lately.


I woke up with a cold yesterday. Therefore, I ate graham crackers, wore noisy pants, read for over four hours, and blew my nose often. A good day, actually.


lately:
  • The weather has been absurd (of course). There was a beautiful week, and ever since, torrential rain with snow every once in awhile for variety. Sheesh.

  • I read The Hunger Games finally, and liked it/had mixed thoughts. Excited to see what they do with the movie. Also: Liam Hemsworth. ♥

  • I went and saw "Act of Valor" (and wept). it was intense and deserved the R-rating (violence and language), but wow. it was incredible.

  • I'm in love with chocolate pudding.



  • I can't even believe how much I love Starbucks. And not just because it tastes amazing and there is always beautiful whipped cream. ;) I've spent a lot of time reading/writing/blogging in them lately and it's seriously the best thing--earbuds in (to drown out the women gossipping), peppy Spanish music on, and then coming home with hair that smells like coffee.

  • Youngest-niece Victoria is just getting even whackier and more awesome. 

  • I finally found a shirt that goes with my scarf my mama bought me in Poland. :) Incidentally, the shirt has an anchor on it. Major love. 





  • My sister Bethany got glasses. Also, a haircut. She has been destined to have glasses for her whole life, what with her book-nerd/hipster/very wise tendencies.




  • I went to spend a weekend with Hadley and Kerilynn, complete with much food, shopping, and deep late night talks.

  • FROZEN YOGURT. the end.


  • I fought it, I did. I mean, I'm not even into British boys or saggy pants or preppy sweaters or unfortunate haircuts, but I can't stop listening to this. and this.




  • Our trees are late-bloomers (literally) but most everywhere else, my beloved cherry trees are blossoming which makes me so ridiculously happy.



  • Calvin is still cute. ♥

    1. I do like Peeta... but so far (only having read the first book) I love Gale, plus the fact that Liam Hemsworth (who I already liked) is playing him in the movie... I'm afraid I'm destined to like him more. ;) But I generally go for the hopeless one in the love triangle, so yeah.

    2. Once you reach the end of the series, you will pretty much fall in love with Peeta. Gale is still wonderful in the first one, but he pretty much just makes me sad the more it goes on...

    3. Totally. He is really nice in the first one, but he just can't compare to Peeta and gets really bitter as the series goes on.

  9. Honestly, I've just recently heard of One Direction. I did like the acoustic song, as well as the other one. but when/if people sound good live/acoustic, that really sells me. I'm not sure if I'm a fan yet though haha :)

    lovely pictures and post!

  14. I hadn't heard that version of "One Thing" ... but now that I HAVE......... ;) I happen to love British accents though.

    And Hunger Games (I <3 Peeta, but I definitely agree about Liam), and cherry blossoms. Looks like you've been having a pretty great life so far!

  30. Hello

    I am Mrs Benita Fried,currently living in New jersey city,USA.I am a widow at the moment with three kids and i was stuck in a financial situation in may 2011 and i needed to refinance and pay my bills. I tried seeking loans from various loan firms both private and corporate but never with success,and most banks declined my credit. But as God would have it, I was introduced to a man of God a private loan lender who gave me a loan of $85,000USD and today am a business owner and my kids are doing well at the moment, if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan with low interest rate of 3% and better repayment plans and schedule,please contact Mr Zhnag.He doesn’t know that am doing this but am so happy now and i decided to let people know more about him and also i want God to bless him more.You can contact him through his zhangloancomapny@gmail.com 0r zhangloancomapny@yahoo.com
