Dear Anthropologie,

I love bedding.

I love t shirts.

I love rosetees.

you combined all 3.

You had me at hello.

You lost me at $236.00

Bet I could make it for a lot less.

a note of thanks

Thanks for your prayers .. some things have happened this week that have allowed me to feel comfortable about siging my lease for another year. It was a big relief. I learned a lot about myself to. I dont do so well when things are up in the air so to speak. Those who know me know that I tend to overreact but I think I have done pretty well the past few weeks, I was honestly afraid that I would have to look for another job and I really love my current one. So that was another big relief. Being a single woman in my 30's its hard not to be afraid in this economy is there anyone out there that has any tips of how they deal with it?

Let me know.

Thanks again.

The problem with borrowing things

SO I love smoothies. I love kitchen appliances. However I live in a apartment with not much cuppord or storage space. I wanted to see if i had a blender if I would use it on a regular basis. So I asked some close friends if I could borrow their blender. They said sure we rarely use it. Ive had it for a couple of weeks but haven used it. Well this morning I woke up and had a scratchy throat and thought ooh a smoothie would be wonderful.. I put all the fixings in the blender and pushed blend. A second later I see a puff of white smoke and flames... thats right small electrical fire and im in my jammies.. I know that water makes it worse and the extingusher is in the hall.. I grab the jar take it by the cord and run outside, putting it in the dumptster . Luckily yesterday was garbage day so there was nothing else in there. umm now heres the delima ... do i now have to replace that blender?  Do I just buy them a new one and say nothing. blurgh.... Ive been hesitant on spending the money on one for myself, should have just bought one. Lesson learned.

Now to get the awful smell out of my apartment .

Prayers for my journey on the yellow brick road

So today I am at a impass of sorts. Have you ever felt as though the road before you is going to take a exciting turn? that somewhere 50 miles up the road there will be something new and exciting, something that will change your life. It may make up for all of the crap that you have been through latley. It may be the answer to so many of your prayers. You are not sure wich ones, but you know that something good is about to come. This is how I feel. How I have felt for the past month. I am humbled to tears that I am on this brink. I have ended a relatonship that brought me about a mililsecond of hope for the future but left me with a bad taste and  a feeling that if this was my future I would rather be alone. I stood up for myself and returned to my core, my beliefs and where I feel that most comfortable. When you are insync with the plan that the Lord has for you there is nothing that can relplace that peaceful feeling. That is where I am at right now. I feel the peace before that calm. I know that may sound like a oxymorn or oxymormon :) However that is how I feel. My impass comes at the fact that I am at the forks that are in the road. I feel like I could take either of them, however here is that darn catch 22, Im not sure what either fork holds. I know that changes are coming that I will have to choose. A new life that will becoming, my life. I know that I need to spend the next days months and weeeks maybe in tune with the spirit and listening. being quick to listen and slow to speak. Fasting and praying about the Lords plan. Praying that he will use the holy gohst to quide me. If you have the chance, if you can spare a second. I would really appreciate a silent prayer, a loud one or some thoughts of love my way. Good thoughts put out in the universe on my behalf. I really could use them.

Thanks

ohh pretty

these are a few of my fave things...

SO I have been away from doing the blog thing for a little while, and have decided to take the pressure off from a awesome first post and wanted to share some of my more favorite things.. Be it blogs or products 






Favorite websites to window shop:






http://www.downeastbasics.com/
I love to shop in the actual shop but Utah is a bit of a drive so I make do with the website. I have gotten so many compliments on the dresses that I wear that I get here! It Rocks and you can’t beat the prices.






http://www.eshakti.com/default.asp
I have to be honest and say that I haven’t yet ordered anything from this website. Because living on a budget I can only pick one at a time and I would love to buy lots of dresses from here. Finding modest things can be a pain but for a few dollars more you can pick the sleeve length and they ask you how tall you are so that helps with the length. I am loving the royal blue dresses and think that they would bring out my eyes  what do you think?






http://www.etsy.com/
 your source for all things vintage and handmade, however if you order something from here it may take a while so remember that if you are ordering a gift.






http://www.shopsueyboutique.com/servlet/StoreFront



Cute designer bags at cute prices. They have videos to show the deets on some of the bags.






http://perfectpocketmealplanning.blogspot.com/



Such a cute idea for meal planning Smart girls :0)










http://www.shopriffraff.blogspot.com/



You can’t really shop at this website however she does show you what she sells at her store in Arkansas. Everything is so cute here. If anyone is up for a road trip with a truck let me know :0)






http://www.thevintagepearl.com/



Simple beautiful jewelry. When my Prince Charming comes please show him this site. Thanks :0).










http://www.butteredtoast.etsy.com/



This shop makes my time clock go haywire. My nephew is too old but I want every bow tie in here :0)










http://www.halftees.com/
 love the concept however they don’t have any in my size :0(
 Once they start offering 2x I’m all over it,!






http://www.amazon.com/
I mean really what needs to be said. Love to get my stuff from here ... its fast too and at Christmas I get the easy packaging so that the family can get their gifts without having to untie a million pieces for the kiddos.






http://www.softsurroundings.com/
there is a outlet on this site..
Love it and get fab stuff for clearance prices.






http://www.landsend.com/



Outlet on here and I mean its lands end classic






http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/



Tired old ass soak has made many a happy gift. Classic items that are nostalgic.






Anyway I will be back later with my fave photography supply sites :0)
