i'm backkkkkk!

so i've been sitting here pondering what on earth to write, even though a plethora of events have occurred over the past few days. luckily i can say this... I AM DONE WITH THIS SEMESTER! yesterday was my first full day of freedom and i loved it. though i must admit, i've found myself saying "what on EARTH am i supposed to do with all of this 'free time' stuff?!? free time?! I HAZ IT?!" yeah.. anyway. after class on tuesday i skipped out on some beers with kayce & merissa (which i wish i would have gone to, but ah well) and went straight to hobby lobby. i mean... STRAIGHT to the hob. its funny because as art students, we spend SO much time there.. but buying matboard, exactos, etc... it felt good to go and just buy crap i wanted to buy. and boy oh boy did i! i got sooo much stuff. well over $300 worth of goods for $115. so much decorating stuff for my room. which i then drove straight home to and demolished. i pulled every piece of furniture, every painting, every single knick knack down and rearranged. i'm proud that i did it all by my lonesome, too! it looks SO good now! i love the layout so so so so so much more! i put up my canopy again and everything! i wish i had prettier carpet... oh the joys of renting! oh well. its far from finished but i took several photos of it... but then my nikon died so those must wait. until then, heres a photo of my bed setup thus far. i still have many plans for it and i dont want to disclose them just yet, but soon!



yesterday i spent the first part tidying up my room and such, then i headed to west nashville to get mike and we ran some errands and such. bought all new pillows (yay! they're like my favorite thing ever!) and we got stuff to make dinner. came back to my house and i cooked us a yummy veggie pasta casserole. it turned out perfect considering i hvaen't made it in ages and its straight from memory. about that time AJ, bryan, elle and kayla all appear. we made a run to the liquor store and the festivities commenced. i'm really not a big drinker, at all. but it felt nice to just relax and kick it with my most fantastic roommates and such. well, apparently i forgot that i had bought 90 proof peach schnapps as opposed to 30 proof, and i proceeded to make double new old ladies for mike and myself. after 2, i was done for. we played spoons and all had a merry good time. at least, it was merry until we decided it was time for bed, then me and the bathroom floor got reallllllll familiar with one another. apparently i never got sick, so says mike, but i was pretty persistent on the fact i was going to. i think he said i may or may not have fallen asleep [read: passed out] sitting indian style in my bathroom. i think i just got too hot and felt woozy. heh. good times. no more 90 proof for me! but mike was utterly fantastic. he took care of me and got me water and a wet towel, etc etc etc. he was brilliant. so thankful for him. next time i wont' be so careless and silly.

i'm not sure if i ever posted my sweaters from the ugly sweater party last week! this top one DOES indeed say BARBIE on the side chest. yep, thast right. definitely picked up this piece in the kids section at goodwill. i'm amazed it actually fit but i pretty much love it. i wore it half of the night. then the other half i wore the one below it. it was insanely comfortable and fit me perfect. i may or may not wear it in public again. ha.



and just because i haven't posted a photo of baby G in a hot minute, here you go. snoozin'.


another thing, i just want to say a big thank you to everyone who commented on the last post and/or sent me an email. it was nice to hear your opinions and i'm glad i'm not legit crazy for "moving on so quickly"... hmm.. i'll save that for another post! :D

so glad to be back! i'm going to be posting a giveaway here shortly and i may even make it to Things I Love Thursday! <3

how much is too much?

with just one day of classes left (read: only one class, really) for the semester, i feel farther away from break than i did 6 weeks ago. it's amazing how some things in life have the ability to do that. its as though i can see the light at the end of the tunnel... it's getting closer. it's getting bigger. it's getting brighter. oh wait, thats a train.

things are piling on top of each other and i feel like i'm fighting for air. all i have left to do is drop off my holistic wellness journal and present my CMS VeganPod website that i built tomorrow. except my site isn't complete and i haven't started my journal. no one to blame but myself, there.

today was rough.

