soothing colors

sooo I got tired of the old background pretty fast... I decided I'd make my own header which prompted me to pick this new layout.. reminds me of a spa..

hope everyone is having a good weekend.. I've gotten a lot of stuff done finally and I got to sleep in which is always nice :)

Until next time..

1/2 an inch a month..

I want long hair again.

And curly hair.

Not Shirley Temple curly... (even though I used to want to be her when I was little)



but loose beach curly! (and no I don't want to be like Miley Cyrus)




Too bad hair only grows ~6 inches a year...


I'm thinking long hair and getting a loose body wave- which gives you the loose beachy curl!

Whatcha think?

Until next time..

No motivation!!

Wow I have not been motivated at ALL this week to write on my blog...

I've been getting used to my new "routine" that will be changing again soon..

I started my summer school class and so far have enjoyed it. It's the Collection of Decorative Art which is a pretty broad title...

I'm still working at the library and have decided that I'm going to keep the job throughout the school year because there is actually a lot of down time that I can use for studying.

Loki, my "lovely" kitten turning in to a very large pill! I understand he is still a kitten but I have never had such a ruthless stubborn cat before. I punish him for doing bad things but he continues to do them so I decided to give the water bottle spray method a try. The cat LIKES being sprayed with water. He will do things on purpose that he knows are wrong just to be sprayed! He even likes to be sprayed directly in the mouth! So what I've been told is to add vinegar to the water because he wont like the taste.. so far it seems to be working.. he tried licking it once but the taste of it apparently wasn't very nice.. I mean have you ever tried drinking vinegar... but now instead of cleaning himself he just leaves the vinegary water on him and goes and rub up on something getting the vinegar everywhere.. sooo do I want my apartment smelling like vinegar just to have a potentially well behaved cat..?

I am going to Houston this weekend to go to the Bridal Extravaganza Show... I'm looking forward to it mainly for the decoration ideas because we've taken care of all of the big ticket vendors already. I've always wanted to go to one of these and now have a reason to :) Also we're putting together Save the Dates and mailing them out which I'm super happy about!!

Well I don't feel like there is anything else...


Until next time

Fourth of July


I love 4th of July! I know it's in 2 days but I'm going to be super busy this weekend so I decided I'd post about my love for the holiday earlier rather than later!

I love cookouts.
I love firework shows- professional ones that you can sit in a lawn chair and enjoy.
I love a weekend with friends and a reason to get together.
I love hotdogs and hamburgers- which you have to eat at a cookout!
I love spending the day at the pool!
I love getting tan from being in the sun- which I won't be doing this year because I've gotten burnt twice this week :(
I love summer berries which are quintessential 4th of July foods.
Oh and I love America! :)

If you have a love of 4th of July too or want a dessert idea for a cookout you're going to or craft idea for decorations check out these photos taken from MarthaStewart.com. She has tons of crafts and recipes for all days of the year because well she's- Martha Stewart!






I just love how patriotic all of these desserts and crafts are! Some of the crafts actually can be altered for any time of the year! I love the star lemonade glass! It is a dotism red and blue motif that can be made in any shape or color you would want!

Hope everyone has a fun and safe weekend celebrating our country!

Until next time!
