skin & bones

watched last weeks sytycd and fell in love with this piece
heres the full song:



and heres the dance.



i would kill to be able to move like that.

don't be alarmed

but i kind of went all domestic ape shiz and made this skirt out of two old t-shirts.
say whaaa?
that's right, i did it and i would do it again. (said it hard core thug voice)
listen if i can do it, you can do it ten times better.
i don't sew. infact i don't do anything domestic like very often.
but once I saw this on pinterest and saw how cute these clothes are that this girl makes herself,
i thought i would give it a try.

i am very pleased with the result.
and it has sort of turned me into a sewing machine.
baha no pun intended.

if any of my other projects turn out i will post them but lets just go ahead and assume that all things domestic are going to stop here.

also i think something is definitely wrong with me because on saturday i also went running *cue gasps* for the first time in years. YEARS. but i just figured with central park being a block away i couldn't not take advantage of it. that and every time i look in my closet my running shoes that i've had for 6 months and haven't used yet, are staring back up at me. And I figured they would stop looking at me in disgust for not using them and choosing to eat chipotle instead if i took them out once. but i am sad to report its only gotten worse. i sort of enjoyed the whole running thing *cue second round of gasps* and i am now just itching to take them out again.

I don't know whats happening to me but it's freaking me out a little bit.

6 months suckas!

Does it seem as amazing to you as it does to me that I have already been out here for 6 months?
6 months?? That's 2/3rds of a pregnancy. Now for reals, does anyone else relate time to a pregnancy? Cus I plan my life in increments of pregnancies.  

This whole NY experience, yet incredibly difficult, has been life changing. I am so grateful for how blessed I was to find a job out here and have been given the opportunities I was. I am a completely different person than I was 6 months ago. And I know that's just how life works. We are constantly changing and growing, and hopefully in all of that, trying to become better people. And maybe this is just another one of lifes many ah-ha moments where i look back and realize how far I've come.
But I am very grateful for these moments.

I am grateful for being in this stage of life. It feels like I am always looking and hoping to be somewhere else or be doing something different or what I have is not quite good enough. I mean come on, I live in New York City, one of the greatest cities in the world. I don't know how much better it can get, right?

It's a completely different experience living in Manhattan than in Brooklyn. And yes there are great things about both places and Brooklyn will always hold a piece of my heart but can I just say that I am loving Manhattan. I love my apartment. I love my wonderful roommates. And I am loving experiencing this part of NY. Please, do yourself a favor and move out here with me. You can sleep on my couch. And if you play your cards right maybe even in my bed.. with me in it..

My Familia comes to visit tomorrow, FOR A WHOLE BLESSED WEEK. I am S.T.oked.
So be prepared for some great posts with lots of family lovin in em.

H.S of W. and W.

For all you sad souls out there crying over harry potter ending 

and not being apart of your life anymore,

this is what i have to say to you...

Suck it! Cus I just got accepted to Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry!


I looked in mail box and found this little baby gleaming up at me. I opened it on the elevator ride up to my apartment and was freaking out. I'm sure the people in there with me thought I was a sane person.

Maybe now I can crawl out of that corner I've been in for days crying over my childhood ending?

I would die a happy woman right now.
Thank you for the letter friend!

Long Live HP!!!!!!!!!

 

Pictures from the walk me and my rommate took last night.

So grateful this view is a 5 minute walk from my apartment.

Life is good friends.

Harry Potter in 36 hours!

Family comes on tuesday!

Babbitt comes in 2 weeks!

Gweeeee!

(thats the noise my insides are making, i es so excited)

Now enjoy this great song,

that i might have found watching pretty little liars last night.

shhhh.

don't judge. its a great show.

I could see for miles, miles, miles

Don't be mad. It might be another bon iver song. 

But his brilliance is too much to keep to myself!

This is my favorite so far on his new album.

I am sure if he came to my house right now and sang to me

I would morph back into a human being 

instead of staying this sunburned glob.

Healing powers his voice has.

Magic I tell you, magic.

Please excuse the nudity.

Since getting scorched at the beach on saturday

I have been confined to my apartment, besides going to work.

Partly due to the passing out/throwing up feeling i get when i walk outside,

partly due to the feeling my skin gets when the sun is on it (ouch),

but mostly due to my beet colored body
and not wanting to been seen by the human race.

I am not kidding when I say 

this is the worst sunburn i have ever experienced

in my entire years of being alive. 

My face is starting to peel 

and I am sort of starting to feel like I am turning into another creature.

So due to my condition tonight has been a very quite night in my apartment

with only arrested development
and the newest episode of the bachelorette to comfort me.

My night became a million times better when on skype this little lady came to see me 

right after taking her bath to give me the happiest smile that literally melted my heart.

She also tried to hug me (i.e the computer screen) quite a few times as well.
