Abby. You are so much better at blogging than I am.

This is so Wonderful.

I love, love, love this website. It always adds a little sparkle, sparkle to my day. There's really nothing better than interior decorating satire.

Random Thought for the Day

You can really only count on your family and your girlfriends in life. They will get you through any time - good or bad, happy or sad, clothed or unclad, content or just mad, uncool or so rad, lassie or lad (!?), having or had.

That's why we created this blog anyways, to celebrate the support system of friendship.

Something Pretty

"Here I am, where I've been. I've walked a hundred miles in tobacco skin, and my clothes are worn and gritty. And I know ugliness, now show me something pretty." - Patrick Park

I heard this song today and it made me think, "Huh. I would like to see something pretty right now!" So I started thinking of pretty things, and here's what I came up with.

#1 pretty thing: Seashells. Now, who doesn't love a good seashell? I myself think they are quite pretty, and it's not just because I'm obsessed with all things nautical right now. (I think it's just a phase.) Many seashells have PERFECT SPIRALS in their design, and that is frankly just amazing.

#2 pretty thing: Cupcakes. Don't pretend like you didn't know this one was coming. But look at it!!! It's so pretty!!! Not to mention delicious, I'm sure.

#3 pretty thing: Anthropologie necklaces. I actually think most things from Anthropologie are extremely pretty, but isn't this necklace just a summer-meadow-dream?

#4 pretty thing: Fall floral arrangements. It's starting to feel autumn-ish outside, and that has me in the mind of apple cider, pumpkins and anything flavored with nutmeg. But also, pretty, pretty flowers in orange, red, yellow and plum. Pretty.

#5 pretty thing: Art nouveau posters. I chose this one especially because it's advertising absinthe, which isn't necessarily pretty in my mind (although it is a nice green color.) But the poster is still so darn pretty! So many swirls and curly-Qs. Plus I adore that old-fashioned text.

So, now that I've typed the word "pretty" enough times that it's starting to look weird, I'll leave you to go and discover your own pretty things.

Destiny

Dear Friends,

Here's my thought of the day:

Destiny is just timing.  

(see the teeny tiny box on my facebook)


Love,
D

for my friends

I am currently watching "Final Destination 3" I really can't say I'm enjoying myself... I find this movie pretty disturbing.


HOWEVER... Abby is home, I'm about to make Lauren and Colleen and she and myself a very yummy dinner so all's well.

By the numbers...

Quick blog post to keep things alive and kickin'... I'm not much of a mathy person, but here's a little insight into the numerical side of my life.

0 - number of minutes until my lunch break.

10 - number of minutes it takes me to walk home.

4 - number of times I take this walk every day. Also the number of stoplights in Seward.

3 - number of times I gouged my fingers with my printmaking blade (also number of bandaids currently on my hand...ouch!)

97 - number of fundraising letters from which I hope to receive beautiful checks to fund the art exhibit I'm working on.

2 - number of letters that have already been "return to sender-ed" because of old addresses.

42 dillion - number of things on my To-Do list.

23 - number of HOURS until I see my other half, Dev!

1 - number of smiles on my face when I think about going home this weekend!!

Off to the homeland!
