"You are Most Curious Girl.."

Today on Yahoo.Com my eye was caught by this awesome picture

I know right?! BEAUTIFUL!

I thought where is this beautiful beautiful place??

ANSWER: LAKE PLITVICE,  CROATA

Stunning isn't it?

When I learned it was Croatia I started thinking about the only Croatian person I have met...

My dear friends I do not know his name. I've never been a "one night stand" kinda gal, but one night I was convinced that this was something I needed to experience {???} He was gorgeous! But his room was filled with banners..creeds...family crests..flags... non of it I recognized.

"What is that?"

"What does that say?"

"Why did you hang that there?"

"Whats that for?"

"Who is in that picture with the old man?"

"Croatian....?"

"No... no I have no idea where that is.. yes public schools.. America huh.. go figure. We are all very dumb? That's nice."

Admittedly I wasn't helping the Americans win any awards that night with my geography lesson, I have yes since looked it up to find out more.. thanks a ton... guy.

He finally answered me with this one line:

"You are most curious girl I have ever met.... what to do. What to do with the pouty curious girl.."

It felt very Carrie circa Alexander P "You are comic yes?"

We ended up cuddling that night.. no hanky panky.. his choice not mine.

*sigh*

awwww Croatia.. how I have such fond and mixed feelings for you. but the water fall thing is REALLY helping your case!

OTHER THINGS THAT CAUGHT MY EYE ONLINE

This picture {From StyleMePretty} kinda cracks me up. Now I realize they did a "Mad Men" theme, but everyone in the shot is so relaxed and happy. Smiles all around... wait? NOT All around there is one very sultry maid in the back hanging on the limb there, and making mad eyes at the camera LOL Love it! Way to stay in character yo.

See Mad men below. I think it is a really cute idea. I LOVE all the girls hair!! this is more so what I wanted for the last wedding i was in. It was a swing and a miss, but she tried her best

Love it! Love Purple!

Let there be... glares? Everyone at this NYC wedding looks gloom man. Not one happy face in the joint!!

Pretty bulbs though yeah!

Well peeps Last night I stayed up till the wee hour of one am packing A TON into my car for this road trip I am about to embark on.

thanks to heart

The final totally is this:

1 large over sized luggage bag

1 regular sized (by airport standards not mine lol) luggage

3 tote bags

2 purses

1 sleeping bag

2 blankets

1 pillow

1 large beach hat

1 beach chair

2 towels

and a partridge in a pear tree

It will be a snug ride into San Marcos tonight! But how in blazes do you pack light for a 14day vacation where you will on a warm beach, camping on a cold beach, and be in a wedding.. you do that and I bow down to you sister! because I packed it ALL.

While clicking my morning away on weheartit for roadtrip images, I also found this chair..

and me likie!

***

I'm not toooooo sold on #4. But it could be done. For sure #2 and without a doubt #6 and #7. We all know number one was a fail.

Also doesn't this look like fun?? Any beach campers out there loving the idea of one large hammock tree fort?? I am loving the idea! Except I would want to add little lanterns in the trees... maybe an old barrel or two to hold my "things" and some cozy sweater to wrap myself up in.. mmmmm beach camping is the BEST!

Tata Ladies have a wonderful Friday Night, and weekend. You shall get updates as soon as I land in Chico or Orland on Monday!!

Shout Out Post

OK all since I have been comment blocked my blogger {you bastard} I decided to stop and say a few words to some of the blogs I read on the daily.

I am getting ready for my trip to Cali for my friends wedding this weekend so I'll be posting from Nor Cal these next few days and weeks. Yep I'm gone gone from Friday {stroke of 5pm I'm gone!} to June 22nd! Yahoo right! Lots of driving

{I KNOW I'M DRIVING why in blazes did I do that??}

 OH yeah, I am selling my car soon and I want to soak in the beaches of southern Cali, and take one last long road trip.. ahhhhh yes.. that IS why!

Other things to note:

I made this cake from i am baker for a coworkers birthday this week. it is Chocolate Mint Cake and butter cream icing mmmm

awwww yes

 I wrote down movie times for "The Hang Over" (which I totes loved!) then fell asleep on my hand and went to the show with the times stamped onto my face.. twice.. lol talk about LOOKING hung over!!

