i just thought this was funny

i love this fellow

happy valentine's day.

let's get our date on.

the universe smiled upon me today.

i had a wonderful afternoon.

it consisted of

lunch at jimmy's

with abby and chlo,

sifting through 70s dresses

at decade's,

a little treat from backer's bakery,

and stumbling across a cute

vintage shop

in attempts of finding a salle de bain.

---

as abby was dropping me off

at my car,

i realize my keys

are nowhere to be found.

after searching 

and having a small panic attack,

i find them in the door of my car.

yes. 

in the parking lot.

keys. in. the. door.

so thank you,

for the wonderful afternoon,

and for keeping my car safe

and un-stolen.

(here's where i found the picture)

patience.

i think

i just might be

the most

eager person 

this week

(but very excited).

i need to practice patience,

or as my grandpa 

calls it,

the big P word.

dream job

it is strange,

i do admit,

but i get inexplicably excited

whenever this ad plays

at the movie theatre.

really, 

i can't wipe the smile off my face.

all things set aside,

my fantasy job

is to be a member of the national guard.

or the fbi.

but the fbi has yet to advertise

quite like this. 

wow. i love it.
(except someone in my family
always gets mad at me when i
entertain the idea of signing up.)

i really don't have time for this.

 

i am blogging because

i have a huge project

due on wednesday

and it's nowhere near complete
(i repeat, nowhere near complete).

yes, i only blog when i don't have time to.

prioritizing is not my strongest suit.

i don't know why,

but when i am all worked up about school,

the simple utterance

"lets go to maverik",

has a significant impact on my well-being.

a good diet coke 

has the power

to calm my nerves

and soothe my soul.

so thank you, maverik,

thank you, coca-cola,

and thank you, richie, for taking me there tonight.

the cold weather is good for one thing, and one thing only.

although the cold 

hurts my bones,

i must say,

it's nice to leave

my diet coke

in the car for hours

and return

to find it

cold & icy,

just the way i left it.
