completely normal behavior.

I have had possibly the most entertaining weekend of all the weekends that were had in the world. It was full of my favorite gay men, lots of dancing, an impromptu slumber party, and a plethora of wonderful people who I am happy to call the funnest group of friends in all of earth and the universe and so on and so forth. I'd like to let it be known that Ashlyn and I got no more than three hours of sleep last night - if that. We got up at maybe 8:30 and it was all uphill from there. We somehow began the greatest facebook conversation of all facebook conversations that are had between two individuals who are literally laying on a bed side by side. I'll let you see for yourself...following this conversation we proceeded to watch Coraline in 3D and now I am ready to hermit away in my room for the remainder of this super splendid Sunday. Good day I say!

WHAT

IS

HAPPENING.

I'm really missing my black hair today because I was able to do ALL BLACK EVERYTHING so much better than I can do it now. Maybe I'm mostly just missing my black hair because it cooperated with me, and would do whatever I wanted it to do. Whereas this lighter shade, as pretty as it is, won't do what I ask. It's indecisive and won't pick a side. It's curly and it's straight. It won't just stick to one. I need hair help! What do you want from me, hair?! WHAT!!?

switch your hips and bat your eyes.

This weekend was a lot of fun. I hung out with many people I didn't know, which I don't think I've done in a really long time..I've been stuck in my close circle for so long, it was a necessary adventure. I love making new friends. I also hung out with some of my favorites. Friday I ran around the city wearing some of my highest heels, not knowing I'd be walking quite the distance all night long. I got the occasional piggyback ride so it was okay (I hate piggyback rides, but painful desperation got the best of me). Saturday was especially fun, having dinner and walking to the park to sit in the sun, following a night of dancing and seeing some of my deeply missed friends from fashion week. I also went to another wedding in which I felt greatly overdressed for, only because it was a wedding in which some people wore jeans to the reception? I didn't know that was proper attire for a wedding! Made me a tad bit uncomfortable...but maybe that's just my daily dose of judgement for you. Apparently I'm good at that these days? Awww well! NIGHTIE!

campagne française.

While I may be a big time city girl, deep down I have this strange desire to live in the country. One of the prettiest places that has always stuck with me since I visited years and years ago, was Big Sky, Montana. I swear I'll go back, I think about it a lot. I also have every intention of taking a road trip through North Carolina/Kentucky/Tennessee/Virginia/Alabama/Georgia...et cetera. Who knows when I'll get around to doing so, however, I will see to it that I retire in the french countryside. Nothing would make me happier. The End.

tears for fears.

My mind is on a never ending sporadic spree and it won't shut down. How I miss my friends, how my sister moved farther away from me yet I see her more now than I did before and it's nice, I love fluffy pillows, Shania Twain is so great, I'm stressed, give me more work, let me sleep, what happened to my new chapstick, Hilary gets to see the McQueen exhibit, let me borrow that top, no you can't borrow my top, what color should I paint my nails, crap I forgot to clock out at work, I'm glad Cady texted me today, account number patient name diagnosis decreased function decreased strength increased pain. Now I'm just thinking about my work. Because I literally did like 75 charts today, my mind is clearly on overdrive.

Tonight on my way home I felt like I had the freeway all to myself. Pedal to the metal. I often forget that there is a speed limit when I am blessed with such an open road. Tonight especially. I had so much on my mind that I even missed my exit and just kept going and going. Sometimes I wish I would have kept going.

in every direction.

Here are a few photos of fun from my past week. This fun includes the Yelle concert, 7 hour hair appointments followed by bathtub chats and photo ops, a day for a dress, and a delicious s'mores donut. I've also included a playlist of songs that suit my fancy as of late. I hope you enjoy them! And again...I'll do the challenge later.

It's Chanel time again. Who am I kidding, it's Chanel time all the time. Today we got to see Karl's Resort 2012 collection for Chanel. I completely forgot that it was today and when I woke up, I was such a happy girl. Needless to say I have had a marvelous day due to that cheerful wake up call from Mr. Lagerfeld. Here are a few looks I enjoyed from the collection, however, for my favorite photos of the guests from day-to-night, visit my tumblr.

old habits die hard.

