we gave ours a handlebar mustache, kind of ended up looking like a bunny or cat with a mustache.

pumpkin carving!
last saturday all my gal pals and their significant other (husband, boyfs.) had a halloweeny group date! we went on a somewhat pathetic wagon ride at wheeler farm (it was pathetic but still enjoyable), then went back to Brad's (mel's boyf) to carve pumpkins and watch a halloween themed movie (we chose the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer). it's so fun to go on group dates, but when it's not an awkward set up, when it's actually with husbands or boyfs. love it! also love doing halloween themed activities.

complete satisfaction
i love the feeling of being totally and completely ecstatic about new things. for example, tuesday was the first day that i wore my new coat and it's so happy on me. it fits perfectly and i get comments up and down about it.
also, remember those boots i bought and then they ended up being too skinny for my calves? well i returned them. and instead of getting a different pair of boots (basically i decided i couldn't afford that much) i decided to get some new keds. i have a pair of blue van sneakers that i adore and i wear them with everything, skirts, tights, leggings, jeans; but they are really starting to get haggard and i decided i should get some black ones and then i could really wear those with everything. but as i began looking at vans i wanted i noticed most were over $40. and usually that wouldn't even phase me, but i really am trying to be frugal. THEN i went to nordys and saw some black keds and thought, hey, those are basically the same type of shoe as vans, i wonder how much they cost. as i overturned the display shoe i saw $29.00. that was definitely affordable. i planned to return at a later date for purchasing. but i haven't been able to make it out there, so i thought i'd just look at them online at nordys. when i went to the website they were offering free shipping on any shoe purchase! i immediately ordered them.
that was monday, today they came about 15 minutes before i had to leave for work.
needless to say my feet are very happy today.

one blog i absolutely adore and love checking every day and even every few hours is Snippet & Ink: daily wedding inspiration. whoever it is that runs the blog is an absolute genius. i'm pretty sure that all of my wedding ideas will come from this website, i've already found the perfect dress because of it.
anyway... today a wedding shoot was posted and the bride is a childrens author and illustrator and she made some illustrations of herself and her husband and bunnies and incorporated them throughout the wedding!
anyone who knows me knows i love bunnies, and when i saw this i was all smiles, and still am. i truly think that is one of the cutest ideas ever. they even made pin-on buttons for guests to take home of two very cute bunnies holding hands. SO CUTE!

Melissa and Jeff
i'm terrible and haven't posted any pics from melis and jeff's wedding. pretty much i'm just stealing them from her blog slash facebook, but oh well.
okay so honestly i think this picture is so cute, of everyone else. i hate to be the stick in the mud and bash on myself but man, look at my arm. could it look any grosser?

this was such a happy day. and i have to say that Melis and Jeff are probably the best example of a happy good couple i know. for some reason no matter what they have always been able to keep things together and i know that they really love each other. thanks for being such good examples to me, as individuals and as a couple!
also, i really like the prof. pic of me and boyf. i think i like it better in color but the black and white one is cute too. also, i was really glad he wore his glasses that day :)

today
Today...
i have decided i am DONE with being sick. it's been about a month now and as i have mentioned earlier i am SO done being the sick person in class always sniffing their nose; and coughing up phlegm is probably the grossest thing ever, especially when i'm someplace that i can't get rid of it (for example if i cough some up in class what am i going to do? i don't want to swallow it (that was probably tmi for you)). it's just getting to be too much and too gross. So, after talking to coworkers yesterday and thinking about how to overcome this today i bought some mucinex (took my first dose about an hour ago(and p.s. it's pretty expensive)), i'm drinking some grapefruit juice (citrus is good for colds, so is vitamin c which is in the juice) and at home i have a daily vitamin with even more vitamin c waiting for me. also, i heard that grape seed extract is really cleansing, so maybe tomo i'll pick some up at whole foods.
i have also decided that i need a planner. i'm so disorganized and every day is so unplanned. probably the only set thing i have every day is school (and even then sometimes that doesn't work out) and work. But every time i try to use a planner it doesn't work. I don't like having a certain allotment of paper for each day, sometimes i need to write a lot and sometimes i just need some paper to write down a song i need to get or a website i need to go to and i don't like doing that on a dated space. lately before bed i've been writing down a guideline for the next day and putting it on my chalkboard. but that still is not as effective as i'd like. so to fix my problem i bought a small moleskin today. it's red, with a bookmarker and even has a little pocket in the back. Already i'm excited about it and my first page is completely filled up. and to help myself stay on top of things and to stay organized within the organizer i have color coded my entries with my special triplus fineliner pens that boyf. bought me last week.
Black-the days plans as well as any miscellaneous notes
Blue-spanish homework
Green- atmosphere homework
Red-check off completed activities.
i know this is all sort of ridiculous but if you knew how unplanned my life was you'd realize how necessary it is. i'm excited to get organized AND to ditch this cold!
