progress

today i grouted my mirror. i am loving it so far. it takes a few days to dry and right now the grout looks like sand but over the next couple of days it will harden significantly and darken as well. i am excited because the grout will turn grey as it darkens.


love it! i think i have a new hobby.....hehe

i was out today and i found this amazing vase. i have a 'thing' for really cool one-of-a-kind looking vases. i don't like to put things in them i just like using them for decoration. this is my second one and it goes perfectly with my first vase. the blue of my first vase matches the blue in my new one perfectly. we were clearly meant to be together. bonus: it was on sale and it was an amazing price - 8 dollars. definitely my kind of a day.

ramble ramble ramble

good morning universe! today is monday and if i look outside my window it looks disgusting outside. i do not want to leave the haven that is my room and i've got a kitty (mr. bo jangles) and a pup (sophie) here with me. but i do have to leave.....eventually. and i have to put effort into what i leave the house in......because i have a job interview today. i'm hoping i don't jinx it by discussing it on blogger, but i have an interview! because (for those of you who don't know me and/or my blog) i need a job....fast!
quick recap - i graduated from college may of 2008. i got a job in retail, then tore my meniscus (left knee) and had to be "terminated," on good terms of course. well, i have been looking for a job ever since, and that was september. my search has yet to come to a close, but i am hoping one of these days i will find a job. i understand that it's tough but i continually get called on interviews and am then told there are no jobs (at my level) available. well shit, then why the f**k did you bring me all the way down here first thing in the morning?? i just don't get it. but i deal. i smile and am polite and still nada. please someone just give me a job already! seriously! don't make me take an unpaid (unappreciated) 3 month internship. please?

well, back to the fact that it is monday. yay! last night (sunday) i had no new tv, except for the 25 minutes long (but brilliant) united states of tara. if you have watched the show then you know why it's great but if not, it's hysterical. toni collette has dissociative identity disorder and has several distinct personalities. to say the least, her 'alters' come out when bad situations happen and tara can't handle them. great show. well tonight (monday) there are a bevy of new episodes and i am so excited! obviously number one is gossip girl. i am just so excited i can't even begin to tell you. i love blair and chuck together but i love blair and nate together even more. they belong together. we also have, one tree hill, house and my favorite abc family show, greek! i love mondays. i saw a preview for today's episode of house yesterday and it looks so good. house's patient is trapped inside of his own body. he is completely lucid but cannot actually speak or move. he is literally trapped in his own body. it should be a great episode.

now, i personally love the hotness that is johnny depp. he is an incredible actor, great father and is so damn sexy is kills me. it's the smile and eyes. he's mischievous and you want to know what he is thinking at all times. so here's some hot johnny.

i just want to run my hands through his gorgeous head of hair.

yesterday i saw: joel madden with harlow (such a beautiful little girl) and then i saw sir michael caine. i was driving with my friend allison and all of a sudden she looks over and points and just goes, "oh my gosh, there's michael caine." i really don't care about celebs that much but i know i have friends who love hearing about my sightings. but michael caine is kind of a big deal. cider house rules, anyone? anyone?

i had quite the day. oooh i am also going to make some sort of a headband. i will keep you all posted on that and will post pictures if it comes out ok. i am thinking nicole richie around-the head style headband. we'll see. hope everyone has a lovely monday and a great week!

oh my gosh! i almost didn't talk about basketball! oh lordy, the rants i could go on, but i won't. in case you didn't know, arizona is out. we lost to the overall number 1 seed, louisville in the sweet 16. we went down hard and it was dirty. it still stings a tiny bit. but yesterday, 2 of the 4 number 1 seeds lost, louisville and pittsburgh. i know a lot of people that were rooting for either of those teams to win it all - well too bad for them. before basketball season even started i said that unc was going to win it all. tyler hansborough (little biotch) wants it badly enough, he stayed for his senior year and he is going to go get it. he is going to take it, regardless of who he has to plow down to get there. this weekend we will see the university of connecticut (uconn) take on michigan state....go spartans! and we will also see villanova attempt to crush unc. villanova should be able to stay in it but it in the end it's going to go to unc. arizona is officially on the search for our new basketball coach and i am so interested to see who will end up at our (former) power-house of a school. i just want us to be great again. ok, basketball talk is over.

finally finally finally!

i finally saw slumdog millionaire! i know! it took me for-freaking-ever!

it was absolutely amazing! it was beautiful, suspenseful, exciting and heartwarming and i loved it. my little sister decided to ditch her friends and go to the movies with me.
now all i need to see before the oscars is: the reader, frost/nixon and doubt. not necessarily in that order. i am feeling solid in my saying that i think that slumdog millionaire will win best picture. it really was a phenomenal film.
i also saw h.j.n.t.i.y.......figure it out. not that hard. it was good. much better than i expected..............................................but i had low expectations. i do love ginnifer goodwin. she is great. i also happen to love her on big love.
speaking of television im kind of in the mood to share my list of shows. i downloaded the great tv forecast app for my iphone and i had to input my shows so i had to think of what i watched so here we go:

monday
gossip girl
one tree hill
the secret life of the american teenager (shut up! you know it's good)
the bachelor (watch it on abc the next day)

tuesday

nip/tuck
law & order: svu
ncis

wednesday

saturday
saturday night live used to be good

sunday

i like tv. it's good. my new found enjoyment for crime shows comes from my lack of employment. i found all these shows that i now love.

