F21 - Spring Wish List

Today was a long day.

It began like any other day, wake up, shower, prepare my breakfast and lunch, wake up boyfriend, head to work, etc.
On my way home however, I was rushing to beat the UPS man to my house so as I could receive my new Urban Outfitters package. To my dismay I missed the UPS man, and will have to anxiously await him tomorrow.

However, I felt that as a consolation prize I would go online 'window shopping' via Forever 21.
Here are some of my favorite things right now.

Dresses:

Belted Knit Dress


Abstract (while I love this, I dont think I would ever pull it off)



Abstract




Skirts:

Jackie B Skirt


Button Up Skirt


Stripey Skirt

Bow Front





Other:

Pay it Forward

"You were born an original, don't die a copy"

Words of encouragement from Christine M.

Although we have met in person a few times, this wonderful young lady and myself have become very good friends via Facebook/the internet. She is the biggest sweetheart and is always encouraging others to smile and be happy just as she is. Words cannot express how happy I was to receive this little word of encouragement today, and how ecstatic it made me :).

Christine, I hope you keep it up. Keep bringing light into the lives of those you love, and brighten the day for others.

Sweet Addictions

Europe, you are my sweet addiction.
After the first taste,
one cannot live fully without another, and another, and another.

I am currently looking into teaching English abroad.
An amazing trip could be had.

If I am to take a year off and not resume school until 2012, oh the possibilities.

Sweet Country Love Songs.

No matter the mood.
No matter the time.
No matter the circumstance.
A country love song will always hit the spot.

They remind us of love, life, and the meaning of (Billy Currington).


Song of the Day: Let me go, by Jason Michael Carol
"Take me with you baby, I belong where you are.
We both know, I'm so good for you,
and it'll only break your heart down the road if you don't let me go.
With you baby."

Espaina

It has been almost one week since my return from Spain, and I miss it already.

This time last week I was enjoying a 'traditional Catalan lunch' with some amazing people we met during out trip. The meal consisted of grilled artichokes, large onions, salad, yummy tomato & garlic bread, sausage, pork-chops, potatoes, beans, more bread, and Catalan cream. Delicious!

During my short stay in Spain, I felt like my world was flipped upside down.
The culture, the environment, the people everything was amazing!

The Spanish people have a passion for living, that we lack. They don't rush around eating meals while driving as we American's do, they sit down for each meal, take their time, and enjoy every bite. They have leisurely days in which they just walk around or enjoy a conversation with friends, while we feel guilty if we spent the entire day without an accomplishment to show for it.

My goal for the year is to be more like the Spanish.
To take my time and enjoy each meal, to improve my wardrobe and not leave the house in 'i don't care outfits', and to enjoy the free time I have even if an accomplishment is not had.

Will it work?

Just watched the new episode of Brothers & Sisters on ABC, and it was very touching.
It hit a nerve with me, one that I'm sure it hurt with many people... that relationships need time, commitment, and most of all a desire and love for one another. From time to time we all take each other for granted, we start pointless fights, we get mad over things that don't matter; and its after these instances that matter most. This is when you know if you're relationship will work or fail.

What will you do?
