JUST SO STOKED!

find it here

Sorry, but I'm really, really excited that it's Friday. So much so the f bomb had to be dropped.

Love Love Love

Excitement!!!!

So today during lunch I purchased my plane tickets to get myself back up to Portland for a visit. It's been about 8 months, maybe more and I've been going crazy to be back up there.

I'm so excited. I was almost jumping up and down. Almost, but I decided that was unprofessional.

I'm going to go to my favoritest place EVER: Powell's. And I'm going to eat delicious vegan food. And some not so vegan food, but mostly vegan food. I'm going to Voodoo Donuts and Muy Thai by where I use to live and Nicholas's Meditteranean food and oh my goodness. So excited. I'm literally starting the countdown today...

50 days left, 51 including today but it's half done so I'm going to let this day slide :)

And then I calm down

I have a hard time keeping a positive attitude sometimes but then I go perusing blogs and I find a simple happiness again. Earlier today my heart swelled with joy when I saw that I have not one but THREE known followers AND you dear readers (that I didn't even know existed besides my faithful Portland friend B) are not only reading and stopping by but also commenting!!!
I wanted to skip around my work with joy. Alas that probably would have been a bad idea because then I might have had to explain why I was so happy which then would lead to explaining why I was on my own blog instead of doing work...

but I digress...

After lunch I came back in a funk again and so I took a second after answering emails to stop by Decor8. More specifically I paused more than briefly on this post. Definitely was a good idea because I came upon this picture:

I instantaneously feel in love with the pillow in the girl's left left hand. Oh sigh. So then I followed the links on said blog post and found a gorgeous collection by Anne Hubert. I suggest you take a look if you like cute things, and I'm pretty sure you do.


In closing, I am less frustrated and stressed now and I'm ready to get back to work (kind of) and I appreciate you more than you know!

Birthday Sooooon!

Pretty Please with Sugar on Top!

As of today it is exactly a month til my lovely little birthday. What will I do? So many options but what I really want to do is get up bum up to Portland. Up there I want to get my tattoo. Not sure I'll have nearly enough money to do this by then but here's to crossed fingers and high hopes.

I would really love this necklace. I'd take the money for a tattoo and a plane ticket first of course... but if there was something else to get this would be it for sure!

Getting Inspired

So I've been putting off putting together my Valentines cards for the swap... not because I'm not excited but because I have so many ideas and I worry that I won't be able to bring them to perfect fruition. But tonight is the night, I will sit down with my pens, paper, magazine pictures and swirling ideas and create beautiful/fun cards.

One lovely valentine may get a version of this:

Frickin Cute!

Oh goodness!

I can't wait to go home and get started. I think it's going to be a night of champagne, good music and paper strewn across my room. Excited?! Of course!

<3

Oh joy! Oh joy! There is a giveaway made perfect for me!!!
As you know (because I mentioned it in previous posts) I reallllly want the Instax Mini 7s REAAAAAAAL bad. Yes I have acquired the instax 210 but I MUST get the mini. The 210 will be good for shots of places and things and such but I really want the mini for shots of friends. Something to carry around whenever.

So here's the lovely link to the contest... cross your fingers for me!!!

Keep moving forward!

February 2nd... what am I thinking about?

1) I've been here about 8 months and my original promise was to stay here a year. Four more months. But if I don't plan for something else now then I won't ever leave. Planning is not my strong point, at least not with myself. I can plan other people's ways but when it comes to me I always feel lost in my lack of confidence in strengths and abilities. Something I must work on obviously.

2) I'm going crazy with want for a tattoo... I've kept my want at bay for soooooo long. But I've decided 24 is the year. Yeeees Ma'am. By 25 I will be sporting ink under my top layers of skin.

aaaand

3) I NEED to have a craft night soon. Must make my Valentine Cards for the swap. I have so many ideas but haven't taken the scissors, paper and glue out. I'm excited because one of the people I am making a card for is a lovely lady who's blog I read just about daily. She may have been how I learned about the swap now that I think about it. :)
