all the things i buy...

since i mentioned clocks earlier, i thought i would boast about the best clock ever!

ok... i started typing a long list of why this clock is awesome and then realized... it's an effing CLOCK! so at the off chance i haven't made myself look like a total gadget nerd, which i am thanks to my father, i am bowing out of this post as of right now.

turk turk.

when he knows that he has done wrong, he hides in the laundry room... the door was shut with the basket in front. he's trying to hide from me. i think, he thinks he's camouflaged. and maybe if he put his paw over his eyes, i won't see him.

all the things i want...

i think this clock is pretty cool and i've admired it for some time but i have a pretty cool clock so i don't really need it, or want it for that matter, but i appreciate it for sure!

what i do want is more hours in the day... sometimes there are just not enough long torturous hours to get all my things done. if i can't have time... can there be 3 of me?!

nothing better.

than a beer at lil woodrows.

and tacos from torcheys.
with the ladies!!!!

for hire!

a wanna be creative that could do a better job with photo editing than the twit at Post-It who can't even get the number ON the Post-It... i mean!!!

high fivin' friday

yeah... i drew this and then took a picture with my camera phone, what?!... i'm trying to be resourceful.

here we go! i haven't done this in a few weeks so here's a treat.

high five to my old sport Gauge for eating all the crickets that infiltrate the house. He's the best! (and he doesn't eat my shoes.)

my DVR deserves a high five for pausing on this CiCi's moment JUUUST right!

ever been to el salvador and back to austin in less than a hour and a half?... doubt it! i have. that's why Swampy, Jessica, Codelyn and myself deserve a high five!

high five to a perfect day. if only they weren't so few and far between.

and the last high five of the week goes to my blog... Happy One Year!

all the things i buy...

since the morning of shoe massacre '08, i am on a mission to restock my closet with cuteness. here is my first purchase. they are the jessica simpson henri and i've only been able to find them online at amazon.com. i got a killer deal on them at my loacl macy's.

mother and myself.

i'm jet setting off to NYC in three weeks! holla'!

at first, swampy and i were going to take the trip together but due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict, she can not accompany me. for this, i am so incredibly sad. i think my trip with swampy would have been such amazing fun! but we will just have to plan for another trip, at another time!

with my anxiousness growing to set out on a trip alone to THE big city, i honestly was a tad bit excited to do it on my own. i'm going for business, as well as pleasure, so the majority of my days could have been filled with me roaming rows upon rows of vendors set up at the convention center. which i know it doesn't sound exciting, but for this paper freak... it's like a dream land!... of stationery and wrapping paper and invitations and pens and party supplies and knick knacks and patty whacks and... okay, sorry if i got lost for a second. back to the point. so the thought of doing this alone was a little invigorating. BUT! at the same time, kind of boring and a little sad. it's always fun to share fun experiences with someone in your life. and i wanted someone to shop with, and eat with, and see the big city lights with. and it doesn't hurt to have someone that takes decent pictures.

well, my mother called me on tuesday night. she told me that she was asking off work to go with me to NYC... hold. the. phone.

excuse me! i'm sorry, i didn't hear her correctly... i thought she said she was asking off work?! my mother doesn't ask off of work. my mother is a work horse. my mother hasn't been out of the tri-state area since '96. and now, not only is she taking 2 or 3 planned days off of work but she is going to take a plane. to a city she has never been to before... WTF?! this is freaking me out.

but she was fo' reals, yo! my mother and myself are taking a trip TOGETHER! just me and her... she and i. THIS, has never happened. wait, it has... but that was under the worse circumstances of my life, so that doesn't count. anyhow, i am super STOKED about this. there are so many pros to this situation that i've ran out of fingers and toes counting them.

she asked where we were staying and when i told her... she said she wasn't familiar with The W. i told her, " it's no Holiday Day Inn, mom."

this is going to be fun... i hope she can keep up!

yay me! III

this one's for you, erika g.

i've been dreading this update.

okay, okay, okay... so this week has not been a good one. it hasn't been bad, i've had worse, but it hasn't been great. i've had awkward moments all over the place and i'm very close to shutting myself off from the outside world for a few days. but i won't. so here we go...

day: 21
cokes consumed: 1
ciggies smoked: 1 {from prior weeks} , 10{ this week} {yikes!}
lbs lost: 5.5 total {i'm having trouble getting over this hump}

la pensée de la semaine.

for days i have thinking about all the stuff i need to get done within the next few days and i finally decided to write it all down so that i could wrap my head around it... i'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. i just started on a fourth page.

those breathing exercises that you learn in therapy may actually come in handy... if only i'd been to therapy.

love this!

i want to cover an entire wall in my work space at home with white painted hoops of all the fabrics that inspire me. i constantly come across fabrics that i adore but i never have the time, money, or skill to buy 5 yards here and 8 yards there and turn it into something amazing. BUT! a yard here and there, placed in a hoop, and hung on the wall... PRESTO! instant inspiration. and wall decor!
