in the end

i hope everyone had a great christmas. i really enjoyed my time away from manhattan and spending time with loved ones.

i am back home {for now} and am spending my time getting things in order {well trying to}

unfortunately, i had to take my christmas tree down , it was very sad looking because it had been up since the week before thanksgiving. i guess i am not celebrating the 12 days of christmas this year... i stopped at 4.

as the year comes to a close i am fully embracing the end of 2010 and am looking forward to 2011. so many exciting things to look forward to... but first, i must find a location for my new years day hike {and find my camera}

take time

it's amazing what you can do with free time...

my holiday break officially started on saturday and i have a long list of things i would like to accomplish over break...

my list consists of art projects to complete, books to read, movies to watch, friends and family to visit, places to explore, etc.

it's nice to have time to do the things i have dreamed about for months and to visit with people without the constant nagging of unfinished tasks.

i plan to take time this break and make some amazing memories.

Love and Us

"He loved her for almost everything she was & she decided that was enough to let him stay for a very long time"

i am really looking forward to spending time with adam over christmas break. i miss him.

my happy place

ever since i was a little girl i have loved to take bubble baths...

it was a place i could be myself...

a place to get away from everything {and everyone}

i could be a mermaid..

or a fish..

i could close my eyes and be anywhere...and nowhere at the same time.

when i feel sick a hot bath always makes me feel better...

i can't imagine not having that place that i can escape...

the place i feel at peace..relaxed..

content...{not to mention a little cleaner}

today i am thankful for my bath tub - my happy place. one of them anyway.

can't trust monday

"every other day of the week is fine,

yeah but whenever monday comes,

You can find me cryin' all of the time"

i don't know what it is about today, but it feels like a monday.

i feel out of body.

lost in thought.

lethargic.

i slept in. {on accident}

i missed my class tonight - simply because i forgot {i hate that feeling}

despite my monday - i am one day closer to the end of the week - and the end of the semester.

i hope you all had a great monday {maybe better than mine}

page turning + creative yearning

"i bend the pages

of yet another book"

here i am surrounded by papers and books {and ironically listening to the books}

working on the last few assignments of semester two in graduate school...

i have been in a creative mode for the last few weeks and while i've been working on my {not so creative} papers i find myself doodling and sketching on the side...

i am getting excited for christmas break so i can channel some of that creativity. . .into something more than a few sketches...

i will try to share some of what i have been working on {hopefully soon}

well back to work i go. bye bye for now.

{my} friday

well it's friday {hooray} and i am one week away from being done with this semester.

i have plenty of work to do...{three writing assignments and a thesis proposal to be precise}

but right now i am cherishing today... {my} friday.

and it just so happens that i am going roller skating tonight.

how old school of me...

{happy friday friends}
