Good day, mate?

Today's been great. I woke-up early and enjoyed my favorite breakfast with my favorite people, went to an optional review session, cleaned and figured out a way to make money this summer. Haha. I also constructed a list of foods that would be fit for a dinner. I plan on running through the list with Adam tonight so I can get a list together of things I can cook him when we're married. I know, it's a little premature but there is no such thing as being too prepared. Enjoy your night and we'll reconvene tomorrow when my allergies are tamed and I'm in a better mood.

Been shopping.

I have been shopping a lot today... online that is. I looked at houses for rent and to buy. I can't wait to buy a home and decorate it. I hope Martha Stewart's paint line is still out then. There is a beautiful shade of blue that I just love! I plan on picking up samples next time I'm at Home Depot.

I bought a piece of pottery at the student show. I can't wait to find a place for it... and a use for it.

It's almost time to go home (for the last time).

I'm thinking about growing out my hair again. I want to be able to braid it and pull it around my shoulder.

Booze-day.

I don't drink. But if I were 21 I think I'd have to say I'd need a break for a glass of wine. I don't want to make one more 'geology scrapbook' page using fashion magazine photos and writing paragraphs about how rust, fossils and volcanoes are formed. 10 down, 2 to go. For once, I am looking forward to sitting at the front desk.... doing nothing. After this project I am done for the semester homework wise.

I might treat myself to a little cleaning later. I think my desk drawers could use a good organize or perhaps I'll jump on the horse a little sooner than expected and just pack up everything and pretend that I'm moving soon.

I've been jumping from blog to blog finding fun inspirational things and I enjoyed these two. This jacket is hilarious. I'm not sure if you all know but I'm a big fan of IKEA and enjoy using these big blue bags for transporting things. This owl also gave me a big perk-up. I love finding new ways to draw owls.

Going Crazy

I cannot make one more to do list and I cannot read anything else about geology. I don't care about rocks and volcanoes. I also have no desire to cut out photos of soil and write about them and then put time and effort into making scrapbook pages for each one. I think I need a vacation... in my bed with a good book. I have sent a ton of emails today, a form of communication that is my least favorite. There is no fun in typing stale information in a formal style. Perhaps if I could just send a photo with every email I sent... it would at least entertain me.

My camera is calling my name, asking me to become one with its black plastic casing and filling the viewfinder with emotion and creativity. Not tonight Josie, just not tonight.

I want a self-portrait like this.

For a more covered look.

I decided this summer I need a little something more covering. I have a feeling instead of tanning by the pool I will be canoeing and hiking through rivers. Thanks to the new boyfriend I have been introduced to many new and fun activities. These are my new buys.

Polaroid.

I have one picture left in my camera and have been wondering what my subject should be. It amazes me that only the very special things get to be taken because of the price of the film. This will show you what people love the most, feel is important and think looks the best. When I get a fuji instax camera I will not be holding back on buying film. It's well worth the splurge.

Home.

I spent a great weekend at home. Although my dorm is becoming more bare my space at home is getting refreshened with decorations it hasn't seen in months. After unpacking a ton of stuff I started giving my garland, new owls and some old favorites new homes. This is my favorite space. I love my room and I can't wait to be nestled in its comfort again.

Crochet.

Last night Elaine taught me how to make scalloped garland and I fell in love. It is really easy to make and adds a cute little touch. I tacked it up to shoot it but plan on giving it a new home in Indy this weekend.

I also ended up buying new owls from etsy and are also taking them back home as well. I cannot wait to put all of my decorations from the dorm into my room at home. I need all of my creative things in one place.

The last photo is of my favorite owl that Adam got me for my birthday. Its a bead and haven't found the right necklace chain for it yet.

Feeling Bad

I finished 'I Just Want My Pants Back' and I have to admit, it was not that bad. It just took three-quarters of the book to get to the climax and for the most part, I hated the ending. It was boring and he never fell in love. So although not a terrible book, David Rosen does not deserve such hatred I dished out on his first novel.

Horrible Book.

I am exactly half way done with 'I Just Want My Pants Back' and there is still nothing that intrigues me about it. Why am I reading it, you ask. Well because if I don't finish it then I will find myself sitting on my bed, eyeing it on my bookcase from the other side of the room wondering if I was just a page or a chapter from something huge happening. Jason could die or end up gay and I'd never know it. So although the writing is funny but the story line is horrible I will continue on and read the remaining 114 pages. Hopefully I make it through in the next week without tearing my eyes out or dying of boredom. Dear David Rosen, try again.
