Don't you dare badmouth Star Wars! That was all accurate!

Hi Everyone. ‘Tis the days after Christmas and everything Holiday-wose is starting to wind down. Our holiday was a little interrupted by my having to work Christmas eve, but that’s okay, it was a really pleasant work day. We got to spend a lot of time with my family, and that was really nice. Our nephews are still young enough to get toys for Christmas, so it was fun seeing them open up Star Wars figures. I somehow managed to not take a single picture, so sadly, I have no pictures to share with you of our holiday… wow…

Anyways, today is a day of catching up and comfy outfits. So this is what I decided to wear today as I go and run a few errands. It’s not a very creative outfit, but it gets the job done. It’s been probably the sunniest winter in history here, which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed, so I don’t have to wear a coat today. This makes shopping very convenient, because well… who wants to wear a heavy coat while walking around Target? No one.

Maybe it’s a faux-pas to wear socks with flats, but I really like the color combo here, and while it’s too warm to wear a coat, it’s still too cold to wear just flats. Plus, I got these little grey babies for Christmas and cashmere socks are like the coziest socks known to mankind!

So… that’s about it for me today. I hope your holidays were all wonderful and peaceful. Can you believe the new year is 4 days away? Where did the rest of it go? Oh 2011... I’m actually ready to see you go, I’m looking forward to a new year. Well everyone, I’ll see you soon!

I'm a bit of lunatic with shoes and jackets and jeans

Hi everyone! Happy Friday everyone! It's finally that day of the week that means no school tomorrow. I know you're thinking, "but didn't you ditch school yesterday?". The answer is yes, but there's a small sense (very small sense) of guilt associated with with ditching school. There's not one ounce of guilt on Saturday, it's just a free day. Well, not totally free, I have homework, but I can do it at starbucks, not at school, which I love!

Anyways, this is what I decided to wear today. I might be late to the party on this, but I've found my new favorite jeans, and they are the J.Crew Matchstick jean. They're not skin tight like a skinny jean (thought skin-tight jeans have their place in this world), but they aren't like an awkward boot cut, they're just perfect. I want another pair soon. AND they dont stretch and get weird by the end of the day. Perfection.

 In case you even care, there are no christmas ornaments in that box. Only Nathan's paintings. I've been gettign afew comments on them as I begin to take pictures indoors. It's just too cold to go out without a big coat, He does sell his paintings, but beware, they are always paintings that make some sort of social point, they're not always just feel-good cutesy stuff. In fact, they almost never are. But thats something about Nathan I have always admired, his conviction to stand up for what's right. What a man.

 Despite the fact that my face looks totally weird here, doesn't it kind of look like a crown of Dandilions around my head? How fun!

Here's the painting that crowing my head earlier. Isn't it neat? It was the first Christmas present Nathan ever gave. I think we had only been dating for about a month. It has a really sweet little letter written on the back of the canvas. Sometimes when I'm feeling blue, I take the painting off the wall and read it, then I feel better.

This was my valentines day present. It's a love pig! I know, it seems really strange a two-headed yellow pig, but let me explain. In Mexico, you can buy these little cerdito souvenirs. They're little piggy-banks that are painted with all sorts of beautiful colors. I have about... 1000 of them, I just love them. That's what this pictures is. Its a little bank, only it has two heads. The head with the mustache is Nathan, and I'm the one with rosy cheeks. It also has a cute little message. Gosh, I love my little paintings.

 

Well everyone, thats about it for me today. Since I didn't do anything school related yesterday, I should probably do some school related things today. Maybe not. Who knows. There are always so many fun things to do. Anyways, I hope you all have a great rest of your Friday, and an even better Saturday! See you soon!

An industrious sinner I much prefer to a lazy saint

Hi Everyone!! It's finally Saturday! I've been pretty busy these past few days getting things ready for school. It's been nuts I tell ya! I dont even have any of my books yet! I dont know what the heck I'm gonna do, books are expensive! Oh well, it'll work out.

Anyways enough about that, on to weekend fun times! Nathan has a tattoo appointment today so we are in Stockton. We haven't been to our hometown in such a long time it feels, so while Stockton may not be the funnest or most glamourous town, it sure is good to see family. My brothers are together this weekend in San Diego, I wish I were there with them.

ANYWAYS! This is what I decided to wear today. When my mom greeted me at my parents' house, she said I looked like I was going to prom. The last time I wore this dress, people were so complementary, I actually think it's pretty plain and kind of boring, but whatevs! It's a whole outfit in one peice. thats what kind of travel dressing I like.

 Chico thinks he's some kind of wild animal.

 Today is a lazy day, just ask our little buddy oscar. Have you ever seen a dog with a sweeter face? His personality is just as sweet. You'll never meet a better dog than Oscar.

Well everyone, enjoy your Saturday. I think I'm gonna just lay around and have lazy last weekend of Summer. If you're returning to school next week, I encourage you to do the same. See you soon!