This note had me very silently cracking up a few nights ago. We have a new roommate named... "Tom". I took a late night shower to find a note that read:

"If I left my under-roos in the restroom this morning Please forgive my irresponcibility. it wont happen again.  Tom"

LOL poor guy I never saw his "under-roos" chillin so he is cool with me. But to see that just a few days after my post on notes, I about died!

OH! Behold some picture from my adorable fun new NYC roommate we'll call him Toby.

Pretty large kitchen so I can continue to bake and cook my little heart away!

Agnes Jean Ann and I wanted to know if the apartment was more "Monica" or more "Joey"... Toby said Monica.. we're thinking a fancy Joey.. lol. but still so cute!

Hard wood floors

sky lights

original brown stone and brick work

crown molding

balcony

... 

also I decided to color my hair while I made the cake and I decided to do this in the nude. I know. perhaps TMI.

but dude it was a really good idea very late at night. I did make some what of a cape from an old t shirt.. that counts right?? also i tried that new foam stuff.. it is not white. it is not easy. it is not drip free... trust me.. you don't want to see a picture of my legs lol.

Luckily there isn't a spot in the bathroom.. it was just me covered from head to toe.

I'll post some pictures of the new hair when I decided to actually style it and it looks nice enough.. till then know my roots {silver} are a med brown red color. the ends are darker.. almost purple dark.. huh?

But I digress:

Here are just 14 of the blogs I read and my little two cents I haven't been able to give the past few weeks!

The first blog {I'm going alphabetically obvs} is a blog I recently found and LOVE.

A Cup of Jo she is so adorable and posts very interesting things.. especially about NYC. I love to read blogs about the city I am soon to be in! She is sweet and creative and has some of the most well dressed friends I have ever seen..

Next is the wonderful Audrey Onassis. “Dude, your course is amazeballs.” This is a direct quote from her today in her constant support, and humor that keeps me going. Her blog is so pretty. So clean {can blogs be clean? well if they can hers is!} and it is where I continue to get inspired to read more, and expand my mind, and taste.

Confessions of a 20 Something is my non stop "bump"  fest love affair with the Lou Lou.

Dear lou Lou~

You crack me up on the regular and help give me ideas on how to improve on my girliness. I can't see a blinged out glass, or perfect hair poofs without thinking of you! How do you do it!

Continuing Courteney is a new blog for me. I found her through another and I am so happy I did.  She finds wonderful sayings and quotes and sorta builds a post around them with a beautiful picture to accompany it all. She is super cute and very wise.. tune in!

But what is inspirational reading and viewing without stopping at CREATE.  I love this girls work. So beautiful and some just the right amount haunting. I am so happy for her when I read that she has been featured in something new, and she continues to be asked to be apart of new projects! plus she is in the city BONUS! I think some of my fancy Joey walls might need one or two of her prints!

I wish I could paint.. I also wish I could dance. I relive all my dance fantasies through Dancing Branflakes blog. Adorable, sweet and always including great artists, authors and ideas on her blog. I love reading what is going through this girls mind, and imagining myself at her Friday dinner posts :)

Honest is the best policy and I am loving the spin E TELLS TALES gives on her day to day. Recent momma and wonderful story teller I usually set aside her posts like a treat I want to save and make sure it lasts. I love reading them each day and am so bummed this is defiantly one I haven't been able to comment on. CONGRATS!!!

i am baker as previously mentioned is an on going love affair that I have with a blog about wonderful baked goods! She is soooo amazing! Every time I make something from her posts it is a big hit! I am constantly referring people to her blog to check it out for them selves. And whats best? She gives all her recipes and tutorials on how to create the look and taste. Thank you baker!!

Jenni Austria Germany is just too funny. I am not sure what I look forward to most, the convos she posts or the stories she tells of her travels between semi fav or FAV countries! I can count on her posts for a laugh and a few "mmmhmmm been there" nods from me. LOVE it! Also she recently cut her nags with an army knife.. tell me this is not ba. as a tried and failed DIY hair goof I say good day!

