to tell you the truth

iv'e been insanely busy lately it's not even funny. you see i'm moving, well actually my mother is; and i couldn't be more excited for her. this past weekend i went home to her, so i could pack up my closet. yes just my closet, see when i left for college i kinda just threw all the odds and ends i was leaving in the closet. (biggest run-on sentence ever?) so i had to either throw out or pack up all that junk...i threw a majority of it out, thank god. i'm such a pack rat, well not really, but i keep things, every thing. ever since i was little i've been picturing pieces of paper and old shoes looking at me with these big eyes saying, "oh please don't throw me away, i swear i wont be a burden.." but YOU are a burden. you make my mother harass me about "what a disaster my room is...." i mean she isn't lying when she says that, but it's not my fault, it the paper's fault.

i also have a speech and essay due tomorrow, which i have not started. it's kinda a habit of mine to wait till the very last second to start things....it happened all through my school years...senior year was the worst. it even happens getting outta bed in the morning, "yeah yeah, i'll get up, once i finish sleeping for another 34 minutes..." like i even needed that extra sleep? so here i sit Tuesday morning...still nothing done. this is all due in about 14 hours......crap. i've learned not to worry, i get it all done, i really do.

tonight after class i took a trip to a local cafe....Kreuzberg, Ca. it's a stellar place, such a great mood. so i went there thinking i would master this speech, telling myself, "hey you can't leave till you finish this....."

yeah, well after a 24 oz americano and a spinach wrap..i left.

(it's THIS place! where i ordered the fabulous grilled cheese)

after i finished i decided to seriously start.....didn't happen.


fast forward to now.....fail.


Mom if you're reading this....dontcha worry, it'll get done. i pinky promise.

starting now!

oh i didn't mention that i'm really cute when i study.
oh and also i didn't mention that i went to a donut shop around 1 thinking i would finish......
i didn't.

looking on the bright side....i go home in another 3 days!

frozen yogurt! Possibly one of the best treats in the world, depending on how you top it. See i don't just top it, i bottom it, and i often middle it.  Why do the yogurt gods insist that we only put toppings on the top- calling it "toppings"? 

WHY?

well bye.

give a little

often I find myself struggling topics to ramble about. I'll sit where ever it may be and just think. I'll think of how i threw myself out of bed this morning, or how I watched that man loudly talk in the library for a good 45 minutes. Rarely do I come running at my computer, knowing exactly what I want to talk about. This really saddens me, because a lot of the time I'm excited to write to you guys. In fact I love updating this thingamabobber. (sp?)

With that said....what do you guys wanna hear every day? Or maybe just twice a week? Give your input.

Email me and tell me what you wanna see, picture and writing wise. I can't wait to get feedback.

I am one. I didn't dress in my 30 for 30 gear today. Oh well. I don't care, I do but today I was busy. When I come back from a weekend of bliss, I throw my suitcase in the living room. I'm sure my roommates don't enjoy this, but I mean sometimes I gotta. I usually don't even pick it up until about 4 days later. wahh.

Tonight I finally cooked the chicken, that's been marinating for 5 days. Throw some rice under it and call it a meal. I love easy dinners. 

So my weekend was amazing. It truly was the weekend I've been needing for some time now. I spent most of it either hearing my mother talk about the new house she just bought. And all the details, furniture, soil, plants, paint, window coverings, and all the other home-like details. The other half of my weekend was either cuddling, kissing, driving, or doing something else fabulous with Eric. I also met up with Makaela. My best friend since 4th grade. We don't see each other much, mostly because life is just busy. Met up with her, bought some coffee, and walked around little ole' Oakdale. I love weekends where you can just laugh with those special people.

Off to studying and writing essays. Good thing I like writing.

xoxo.