Today a lot of random people pointed out a lot of random things about me. Apparently I run/walk/stand like a ballerina. Aka I generally stand in first position and if I take a step forward, it's usually brushing right through fifth position and into fourth. I realize that I am constantly pointing my toes, but after it was brought to my attention that I do these other things I felt a little self conscious and began to notice just how much I really do them. Hey, at least I'm graceful! Also, it seems that I often hum the song "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" from Cinderella. I never realized this. It makes sense though because it is one of my favorite disney songs, and it's somehow always in my head. I never knew I was humming it for all to hear though. Lastly, I am often seen rubbing the tattoo on my elbow as if it were a genie in a bottle or something. I always knew that I did this, I do it because for some reason it is a comfortable position when I'm leaning on my desk, with my fist under my chin. And I'm probably thinking about how it needs to be touched up. Such strange habits I have developed over time. Anyway, I'm going to put on some sweats and go watch scary movies. Good day.

for what it's worth.

It has been such a lovely weekend. I got to spend some time with my beautiful friend Chelsea on her wedding day, she was such a pretty bride! While I myself have no desire to get married anytime soon, I truly love attending weddings. They are so magical. My love Devan even came with me and I got to spend the whole day with him which is quite rare since we both work so much. He is leaving me yet again to go record songs for his band's album this weekend, and while I will miss him, I am so excited for him because their new song is insane. It is still stuck in my head from the other day, I can't wait for the world to hear it! Anyway, maybe I'll continue on with my 30 day challenge tomorrow. I'm not sure why I can't do it consistently each day but I'm not too worried about it. I hope everyone had a wonderful mothers day!

throw some glitter, make it rain.

I have discovered something that truly makes my skin crawl. This is quite possibly the strangest discovery I have ever made, I must say. I can handle gory shoot em and cut em up movies or even just playing the scenario game with Ashlyn (the scenario game is basically would you rather, for instance: you have to either be in a pit of dead bees that can still sting you, or a pit of live spiders...that one seems to be our toughest question oddly enough). We come up with some pretty uncomfortable situations...so the fact that this new discovery bothers me as much as it does, is outrageous. WHITE STRAWBERRIES. Please just google them. I don't know why the crap they make me so squeamish but I can't get the image out of my head and it's really messing with my mind. I try to sleep but the minute I shut my eyes it's the mother effing white strawberries. Heaven help me. Another thing that really gets me worked up, oh does it ever... is this dilemma: So, you're working out, the lady yells "FIVE MORE! PUSH IT!" and you're all geared up like yes I can do it! Then she gets talking about something else..and she forgets she told you only five more left...and she keeps going, then you're swearing up a storm as you keep pulsing your leg up and up just cursing her name as you push yourself to keep going. Seriously don't tell me I only have to do five more and then forget. I think that is why my whole right side is stronger than my left. I realized tonight while working out that Tracy Anderson does this like 3 different times in my workout. Really rude, Tracy, tricking me. Anyway, aside from my two complaints I am a very happy girl, today was a beautiful day and I am so happy SPRING has finally arrived!

doutzen.

SOOOO. Last night was the Met Gala as we all know, or should know, and if you don't know...I have no words for you. Anyway, normally I'd lay it all out for you and tell you who my top favorites were and who looked like a fool. However, today I'm just going to give you one, because I think she looked incredibly classy and just flat out magnificent. Doutzen Kroes. She is a winner in that red Giambattista Valli.

nineteen ninety never.

I'm having a bit of a love affair with the 90's these days. I don't quite know why, maybe it's because I have been listening to Nirvana and watching a lot of Cruel Intention/Fear/Clueless aka typical teen movies. A lot of people think that the 90's were horrible and that the music and fashion was bad and blah blah blah. I think they were quite brilliant. So take that and do what you will with it.
