HAPPY NEW YEAR

oh wait i'm a bit late

fred flare

this journal reminded me of third grade when i got in trouble for drawing too much in my daily journal and not writing enough.



this perfume made me smile.

sneaky

when i was little i was never one to go poking around for hidden presents in closets or my parent's room. instead i tried peeking inside my mom's purse, looking for a receipt that might read "SUPER AMAZING UNICORN...... $100,000,000"

except for that one time my sister convinced me to check the garage for bikes.
there were three.

amazing overload

modcloth has a million things i adore, but the little prince flats killed me.

fiction

i like to create stories in my head for people that i meet or just see walking about. i ran into our new neighbor and i couldn't help but create his life in all of five seconds...

he is a recent divorcee
he's balding
he has a thing for schoolgirls in knee socks
he's going to have a hard time getting used to all the gays
he would've chosen another place, but his wife is taking everything he's got
...because he was cheating on her with an 18-year-old
he likes monday night football
when he was a little boy he wanted to be an astronaut
he now believes the first walk on the moon was a lie, but he would never admit it publicly
he's going to "experiment" with some of the boys here
he actually found the apartment while driving around one night trying to get a quick peek of naked guy
he'll consider coming out, but he'll think of the kids and reconsider
he drinks bud light
he'll be annoyed by our ruckus
he'll regret bringing the dog to the tiny apartment
he plans on moving once the lease is up

regrets

i never got ally's sugar cookie recipe

food photos

i made a german chocolate cake for an office birthday but couldn't stand to cover it in that gooey gloppy sticky coconut mess. so instead i iced it in ganache, covered the sides in toasted coconut, and topped it with "german chocolate strawberries."

it was a fun, quick cake and i got some pretty pictures out of it.
