I have a problem...

Dear November,
Get here quickly.

Thanks.

Bestie Bear

I get to see this lovely lady tonight! :)
We're going to make butterbeer and have girl talk!!


Last night I started painting the inside cover of my new art journal. I think I want this one to record summer/fall and maybe winter of 2010, and also focus on FUTURE goals and dreams. I need a place to put those things, ya know? So I thought it would be cool to paint some futuristic things.

Love yous,

-Mae

Hi, Pretty.

I miss having wicked long hair.

Speaking of which, this is lovely:

Copilots

Sometimes I run across a movie that I think is really important.
This is one of those movies, and it sure was a beauty.







I think everyone has or has had a Ryan Bingham in their life.
I sure have.

Nesting

I am always getting ahead of myself.
Always.

I can't help picking up vintage pyrex pans when I go thrifting, and I'm constantly lusting over beautiful things to fill my non-existent apartment. It's sick. But I can't control myself. :)
AND, given the fact that my main artistic outlet is design, and housing, and decorating, it just seems natural to plan my future space. Jumping the gun? Yep. But two years goes by quicker than you think.



This is the plan, folks.

*Sigh* Here are some beautiful things I've purchased lately due to a nesting fixation lol...


The first time I saw this I was so inspired.

Patchwork glasses, eeeeee!

My mini-goals chalkboard. Such a cute idea.

The blue ones. :)

Subtle reminders in embroidery hoops.


Hope you are having a lovely and inspired Thursday!

Stress

Yep, that's my stressed face folks.
Today was the first day in what feels like forever that I've been semi-calm. The past two months have been nothing short of insanity. Scratch that. The past four months. There's something funny that happens when someone you love passes away... Sometimes it takes a long time for it to hit you. Not for you to "realize" they are dead, but for the full weight of it to fall on you emotionally. For me, it took three months. And for the past few weeks I've felt like a basketcase. I'm not a "crier." At all. When I was little I would break bones in gymnastics and not even shed a tear. I'm just not one of those girls. Which makes all of this emotional overload even more strange for me.

I've been thinking today about how important it is to have a partner. Somebody that can handle you at your very worst. Because no matter how tough you are, (and I'd like to consider myself pretty damn tough), life is fucking hard sometimes. It just is. And sometimes you just need someone. And I don't think that makes you weak. I think that makes you human. And I'm just grateful that I have someone in my life that is "there." And handles my neuroses, and my stress, and my worries, and makes it seem a lot less heavy. It's genuine. And it's beautiful.



The most beautiful moment in any movie. Ever.
And exactly what I mean.
Thank you, Mr. Kauffman, for "getting it."

Well, I have to go cram for my Art History test tomorrow....blarrrghh.
Goodnight.
