camera happy.

After a few purchases of cameras that break after one roll of film, I think I have found a camera that will last at least for a while.

no pants.

While I was in the post office this afternoon, there was a lady being helped at the desk. She was wearing a coat and I am pretty sure she wasn't wearing any pants. I know what you are thinking, her coat was probably pretty long, but no, it was quite short. She was a fairly tall and large in stature, and not very young, which made her bare legs stick out like no other.

san francisco bound.

A couple weeks ago I learned that in order to go here


I have to go here first and apply for a visa.


After much time spent preparing for this voyage to the California coast, I am sort of ready to attempt at getting my visa to be living in France. I fly into Oakland tomorrow morning, go to my appointment, plead for them to be understanding with me, wander around the town for the rest of the day, and fly home in the evening.

feeling sheepish.

drawing list.

I have been making a list of pictures I want to draw for a while now, I just need to find some time to do so. I hope that while I am not in school for the next couple of months, I can learn to draw faces.

hello cello.

I am renting a cello this month and I am learning to play it. My thoughts are that if I can learn to play this before I am gone, I will be in good shape.

half way there.

January is half over. I am kind of freaking out about this because I have so much to finish before I leave and I just don't if I can focus long enough to get it all done. I have to though.

this is my grandmother.

This is my grandmother. Whenever a camera is pointed in her direction, she hides her face until the camera is gone. While I was visiting her today, she spent most of our time together telling me I need to get married, asking me my age, and then confirming that I need to get married soon.

stocking cap.

I was in my house the other day, and I got a call from my mother while she was at work. She said that she got a call from our neighbor saying that she saw a man in a stocking cap hopping over our fence into my backyard. Naturally I freaked out being as short of hearing there is a stranger man in my house, this is about the worst thing I could hear from a phone call. My mom didn't understand why I didn't like this news and said she was just calling to check up on the dogs and told me to go outside and bring them in. I refused to go into my backyard and left the house until I realized that I am a rock and can handle anything. I'm not even positive I know what a stocking cap means.

inspiration twenty-ten.

Two thousand and ten just ended and it was a really good year of inspirations for me. I found a new love for the beauty of horses, and spent a lot of time looking at touching pictures of this angelic creature. My admiration for floral print has also skyrocketed this year. Of all the worldly things, I really feel as long as I have my horses and my floral, everything is just perfect.
