hello birthday.

so for all who don't know me...

i love my birthday.

it has become some what of a joke within my extended family and i make sure to let EVERYONE know just when the big day is, usually in a countdown manner.

this year i will be 22. i feel like thats an 'old age'. like i have to officially grow up now. blah.

since i have this lovely blog, i figure... why not put up a birthday list on here. right?

here are a few ideas:

(not that i need any of these things- purely WANT not NEED)

'hot tools' curling iron

'keen' water sandals

anything 'lululemon'- especially the 'instride jacket'

coffee cards for my 'minor' addiction

'skaggen' watch

'mizuno' running shoes

iphone4 armband case

running tights

'longchamps' bag

'steve madden' boots

'around the world' ticket/ ticket to europe/ ticket to south america/ ticket to new zealand/ ticket to anywhere in the world where i could go on an adventure

like i said... purely want.

i don't think there's a thing in this world that i need right now.

ive got more than i deserve.

but its always fun to dream big. yea?

happy 20 days until my birthday;)

have a great day!!!

happy monday.

its been a great start to spring quarter especially because of the great weather and extra day off last week- thank you cesar chavez!

but on another note, ive been uninspired, blah, and grumpy recently. trying to turn that around asap cause that is no fun for me and those around. but do you every have a little time like that? i think i need some emily time in the near future.

however here are some things making my monday happy.

1. a tall glass of nesquick. it always brightens my day!

2. fun games/activity classes (flag football and fitness)- yes i get credit for taking them. woo!

3. fajita night with just the four of us roomies. so nice to have a little time with just my girls. and the great weather was awesome to top it off allowing us to eat out on our fancy porch. just perfect!

4. brandon will be here thursdayyy. and hes doing great on finals. wahoo!

5. sourdough bread. a loaf appeared at our house and im 'making mama proud' eating those pieces of heaven. its the small things right?

6. girls brunch at my casa this weekend. more to come on that but i am excited!

have a great night and keep those "corners up" :)

happy monday.

happy, happy monday to you all:)

fabulous, relaxing spring break.

fridge of yummy new groceries.

girly spring brunch right around the corner.

great roomies and friends.

fun birthday dinner with friends tonight.

some crafty, cooky projects in the near future.

yea, im happy.

oh and happy spring!

me.

today was a 'me' day.

i got to sleep in late.

go to linnaea's for breakfast with dad. complete with rice pudding. yum.

picked up lunch at sally loo's and ran errands for mom.

shopped around rainy slo for myself. yeee.

swung by paper sky for all the goods to make some spring brunch invitations.

took a little nap. on the couch with warm blankies.

moseyed around blogs, life inspiration ideas, grad school sites, and recipes.

made a great veggie quiche and crisp salad for dinner with the 'rentals.

browsed 'b and n' tonight and grabbed a book and some guilty pleasure magazines.

off to bed soon with a cup of my favorite mint tea.

rested, replenished, and rawrrring to go for spring quarter.

goodnight friends.

have a great night and entertain the idea of a 'me' day.

they really are great and needed.

p.s. 'me' days are always the start of a travel plan... summer 2011 i think you may need an adventure!

happy (monday) thursday.

alright, alright im a few days late but for good reasons this time.

today is a happy thursday because...

i'm on spring break! owoww!

yay for two great friends getting engaged this past weekend. i am sooo happy for you joe and kelly!!!

i got to spend my whole first part of break with brandon!

it was the best. ever.

chocolate chip pancakes, soccer, fort building, snuggling, basketball, froyo, grad school meetings, movie nights, just to name a few.

got to peruse the santa monica farmers market, cruse around 3rd street, and enjoy delicious crepes with my sister yesterday. imperfect, farmers ranunculas? yes please!

brandon and my mid west, cardiovascular disease inducing dinner. i made the good ol' mashed potatoes, fried chicken, cream corn, grads rolls, and roasted brussels sprouts. we created these masterpieces- grands roll covered in mashed potatoes with homemade cream corn on top. stop. don't judge until you try it. im a big proponent for starch on starch foods and if youre from the mid-west, i guarentee you'll l-o-v-e.

as of tomorrow... my birthday is exactly one month away. and we all know how much i love my birthday month. i milk it for all is worth... yeeee!

happy happy happy.

and spring break weather, im ready for you to act like spring break weather.

please and thank you.

end in sight.

study, study, study.

finals week is almost done.

friday cannot come fast enough.

until then a little st. patty's celebration at 6am tomorrow...

i think so:)

have a great st. pattys tomorrow!

and if your still in the middle of your finals week...

take a break, have a little fun, and good luck!
