my day off


.

So, today I had a day off. My only true day off, since I had a law paper from winter semester due last night and I start spring semester tomorrow.

My day off went like this: running at the gym, dealing with sprinkler stuff (turning the water on while my nice neighbor fixed them), taking Milo to school, buying weed killer and plants, home for Mason, buying Mason a new helmet and myself a new dog crap scooper (my favorite purchase of course), picking up Milo, going to the mall to pick up Milo's glasses, spraying weeds, BBQ hotdogs with the boys, fertilizing the yard, planting flowers, running the sprinkers, dishes and laundry.

Funny thing is that at the end of the day I still felt so relaxed that I had absolutely no homework to think about. Oh Monday April 26, how I loved you. Next up: Tuesday. Tuesday on campus from 8:30am-8:00pm. It's going to be fun.

Oh, and here is the new Milo:

So far he's lovin' them. Silly little kid.

happy shmappy

So today I officially got one year closer to the dreaded three zero. I also dealt with rain and hail (when there should be sunshine and birds singing - don't they know it's my birthday?), the stress of finals starting, AND to top it all off...my car battery died and my car wouldn't start when I left campus. Plus did I mention I've been stressed with school? I feel emotionally drained, and I didn't even want to celebrate my birthday yesterday.

Then today I opened my google reader to find a new post by my pal, Amanda. I noticed the post was titled This is Emily, but I figured it was probably something about her cousin Emily. It wasn't. It is an entire post all about me! I was shocked, somewhat embarrassed, and super flattered that I got a post all about me for my birthday. And I laughed at all the pictures she used.

To add to that, my mom brought me desserts from Dipidee (I may have eaten one of the cupcakes before I took the picture) and my mother-in-law and sister-in-law got me my most favorite sugar cookies in the whole wide world (from Smart Cookie).

And, best of all, Mason gave me a present he put together and wrapped all on his own. No offense to the other gifts and thoughtful wishes today, but this was by far my most favorite one.

He said he picked the pink box of nerds because he figured I'd like that color better than the blue box, and the soccer ball bead is to remind me of him since he plays soccer. He had everything wrapped up in a sheet of his $50 note paper.

So, maybe I'm getting older (and not really feeling any wiser), and maybe I'm still super crazy-brained about life right now - but it turns out, I am easily coddled by sugary treats and random presents from 7 year olds.

Happy birthday!

yes, i know

I haven't been so good at the blogging thing. Well, I just feel like my life is pretty same old lately. But to keep up interest on this here page, here's a few random moments from my life:

Last Saturday while Milo was eating Cheetos and chattering away (which he is ALWAYS doing), he suddenly started crying. Like, hold your breath for a few seconds because the pain is that bad, cry. Turns out Milo bit his own finger while eating Cheetos. Yep, chalk one up for the stories I'm retelling to any future girlfriend.

I realized that I have too many decision in life, and I really wish there was a service provided that could make some of them for me.

And I really, REALLY, with all my heart and soul, hate the word juxtapose. I so hope people in the ad world stop thinking it's a useful description for creative things before I get there.

Oh Summer, Milo has forgotten you.


.

Milo: Why do you even buy me short sleeve shirts if it's always too cold to wear them?

Me: Because they're for you to wear when it's not winter.
Milo: But it's always winter.

Yes Milo, I feel like that too.

problem: solved.

I don't know why, but I have a fascination for National Geographic. I guess I'm probably not the only one. I've thought about subscribing to it multiple times, thinking maybe it'd get my kids to have a fascination with it too, but I have an issue subscribing to magazines right now because I know I don't really have time to read them and I really, really, really don't like wasting paper (it's a weird quirk).

Then yesterday I went to DI, and guess what I found?! National Geographic magazines for $.25! Not only do I get to buy them cheap, I get to save trees and I only have to read them when I want.

And the best part is my kids seem to really like them.

Probably the most boring news ever, but I am excited.

I saw this on someone else's blog. I thought it was kinda cool. And besides, with Valentine's Day coming up - what better way to celebrate than think about myself over and over?

I wish... i already had the job i want
I had... a long day
I hate... mean people
I miss... my normal life
I fear... that i won't get a good internship, leading to a not good job
I feel... tired
I hear... indian jones on the tv downstairs
I smell... my nose
I crave... expensive restaurant meals
I search... for things online
I wonder... what my grades will be like when i graduate
I regret... mistakes
I love... being happy
I care... that my boys are taken care of
I always... want to be perfect
I am not... perfect
I believe... that i am blessed, although sometimes i don't know why
I could... be a blond
I dance... and never want to stop
I sing... loud to songs i know
I don't always... know the answers
I write... with a blue or black pen
I win... and i rub it in
I lose... my mind quite often
I never... want to be without my iphone
I never listen... to crappy music
I can usually be found... at school
I am scared of.... spiders
I need... sleep or i get grouchy
I am happy about... being in my advertising program

because my mind is drawn to crazy


.

I decided to start a new blog. I'm not going to stop posting on this one. But this semester I've started my advertising classes, and I've been getting into ads and finding creative stuff online. So instead of forcing all of you to look at the things I've found or the assignments I'm working on - I'll only force those of you who would like to be subjected to such torture and randomness.


If you'd like a small window to my madness, CLICK HERE. And I'd love to hear what you think about projects I'm working on - you can even leave it anonymous so I don't know who it is that hates my stuff.
