Sunday Thoughts

If I lived in a big city, I would go to souvenir shops all the time and buy little replicas of famous monuments. Then I would decorate my home with my growing collection. 

If I lived above ground, I would buy long gauzy curtains and always have my windows open. 

But, because I live in neither of those places, I keep repeating....

Top 5: Projects

Next in my Pinterest series comes pins from my project board. That's the only lead-in I've got. 


Oh. Are you working on any projects? 


1. Pressed penny charm bracelet. I love these, and I think it would be a great keepsake from all the places we travel to.

2. DIY clutch. The middle one is my most favourite.

3. Glass marble pendants. Super easy. Bake them, then put them in cold water.

4. Homemade lavender sea salt scrub. I've even started growing my own lavender bush. Plant? Shrub? What is lavender, really?

5. The Beatles cross stitch.  I'll still be working on this When I'm 64.

Distractions, Part 1.5

I consider it 1.5 since technically I started this the other day. But it was unofficial. 


Here's what I've got today, folks. Emoticons! Well, just one. 

((°J°))

Fresh Out of Titles

So, I didn't really want to post today. Because then there would be a different post than the last one I posted (with the really awesome poster of The Beatles). I just love how it looks there, with my London background in the.....background....um, hehe...


In other news, the semester is almost over. Yay! Yay? I'm not sure which. It has been a really great semester. I'll be sad to see it go. I've loved my writing class the most. Even though it was TONS of work (sometimes busywork....shhhh). But I got to work with some really fantastic people, and write some fairly fantastic stuff. I know that next semester I get to move on to bigger and better things. But I'm sad to see that class go. I'm also sad to say goodbye to my Monte Python class. Yep, I spent a semester watching silly British men do sillier British things. Be jealous of my major. Finally, I'll be sad to see my extra long weekends go. I've had no Monday or Friday classes, which has been wonderful. Next semester I still have Fridays off, so it's not so bad. And only writing on Mondays, so that's all good. 


That was a long paragraph, sorry friends. 


Now that the end is near, I have SO MUCH to get done still. It makes me scared just thinking about it. But, it has to get done, right? So I'll just have to stay up late every night getting it done. 


I went to the Apple store yesterday (I was on a date :). And they played Beatles music the whole time. I am in love. In fact, I began to wander just so I could stay and listen. Luke is the best for putting up with me. 


The rest of the date was good too. We walked around down-town SLC and found a new restaurant to try. Five Star Restaurant should seriously rename themselves. It had Chinese and Thai cuisine. Honestly, the Chinese place at Smith's is so much better. Next, we walked around Temple Square and saw the lights. It was cold, but I loved it. Finally, we went to the mall in search of warm hats. I didn't find any. Neither did Luke. Darn. We still had a great time. Luke's pretty awesome. 

Real Love

Dear Beatles, I love you. 

Mid-November Musings

Would you all like to know why I haven't written in such a long time? Well fear not, for I shall tell you! 


Actually, I had this really long post about things, but then it got erased. And it was good, and I don't really feel like doing it all again. So, here are the highlights! 


Work is crazy. I have double the number of papers to grade as usual, so of course it's taking me longer to get them finished. Students don't understand that. 


Things with renewing my passport got tricky, but for the most part are worked out now. Hooray! 


I'm still trying to find a ride home for Thanksgiving. And I really want to go!!!!! 


I got into the screenwriting class that I really wanted to take. Life is so good! Otherwise, how can I emphasize in screenwriting? Oh wait, one class, nope, I couldn't do it.  So now, things are better. 


The Beatles are available on iTunes now. Weird.  Although at $1.29 a song, I'll probably just get  albums (the last 3 that I need) from Wal-mart or something. Besides, real Bee-atles fans already have their songs anyway, and don't need iTunes to supply them. Superfans know why I called them Bee-atles. 


There are more ups and down in my life. But I don't want to get in to that now. So I won't. 

Because I always forget the words....

With a Little Help from my Friends...

Ringo, George, Paul and John, that is.

I need to say this. And this is the way I'm going to do it. Because The Beatles have a song for everything.

This is for you, by the way.

Title

I have a lot to say, but none of it is happy, and some of it might come across as me being a smiotch, which I try not to be, but sometimes it happens anyway. 

So I won't say it. 

Instead, I'll think of happy things. 

And share this with you:
