24 hours

                      in the past 24 hours i have

drove to San Luis Obispo

finished cleaning a disastrous apartment

drove to San Francisco

viewed my potential room/house i'll be living in next year

possibly picked up some furniture

and drove all the way back home

doesn't seem like a lot i know......but it is.

i made tarvis snap these before i left. (insert: 'awwwwwwwww')

can we talk?

(shirt: thrifted. shorts: ross. shoes: TOMs. sunnies: sf random store. purse: denmark.)

about how ive been looking like a complete disaster lately? my reasoning, i'm vegan and it's summer. i'm so lame. do you like my shirt though? it's from some cool thrift store in LA. 

dialogue of the day:

e-erica

b-brother

m-momma

e: "tarvissssss!!! come take my photos for the fence...love you forever!"

b: "i'm not taking any pictures of you, you dont need them today!"

e: "yeah i do, come downstairs......don't you want my blog to be successful? it needs to be consistent...seriously get down here tarvis!"

b: "you're so lame erica...."

m: "you need to start paying him......"

seriously? since when do i need to pay my little brother to take some little photos...that's what brothers are for. i mean that's what i signed up for when signed the 'little brother why are you here' papers.....

have a fabulous saturday!

p.s yes i did call my brother tarvis....spelled.. t-a-r-v-i-s......so much cooler than his actual name, of boring travis.

ice caps in a far away land

sometimes i press the 'new post' button, and i sit wondering what i'm going to write about. still, i have no idea what i should write about. life seems to just be still, nothing too exciting, in fact the only cool thing right now is that my mom can't get our air conditioning to stop...seriously. i personally love it, saying i love cold weather is an understatement, having your house, let alone my room continually be 64 degrees is the best. she's freaking out of course, "the bill is going to be insane...wjdhghsfgasduyfghs." 

so perhaps i'll talk about the weather, and how it's forced me to wear close to nothing lately. it's true people, yesterday i was by the pool. for those of you who are new, i hate water. my reasoning is because i was on a swim team for 769876 years, water just isn't fun for me like it used to be. when others are dying to do a cannon ball, i would rather be reading a book or hanging out by ice caps in some far away land. i'm so sarcastic.

the other day when my brother and i returned from our road trip with my grandparents, my momma wanted to take us out to dinner. so we did. of course i was gross from sitting in a car for 6 hours, but i threw on my new maxi dress, tied a little cover up around it, and paired it when the famous 'city walk' GAP flats.

a cake stand for my mom

this is me eating a cookie. when i walked up to this store these were sitting there, i didn't know if they were edible. i took a chance. i was searching for a cake stand for my momma, which would be her mother's day present. i found one if you're wondering. and that cookie was good.

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms out there; and to all of you who hope someday to raise a couple of miracles yourself.

i can't wait to have a family someday. it has always been my dream to have a little girl. a little one to teach manners to, hold with a special touch, and to nurture until i'm gone. when i think of a little girl of my own someday, i think of bows, little nightgowns with pink hearts, flowery bedspreads, the smell of baby lotion, sweet soft skin, messy morning hair as she climbs up to the table for Saturday breakfast, but most of all i think of the love a little girl has to offer. the endless amount  of laughs and tears that both come because of happiness. i thank my mom from the bottom of my heart, for raising me with such a strong nature. to look beyond flaws in someone, giving me the courage to give people second chances, but most of all saying 'i love you' when you should. 

so today, thank you mom, for all you do. not my life or anyone else's could amount to what i owe you.
