a very not good day

last night i realized i lost my long-adored travel mug and emotional attachment combined with little sleep let to a overreaction. I couldn't sleep i was so worried i would not find it; by this time i had remembered where i had left it but had no clue if the janitors had cleaned that hall that night - they throw all beverage containers away no exceptions even the super spendy ones. So i got up before 8 and got to the class room 5 mins to late to look - there was a class inside, i looked where i had sat and could not see it so i sought out the lost and found. I asked at the history department; a lovely office with mint green walls and wall hangings to move your mind. The lady there was very nice, called maintenance - who didn't come in and made me some licorice tea. I was doing ok then i remembered that i was in 15 min parking so i ran (on ice and slush) the whole way to my car - no ticket thank god! I went home changed out of my now wet clothes and tried to get ready for the day but instead i just started bawling - Mr. Joshua was super nice and told me what i knew; that i needed to get some sleep. So i took a nap and he said he would check for the travel mug on the way to his next class - he did and he found it. So i went to class and then to a study group for my midterm tomorrow morning and now i have zero energy left and I have to study for my midterm!

i will be moved out by friday, i am so excited to have the responsibility of a household off of my hands especially because i am sick again; i hope it will not require surgery - i have never had surgery before of any kind and i am scared at the idea of starting. first midterm on wednesday :) wish me luck

What really happend

Sooo... Mr. Joshua was planning something BIG for our 1.5 Year Anniversary!
He decided to take me to McMenamin's Edgefield Resort in Troutdale, Oregon! Too bad we got suck in bad weather and bad traffic and had started too late to being because I didn't know we we were going very far so I didn't get the day off work so we were going to get there at around 8 to stay for one night - So we called and they were really nice and let us reschedule for my birthday which will be much nicer and I will get work off and everything. Mr. Joshua picked a very nice Winery Package so we could have dinner and breakfast and wine and all that jazz while soaking up the atmosphere. I am so excited to go there for my birthday it will make the next three months super long! Anywho, so since we were half way there we just went to Lake Oswego where Mr. Joshua's parents live and went to Stanford's for some drinks and stayed with his parents. The next day we relaxed and did nothing but did manage to make it to a super cute vintage shop in Portland in a great little neighborhood which we plan to go back and explore sometime! All in all despite not getting to go it was really a nice mini vacation.
Thank you Mr. Joshua, I love you!

Almost done with the week

Moving out is going smoothly and Joshua and I are going out of town to celebrate dating for 1.5 years this weekend! He won't tell me where we are going just that I will love it - I'm so excited now all I have to do is get a good amount of homework done before we leave at noon tomorrow (I took the second half of day off from work and he took the entire weekend off). It is snowing right now and it is beautiful, it might not stop too :)

So many graphs and numbers and peer reviewed journals, my article is due for a book on wednesday too....

Ahhhhh...

Home sweet home...

Ahh, the fire is burning, the sun is peaking through the clouds and I am in a big red armchair with a cup of coffee settling down to read. I am half moved out and staying with my parents this weekend. My brother is here to so it is nice, its like being kids again except with less bickering and without my sister :(
I am so excited to be getting caught up on all of my schoolwork after being sick - which is looking better by the way. I am getting longer winds of energy now. I only have a hundred or so pages to get caught up with my course readings and I am thinking about the future and maybe travel?
I am hoping that this time can be to spend time with my family and regroup my thoughts and creativity.

Movin On Out!

Hi everyone!
I have decided to be homeless!
Not really but kind of. I will be spending weekends with my parents and weekdays with Joshua and friends. I am so close to graduation (June) and I had planned on doing this in May but my apartment has developed a large mold problem which my property management company has refused to address. Five months is not long enough to move and put a deposit down for so this is the alternative. I am also looking for house-sitting jobs etc. but all I can say is this should be an interesting experience and I think I will get quite a bit more reading done now because I will be on campus a lot more and cleaning a lot less.
We shall see how this goes...


This is an interesting movie i watched last night for film class, I enjoyed the unexpected plot!

this is terrible - im ill again

A long week but plaid is Beautiful

Almost done with the first week of school, so far so good except natural resources economics. Ugg I thought I was done with Econ of any kind! Anywho I have to read lots of stuff and clean the house but i think I might get to take Sunday off to go to Portland with Josh and vintage shop.

I love this dress and want it SO bad - I'm not Scottish for nothing you see, its because I LOVE PLAID!

Crochet!

So this book isn't super gorgeous but the tutorial in the back really helped me with making the bobbles and now I am thinking about going onto more complex bobble projects then just bobble lines. I'll keep you posted on that!
P.S. My internet is not working- thats probably because I don't pay for internet but regardless I will be bloggin a bit less now until this works itself out or I get rich

I wish I could remember where I got this picture but anyhow I think these are really nifty. Every time I run across this in my "to make" file I think of my friend Allison, she has such super retro style complete with such a great retro/vintage earing collection. I wish that I had the time to make these for her but I can knit in the car and in class, cross stitch is a bit harder then. Ahh, someday hopefully.

I am feeling better today and Joshua took me to the Doctors and it looks like nothing really serious is wrong, so I am SUPER happy and thankful!

Also this is one of the things Joshua got me for X-mas so I can be warm on days like today!
I feel like such a lucky girl!

Hello Everyone,
I got very sick yesterday and almost had to go to the hospital, very happy I didn't end up having too, the hospital is one of my pet peeves. Things are going nicely, furniture is moving and this place is really starting to feel like a home. It isn't as posh as could be but I refuse to purchase furniture to have to move it so quickly. The plants are growing, the aloe and Thai pepper are recovering nicely. Although still sick and needing Doctors appointments I am happy.
