Such Great Heights

I never wanted to be the mushy, sappy, happy girl that was so giggly and blushing all the time because of how happy she was with a boy in her life, but here I am.

And this song is playing on the internet radio station in the office and I just had to share.

Nerding out.

<3

Must. not. open. wallet.

Why is it soooo hard to stop buying things? Where is my frugal mindset. Why haven't I convinced myself of the need to stop quite yet?

Goodness.

And then I saw this on Modcloth...

Gorgeous.

excuse my vanity

But sometimes red lipstick just makes me feel so pretty.

Happy Sunday

My 100th post!!!!

1. When do you feel happiest?
When all elements come together. When a perfect song is playing while I'm walking or I'm reading positive comments on this lovely blog :) or I'm seeing something new and beautiful or I'm reading in my bed with the sun gently hitting me.

2. How do you take care of yourself?
I've been slacking a bit lately in some aspects and really excelling in others. I've been challenging myself, keeping my diet vegetarian, keeping my mind full of new knowledge, surrounding myself with positive people, or at least funny people. Keeping people around that believe in me even when I don't believe in myself.

3. Are you internally (by yourself) or externally (by others) motivated?
Generally I'm externally motivated by people telling me I won't do something or shouldn't. (unless of course they have a really good reason as to why I shouldn't)

4. What do you do for fun?
Read, listen to music, drive around, shop (Really need to stop that one), read blogs, go to roller derbys, watch movies, make blankets, make collages, laugh with friends anywhere and everywhere doing anything and everything

5. What intimidates you?
unfortunately more things and people than I care to admit. The future is the biggest intimidator though.

6. What is something you're proud of?
Getting my head back on track, growing as a person, becoming more mature in how I handle all sorts of relationships, rebuilding bridges I did my best to burn in moments of intense anger

7. Finish this sentence. I never _____________.
want to feel insignificant to someone that means the world to me.

8. Favorite vacation spot.
Argentina

9. Today is a (rate from 1 - 10).
5 but it's going to get better

10. Finish this sentence. If you knew me really well you'd know__________________.
oh goodness, so many things, but you'd know that while I swear I'm never having babies I have quite a motherly personality.

Vice on my wallet, it's really time

Like I've been saying for the past month (all my spending life) I really need to cut back and organize and find a way to save money and pay off this ugly credit card. I also need to learn how to keep money in my account between each paycheck. It's not like it needs to be difficult I just have such a shopping but, so quick to pick something up that all my money goes away so fast.

Also, I love, love, love food. So hard for me to take the time to make my own when I could just buy something delicious and fast from someone else. That needs to be cut back tremendously.

Here's what I really need to do:

Enjoy what I already have.

For instance:


Writing pretty letters on pretty paper



Taking pictures with my wonderful cameras



Crocheting new things, continuing old projects, etc

And of course I can be working on the no money needed 25 by 25

Reading:

Current book in my purse. Half way through. It's like reading a dream. I'm really impressed.


and hanging out with the boy :)

I guess it could be worse now couldn't it. I already have such beautiful things in my life and I just keep cluttering it with more.

and PS I'm pretty sure I've mentioned my inability to commit to a relationship outside of friendship. Well, I'm happy to announce that I am in a relationship. The fact that I'm not running for the hills is awesome and incredible and I'm pretty stoked.

Money comes in and then goes away so fast

Spent way too much money yesterday. Oh paydays. I bought myself a plain white comforter from Ikea, decided I'll play around with the sheets instead and stick with a white duvet cover.


Max
Bought this shirt from Max Wanger. My first one. I wanted one a while ago but it didn't hit me so much that I bought it, this time he put up a shirt with balloons and I have a weakness for balloons. :)

Then I bought a slip from Urban Outfitter so I can wear my slip dress from Anthro.

Then Target stole some money on food and such.

Bills bills bill also took some of my pretty monies.

Oh well. Life is good.
I'm really happy in my current boy situation.

Have I ever been able to say that before? I don't think so.

We Heart It

Sometimes it is so hard for me to be motivated to do anything. I sit and stare at walls and do everything I can to avoid actually being productive. It is during this phases that time generally feels like it is going so slow. It is mind over matter I know but I can't get my mind over this matter at this moment.

I'm also trying my hardest to stay awake all day. Not easy at a desk.

I must go back to being at least semi productive now...

Any tips on staying awake with little sleep?
I love naps so much it's hard for my body not to slip into it when even just the least bit tired.