this is my peace buddha. he is so cute and i velcro-d him to my dashboard.

he just sits there and brings peace and good karma. i love him!
i picked him up while i was out and also found this for the pup. how cute does he look?!?


and he is totally mr. mischief. he loves getting into trouble.

here's some sexy to brighten your day

i'm a big one tree hill fan and i know i love my chad michael murray (aka lucas scott) shirtless and close cropped with not too much facial hair. so hot!

i am a *&#%@(^!? moron!

so i am taking another wonderful test, the cbest. i was under the impression that my test was on valentines day. today i found out that i was sadly mistaken. my test is actually this saturday, as in 2 days from now. as in, oh em gee i'm going to die and am freaking out. how could i have been so stupid?? clearly this is god messing with me (once again). so i am now scrambling to study. although i just took a rather lengthy practice test and did quite well. go me!

i got my new glasses today. they are phenomenal. couldn't be happier.

my friend m and i went for fro-yo at our fav place and we found m's clothing twin for the day. obvs i had to get a pic and here is a pic of m also so you can see. m (right) is definitely cuter.

they also had these balloons. i wanted to stab them until they were completely deflated.

oh, have i mentioned that i hate valentine's day? it is the bane of my existence. it's like i know that i am single and valentine's day just likes to shove it in my face more. and also, couples use valentine's day as an excuse to make out in the streets. not a fan! the one good thing about this valentine's day is that my friend j has time warner cable and on the 14th and 15th they have tons and tons of new release movies for only one cent. one cent! how amazing is that? so i am going to camp out and we are going to watch movies all day. it should be glorious. hopefully she won't be on a date with this boy (man) she has been seeing. he is a little older but it's not big deal. i just don't want to be alone on s.a.d. (singles awareness day).

today i saw rachel getting married. i loved it. it was not a happy movie but it was a wonderfully poignant and intimate film about a crazy family. it is a film where not a lot happens but so much goes on. it's also beautifully shot with a handheld camera without making you dizzy and sick to your stomach. the handheld effect makes the viewer feel like they are there intruding without interrupting. it is very interesting. anne hathaway did an incredible job. she was so desperate and selfish and wonderful. she unquestionably deserves her oscar nomination. also, the theater in which we saw the film was fabulous. it was a smaller auditorium with couches instead of chairs and it was so comfortable. it apparently only showed in that auditorium because it was it's last day showing in that theater. if you haven't seen rachel getting married yet go see it. otherwise rent it the second it's available.
the only other movies i am desperate to see before oscar night are the reader and slumdog millionaire. i know, i know. i haven't seen slumdog yet. i am a horrible person. it is supposed to be the next film i see but getting my little sister s to ditch her friends is impossible.

tomorrow is thursday and i am hoping for a good episode of grey's. i cannot wait to find out what is wrong with izzy and then for her to finally get kicked off the show. i am so over her and her annoying character. i am also loving the lexie and mcsteamy pairing. the way he acts towards her is ridiculous and adorable and i looooove him. he is so handsome.

ooooh speaking of handsome....

how could you not love it??

busy...busy...........dizzy

what a day! my bff a and i spent all day out and about. today was the day that she was going to get a car and she did! and she's very happy, so it was a great day. in addition to her finding a car i found a woman dressed in quite the get up. enjoy!

brown corduroy pants that were too short, black socks and brown leather clog things that had a tiny contrast trim and a brown leather jacket. too bad you couldn't see her sweater - it was black with pink flowers. so i must ask......why??

as you all know from many many posts i do not have a job. while being jobless i have thought constantly about what i want to do. i over think things a lot, especially things like this and i generally take it out on my jaw.....which i clench endlessly. the things i truly love and would kill to do i don't seem to be able - i.e. something in fashion or entertainment. it is impossible to get a break. i don't want to act or model or anything but i would love to style or do p.r. or advertising. i feel like i have so many ideas and they just sit in my head. i need a big revelation and i am hoping that getting my cset scores in a few weeks will help. whether or not i passed or didn't pass any sections will help me figure some things out. i really just want to do something that makes me happy. i am hoping that the planets will soon align.

i find myself talking about my blog a lot. i wish more people would read it. or if there are more of you out there please let me know you're out there! i love visitors! also, once i find that people read my wonderful blog i might do fun things as incentives. so, i find myself talking about my blot a lot....a told me that today and i laughed. i just really love it. and i think it's entertaining. i am trying to find ways to spice it up and make it fun. i also wish that i did more things so that i could write about more things. sometimes my life is pretty boring....sorry.

i am so excited....hopefully by friday i will have my new glasses! they are absolutely gorgeous and i love them. it will also be nice to have the proper prescription.


got some great random jewelry the other day. some necklaces and a ring. it was a good day. this is what i got........



i wear the black one as a bracelet. it's a great filler.

and this is what i want.........



fringe is huge for spring but i hate it generally. this necklace makes the trend wearable. and i love the colors. i love the ring. i have tons a couple black and gold rings but no white and gold. it's a great combo for warmer weather. the last necklace almost looks like an acorn and i think that's why i like it. it's pretty and the green is such a great color. i love a great necklace!

oooh by the way, baja fresh is the greatest thing ever. if you have one and have never been then you must go. if not i am very sorry. go find one.



question of the day: what is your favorite lunch meat (if you eat lunch meat)?
my answer: i personally have a serious fear of lunch meat.

thirsty thursday
