For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
{2 Timothy 1:7 }


Happy thoughts are a choice. A happy life is a choice. I choose to let go and let God. I want to be happy. I choose to be happy. I will do everything in my power to have happy thoughts and control my thoughts. No matter what happens now, I know that I will soon be happy. This is just a stage in my life that will pass quicker than I can realize right now and I need to trust in Him and trust in myself that I will get through it. And will learn many life lessons along the way.

I think I'm going to go have a glass of wine and read my book now. :)

Love it.

Phoenix. Fell in love with them last year at ACL. Today my love was even more alive when I randomly decided I needed to get their album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, home to many (but not all) of my favorite songs of theirs. Wouldn't you know it that it was on sale today only!!!

So I will be rockin out to Lasso, 1901, and Lisztomania all. afternoon. long. :)


Happy Friday loves!

Stressed to the Max

Sooooo this week has been a little... intense. In one week I have gone from a gal with one fantastic job, to one not so great part-time job, to one not so great part-time job with interview, to one not so great part-time job with interview and part time gig for a few weeks, back to a gal with one fantastic job. My boss' are a little dramatic to say the least. This is the second time in a few months that this has happened. Now I know the economy is shaky and no one's job is safe, but there is a certain tact and responsibility as a boss to keep your employees out of the dark, and stressed as little as possible. For no other reason then we work more productively that way!!

Needless to say I am relieved this week is over. I am still very excited about the phone interview I had last night with the AMAZING Tiff's Treats (as seen here) but I am even more relieved to get one of these bad boys in my system as soon as possible. :)

Lazy days

To say that I have been unmotivated lately would be a huge understatement. I usually revel in the thought of setting up a new space. It usually comes with the territory of the whole designer thing. USUALLY. I can't seem to get there this time. I don't know what it is about this new apartment but I can't seem to want to unpack! I think it might have started because I was still transitioning and feeling weird about the situation, but I think it has turned into clutter empathy. I figure if I can live like this, what's the point of spending time unpacking? I guess I figure I have no one coming over these days, so why make my place look pretty. That sounds so depressing, yet for some strange reason... it isn't. I wish it was unpacked and pretty, but I have no desire to get it there! CRAZY- I KNOW!

ANYWHO. This weekend (for once) I have nothing going on but a quick shopping trip with Momma on Saturday to pick out my dear friend Amber's baby shower present. This weekend I will get it done. I will unpack. My dog will love that she can actually walk around. I will hang my art and photos on the walls. I will.

Check back Monday friends. Here's hoping. Happy Friday!!!!




p.s. Bon Iver on Pandora will get you so relaxed and ready for the weekend. DO IT. DO IT!
