Craft time!

Last night my biffle and I made these gorgeous little flowers.

I made the black one for when we go on "tour" to go with my oh so not attractive Wind Ensemble dress. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to attach it to in order to put it in my hair, ha ha.

Annnnnd I made this headband too!

I'm loving the crafty thing :) and my Audrey Hepburn calender in the back... which is still on January, ha ha. If you want to make them too check out this blog where I got my inspiration!

Baby fever!

Forget "Beiber" fever, I've got full on baby fever! I always knew I wanted babies but boy as soon as we were home from the honeymoon my biological clock has been going absolutely insane! It doesn't really help that these baby magazines come to my house (from my old roommate buying a baby gift online for one of her friends) and I read them, everyone of them, cover to cover. It really is a sickness.
I have come up with a few remedies though. The biggest one was to get a puppy, my sweet Khloe

...then she ate my brand new nine west stilettos. Grrrrrr. The hubby says she should cure my baby bug but, alas, no cure in sight.

Then we brought my childhood puppy from my parents house to our house. My sweet, loyal Sable-Anne :)

(That's her trying to cuddle with me while I do homework... pretty much exactly where she is now, haha.)

She only made it worse though because she's just such a sweet cuddle bug. So my next plan was to, well do just that, make plans. So I have goals, plans, directions in life I want to go. And yes, a baby (or 2 or 3...) is included in those plans as well as my princess goals, grad school, the hubby flying... It just seems like those plans are so far away! So... here I am dreaming about holding babies and cuddling with my fur babies in the mean time :) So here's to being a grown up and trying desperately to be a patient one!

Babies, puppies, and big dreams,

Day 04

A picture of someone who inspires you....

Kandee Johnson -- I read her blogs, watch her youtube channels, friend-ed her on facebook... basically I'm obsessed. She is amazing! I like to consider us kindred spirits :)

Yay for happy inspirations!

Day 02

a picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest...

my sister! Elizabeth! I think we look just a like in this picture! Pretty much she's been my biffle since I was about 4. When she was born she brought me a troll ring out of the shop in my mom's belly. (Yeah, my parents really warped my outlook on Biology, ha ha!)

one of "those days"

Actually, this whole week has been one of "those days". My car got towed, my windshield got a crack in it, my puppy had to go to the vet... a lot has gone wrong. Currently, I am hiding in the quiet study room at my University. At least here I know that no one will bother me and I can listen to my Adele & Jack Johnson in peace and just try to forget that this week has been one headache after another.

On the bright side, it is Friday! Thank goodness. I am very ready to take a break from everything, put my feet up, and get a lot done. Ha Ha! Always working, this is the life of a college senior though. I have several projects that are in need of some inspiration. I get to design a "program" for a couple of my classes this semester and I really want to do something that is related to the Make*A*Wish program so that I can include it in my some-day application.

I'm thinking about doing a program for the family post-wish. The wish child may or may not still be alive but I want to work on something that helps the families realize that illness or no illness life is precious and they need to keep living it. We'll see. Most of my projects end up being about the Make*A*Wish Foundation and 9 times out of 10 they end up being very depressing to read. Maybe this time will be different! :)

I'm off to play my french horn for 2 hours and pray my teeth stop hurting. Oh yeah, I got braces. :( That's a whole other blog post though, ha ha!

Rest & Ibuprofen,
