why is it that the people you're not interested in are always the ones that don't play games, they get straight to the point, and are super sweet? i want a frozen hot chocolate from serendipity, please. i'm so disgusted by how america is SO over-medicated. i am ridiculously ecstatic to be digging my toes into the sand in less than a week. after recently watching the bucket list for the first time i've decided i need to scratch of some more items off of my list...those items being bungee jumping and parasailing...and POSSIBLY cedar point.

some of my favorite ways to end a long day:

make friends with the treadmill for an hour.
take a hot shower while listening to my bf, pandora
[station: glorious.]
put lotion & then socks on my feet.
curl up in bed with a good book.

yes, it probably sounds pathetic but i LOVE it. and it makes me so happy. it doesn't take much though. i've realized over the past few months that weddings reveal who your true friends are/the selfish ones are. whatevs. i'm craving pancakes topped with fresh fruit. none of this ihop pancakes w fruit + fruit syrup mess. just plain, made from scratch pancakes + fresh strawberries or blueberries or bananas + syrup + buttuh w a mimosa please.

"...please come soon..."

maria taylor :: leap year

hey sexy. i'll take one of you please...
i cannot wait for ironman 2. robert downey jr. is SUCH a blessing. it drives me nuts when people call nashville and huntsville nashvegas/huntsvegas. i hope my hubs enjoys baths because i am obsessed with them and i think it's insanely romantic. he doesn't necessarily have to like them in general just enough to take them with me. :) norah jones + red wine + bubble bath + my man + me = perfection.
i was perfectly fine until i was catching up on brothers & sisters today. snow patrol's "open your eyes" was playing at the end. the combination of that song and the events playing on the episode triggered it. the line: "...i won't waste a minute without you..." made me start playing scenarios in my head that i want to experience some day. with someone that i deeply love. they aren't even big things...
cooking together.
taking a blanket and harry to the park on a pretty day.
going for a walk while holdings hands.
grocery shopping together.
it's those little things that i desire...
i just want to be pursued. and. i want to love someone and be loved in return. i struggle sometimes with remembering that it's about His timing...not mine. i also struggle with patience. i have an abundance of it in my life, but this is the one area where i struggle with it. i TRULY am okay most of the time. sometimes i just have my moments. today i just happened to have one...
thank the good Lord for being so incredibly blessed with amazing friends who are always there for me and know the perfect things to say.

"...just going to wait it out..."

imogen heap :: wait it out

a few recent memos i've made...

it's true. i'm officially a cougar in this town. july can't get here soon enough. flirtation as a means of hoping to increase a tip is obnoxious and unnecessary. i find it hysterical when you grab a guy's arm and you can immediately feel the flex. i guess it's the same as a girl sucking in the moment she realizes that someone is getting near her stomach? i don't understand people who don't mean what they say. what's the point? maybe you just have a loose tongue...and...you like to hear yourself talk? or it's because you're forgetful...in the fact that...you forgot that you already had prior engagements. regardless of the reason...leave me out of it. i hate sketchiness.
it's probably trashy, but i don't care if you can see my bra through my shirts. i love love love black bras/underwear. and lace is my absolute fave. lace is SO fem. LOVE. as silly as it may sound...i just HAVE to end up with a tall man...i adore my heels WAY too much.
i'm excited that this will be here next week:

"...you only think about yourself..."

incubus :: mexico

i'd forgotten how great they are. ^
uh-may-zing makeout sesh. check. best one in a LONG time. i'm still sportin' the koolaid 'stache 9 hours later. mmmm. i love the unexpected.
it's so crazy to me how someone can be such a big part of your life for a period of time and then one day they aren't anymore.
i'm not one of those that likes the seasonal, window stick on decorations, but i thoroughly enjoy getting seasonal dish towels & door mats. or just fun little prints. especially if they come from anthropologie. :)
for instance...
yes, they are overpriced but i LOVE them and don't care.

i LOVE dragonflies.
and
owls.
[yes, kp i secretly wish that i had been a chi-o. ha]


i prefer plain white, viva paper towels UNLESS they are a really cute print (which they rarely are). my three favorite band-aids (or plasters as they are referred to in the uk ;) are 1) curious george 2) hello kitty 3) neon colored (only for the bigger boo boos).
i feel so bad A. i am once again part of the keyless entry club!! i've been without it for 4 years. this should be an indicator of how sad my little life is. i'm super pumped about my keyless entry working again. ha
excuses get on my ever-loving nerves. ESPECIALLY lame ones. [see above lyrics] if i ever give you one please slap me.
song that makes me insanely hype: santigold :: creator
men in linen pants...gloriousssssssssss. men in wife beaters...mmm...not so much.
example of why i am the "special" child that i am [email between my mother and me]:

mck:

ohh, and tell the easter bunny that instead of candy i sure would love to get new moon from him. :)

the mama:

Humm...you're saying you're trading candy for eye candy?? Smart choice, I'd say.

