i digress

First off, let me just tell you that Pottery Barn is one of my loves. Walking into the actual store is like walking into a world of bliss. Rich wood furniture. Gorgeous bedding. Stunning table top arrangements. Clever desk organizers. I've always been a big fan of home decor, and can't wait to design the interior of my own home one day. Being seventeen though, I've got a while to dream and be inspired.
Anyways, back on track. The newest copy of PB Teen came in the mail today. I saw this and just about jumped out of my skin. Tree branches around my wall decal. Why didn't I think of this? I'm really considering this idea for my desk area. The only thing holding me back is, how in the world did they get the branches on the wall?! I am however a little anxious about the idea of bolting trees into the sheet-rock. Does anyone have any other ideas?

I was reading through Carlotta's blog earlier and found something remarkable. Polyvore. Honestly, I've never heard of it before. So I've been playing around with it for the past few hours. I will go ahead and just admit that this could will most definitely easily become an addiction for me. You'll be seeing some of my trend set designs here in the future.


People. It's 71 degrees right now. Seventy one. I almost feel guilty sitting inside blogging when the weather is begging me to come out. This is not typical winter weather, but it is being thoroughly enjoyed.


I finished Marley and Me. I completely teared up at the end. The feeling of loosing a pet is one I know, and its awful. This book is one of my all time favorites. I've dug into another one already. Eat Pray Love. My mom watched the movie- I haven't seen it yet. Sadly, I don't think I've ever read a book before watching the film. This is apparently the best way to go about it- so I will. This is a good novel. A little too new age for my taste, but a sweet story really. The author describes food like no other. I swear my mouth was watering as I read the chapter about the Pizzeria in Italy.

We have a new mouse. Not the fluffy white sort, the slick black-smells-like-a-new-car kind. I'm here laughing at myself, it feels so out of the ordinary using a new model. I guess I'll get use to it.

1. time for change again
Let's face it. I can't really make up my mind about anything blog design. The no-title posts really appealed to me for a while, but lately its just been bugging me. So, I'm letting my creative juices flow with the titles. I'm hoping to alternate three or four post titles each time I blog. This one is where I digress, share my thoughts, and current events. Oh, and the fonts may change from time to time. {Please let me know if something doesn't show up, as I've been having a bit of trouble with certain font types.}

2. happy birthday to paper bird

My awesome friend turned eighteen today! Holy cow, you're officially an adult. You can vote now, get a tattoo, buy fireworks, and all that other fun stuff. But in all seriousness, you're one of the most thoughtful and kindest persons I know. Happy Birthday PB, love you girl.

3. never too old for fairies 

Okay. I realize I'm seventeen, but I've always loved this book. It's called Fairyopolis, a flower fairy journal. It's written like an old scrapbook, with lift the flaps, old photographs, & other tiny treasures on the pages. I love how vintage and unique it looks.

5. semester two begins.

School started this Monday. Eh, I'm having mixed feelings about it. I'm really excited to see all of my tutorial friends again next week. I loath really don't care for Spanish. Everyone says its the easiest language to learn. I think not. On a lighter note, I started Health this semester. So far it's been easy breezy, because it seems like doing a recap of Anatomy, which I started in the fall. And reading, well, it's always been my favorite. I got the complete collection of Edgar Allan Poe for Christmas, and am loving it. 

6. the origin of colds
"It's cold outside. That's why we get colds." Little S stated this as he wiped his nose for the hundredth time today. Yes, its just that time of year. A good excuse to drink lots of peppermint tea.