After all is said and done, sometimes you just want a nice drink at the end of the day.. you know? la petite coquin has wonderful, joyful, and down right magical posts about new drink mixes, wedding posts, and quirky wonderful ideas. I have so enjoyed taking a few minutes to take in the fresh air her posts are each day. She is so sweet and I have MAJOR bang and hair envy of this woman, stop in you ll be glad you did.

speaking of sweet hearts, My Heart Shaped Life. This is very much a person blog where I have enjoyed getting to know the ins and outs of her goings on.  She is so sweet, and so supportive! I LOVE her recent posts on hair and nail ideas (hmmm I must pretty challenged in the hair dept lol so much hair love wow!)

not your average ordinary. ok this girl... this girl you guys is like a mind reader. Either it is something that is plaguing my mind and I find a delightful poem or quote about it on her blog, or it is something I needed to hear and didn't even know I needed to hear it until BOOM I'm faced with it. I am excited for a brunch date set for.. whenever, lol and enjoy following her links to new online stores, songs, books ect ect.

Polka Dots, Pearls, and Pink...OH MY! is another blog that hands down is sooo funny! Jessica cracks me up on the regular. It doesn't even really matter what the topic is, its just the way she says it all.  I mean really now how many comments can you start with "LOL..." I'm sure that is why blogger cut me off.. "This girl has nothing to really comment its all just lols.. lets cut her off and teacher her a lesson.." well played blogger.. THIS time!

 k sorry-   She has a very cute shop linked too that I have yet to purchase something from, but that doesn't mean I don't have my eye on a few things! For many i have hair envy.. for her I have major romper wear ability envy.. {yes.. it is a thing} i try and I try but I swear I am not pulling it off, but dang it if she isn't adorable in them! BLAST!

It doesn't happen every day.. not even every week. but when new posts show up on the chirpy birds blog I hop to it! A mix between a cooking, and story telling blog I love to see her awesome creations and read her all too true, heart warming, or hilarious posts about life. I have turned several people onto her blog and they all love it too. What can I say she convinced me to try Nuetella.. and now I'll never go back!

And so I leave you with this: a heinous picture of my self when I was maybe one years old. My sister sent this to me the other day and I died laughing. My mom tells me I was the happiest baby. From all the photos I believe it because I am cracking up laughing in every picture when I was a baby and small child... oh man.. enjoy that.

and Now..

I have lost the picture on my profile. Really Blogger.. really? If I wasn't so obsessed involved in the blogs I follow I might just cancel the whole flippin thing. Grrrrr

Unfortunately I DO suffer from this lol. I have been told since high school people think I'm mad or mean.. but really I'm not. My concentrated look, or day dreaming look has less whimsical happiness and more doom and gloom than I'd like... oops.

I may have woken up on the wrong side on the bed today, but I am willing myself through beautiful images to make me happy again!

I realize my posts have been somewhat lazy and a little more like a picture gallery really more than anything. So Sorry about that.

I'll get better..

But really who doesn't want to look and day dream about staying in one of these cozy Tree Houses??

Am I right, or am I right?

I LOVED Swiss Family Robinson's when I was a little girl. Coolest thing EVER! Now that tree in Disneyland is the Tarzan tree or some bogus thing.. pshhh I liked the Swiss tree waaaay better. Common Disney.

awww... Disneyland. I miss it. I've gone too many times for a grown person. But I love it. I am five again. Everything is Magical! That IS a princess and I WILL wave at her in the parade and probably talk about how she totes waved back at ME all the way home.

We have a little weird tradition with my dad of closing the park down and being the last ones out. its weird, and the workers hated us I am sure. But who cares that was AWESOME!

What isn't to like? Sure there are long lines, but that's when you get to really know the songs, get the build up of anticipating the ride, you go through weird creepy cave like tunnels, you end up with very odd standing in line pictures with whomever you came with, and possibly the people standing in front, or behind you in line. It's a bonding time for park goers. And you learn another language duh

{"Remain seated please, permanecer sentados por favor"}

a wee childish to cut someone out of a picture {and not even well} but we aren't the best of friends any longer {sad day} and I am not sure how she'd feel about me posting a picture of her on my blog soo.. in any case she had a great pirate face, and was a BLAST to go each year to Disneyland when we were in high school.

I was the ONLY one who got wet on that ride.. and I was in the middle.. how does that even happen? did they all duck out of the way or what?

pretty. see.. magical!

ahhhh Yep feeling happier already :) Thanks Disneyland you rock my tree lovin house
