I’m back in the Cake-ing business:: I was pretty excited about the outcome this time.
I’m changing homes soon! Hold tight until then :)

Thank you, gran, for causing my new addiction to watching the news every time I settle myself down at my computer. Thank you, MSNBC, for making me even more (and rightfully so) paranoid. Yes, I am. Though many of you would think that wasn’t even possible, I am. Since Wednesday I’ve been following the cases of the Auburn student Lauren Burk, 18, who was found shot to death on Tuesday,...
Got out of my first class 1 hour early. Do i use my time to study for midterm next class? ‘course not. Give me an ipod and a bench instead.

red kimono february
There was a moment of clarity yesterday, however brief, it was undeniable. It came to me, like a bolt from the blue, wrapped in that same unexpected cotton that I’ve come to love. I was part of the system, just another brick in the wall. We were moving in unison, like hypnotized cattle, submissive to the mantra provoking voice of some unseen cowboy. We were the material that traffic is made...
update: A woman came into work tonight gushing about her dog out of nowhere. I was just sitting at the bar (standing, really) making her marble mocha macchiato and zebra mocha and she blurts out, “I miss my dog!” Okay? I pretended to be interested and carry conversations. Her dog is in obedience school, 5 month old german shepherd, she works at Wal Mart and has something to do with the...
they're haunting me.
I can’t tell you how many times today I’ve encountered one of these today. The woman in the drive-thru at starbucks was in a convertable and had one of these in her lap. I’ve seen 3 SPCA commercials since I sat down fifteen minutes ago. AND two emais were on this subject. i really really really want a puppy. please?
i'm a cynic, but my heart's not in it.
This is one of those days that feels like spring about one month before it’s actually spring-time. So it’s really only fitting that I’m sitting here drinking a coke and listening to Jack Johnson who is my spring music guilty pleasure that people just don’t seem to share with me. I woke up this morning about three hours later than I had planned to, got dressed and left the...
Happy Valentine's Day!
I just heard a woman announce that her husband got her cashews and 2 cases of beer for her big v-day gift. Thanks honey, you shouldn’t have.
Just in Time
So funny that I came across this article. Just yesterday I talked to a friend of mine who is a “dating expert” (yes, very Sex in the City, minus the sex. And the city, for that matter). We discussed a lot of things, and I disagree with most of the things she says. You see, she believes in all of those “rules.” How often you call, when you call, what you say, how to seem...
Did I just make my blog a little more girly? Yes. Am I a girl? Yes. I have the entire day off tomorrw, and I just about don’t know what to do with myself. So far these things are on the list for the day-time:: 1. Clean my room. For real. All the way. 2. Return ring to James Avery. 3. More quality lazing. 4. I have nothing else on this list. That is awesome. I truly do have worthwhile...
I just overheard this guy
I just overheard this guy in the ‘bucks say he got a $2700 ticket for climbing the spires of the Notre Dame. Really?
priorities
I just switched over 5 lanes of the highway in lunch hour traffic while texting. Is that something to be proud of? Yes.
coffee collar
Weird fact: my left collar bone aches when i drink too much coffee. True.
If i could,
If i could, there would be a lot of things i’d change about the starbucks i work at. Starting with the color of chairs…
I’m still a little sick and have layed in bed a bit too long after the initial wake-up, even though its still only 9am. Babies are playing excitedly and I’m being beaconed to make pancakes. But really my nearly 11 hours of sleep have only made me realize again (if that was possible) how ridiculously comfortable my bed is, and I don’t want to leave it. Big day today, though. And...
Eavesdropper
I’m really bad at this. I sit in places, like I am in starbucks right now, and I can’t help but listen in on neighboring conversations. Even with my headphones in or when I’m in deep study. The problem is when I feel so convicted to make some side-comment at them. Usually I can hold my tongue and prevent it, but sometimes it does actually happen. Example: Today, Five minutes...
even in college you’re not free from the late night craft project.
My goal for the month of February: learn how to appreciate and bask in relaxation, while still being productive and getting everything done. Today I was out of school 1 class early, and instead of getting something done in my extra time before work, I’ve been quite lazy. And instead of feeling rejuvenated and thankful for an afternoon off, I’m angry and more stressed out. Not good! ...
i'm sending an SOS
I’m picking this thing back up, dusting it off, and making it new. It’s like an old cookie that i’ve heated up and dipped in milk, real milk not that soy stuff that is actually good in a chai or ice cream but not with any kind of cereal. Yeah, that’s about how most of these posts are going to sound. Deal!

it’s even better the next day.
wit is my favorite kind of humor. i think this is genius.
it’s sad when my only artistic output these days comes in the form of starbucks promotion boards. the one on the left has a wicked receding hairline.
