Lately...

This week has been a bit of a mess. I'm excited about Valentine's Day but since I'll be working, I'll probably be doing a valentine craft and spending most of the day with the kids I babysit and my cousin I'm watching for the week. It won't stop me from wearing my lipstick print dress from Forever 21 though!

My Sperry Shearwater Boots(the fuchsia are sold out). I love love love them.

My late grandparent's cat Cali. She's 21 this year and sweet as ever.

My Valentine's gift from Ryan. 'The Perfect Flush' Blush by Too Faced.
I hope you have an amazing Valentine's Day week! I've never understood why people get so bent out of shape about being single on Valentine's Day. My family's always used it as an excuse to give a gift or two to whoever you love. Family, friends, significant other, dog, whoever. Taylor and I exchange presents and I bought a dozen cupcakes for my parents from their favorite cupcake place (Crave Cupcakes in Houston!). To be honest I haven't even looked for Ryan's gift yet. We normally just make dinner together the night of and go out to eat on the 15th or 16th to avoid the crowds.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Easter! This is my first Easter that I haven't gone home for, which is weird since I've missed plenty of other major holidays. I spent most of the day either talking to my mom on the phone or making crock pot pulled pork. I wish I'd made deviled eggs. Oh well.

Ryan was out of town with family most of the weekend, which gave me plenty of time to pretend I was a bachelorette, watch Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and play Mass Effect 3.

I had a nice time but I'm glad he's home.

I hope you had a nice weekend!

It's been pret-ty boring around here. I'm either at work or if I'm at home, I'm doing my commission work (and farting around on pinterest).

I'm expecting some exciting things to arrive at my doorstep within the next few days though, so keep yer eyes peeled.

Snippets - Valentine Edition

I should already be out of town by the time this posts. I have a very full few weeks ahead of me as far as work is concerned. I have a few posts (mostly valentine themed) set to publish throughout the time I'm gone and I'll have my netbook with me (to respond to comments and check email and fart around on tumblr) but for the most part I'll be either super busy or asleep.

I love Valentine's Day. It's my second favorite holiday after Halloween. I love the decorations, the excuse to give and receive presents, doing something a little extra special with the person or people you love. I think a lot of it stems from my mom's love of Valentine's Day. She has a collection of vintage Valentine themed hankies and more than enough heart shaped things to call it an obsession. My collection tends to lean more towards pink appliances and kitchen accessories. Plus, I know that someday I'll inherit half of her valentine stuff so I'm not in a huge rush to rival my mother's collection.

The Valentine mixtape is a mixture of songs I've been listening to lately and songs I put on my valentine mix annually. Hope you like it!

Just popping in to say hello.

Work today was cancelled so instead of sitting around on the internet like I do on most of my off days, I'm going to attempt to do a little cleaning around the apartment (it really really really needs it) and work on my header & business cards. Also in the works are a few blog posts scheduled for February while I'm babysitting for the better part of two weeks.

Anyways, off to be productive!
