It's like..a heat wave.

Long dresses usually scare me or take me back somewhere I don't want to go. I haven't figured out if I like wearing this one yet. You'd think I would know after wearing it different ways 3 days in a row. Life!






Anyway, just got back from a relaxing weekend with my family. We watched home videos (my dad took A LOT when we were young) and I'm happy to report that I haven't changed much. I owe that to my parents. They always made me feel smart and pointed out my personality quirks in a good way that made me feel special. I never felt like I had to try to be somebody I wasn't. Everyone has a unique personality, wouldn't it be great if everyone was encouraged to embrace their quirks? It's definitely a cliche thought but sometimes it's the most obvious things that I need to remind myself of.
I put together a hipstamatic collage. It will be cool when we can get amazing images without having to lug around a huge nikon. Someday, but not today!



In other news, we got chosen for a loft but just today the building decides they want to start charging $100 a month more for parking. I mean, seriously? I've got to mull over whether this is worth it. Also need to stop thinking about having babies for today. I have work to do tonight.

If you can, eat some chocolate today. And peanut butter. I am. It's making me even happier than I already am.

  6. Ohh, but babies are so wonderful. If you & Gabe had babies... they would be like beautiful, singing models playing the piano. ahhh.

    Oh, I made some inspiration from your flower crown. Did you make your flower crown yourself?
