a Post of Lovely


The past few days I haven't been feeling too hot.
Coworkers thought it would be fun to post the Top Ten Symptoms of Pregnancy on my desk when I was on a um..  eh hmmm,  third potty break this morning.

Funny as it is having seven of those ten, I don't think I am hatching any mini mes anytime soon.
If not through anything then sheer will to continue with my plans to move to NYC in October.

My sister and I have started to map out what our room will look like (a childhood past time of ours) and decided rather then trying to fit our cloths into one small NYC closet and then create a bedroom... why not make the room a giant closet.. that just so happens to also have beds to sleep in lol.

I am so excited about what we came up with! I am currently scouring the Internet for images and ideas to put together as a show and tell for my blog.



However, I have been temporarily stunned by this wedding on StyleMePretty. Photos were taken by Brittney Dawson Photography and they are just... lovely! I can't think of a better word to describe it.

her dress makes me rethink the ... um.... five few wedding ideas and themes I have.


The vail shots are my favorite! Like this one here

I am almost done finding some inspirational pictures for my new room post so stay tuned!

A Meditation on a collection of stupid words


"You, with your words like knives



And swords and weapons that you use against me,

You, have knocked me off my feet again,

Got me feeling like I’m nothing...."

Oh yes Taylor Swift, you are wise.
Mean people suck.




from

However, ignorant mean people are some other kind of ugly beast in this world.
Eck. It is the rotten luck of myself and my housemates to now be sharing our house -o- awesomeness with one of these very monsters.

We call this monster Tim. For real. That's his name. Tim...ass hat. No. Name calling is bad..it keeps the ugly monster alive...

"...I bet you got pushed around,



Somebody made you cold,

But the cycle ends right now,

You can’t lead me down that road,

You don’t know, what you don’t know..."

I am a pretty understanding person. I have been told for years and years that this is true. Teachers, coaches, parents, strangers, friends, family... I have been told. But what I do not understand is any kind of racism or sexism.. or any other ism. just don't. stop right there. cant deal with it. cant hear you out when you are using such hateful words. this is not communication. if you truley stand behind your behavior and your opinion then lets discuss it like adults shall we? You know in calm "inside" voices.. with give in take. moments where I listen and moments when YOU listen.

But hateful shouting and.. ahem! spitting.. is just really not the adult way to go about it. I feel i have earned this adult badge i now sport on my 24year old self daily.

Translation: The monster roommate Tim yelled some very hateful and misguided things at me Tuesday night (what a Greys Anatomy buzz kill right!) There was plenty to be happy about! Greys was on!... a giant Haboob {means dust storm} was headed to town {pictures below}!! I had one last drumstick left!!! But  this happy feeling did not last. Apparently the Tim was upset that I was "gloomy" {his word not mine.. I don't say gloomy.. I don't think?}on the 4th of July. lol This is just silly people. A recount of everything that happened would be... mmmm a waste of time to play out here on my blog, home home away from home for my thoughts {home meaning my head of course} and this is my happy place. So fuck that!

I did however need to flex my venting muscle and get a few of those little thoughts OUT of my home home {my mind} so that I don't have to spend one more min thinking about it.. why?  because....

"...Someday, I’ll be, living in a big old city,
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.
Someday, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me,
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.
Why you gotta be so mean?"









whats to come? its only up hill from here folks.. because I have found GREYS!!!!

Christina.
Funny
To the point

By far my favorite!

weeks in Pictures

As you know every few months I go onto MSNs "Week in Pictures" to see some of the amazing shots taken around the world. Here are a few of the ones that really caught my eye!

This picture reminds me of all the southern gal blogs I read!

Racing accessories

Kiss seen around the world
Scott Jones and Alex Thomas kiss during a riot in Vancouver, Canada, on June 15. Riots broke out in the city after their hockey team, the Vancouver Canucks, lost in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. This photo went viral on the web, but Jones later told "Today" show's Matt Lauer that rather than giving his girlfriend a passionate kiss, he was just trying to calm her down. “It was pretty scary for her, and it seemed like the right thing to do,” said Jones.

This shot.. otherwise known as my largest fear... looks kinda cool...and terrifying!

Aground in India
Beachgoers feed pigeons in Mumbai where a cargo ship ran aground due to rough weather on June 12. The ship was being tugged to the Alang scrapyard in Gujarat from Colombo when it broke away and drifted toward the Mumbai coast.

 
This shot breaks my heart, and humbles me at the same time... We can only do so much in the face of nature

Record flooding in Minot
Homes are surrounded by floodwater as the Souris River crests on June 26 in Minot, N.D. The Souris River surpassed its 1881 record level of 1,558 feet above sea level and flooded about 4,000 homes in the city

 
 
I am sooooo IN love with these shots of beautiful full and wild flower arrangements! They make my heart happy. Thank You StyleMePretty for posting these shots

Also.. I LOVE that chair! I am on the look out for some cute new furniture to style my new place in NYC. I'll arrive with the best of the best of my shoe collection and a handful of clothes... so there will be much to decorate and style!
Dressers/Mirrors/Clocks/Bedding/TV/Night Stands/Vanity/Chairs/Sofa/Curtains
All of it!


Hope everyone had a safe and relaxing holiday weekend!
