The perfect flat

I got new shoes! No dress, but shoes! I think they are really cute and I don't want to wear heels all the time so I love them! They do look way better when you can't see the metallic, the silver is way to shinny. Anyway now there are a billion dresses I can wear now that I have better white shoes! Tomorrow I am going to take the day off and then the term begins! Wish me luck, maybe ill wear my lucky new shoes!

SHOPPING IN PORTLAND TOMORROW AND A NEW TERM STARTS ON MONDAY (NOT TOO HAPPY ABOUT THE NEW TERM BUT AT LEAST ITS MY LAST)

The never ending crappiness that is my life...

Since finals have finished last Thursday it has been really hard for me to get into a relaxed state. I don't know what to do with myself, I still have never ending work to be done but it is different. I read an article saying that my immunity is probably getting used to the lack of stress and that it may take awhile. Which is really too bad because spring break is almost over and i have been tired and lathargic the entire time. At least I have Friday to look forward to. And for those of you who knew about it; my procedure went fine on Monday and I am back on my feet today!

In about 15 mins. my last paper will be in and I will be DONE! DONE FOR THE TERM! I am so tired and sick and happy to go home and sleep - i want to sleep all vacation, i wont but i want to!
oh seriously im finally done?
i could not be happier or sleepier right now!

Funny Photo

Josh has been doing lots of music/performing stuff and I have been busy with homework and finals (my big one is tomorrow!) and we are both sick as dogs. I is really bad I slept forever today.
Anyway here is Josh kicking one of his friends for Opera Workshop in Corvallis.

Candy for me!

I am finally finished with my paper!!! All I have left to do if format the references which is really painful because my hand is screwed up from writing and typing so much so I am doing everything one handed. This term has been so hard I have decided that I am going to get myself something pretty when it is over! I don't know what it is yet but ill know when I see it! Ohhh I'm excited!

I'm suppose to be thinking about Forestry issues of India but all I can think about is this!!!

I have the best article on wedding day heirlooms going, I want to finish it.

I GET TO GO HOME TODAY

Graduation Dresses

So graduation dresses have traditionally been white ever since women started graduating from anything so I would love it if my dress were a simple, white dress. I had originally planned on a dress of many greens (because of my duel interest in apparel design and forestry) but I'm just not finding the greens I want and I don't have time to make something that complicated. Part of me wants a big Betsy Johnson style dress but really I think I want something simple and beautiful and easy to wear like this or like what Bonnie wears in the Bonnie and Clyde death scene from the 1967 film. Simple beauty.

All I have to say is... Its really too bad that I need a DRESS for graduation not a necklace.

After yesterdays find I decided to give etsy another chance and there is some beautiful stuff. I am very tempted to buy some of these things because I will probably get to dress up some after I graduate and stop spending all my time in the Library! Joshua bought me a beautiful necklace when we visited Wallace Idaho (beautiful town!) this summer, and it is the necklace I want to wear for graduation. But I really need a dress. I want to get to wear something pretty for four years of hard work! I think my mom and I are going to go to Portland and visit some of the vintage shops I have been dying to try shopvintageportland.com makes me drool everyday. I know its lame of me and a waste of time to check it everyday but I love this stuff! I just hope I can find something for a decent price, I just can't stand to drop $100 on this dress, it would seem so wasteful. More about dresses tomorrow, I can't wait!

Beautiful Airplane

I ran across the cutes Etsy shop today. I'm normally not crazy about Etsy shops, I usually spend a lot of time online and end up finding what I would have found if I would have gotten up and gone to the art fair. But this shop is Beautiful. Mr. Joshua - have you bought my birthday present yet? I love this necklace with a rusted antique toy airplane! I have always loved planes and this is such a distinctive piece. Some of her other pieces are way too bulky for me but I think this is precious.

Business Cards

So yesterday got me thinking about business cards. I absolutely refused to let myself take any because I cannot afford to get more work now - I NEED to graduate! Anyway, I have no acutal business cards of my own and I really need some for June when I begin my own work. I think that Business Cards should be an expression of self and show people what you are all about so I have been thinking about what would be a good design, colors etc. for me. I would like letterpress but I don't really have the mental capacity to make that serious of a decision right now. I really like the cards that are skinny, I am also a fan of rounded edges or other unique edging (but not together). Anyway, I am excited to be creative about this. I've thought about using some colored stitching on an otherwise plain card. If you have any ideas for me let me know!

Lovely Day

I finally got to go do something fun today - I went to the perfectly pearl modern bridal event in Portland's Pearl district. It was super fun! I hope they post pictures soon so I can show you. There was a model there wearing the most beautiful halter dress! Then I found out it was a Vera Wang - go figure!
