time. By the end of the night...er..morning, I think I made myself sick off of mixing pina coladas and strawberry daiquiris. Saturday my friend Joe and I went to the Festival of colors, afterwords we played miniature golf, ate at the Pennyroyal cafe and then ended the night by watching a movie at his place with his sister Amy who is also my really good friend.

For those that do not know what "Holi, the festival of color" is here is a clip I found from a previous year. Enjoy. When watching this video and seeing all of the colored chalk in the air I worry for everyone's lungs ha ha.

Little Things I Love About Spring


1. Bicycles

2. Everything smells and feels fresh. There is a new and clean feeling in the air.

3. Colors- Spring is full of so many bright and vibrant colors.

4. I can pull out the mini skirts from out of the back of my closet!

5. Baby birds (or animals in general)- I woke up this morning to little birds chirping in the tree by my window.

6. Warm weather, not hot and not cold but "warm."

7. Blossoms and flowers, I absolutely adore them!

Love Birds

This picture is corny I know, but it makes me smile. I think I need a little bit of "corny" in my life:).

Three Things About This Picture.

(I saw this on another blog and I thought I would do my own adaption of it:) )

1. The lovely piece of art you see in my hand I got for free. It was one of many left overs the Visual Arts Department was giving away. Sadly, I am a succor for freebies, when I heard someone say that they were giving art away I immediately took a "restroom break" from my class and went and skimmed them over.

While I was bent over with one hand full of these small prints and the other hand fishing through the rest of the box (a glutenous pose most sensible people wouldn't want to be caught in) a girl from my class hunted me down and asked me if she could do a documentary on me.......I swear when you hang out in the HFAC or any art building you are setting yourself up for a situation similar to this. I didn't know what to say (I'm not that interesting), an immediate "no" seemed rude, but I really am not that good in front of a camera either....I still need to give her an answer...but I am at a loss as to how to respond:(

2. The blue necklace I am wearing was made by a really cute little girl who lives near my house. It is really cute! She was 10 or 11 and the painting of the bird is really accurate. Who needs diamonds or pearls? Things that are made with love (and with taste in this case) are always the best:).

3. My friend Derek took this picture of me when I was unaware, ha ha I was making a funny face at him and before I could pull back the flash errupted from my camera. I can't be too upset though, I did ask him to take pictures of me for my oil painting class but I ment pictures I was actually ready for ha ha.

Fun:)



As of late I have been somewhat addicted to the online blogger known as Brigitte Dale, her episode this week was actually really fun, normally she doesn't do crafts on her video blog (Is that what it is called? I am not sure of the technical terminology.) now I think she should more often.

I know that I find myself repeatedly faced with the predicament she mentions in the beginning, every freaking laundry day to be precise. So next time when I am trying to get ready and am just staring at an over sized t-shirt I know what I am going to do. But please for all those that watch, don't use the stapler it is just as fast and it looks better if you hand sew the sides!
