Ay ay ay it’s been awhile! I just finished with finals yesterday and am so happy to be done. :) Last night I slept for 12 hours…yeah…I never sleep that long. It was crazy, but so great. Today I cleaned! And did a little cooking and eating and watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, which was good–though shocking in the end! I had never seen it before–it was weird to see Jack Nicholson so young!! Am contemplating my next move here…perhaps shopping for Christmas gifts online, reading, or doing a little writing. I abandoned my nanowrimo project as I didn’t have any time to brainstorm about what I wanted to write about, so I felt very pressured in a bad way to do something crappy…plus finals and all that, and finding a job…kinda not a good time to be writing a novel haha. Just finished Atlas Shrugged a couple days ago (post coming) and after my final on Monday I wandered around a really cute old bookstore for a few minutes (to warm up halfway to my car!!! haha!!!) and really felt like I could spend a couple months just reading and writing. Someone wanna pay me to do that?!?! Hmmm :) Well, I think I’m gonna get going on some stuff around here, but here are a few things that have made me smile the past few days!

Mugs

Just time for one new post tonight, since I have to wake up crazy early tomorrow to hear Jeff Fettig, Whirlpool’s Chairman and CEO, speak over breakfast. YAY, but man 7:30 is early! Plus I have a longer run tomorrow that I’ll have to do after work, so I need to make sure I’m rested. Today ended up being a nice day, I had a nice run after work, and an even better dinner out with everyone at Roadhouse…am feeling quite stuffed, and ready to sleep! But first here are several mugs I found on Etsy that I really liked. I’m strongly considering adopting my grandparents’ habit of buying dishes in pairs of two, instead of 8 or 10, and then having a fun collection for meals and such. Plus it works well with my ever changing moods and tastes! Anyway here they are–scroll over the pictures to see whose store it is.











Hmmmm didn’t realize I had so many, and also an important note is that I’m becoming a big fan of black tea, hence the fascination with mugs. Hope you enjoyed! :)

Oh, and

I am LOVING these plates (uhhh diy project? yes please!). So cute and simple and fun! More and more I’m realizing my favorite designs are very simple, with clean, natural lines, yay finding my style!

Also here’s a fun living room setup (or I guess I should say family room…and by the way, what’s the point in having a formal living room? They seem entirely superfluous to me). But anyway, I really like the way the mirror and photos are hung up on the wall. Simple and gives a nice sense of balance (woah? what’s that movie? GAHHH going to drive me crazy…EDIT: it’s from father of the bride, when brian’s dad is talking about one of their sculptures. and there was a link to get there–i must have been channeling steve martin’s “superfluous” from his hot dog freak out! oh how i love father of the bride…). And finally, Zooey Deschanel. I’ve never heard of the girl before but apparently she’s in The Happening with Mark Wahlberg, which comes out soon I guess. The only thing I know is that she is beautiful and I adore her dress–and I NEVER like tiered skirts! Way to go, Zooey, I look forward to seeing you on Instyle’s Look of the Day in the future! (I also just watched an interview with her on David Letterman last night, and I’m beyond thrilled with how awkward/dry/hilarious she is…she may just be my new best friend). EDIT: ha! Did I call it or what?
