today

today will not be a productive day, i can tell already.

i think my mom has finally come to terms with the fact that on mondays, i just like to stay in bed all day. i don't think its a big deal, really. :)

i don't have a lot to say these days.

life is good. i'm happy.

this is the happiest i've been in months. so i don't have much complaining to do lately (except, why did i cut my cussing hair. i'm so stuuupid!)

lately, all i've wanted to do is look at tattoos, and plan for my next one (which i'm hoping will be in january or february. crossing my fingers).

if i hadn't gotten mine a few months ago, i think by now, i wouldn't even care anymore. the longer i waited, the less i cared about getting one.

...but i got my first tattoo, and now i'm addicted.

this one is killer! i want a Shining-inspired tattoo! :)

isn't that last one rad?? i wish i could commit to something like that. but its one of those things i know i wouldn't like in a few years. but you're only young once.

:)

...and while looking through we heart it at the pretty tattoos, mine popped up a few times.

i love it! :)

ok, i think i might actually get up and do something.

i have to pay my stupid speeding ticket today. LAME.

Dreams.

I have so many dreams that I want to accomplish in the (near-ish) future. So many.

Lately, these dreams of mine are all I can think about. My future is all I can think about.

I really, really need to stop looking at photos of New York.

And it really suuuper doesn't help that one of my favorite movies is Breakfast at Tiffany's. Audrey Hepburn makes being poor in New York City look absolutely fantastic.

I have also recently become obsessed with decorating my imaginary apartment. I looked all through Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters last night, and again this afternoon as soon as I got out of class. I am sure that my grandma is tired of me yelling at her every now and then, "oh my gosh, look at these curtains!" or "holy crap, look at this lamp!"

I've never understood Colby's obsession with home decor... and now I do. It is absolutely addicting.

I am demanding that I have a living room like this one someday.

But really.

Is it too much to ask for a cute boy who plays cute music, with our cute little puppy in our cute apartment, and a little cupcake shop of my own, and just a passion for life?

I think not.

(p.s. I forgot to the do the blog challenges today... so I'll catch up tomorrow.)

October.

People keep saying that October is the best moth ever..

I can't lie- it really is fantastic.

The weather lately is wonderful. Its perfect cardigan & boots weather.

But not only is October wonderful weather-wise, but it is also the month of lovely Halloween. Not my favorite "holiday", but its definitely in the top 3. ;)

Now, I've never really done the whole dress up for Halloween thing before, and for some reason... Colby and I are taking it very seriously this year, even though we have zero plans for parties or anything of the sort. We just want to dress up and take cute pictures, I think.

But anyways... I love the costumes and candy and photography that Halloween brings out. Here's what I've seen floating around weheartit lately:

future career.

I am a complete sucker for a cutely decorated cupcake.

I am SO glad that I work at a place where I can create cute cupcakes for people to enjoy for like 2 seconds before they eat them.

I'm so excited to pursue a career out of this. A future of cupcakes?? I'm so in.

This is so what I want to do for the rest of my life..

(i wish i would've had these around for my Alice in Wonderland birthday party last year)

(how beautiful are these... gosh.)

(Tyler's niece would sooo be into these Hello Kitty cupcakes! I would love to make them for her someday.)

I am so excited about this cupcake filled future. It's going to be exciting :)

*all photos via we heart it

a little inspiration.

Today marks the first day of school for the kiddos of Marshfield. And it also marks the first day that I don't have to go back to school. It was a wonderful feeling knowing that I could sleep in and not worry about getting up for dreaded high school. BUT all of that changes next week when I have to leave my house by 7:45 in order to get to class on time. :( I can see very many early morning trips to Starbucks in my future... as long as I can afford it. Ha! I think that's what I'll be asking for for Christmas gifts. Starbucks gift cards, so I don't have to spend my own money on that addictive stuff called coffee. :)

Anyways, with my day off today, I thought I'd get started working on organizing my room/craft space... but then I realized I was super delusional for thinking I'd spend a whole day doing that. I spent half my morning watching almost 4 whole episodes of Nip/Tuck (I've gotten behind. sad face), and the other half running errands for my momma. Laaame. So now, I thought I'd waste, I mean... spend, some time on WeHeartIt looking for some cute bedroom inspiration that I can use when cleaning up/ making my room pretty.

Isn't the first one soo beautiful? I wish I was capable of reproducing that in my own room, but my bedroom simply doesn't have enough space :( Lame sauce.

However.

Colby and I have a math class together this semester, and since I have a 2 hour break after that class, we have many thrifting adventures planned so I can find perfect accents for my bedroom. I really just want a space that is comfortable and inspiring. Somewhere that I feel safe in, and can create in.

Hopefully I can get it to some sort of point tonight where I can clean it up and take pictures to show you progress :)

love,

me.

YUCK.

I have stared at this blank page for hours trying to muster of the motivation to blog something, anything. This motiviation is nowhere to be found. This is a terrible place to be in. I can't tell if it is because of what is going on in my personal life, or if it is plainly because I have nothing to say.
I'm going to say that it is a mixture of both. :(

I have been praying so, so hard for some sort of reassurance that everything is going to be ok. I know that life is hard and I need to learn to suck it up, but it seems like everything is just hitting me all at once, trying to knock me down. So stinking tough.
But... I have a huge dose of happiness for you all, because Lord knows I need it.

All of these pictures are ones from my WeHeartIt feed. Enjoy :)

is this not the most precious little puppy everrr? i want him!!

i miss the city :( i want to live there so, so bad.

i hope you all are having a terrific week. its friday, pumpkins.

:)

xo, hay
