couple things along the way + jasmine star
so couple exciting things are happening this week and next few weeks.
school is over- i just took my last final yesterday morning and now i am free at last– for next 3 weeks -haha :) school is back on in january and i will try to be blissful about it.
alsooo my cousins wedding is next month. i have been so excited for this and just absolutely cant wait. we are flying out to california mid january to be at this exciting event. :)
aaaaannnnddd :) as a present for myself from myself i got me self some contacts yesterday hahaha :) i was getting so tired of wearing my glasses all the time. btw - i dont know if its just me but i notice that its very very VERY hard to drive with them. especially when you are trying to switch lanes and you are trying to look back but the frames are in your way and you have to go way-way-way out of your way to actually turn your body and see if there is someone who you are about to cut off!! but now i can see!! i am still on “probation”. have to go back in about a week and have it rechecked to make sure that my eyes are okay and are not being irritated too much by the contacts. but let me tell you! i feel great!! look better too (to myself at least-husband says not so nerdy anymore) :)
and last but deff not least– i got my copy of EXPOSED by jasmine star today! so a cup of coffee, on our comfy couch, warm blankie to wrap in, copy of EXPOSED and lots of christmas lights in our living room is what in store for me today after this long day at work!
im excited for the weekend to come. family photos is another thing that is happening at the end of this week.
and this planning is starting to get the best of me but i am proud to say that this may be the best thing that i have ever planned so far. i cant wait to share this with you guys!
Brainstorming
Have been so inspired by a lot recently. So excited to be planning something this exciting. I can’t share just yet. But soon. Very soon. But for now here are some inspiration sketches.
week of thanks [monday]
yay we are only couple days away from thanksgiving! i love this time of the year- its holiday after holiday and i could live like this all my life- in joy ;) this week everyday i will be posting something that i am thankful for. some of these things are unusual but its deffinitely something that i am thankful for and would like to share with you.
[ i also want to encourage all of you bloggers out there to do same. i think this would be the perfect time to be thankful with thanksgiving and all!! ]
today i am thankful for football.
you heard me right. i dislike it. (haha-hate is a strong word-dont use it ;)) i dont understand it and most likely never will. all the excitement about football games and superbowl and other stuff and teams winning and loosing just doesnt get me a tiny bit excited. i dont understand the point of running around with a egg shaped like ball and jumping on each other (many of you will disagree)
so here is what im really thankful for– my husband dislikes it too!!
he doesnt watch the games, doesnt play (unless its an occasional toss here in there while camping or in the park), and doesnt talk about it 24/7. i have girlfriends whos husbands watch/talk/live football, doesnt matter if its the season of not. my husband would rather watch and talk about cars (which i am completely okay with).
thankful for disliking football!

Seattle Auto Show [2010]
this is fairly manly of me probably. but i love car shows. i think this rubbed off on my from my husband because he knows sooo much about cars and always talking to me about them. oh and he gets magazines like mototrend and automobile so i do get an occasional read when i have time. the year we got married, he took me to my first car show back in 2008. i absolutly loved it.
this year at the show, porsche had their newest 4 door sedan-panamera. this thing is an absolute beauty.
there were many more beautiful cars but i felt the need to share this one with you..
5 guilty peasures & 5 funny habits
i have a confession to make. i havent been faithful to you, my dear readers. i apologize. i promise to make it up. somehow. anyhow. school and work has been practically ripping me apart. but i will try to do my hardest to finally get my “blog on” and keep it on. :)
i found this idea on A Beautiful Mess by Elsie.
my guilty pleasures
1. i love love love my kittens. well its a cat and a kitten. they are just awesome. they make my day.
2. if there is a song i like i will listen to it untill i cant stand it anymore.
3. sushi! that is a food i will never get tired off.
4.cooking and trying new recipes. this is something that i absolutely love doing.
5.i love show ”the gates” -its a cheesy vampire show but i love it. [season is on hold so im sad :(]
my funny habits
1. ever since we have moved out from living with my parents, i never get to show my sister what i bought when i go shopping. so its picture time. i bust out my phone, take pictures and msg them to her.
2. whenever i cook a dinner and my hubby is not home yet-ill send him a picture of it saying “dinner served”. that always speeds up his arrival home. :)
3. this is more of a bad habit never-never ever ever- put my clothes away after i wore them. they will lay on top of my dresser for days before my husband will yell at me to put them away.
4. i have a “route” which i follow to clean our apartment. i start in the restroom, then go to the walk in entry, then the kitchen and so on. if i go off the ”route” i start running around and trying to clean everything at once-not a good route.
5. i will buy journals to write things in-recipes, diary, anything-but will never get a round to it. and ill have a stack of clean journals lying around the place.
[pictures that are small are off my cellphone]
what are you funny/guilty pleasures?

Typewriter
I really want one. Yes a typewriter. I don’t know what for-which is a questions that my husband will ask-but something wants me to go old school. Typing on a computer and printing stuff seems lame. I really want one! Just take a look at some of these-they are gorgeous!