I love you to the MOON and back !!

live in the moment.

song that just did it for me today:
sia :: breathe me

i was driving home after date night with b, and i had one of those moments. the one where you remember how amazing music is. one of those moments/feelings that you can't express to anyone else unless they too have experienced it. it's one of those moments where you don't really know how to describe the way you're feeling. it's just good. it's when you're listening to a really good song...in the car...alone...windows rolled down...left arm out the window...right hand on wheel. it's indescribable really. music is so powerful. i'm obsessed with it. ALL of it. tonight was sia's "breathe me" that did it for me. it's one of my favorites. i just never have gotten tired of it. it gives me that feeling everytime.
i can't believe that my best is married. i mean i can. cause...i was there. but. it's so weird. it's so exciting and sad at the same time. i kind of feel like we're on two different levels now sort of? she's skipped two chapters ahead of me. she always was impatient with the unknown. :) i'm still in the college slash single part of my story. she's in the post-grad slash married part. weird. maybe that's why i was asked if i felt "left behind" last weekend. i mean no...i've never thought about it like that really. i am 10 months + younger than the others. that gives me a little cushion, right? i guess i just didn't think it was SO bad to be single at the ripe age of twenty-three years old. maybe i'm further behind than i thought. apparently...if i don't "get on board soon" i'm going to have an account set up for me on eharmony. maybe this is another sign of why i should move north for a little while. ha yes, their lives are faster paced. everywhere EXCEPT in terms of relationships. oh em gee. i sound so bitter. i'm really not. really. okay...so...i guess i am, but only about those comments. needed to vent. moving alonggggg...
michael bublé...in concert...a-m-a-z-i-n-g. i've never experienced a concert like that. he somehow turned an arena into an intimate setting. PERFECT date concert. SO romantic. his song, "haven't met you yet" is my theme song. :) i'm picky. i can't help it. and. a little cynical. i'm still working on that...
i should be at walmart right now buying new moon. i'm in love with 7 up diet cherry. i need to substitute diet bevs with water. i'll start on that after i finish this one. i'm also in love with robert pattinson. i just spent the past 1.5 hours lusting. he's beautiful. unwashed hair and all. mom thinks he's "enchanting". presh. i just love over-sized watches. why do i make my late night bubble baths so unbearably hot? i feel so hardcore when i use a power drill. who needs a boy's help? after watching my bf and his co-star, emilie de ravin, pin each other up against walls and roll around in sheets i'm in need of an amazing makeout sesh. kthanks.

mixed CDs are the best gift ever. no, seriously. best. ESPECIALLY if you have great taste.
oh. and mail. getting mail makes me so incredibly happy.
old school calligraphy grosses me out. so do plain, cream wedding invites with nothing but script words printed on them. yawn.
PDA doesn't necessarily just entail holding hands. it also includes social networking. it's SOO gross!!
example:
boy's status: worn out from the gym.
girl's comment on status: i know what else wears you out. ;)
NO ONE WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS. kthanks.
i get so frustrated by cookie cutter molded people. it's so boring. and it's so abundant in a college town. they're all pretty much carbon copies of one another. whatevs. i love funky, freestyle dressed people. fashion really is a fun way of expressing yourself. it's always been fun to me. i'm very much an advocate of if you like it you like it...who cares what anyone else thinks. EXPRESSSSS ya self. i don't care who makes it or whether it's this season's "it" item or not...if i like it i like it. the rules have been broken, and i LOVE it. give it uppppp. suede shoes and white are year round. black & brown DO go together. the way i feel about fashion is the same way i feel about interior design. i ADORE them both. my fave style in the two: vintage or vintage inspired. everything.
the phrase "let's keep in touch" is on the same page as the pageant smile + saying: hey! how are you?! while walking away w/o waiting on a response....SUPER lame and fake.
i still adore henry mancini's "moon river". it's such a classic.
i can't believe my best is getting married this weekend. it hasn't hit me yet. and. it probably won't hit me until the very moment of. i just can't fully process... we are growing up and it freaks me out more and more with each passing day!!!
i have a crush that i can't quit....
i want to be lying on a hammock listening to waves and reading a good book.
