Cutest Patent Wedges

Okay...So I'm beyond obsessed with these amazing pair of shoes. Since I saw them on Friday I've been daydreaming of outfits to pair with. I want them more so for work, and am debating on whether or not to purchase. The only road block...I'm trying to move out of state in the summer. To buy, or not to buy? The responisble thing would be to not buy. But, ugh...I'm a girl, with many needs and wants. Shoes are a must! Plus, I am in neeeed of a new pair of shoes for work. My boyfriend would kill me if he knew. It's probably best that I just continue to daydream for now...

Coffee+Cake=Love

The only two things seemingly able to get me out of this weeks funk is coffee and cake. Thank goodness it was by boss' birthday! Which means; cake, cake and more cake. And what better way to stay awake, but with a cup of coffee always in hand. I have been having the most hectic past few weeks. I'm officially becoming a workaholic. Four days of work, combined with two long days of class gives me only one day off to study and be somewhat human. I'm semi-exhausted. But at the same time happy to be busy. I've officially gotten my sewing machine and am ready to begin the sewing process (there goes my one free day). After class I'm heading over to the fabric store to take a glimpse at a few fabrics. Woo hoo!

The Zen In Me

I have the sudden urge to sew. It’s been dwindling for a while. Sewing use to be a huge, huge hobby of mine. But once I moved back home I tucked it away in storage and said goodbye to the hobby for a few months. Now, I’m dying to get back at it. I miss the zen it brought me. My little getaway/stress reliever (although sometimes stressful). Maybe I’ll take a quick trip to my storage unit and dig it out of its grave. On a second note, I’ve been dying to buy a cute romper. But although wanting to be adventurous, I’m afraid it just might not fit my body type right. Plus, I would be the type to purchase one and only wear it to the beach or pool. I try to be experimental, but for some reason I always get too nervous to just give it a try. I am officially a work-a-holic, with only one day a week off now. I don’t mind being busy, it keeps me in tact with reality. But cramming in a study session into one single day, along with my innate mother cleaning and re-painting the house, was no fun at all. I can no longer breath out of both nostrils, thanks to the large inhaling of dust and paint fumes. I’m crossing my fingers to do well on this exam tomorrow.

Sundays...

While most spend their Sundays in church or out to breakfast with family, I spend my Sundays in a dreadful real estate office (somewhat exaggerating on dreadful). It’s quiet and only me, my coffee and a non-stop ringing phone. I’m wanting to get into homework, but as usual I’m procrastinating. I have more than enough homework to fill the endless time. Ugh to Sundays! Thanks to daylight savings, I’ve lost an hour of sleep which entitles an extra cup of coffee (mmm…yum). My shopping obsession has come to an extreme halt. Although I still ponder of things I wish I could buy, with wanting to move I must stop buying! This summer is the summer for me. I’ll be set with a degree and off to an apartment of my own (yippee!). So for now I’ll just have to sit and browse the things I want to purchase after this summer.

A Rainy Day In

Slowly attempting to get through homework. Today feels endless with my mother being home. I’m currently thinking of those days when the roomie and I would sit and watch endless amounts of movies, have study sessions that seemed too fun to be “study sessions.” I remember I would walk around doing whatever I pleased, enjoying one cup of coffee after another. Now I have an innate mother, who cannot stand the smell of coffee. Currently she’s coughing exaggeratingly speaking of how bad it smells. Who doesn’t enjoy the smell of coffee!!! For God’s sake my mother used to be a coffee addict back in her college years. She would drink raspberry mocha’s as if they came out of your kitchen faucet. Maybe this is her attempt to slowly push me out of the house…hmmm? Summer, please come soon! I miss having my own place. And once this degree is out of the way, at the end of the summer I’ll be saying “adios” with a large smile and grande mocha in hand. Now if I could just get through this homework. Two big tests this week. One was luckily take home and another is all based on crummy memorization of crap I’m never going to remember after this semester is done and gone. Don’t you just love pre-requisites? The only thing dragging me through this semester is my amazing literature class. It’s the “ahhhh” to my brain. I absolutely love it, and love is not even close to how I really feel. I can currently hear the rain quietly pounding on the roof. Yes, I love rain. It’s why I’ve always felt Seattle is the place for me. Coffee and rain screams Seattle! Alright, I suppose I shall stop drifting away from the important stuff…homework, school and a bunch of unnecessary bull. Cannot wait until summer…

Alice In Wonderland Premier

Is anyone else as excited as I am to see this movie? Another quirky blend of crazy from Tim Burton. This is a must see on my check list. I remember growing up with the movie, now I feel as though this version is meant for my generation. My curiosity in the movie made me interested in Helena Bonham Carter. She's one big mystery to me. Everything about her makes me wonder what a day in the life of Helena would be like. I can only imagine?

Homemade Coffee Syrup

I made the most delish latte this morning. With being out of coffee syrup and not really wanting to substitute with creamer. I decided to make my own. A little vanilla extract, approx 1 tablespoon (or one vanilla bean gutted), a cup of sugar and a cup of water, along with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Simmer until dissolved and poof, the best vanilla coffee syrup made. Close to Starbucks and makes every latte a pinch more special. My culinary skills are quite unique.

Rainbow Flowers

How amazing are these? Roses with natural pigments implanted into them to create this beautiful blend. I want these!!!
