thankful

Thankful for the heater under my feet right now, lord knows they keep it freezing in my office. Thankful for the fact that it is 1:54 as I type this, which only means I have 3 hours and 6 minutes left before I run out the door and change into my pajamas. Thankful for the Emergen C that is getting me through this cold I have going on right now. Thankful for a Thursday off next week. Even though it is only one day and my holiday will be super rushed.  Thankful for this blog, where I get to ramble and meet new exciting people each and everyday.
Thankful for nights when I get to Skype with my bestie die laughing over old Facebook pictures.

Me, Myself, and I think I might be crazy...

I'm feeling a little selfish today so I thought I would talk about myself.

No, but seriously, this is the Me, Myself, and I link up. I am super excited to find out more random things from other bloggers. Head on over and link up so I can stalk you too.

1. When you're feeling down, what do you do to pick yourself up?

I usually spend some time outside. The fresh air always seems to clear my head. I also really love time to myself, not that I am not a people person (I totally am), I just like to do things alone sometimes. It helps me focus in on myself and the things I need to get done.

2. If you had to live in a different time period which would you prefer?
I was asked this in my newspaper interview, I guess I would have to say the 70's. I really like all the colors from then. The clothing too. Comfortable in style and with yourself.

3. What is the most creative Halloween costume you've ever worn?

I absolutely cannot get enough of Halloween, I have had some pretty amazing costumes. (let me toot my own horn, toot, toot)

It would have to be a toss up between a Smurfette or Kelly Kapowski. 

What do you think?

4. Five weird things about you we wouldn't know without being told?
1) I absolutely cannot stand people who leave their buggies out in the middle of the parking lot. That is what is wrong with America. Laziness.
2) I have a weird thing about textures of food. I am picky about the texture of a food more so than the taste. If I don't like something, its usually for that reason.
3) I give everyone a hard time, everyone. I don't really have a reason for doing it, but I usually wait until I know you pretty well, and I usually only do it if I like you as a person.
4) I would choose to go barefoot everywhere if it was possible.
5) The very first thing I do when I get home is change clothes, I just feel the need to get out of my "work" clothing, no matter how comfortable.

5. What would you tell your 16-year-old self?
Learn to make the most of the hand life dealt you, make the best of each and every moment. 
You won't get these back. Things you think matter. Don't. Things you put little thought into. Do.

just a dreamin...

I am pretty awful at this blogging thing, I try and try yet I can not seem to get everything done that needs to be done each day. 

However, today I will succeed. Today I will blog.

And I will pin.

I am building my dream home on Pinterest.
Here are a few of my favorites!!

You can seriously tell my aesthetic from my array of pins. I LOVE mixed fabrics, patterns, and colors.
I love a bright POP of color and can not get enough of different textures. I like homes that look lived in yet not messy, ones that are a mix of vintage and modern. Hand-painted signs with different inspiration everywhere you look. My plan until I can afford more is to make do with what I have and only buy items that I truly LOVE.

What is your home aesthetic?
