i love you like a love song baby.

... "in 2 years i will love you. 5 months ago i loved you. in 5 years, 2 days and 6 minutes, i will love you. i will love you when i'm 90 and sitting on my porch in a big white house on a lake, i will love you. i just hope you are there for all the time i will love you." -unknown

had much fun last night with my girlies. we went to trattoria nervosa (Rebecca's recommendation - my work wife has amazing taste) and the food was delicious! mmmm pumpkin ravioli and sangria... we headed back to ingie's condo and we had patron and gold schlogger with apple juice (yum!), played dress up (sorry, no pillow fights) and went out again. who knew we would end up back in the 90s? we proceeded our night of sparkly walls, dangling paper cranes and ghetto dancing. it was magical.

the lover is sick; i've learned that a tiny cough in a 6'6 man = a full out week of flu for me. so i stayed away and spent the day diy'ing. i'm going over to make him lunch tomorrow though. he has work tomorrow and thursday and i doubt that he'll be better by tomorrow by the way he sounds over the phone. poor puppy.

my kind of xmas.

eve of homemade pizzas and cookies, rolling around and lots of lovin'.
christmas of good ol' home cooking, shots of patron, 90s busta rhymes, pumpkin pie, skating and playing chess. and lovin' my baby to sleep.

yes, please.

very merry christmas indeed.

sequins, sequins, tassels, and lace.

... DIY projects! I dragged the lover to fabricland yesterday for my materials. I think he loves me.

We ate all day, cuddled, bought christmas cards and nail polishes. He has the patience of a rock.

Great weekend all in all, getting some work done now that I'm home, have to get ready for another busy week.

random tangent.

... i know that people have good intentions of helping others and we all have a desire to feel important or the need to feel like we're doing something important in the world.

however, if you think that going to another country on a one time mission is the only way to establish the previously mentioned things, perhaps you should re consider whether or not you're doing so for selfish reasons. in other words, I think you're doing it wrong.

Anything But Clothes

... I've decided that I will "shop my closet" for my holiday attire.

Planning 2 trips in 2012 and it's time for me to tighten up my boot straps.

Tonight is SEC's volunteer appreciation event which is abc themed. I have to teach and head over there so my outfit will have to involve clothing.

Things are coming into place, and I'm feeling good about them.

I have a brilliant DIY project that I'll be working on when I have some free time and I'm so excited!
