my bathroom

I did this totally randomly after reading color me katie and being quite bored.

It was my turn to clean the bathroom, so I did, and then to brighten up the small oppressive little room I did this:

Now getting ready in the bathroom (instead of my bedroom, which has HORRIBLE lighting) is actually fun and brightens up my day a little.

AH!

Yesterday was Jean-Luc Picard day! How did I not know this fun fact? 

It might be the most awesome of all awesome days. I love Jean-Luc Picard.

My Mac Dock

I have recently started following a blog called color me katie that my friend Carolina blogged about.
I have been so inspired by color me katie's outlook on life! the way that art is infused into her everything is so amazing and I wish I was more like that.

She did a post a while back where she teaches you how to change the images for the icons in your dock (if you have a mac). I can not tell you how excited I was to do this!

I used some old images of my hands that I shot for a different project that didn't end up working out.
I think they are perfect for this. If you have a mac you know that when you open a program in your dock or if one wants your attention, it will bounce. So when the icons in my dock bounce it looks like they are going "pick me, pick me." Now the bouncing is more cute and less annoying.

My handsome Jake is my background right now. Not to pat my own back or anything but I really love this photo of him. The colors and the lighting are just so freaking cool and he looks awesome. 

Here it looks like I'm picking his nose. Hee Hee. 

If you want to try this go to color me katie's post here, where she explains exactly how to do this. 

I'm working on another project inspired by something I saw in her site so check back later-ish to see how that turned out. 

Will you be just fine? Yes I'll be just fine!

I woke up this morning with a completly different attitude about my life. i just felt different. maybe thats because i slept in till 11. 

maybe it's because that sleeping was done in a bed, not on a couch. 

maybe it's because i have a new apartment to move into!

maybe it's because mommy was here and she poured glue into my broken heart. 

but really i think it is because i am happy all on my own, without someone else holding me together. i'm not sure that i thought it was possible and i can't remember the last time i could just be happy without help. it feels good. it is a better kind of happy. and i was a fool to think i could get married before i figured this out. haha. 

so today i say no more to the kitty hanging onto the window ledge that i have always been. 

here are some of my ideas for moving forward...

I spent last night with mark whalberg

okay so i missed my saturday post but i am a busy girl so what do you want from me? here i am in Shannon's big bed-typing typing. 
i got some cute new blonde hair and i like it a lot. and i have some new red flip flops. i also like them a lot.

but i also got a surprise visit and i like it a lot a lot.

i was having a crisis and the momma bear was angry (grrr) and she came to take care of the baby bear. although there really wasn't much to take care of and so she and i are just having lots of fun. yesterday we went shopping and she got me a really cute white dress from american eagle. and i wore it to church today and it was really cute on.
then last night we went to see the m. night shama lama ding dong movie, the happening. i closed my eyes a lot. there was some gory stuff. i liked it though. any movie with mark is good enough entertainment for me.
while i was in the bathroom i took a picture of the cool wallpaper. i hope there was no one else in the stalls that heard my shutter click and thought i was taking dirty pictures of my whoo ha.


i also had to take a picture of the twilight poster. like a geek. but i wasn't a big enough geek to take a picture of me in front of it.
then this morning we had lunch at little america after church. my fruit salad was not only huge but it was pretty.

then at the end of the meal abbys ice cream had melted and so had my sherbet so i made food art.
so far that is the extent of the awesomeness but i am sure more is to come. like moving into my apartment. yay!
