roots.

so today kara and i had a random trip to escondido [i had contacts and new lenses for my glasses to pick up]. it is so nice being able to just go down to see my family without the pressure of homework weighing me down. the more time i spend with my family, the more i realize that i miss them. i miss seeing them on a consistent basis. i miss their ridiculous humor. i miss standing in the laundry room with mom and crying [the laundry room is where i have shared so much of my heart with mom. my parent's laundry room is my safe place]. i miss girl movie night. i miss having a conversation with my sister stephanie and having her burst into song. i wish i lived closer to my family. but the spontaneous trips to visit them make the distance a little less painful. it was a good day.
and remember how i said i wanted to start my own etsy store?? well, here is a little preview.

more to come soon.

10 things.

10. i was reminded today how much i really don't like interviews.
9. the show make it or break it is my guilty pleasure [don't judge me].
8. i have a strong addiction to spearmint gum. i can go through a pack a day at work.
7. my skin is peeling like crazy right now [it looks like i have a really bad skin condition]
6. i love the smell of fresh laundry.
5. i wish i was a better cook, or more creative with my cooking. either way, i need to add more variety to my diet.
4. i have never been to a real concert [sad, i know]. i want to change that this summer.
3. i have a new love for country music [there it is, i said it].
2. i am trying to cut back on napping. trying is the key word here.
1. i think i have an etsy store idea [but that is for another post].

etsy.

so, maybe i am behind the times [actually, that is more than likely true...], but today, i made a beautiful discovery. etsy. i had heard of it, but i never knew what it was all about. well, today, that changed. oh my goodness, it is a good thing that i have some self control, because i wanted to buy everything that i saw. it is all so beautiful! and it made me wish i made cool vintage items to sell [i am taking suggestions]. but i suppose for now, i will just have to look in awe. oh etsy, i have a feeling you are going to be trouble.