i woke up in the most fantastic mood ever, left nashville and was driving to class a few hours early so i could work on my websites when a huge chunk of firewood flew off someone's trailer and smashed into my windshield as i drove 70mph. i was so so so so incredibly lucky that i wasn't hurt. i'm blessed that the windshield managed to withstand that and i didnt swerve into traffic because the interstate was packed. had that gone through my windshield, it could have very easily killed me. or at the very least hurt me significantly. i was alone when it happened and absolutely terrified. i took down the driver's tag # because i couldn't wave him down. i pulled off the interstate and called the police. it took a hot minute (read: 55 minutes) for them to show up, and then another hour to write up the report and send me on my merry way. 2+ hours i lost working on my website that was due at 1pm. luckily my professor cut me some slack because i told him what happened. i've been dealing with police reports and insurance claims all day. nothing is going right. i have a huge gash in my windshield with no idea of when it will be replaced. its frustrating because the guy didnt do it on purpose, but the insurance company wants to charge him a $500 deductible when my windshield will only cost $300-ish (so they want him to pay $800 total! what a rip off! i hate the way they take advantage of people!) anyway.. i digress. all will be well soon.


all of this hullabaloo (can you believe this is a real word?! firefox didn't underline it in red or anything! and it underlines its own name! try it... type hullabaloo and firefox! ha!) has left me little to no time to perfect my site for tomorrow and im just frustrated i guess.

i've been thinking about blogging a lot lately. like writing about personal matters such as relationships, etc. how much is too much? i've definitely found myself having to explain myself to people lately because of breaking up with adam early last month and then seeing people ask "who is this mike character?" "you sure did move on from your ex awful fast" ugh. i'm a pretty open person when it comes to things and i dont mind talking about them, but the other people in the situation don't always enjoy being talked about, you know? i'm not worried about how i will look "professionally" with my blog, etc, simply because this is who i am. 110%. unabashed. unashamed. the good. the bad. and the days without makeup. and i want to tell you all about mike (and luckily he doesnt mind, i asked this time! haha) but at the same time i have to try and wonder when i'm being TOO open, know what i mean? i love being open and being able to relate to people who read my blog. maybe you went through a crappy break-up or you rekindled something amazing with someone from your past. no matter the circumstances, its nice to know you're not always alone. maybe thats why i blog. and maybe thats why i'm so open. and hopefully i'll be able to introduce mike to you the way i see him. he's utterly fantastic. i'll post what i've written soon. :)

hopefully i'll get back into my weekly rotation of posts, too. this semester has REALLY been something else... just 1 more class. 1.5 hours til freedom. ideally.


ps; if you want a christmas card from me, send me your information! you can email me, if you wish! i've got roughly 50 cards and they're reading for the taking!

dying.

literally. i feel like it. its 4:21am and i'm in a 75lb bean bag in a classroom on campus. tonight was so much fun, but i've accomplished nothing in the way of homework and i'm beginning to get worn down. tomorrow i have to wake up, come try to have josh explain my mess of a css file to me, fix it, rush to the frist museum downtown, BS a paper about it, cram cram CRAM for my art history final friday morning at 8:30am, hopefully MAYBE get some sleep after class if at all possible?!? then work, then spend all weekend rotating between flash website, web 2 website & work.


i may break down.
i think i already hve.
i wont be around.
i say that so much.

i literally feel nauseous.
going home to get a couple hours sleep maybe.
im tempted to not leave this bean bag.

tattoo tuesday!

lots of pictures.

heres a CRAP TON of pictures from my iphone because i didnt have time to do the mixtape monday today :( i spent 13 hours on campus working on my flash website and advertising (but they're both almost done! yay!) tomorrow i dont have holistic (yay!) so i can sleep in a little. my last advertising presentation is at 3pm. huzzah! then we MIGHT go for beers at the pond but we haven't decided yet. tonight i just kicked it at school with the girls, it was nice. i went and saw josh for a few minutes and now i'm laying in bed, wishing i could sleep.

heres a lot of photos. ill try to explain. most of them are just me being irresponsible with my money and shopping a lot. its what i do i guess. i look SO narcissistic but i try to do the "outfit" posts and i dont have time or patience to sit and take a self portrait with a tripod and remote. i just dont. so iphone photos will have to suffice for my blog. and peep how i wore the same dress on THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND TODAY! win! it's been washed since friday, but still. hahaha im classy.

i always take photos of myself at work in the bathroom.
