umbrellas and snapshots.

i was looking about my room, wondering what in the world i could post about that would be more entertaning than colored pants and new shoes and i came about this.

i know, i know. it looks like a clutter board. i mean, it kind of is, but if an item is cool enough to make it on "the board", it must be worth while. 

i don't particularly love toms, but i do love what they do and most of the time how they look. 

i've got a magnet of my papa law - he played in the majors for the pirates. over christmas, a fan of his from back east send him a whole bunch of magnets that had my papa's picture on them. i am so happy to have it.  

the two dollar bills i received from my great grandma, nanny. she didn't know me too well and had severe alzheimer's as she was older, but every birthday, without fail, i opened a birthday card and prayed that the signature two dollar bill was nestled inside. my grandma now carries on the tradition and i get excited every time i open a birthday card!

i'm saving my zimbabwean 50 billion dollar bill for a time when i am in real debt and need some extra cash ;) 

some pics of me and my girls, a note from my bestie, receipts from the bookstore for book sellback in april, and postcards from europe cover that clutter board. 

i just worry about getting older and forgetting things - i don't want to do that! i am posting items in advance, hopefully helping me along in "remembering", not forgetting. ideas are much better remembered than forgotten. 

in looking at my postcard from dublin, i am reminded how fascinating the doors in europe are.

and as a side note, this quote has never hit me so hard as it did today. 

eesh.

i have been slacking on this, blog, you know. 


trying to manage a couple night classes, work every day, school, and of course zumba, has been a little harder than i expected. 


my brain is still not functioning to full capacity. that can't be good, can it?? it's still enjoying a christmas break when i am trying real hard to be studious and make it to class on time, or just to class? 

i am absolutely loving these shoes i purchased.

they are still working their way into my every day, uh, business attire. 

oh, and these pants! 

i am on a colored pant rave right now! 

colored skinnies from express - the royal blue, or purple, or i guess all of them could very well be my next purchase.

i think i've pretty much skipped over approximately 3 weeks and 2 days of my life on here. i know you are a little upset about it, but sorry. i don't want to bore you with overdue christmas/holiday posts. 

however, me and a couple friendy friends took a trip to idaho for the holiday weekend to visit a friend. it was a wonderful break, a relaxing couple days, and of course, always, a good time!

me and al pal. 

p.s. please excuse the poor picture quality. mobile photos just aren't the best. i have been slacking on photog taking too. oopsies. 

here we go again.

i have completely neglected and not fulfilled my blogging fix for quite a while. 


i barely survived finals, enjoyed a wonderful christmas break with friends, family, games, treats, and more. 


i tried to document the events as best as i could, but we'll see how the pictures really turned out. 


pictures to come :)
