Wednesday, done.

Day 1 of the picture a day challenge was inspired by this photo by Heather Smith Jones. My boyfriend wants to buy a house soon or buy some land and build one. He talks to me every day about trying to find one. It has me thinking about what I want in a house one day...then somehow I decided I want a few days in a beach cabin...and this looked perfect!

It was an easy dinner night. Both my boyfriend and I were REALLY tired.

Today in lab I instructed an experiment about LeChatlier's Principle...one of my favorites :)

Tomorrow is vegetable day.

I find it ironic that on tv a girl just broke up with her boyfriend while drawing the infinity symbol.

I am REALLY hoping for sleep tonight. I started shaking when I was at work today and I am sure it was my body saying it couldn't handle this anymore. AS I TYPE THIS A LUNESTA AD IS PLAYING. I dont believe in sleeping pills, my Mom started taking some when she couldn't sleep and she would get up and walk around the house and people have even got in cars and wondered down the streets and when no one would notice when I am goen I am afraid of what would happen. No sleep aids...just sleep when I can get it.

Oh I also finally did a bunch of dishes. I think I got a head of what I used tonight for dinner but I am still behind. My next home will have a dishwasher...it may come in the form of an appliance or just a well trained man. My money is on the appliance but a girl can dream can't she?

Time to turn off the computer or I will never get sleep.

Searching for inspriation

My dear friend challenged me to draw a picture every day for thirty days. I am searching for todays inspriation. I told my boyfriend about it, he was greatly supportive and even drove me to go get my notebook.
Today has been a long, tired but wonderful day. Besides work being horribly mind-numbing, I really couldn't have asked for anything better. Lovely evening.
My favorite Scotish friend keeps talking about coming state-side, that makes me soo happy. He made a great film that makes me want to go for a drive. Now if only I could figure out away to draw that.
Oh my phone is ringing...apparenlty my Mom bought a new sander. Today really is a good day.

I just did a big thing and ordered two long sleeved shirts from freepeople.com if I am goign to be the weird plant lady, I am going to look good dang it. or at least not like a homeless person. Its cold outside. I need more sleeves...I think every year at this time I satrat to panic that I will be cold.

I dont like peanuts...

Sooo one of my nephews used to sing the peanut song...*ahem* "I dont like peanuts, I dont like peanuts...sometimes I like peanuts...I dont like peanuts"

Today is one of those I dont like peanuts, sometimes I like peanuts sort of day. One of my personal goals for the week is to take my life one step further into becoming crazy-plant lady and collecting coupons. Dear Lord, I never imagined how hard it is to do that. All that work and I might save $0.60 on cheerios. There has to be a better way.

Tonight boyfriend continued to make me eat seafood...in hopes of riding my totally irrational fear of anything from the water. He made shrimp and told me earlier today, they were like eating "sea-grapes" because they popped like the grapes in my Aunts chicken salad. I just thought I should share that.

The internet is totally inspiring me. Frankly, all I want to do is create. I posted a comment on the decor8 blog about how I believe some of my insomnia has to do with a creative frustration, but the insomnia makes me too tired to accomplish anything. My friend and hopefully will have a craft date soon. She has a quilt to conquire...frankly I need to figure out these coupons.

ALSO this friend of mine helped me solve a HUGE painting situaiton today. I have started painting a landscape for my brothers new house oh about six times and hated every single one..the want something that isn't my style and I haven't been pleased with anythign I have managed to put together. SO today I decided I would start it off as a stained glass painting...and use color and texture within the glass segments...maybe that is the happy comprimise for the both of us.

I want to live in a home of my own. I love my apartment...its getting cuter with time but I want a garden of my own so bad. My boyfriend is looking at property and wants to build a house soon. I am super jealous. I will be patient but one day I will eat my own carrots, dang-it.

Now its time show a picture of something I saw on the internet...oh the glories of the internet....

I used to get S+'s in handwriting. I think my second grade teacher would be pleased if I used this notebook to practice.

Teeth

HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA
funniest stinkin movie I have seen in a long time.
I can't even talk about it.

Watch it, laugh.
Though I will warn you. Its not meant to be a comedy.

Obama

Obama may be participating in the "year of the bike", but by the looks of his Lee jeans he may also be participating in 1995.

sleepy.

Oh my gosh. It is six thirty and ALLLLLLL I want to do is sleep. Here is the delema, I sleep now, I dont sleep later. OR I walk on the dangerous side and not sleep now and still risk not sleeping later. Insomnia blows big monkey chunks.

I am going to take a moment to vent, in a very non-pointed fashion. If you are a part of a group of people that are inpolite enough to smoke infront of my open apartment window...frankly you deserve to cough up that big wad of snot. I can't see who it is so I dont want to point any fingers...but I smell and hear this person and frankly I consider them to be quite inconsiderate and rude. I dont take a dump infront of their window.

There I said it.

And here is a picture, because blogs are better wtih pictures.

Memorial Day Weekend

Well as I said in a previous post, my and my man went on an Alaskan adventure for the remainer of Memorial Day weekend. Again, I am going to only post a few pics but please check out my picasa site to get the rest.


This is me on the beach in Valdez. I am not as good of a rock skipper as I ahd remembered.


My boyfriend and I standing infront of the largest mountian in North America


We rode the bus into the park, as far as was open but we could only take sooo many pictures of sheep so we took pictures of eachother instead.
