Friday night activities: painting nails.
Taking a bit of a risk for me with navy blue. I’m a wild child, what can I say.

Also, they kind of look black in this picture - like maybe I was planning on going to that vampire movie this weekend and dressing up and whatnot - but I swear, they are blue. Or maybe I’m finally going through the goth stage I missed out on in high school when I was busy going to youth group. Who cares. I like it.

There are things I will not do
I will even be mean and cruel
And I will not stay with you
unless you give me all of yourself

I think tacos and a tecate could go a long way towards turning this day around. Those may be my new dinner plans - to be consumed while watching the finale of cycle 13 of ANTM. (I’m pulling for Laura. She may not be a better model, but I have the hugest girl crush on her. Last week when she made it to the final two I pumped my fist in the air and yelled ‘yes’, which is not how I usually roll.)

“Once the wood was all delivered you were done and it was easy to see the progress and gain a sense of accomplishment. That is the real beauty of manual labor — you have a job to do for the day and when it is done, so are you.”

Current dream job - delivering firewood. Or something like it.

Lessons in procrastination (part 2).
Create a new cross stitch pattern. Execute pattern while drinking a seven and seven (call it making Christmas gifts, so it sounds productive). Thus successfully avoiding that which you dread.

Lessons in procrastination.
Rifle through your closet (but call it cleaning or organizing, so it sounds productive) and find an old band t-shirt that you had completely forgotten about. Rock out to that band. Thus successfully avoiding that which you dread.

Step by step instructions for how to get the perfectly messy bun. I can’t wait for my hair to be long enough for this.

(Also, hair-related, remind me never to get bangs again. I always think that I want them until I actually have them. Then I remember why I grew them out.)

Wish List.
I would love to snag one of these necklaces by Kate Miss of for me, for you. I’ll have to camp out in front of my computer, constantly hitting refresh for the next shop update if I want a chance. They sell out mighty fast.
