scatty scat scat

brain's too mushy for an opening line.

or complete sentences.

so here goes:

children's lit paper finished.

a few other little assignments finished before deadlines.

france loan #1=attained.

france loan #2= just finished the application.

stubbornly haven't worn my winter coat all week, 

but also haven't frozen up, so that's a start.

acceptable hair day today, even without washing it.

madly in love with b, amongst the dumb schoolwork.

nails freshly painted with favorite spring/summer color.

comfy bed ready to accept me with open arms.

genesis 1:31 "god saw everything he had made, and it was very good"

for now, i'm ignoring the bads cause i know they're actually very good too.

plus, denial works in most cases, right?

every single thing he made is very good.

even me on days i don't shower.

hallelujah.

nighty night

p.s. i neeeeeed this.

[the green grass, obvi]

p.p.s. sorry i'm so bold happy tonight

i am Yours and Yours forever

it's been a crazy week.

next week, i have so much big school stuff due and big tests to take,

so i've been trying to be a good student and work ahead.

(like the nerd i secretly am)

but being in the library every waking hour that i'm not in class, working, or eating

gets exhausting.

it drains a lot out of me.

and i thought i was 

an extrovert: someone who gets energized by being around lots of people,

but actually i'm not.

i need some time to relax and get my thoughts back in order.

to read my magazines, or lord help me, have enough time for a real book,

 watch dumb videos on youtube,

and spend real quality time with people i love.

not just "hey let's sit by each other in the library" time,

or "let's talk for 5 minutes on the phone and call it catching up".

so tomorrow will be a day of visiting my grandma and cuddling with b.

sorry if that's not in your plans b, but now it is :)

and here's a pretty picture to break up all this writing.

i don't remember where it's from, but it seems like true love.

second for the night: another list!

cassie at the veda house made a list of things she and her boy are going to do this spring.

to remind her to stop and smell the roses, even in this crazy life.

since spring to me means all of the time up until b gets deployed,

i've already been making a list in my head.

here goes:

1. go for a picnic at the Lilac Festival. and everywhere else.

2. go on long bike rides 

3. ride b's motorcycle everywhere :)

4. soak up the warmth that builds up in my car 

when it's still kind of chilly outside, but the sun is shining in my windows

5. then roll the windows down and find a good soundtrack to my day

6. make an awesome going away gift

7. stop wearing my god forsaken boots

8. don't take time to do my hair, just let it be crazy and embrace it

9. go to the beach and eat some Abbotts, even if it doesn't get above 50 before may

10. less work. more being free.

goodnight world

black and white and beauty all over

 i'm doing everything i can not to start my huge research paper for children's literature.

i'm a psychology major.

 i thought this would be an easy elective.

i was wrong.

so here is some procrastination at it's finest:

 

from here

a) i have the biggest crush on johnny depp.

the biggest.

and this picture?

brilliant.

their hair, their beauty (both combined and individually), the cigarette and teacup?

i'd die to be in this moment.

except not literally

from here, but really here

b) holy moly.

this is the ballerina project.

"each photograph is a collaborative work of dance, fashion design and photography played out against the city's landscape."

and it's stinking gorgeous.

it's the last one that really gets me.

i feel like i need a c), but i got nothing.

it's paper time.

but for the sake of pretty things, here are two pretty blogs.

i'd like to build a fort

i'm the opposite of claustrophobic.

give me a little cave, nook, or corner to sit in 

and i'm home.

when i was little, i used to take a bunch of pillows, a good book and a reading lamp

and shut myself in my closet.

i'd decorate it with pictures i colored and photographs of my family,

make a little sign for the front that'd say

"jackie's house, please knock"

and hide away for the day.

i wasn't really hiding from anything ,

(although the psych major in me does make me question my motives)

but i enjoy taking a tiny little space and making it cozy.

making it feel like mine.

maybe that's why i'm in love with these engagement pictures that

i found on Green Wedding Shoes.

taken by photographer Paige Newton, they're in a fort!

these two little lovebirds made a cute little fort in their attic

and are just laying around, being in love.

here are a few of my favorites:

i'm down for a night in.

just build a fort, play this song (even though b hates it),

 maybe rent a few movies, or bring a good book,

and spend the night being in love with my wonderful boyfriend.       

happy friday to everyone :)

listography

i know i know.

i posted a very wordy post approximately 2 seconds ago.

what else could i possibly have to say?

but a) this thing is addicting

and

b) i love lists.

so much so that both my best friend and my boyfriend got me this book made up of lists to fill in for Christmas.

No Small Dreams does a current status post made up of a list every so often

and i'm tagging along

because if there's a list out there, i'm on it.

here goes:

Current guilty pleasure: sundresses. rochester's not in the mood, but every clothing   store out there is. as am i. i need them all.

have a beautiful gray spring day!

Current color: dusty rose. comme ca

Current playlist: Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. over and over again.

Current read: do my textbooks count? i have no time for fun reading right now, sadly.

Current drink: iced mochas. so good and i don't understand why!

Current food: i would be content living on pasta for the rest of my life.

Current favorite show: well, Glee's getting a little obnoxious, but i still can't help but eat it up

Current wish list: weather at least 25 degrees warmer. or just to move to texas tomorrow.

Current needs: some toothpaste and my toothbrush. i hate dirty teeth

Current triumphs: driving around with my gas tank on E for the last 3 days and still not running out of gas

Current bane of my existence: money for france is due in less than a month and i got nothing

Current celebrity crush: James Dean. just look at him.


Current indulgence: does biting my nails count? i've been doing it since i was like 3 and can't stop. i'm not sure i want to though.

Current blessing: i just made my schedule for my last year of college and it's seriously gonna be a breeze

Current outfit: lacy rose tank, light brown cardigan and black leggings from Target, brown boots from a flea market (i think), and a pink flower headband from Forever 21

Current excitement: having time tonight to get things done. i admit i'm a nerd

Current mood: headache-y, but happy

http://www.deargirlsaboveme.com/  i cry laughing nearly every time i go on this site, but b is not amused. chose your reaction wisely.

Current link:

have a beautiful gray spring day!
