PICTURES!!! i discovered i could take pictures from cosmo's phone and send them to my email and then put them on here! so this will do for the time being.....

tonight i cant sleep.

i'm exhausted and burnt out, but my brain wont shut off.

i feel anxios and decided i needed to create something.

a great outlet to focus my energy (or lack there of) on other things...

brainstorming...

what can i do/make?

...easter this weekend....

....i could make a treat for work tomorrow for everyone....

something impressive so everyone can confirm how awesome i am...

after a quick late night trip to walmart

except it doesnt have peas or lemons in it..

little mini baskets with corn flake rice krispies died green with coconut and robin eggs on top.

now i can sleep.

hope everyone has a happy easter!

confessions of a pictureless blogger...

still no pictures.
with everything going on in life right now, getting new space for the computer has been last on the list of priorities and concerns..
right now the goal in life- survival.

one of my survival modes- shopping.... more so window shopping... i love looking at all the fancy clothes i want online without ever really buying anything.. i love picturing how i would make it work and how it would look. but when reality kicks in, i'm a boring white vneck t-shirt and jeans kind of girl. no accessories, no fuss, no fun. maybe to add some spice, i'll throw in an occasional colored hoodie. oh how i love my hoodies....

i have big dreams of dressing girly. i really do. i look at old vintage websites over and over. admiring how girls can have the imagination to pull some of these outfits together.
my style icon = zooey deschanel in 500 days of Summer. actually, just her in general.
i WANT to be that girly girl with that old vintage fashion feel. i WANT to wear ruffles and pretty colors and accessorize.
but morning comes and my white vneck calls my name over and over again. taunting me with its comforting and carefree/non-fuss ways.

and guess what.
it wins.
game over.

pity party. table for one.

since i STILL cant download pictures onto my computer, i'll get some advice from everyone in another pictureless post....

Remember Jeremiah ?

well.... i went back for a trim. a TRIM.

nothing more. nothing less.

i raved about how much i loved his last hair cut, and i told him i wanted it exactly the same, just my ends needed to be trimmed up because i torture them with my blow dryer and flat iron daily.

i went in with a smile. i came out with tears. (my poor husband... i was on suicide watch for a good 48 hours..)

i lived with it for about a week until i finally got up the guts and called and asked if he could fix it. (i have NEVER done that before, but i had spent too much money to hate it as much as i did..)

So i went back in and he 'fixed' it.

4 1/2 inches later.... my long hair was not so long anymore.

ok...so its still long.... just not as long....

and its still not as good as it was the very first time he cut it...

SO...... do i go back next time i need a trim and give him another chance?? or do i cut my losses and continue my search...

am i being to critical?

am i a brat?

should i relax and stop whining?

probably.

possibly.

maybe.

yes.

maybe i should cut it short again...

LONG (before the quote, unquote, trim)

sorta SHORT (with britt and shasta, girls i love!)

(its been shorter, but cant find a decent pic of it right now...)

thoughts? ideas? inspirations? dreams? wishes? hopes? desires?

what would macgyver do?

you know you're from arizona when you go out to your car in the morning to discover that your windows are covered in ice and you panic.

the panic is eased when you realize you can scrape it off with a cd case.

thank you macgyver.

i was just told credit cards also work wonders.....

multiple choice test

i found myself in a predicament this past weekend...

i happened to realize i had X amount more money free to spend then had been planned.
this X amount of money just so happened to be enough to either:

A. get a hair cut and feel fabulous or

B. get the (much needed) alignment fixed on my car

guess which one i chose......
and guess if my dad just rolled his eyes and sighed or not....
oops.

on a side note:
due to wonderful technology, i have not been able to download new pictures onto my computer for a while... when i get this little error fixed, i have a lot of catching up to do, so stay tuned for all the fun and excitement! i know you're holding your breath!
