A kiss with a fist is better than none

We Heart It

Well I've spent a good portion of today sleeping thus far. Let's be honest, I've only left my perch on my bed to run downstairs and see if my roommate had felt the earthquake. He hadn't. Oh well. I read twitter just to feel a little blue about not having a Valentine then I just realized what my whole day consisted of yesterday and I realized that feeling down was not necessary.

Yesterday was lovely. I finally got to seeing Dear John. Wonderful. Amanda Seyfried is gorgeous and so is her voice. Oh my goodness. Lady can sing and it looks like she can also play guitar. Beautiful.

I teared up but none spilled over. I was shocked. I then realized that I have this way of trying to be tough with guys and it made a little more sense.

I hope you all are having a marvelous Valentine's Day filled with fun and love. Single or not. Let's not do the SAD: Single Awareness Day, I'm making a huge effort not to. I think it will make my life a little more positive. :)

If that doesn't work, go here

The post definitely brightened my day.

Saturday Morning

Good Morning!

It's been a crazy and sometimes long week. I had something to do every night after work that would keep me out until past my bedtime. So little miss C here was a very tired girl. The week isn't over yet, and I still have lots of plans, but I was able to fit some sleep in by going to bed a bit earlier than usual for a friday night.

This week has been filled up with two birthdays, visits with friends work outs (short and sweet because they had to be squeezed in), a toastmasters meeting, a sleepover, haircut (THANK GOODNESS), and other things I'm sure but have failed to log in my memory.

It's been hectic but ultimately good. I had a breakdown of a day thursday but I evened myself out in the end.

Now I must get ready to meet up with a lovely boy, we became friends over a love of roller derby. Oh how I love roller derby. But that's a story for another time.

I hope my buddies for the Valentine's swap received their cards! I have received a couple of mine and they are absolutely gorgeous. I feel like mine are inadequate or at the least amateur compared to the skills I have seen. Incredible. I guess that means more and more practice for me. :) Oh shucks, have to do more crafting.

And Carolyn I'm so excited that you got your book! I love it, love it, love it and feel so great when I get to share it with new people!

Well, I'm off for another day!

JUST SO STOKED!

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!

<3 C

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!
