Two Dozen Eggs

Republic of California

So, lately I've been missing a few things.

These trees...

this beach...

this view, of this mountain...

these flowers...

these faces...

doughnuts in general...

this place and this team.

The only logical conclusion is that I miss this place:

What I Should Be Doing: running, making lunch, returning my library books, oh and getting a job.
What I'm Listening to: Quiet Company, Les Sages, and some California-related tunes

How I Feel Sometimes About Being a Grown-Up

Yea, that's about it.

I need a job...

There are no words

I love that feeling that swells and bubbles in my chest after finishing a great book.
It makes me want to write.
It makes me want to think.
It makes me want to shout from the rooftops and change the world.
I wish I could describe it better...
It makes me feel powerful.

May the fourth be with you.

how is that everything comes down to one week and a few exams?


how is that despite the impending doom of my four remaining finals, i'm looking up pictures of the haircuts i might want to try?


how it that i had a cheeseburger for breakfast and a couple of spoonfuls of cookie dough and a diet coke for dinner?


how is that my favorite sweater has been in the dirty clothes pile for nearly three months, yet today, of all days, i "find time" to do four giant barrels of laundry?



how is that, hmmm?

Well you know about change,
it always seems to stay the same.
It tears us apart
and labels us with a brand new name.
It strips away reason
and leaves us in shame.
Oh and this changin'
it's all that remains...

--Kelly VO, Broken

Kelly definitely got that right: change is constant.
Life is a continual discovery of our own changes.
You have them; I have them.
So guess what...

I paint sometimes. With watercolor.
I <3 Nacho Libre.
Go-To Snack: pita with hummus
These days, outfits feel incomplete without boots.
Apparently, I love scary movies.
Also, I've been putting mayonnaise on my sandwiches lately...



Things I didn't used to particularly care for (or once loathed entirely), but now I find myself choosing:

Diet Coke
Swiss cheese
hummus
tomatoes
mushrooms (only raw)

I think one of my favorite things to do each year, is to look back and find things that I did last year for the first time. Some things will never happen again, and some will hopefully become a part of who I am for many years to come.

2010 Firsts:
-finished the BOM
-bridesmaid
-worked as a certified health care professional
-visited Yosemite & Sequoia National Parks
-Freebirds
-straight A's in college
-drove to [and from] UT all by myself
-made a dress (so cute)
-made two blankets and pair of pajama pants
-ate Turkish delight
-5-hour energy

Just some more Reflections...

Current favorites
