Lemon OUT!

There are only a few people that I really look up to in life, most of them being real people (my mom, sister, grandma, Laura....etc), but there is one fictional character who takes the cake...LIZ LEMON! My love for her is un-matched. What got me thinking of her today is this website: Scanwiches! It just seems like her cup of tea, which of course makes it my cup of tea!

Paper Heart

Hello...new love...
So this adorable young girl, Charlyne Yi, is staring in a new movie with the equally as adorable Michael Cera. Oh goodness I have fallen in love. Hurry August 14th...get here!

Oh Ziggy...

Happy Birthday You Gorgeous Man!

Hotel...day two

Today I decided that I needed to so some online shopping (mostly at Forever21 and ebay). I was in the mood to buy buy buy, but nothing struck my fancy. So I though perhaps I just needed some inspiration. I need a visual of how I would like to look. So I turned to....Michelle Williams. She is just the epitome of cool (right down to her Ray Bans and high-top Converse Allstars). She is able to wear these trendy pieces (I could never pull off Ray Bans) without looking like it is forced. Jeesh....I want her closet (and mayber her hair...but that is another post altogether).

Rocky, you went the distance.

Perhaps it is because I love the movie Rocky, and this has endeared him to my heart, but Rocky Votolato is just the best. I know that nostalgia has a big part to play in my love for this man. Listening to his music just transports me back to my Junior year at KU and the times I spent with Laura. I love when music can just take you back to a specific place and feeling.

Rosie Thomas....

I have a new job....a "real" job as I like to call it, though it is more of a career I guess you could say. I am finally using my over priced education and doing what I hope I love. And while I love the idea of having a salary and most important health insurance, I am most excited about the fact that I now have weekends OFF! I almost don't know what to do with myself. It has been years since I have had both a Saturday and Sunday to myself. Usually when I had this time off I was on vacation somewhere...not anymore.

Today on my first Saturday off I spent time with Martha and Ben at Marguerite Gardens (Martha's work). Ben was then kind enough to accompany me to Target, where I needed to pick up a new bike seat because mine was stolen! JERKS!

And so here I now am....enjoying time at home listening to Rosie Thomas. She is pretty much my new favorite person. It is funny to me that I have had her album for a couple of years now and am just listening to it for the first time. I would recommend that you stop reading this now and go to the record store to pick it up (These Friends of Mine if you are wondering what I am listening to). She is just so delightful and she sings with Sufjan Stevens. Can it get any better? Oh Rosie.....
