And if i knew the answers i would tell you now just what would be the chances that i could show you how If i knew where all the tears were coming from

By midnight tonight my weekend will have started! Shea & I are taking a road trip to our old home Jackson, MS. This is going to be a really great weekend with all of my closest friends. All day Friday I'm spending with my best friend Dea. My other best friend Lexie is coming up from New Orleans to see me & I haven't seen her in a couple of months. Another close friend Joshua is coming to Jackson from Nashville to see Shea & I. I haven't seen him in 2 years!
I'm celebrating my friend Sapna's 22nd birthday on Saturday. But she doesn't I'm coming, so it will be a big surprise!

I'll be back on Sunday some time so I hope all of you lovelies have a great weekend!

This photo was taken by my cousin Stephanie that just moved to Seattle with her husband Michael (Happy Birthday Michael!) It is a beautiful tree, but I'm not sure what it is? Can anyone tell me?

I know the darkness pulls on you but it’s just a point of view when you’re outside looking in you belong to someone

Today is a wonderful blustery day. I made breakfast & tea for my sister & me before I headed out the door to class this morning. I really enjoy being in my kitchen & making things, even if it's just hot chocolate filled with a plethora of marshmellows. I have found so many great new blogs lately & I have had a lot of inspiration streaming through my mind. So to all you bloggers, thank you for the inspiration everyday.

I'm almost done with my costume! There has been a lot of sewing going on & a little blood sometimes, but I'm really happy with what it has become.

Yesterday wasn't a very good day, I was rather angry at the male gender & my faith in them was slowly deteriorating in my mind. I even might have given a mean look to a guy in my class just because he was a male! Oh that's really bad I know. It's hard to see your best friends go through something & there is nothing that you can really do. It's a helpless feeling, but I know that listening & being a comfort & good old chocolate always helps. I need to go buy a lot of chocolate!

Oh this is the teacup that I found in a thrift store this summer & I had to have it! It came with a saucer too. Bye Mates!

Cause behind its door there's nothing to keep my fingers warm & all i find are souvenirs from better times before the gleam of your taillights fading

My Monday turned out to be the best Monday I have had in a long time! I'm glad that the week got started off so well, hopefully it will continue through out these next couple of days.

Yesterday, I decided to go thrifting to see what I could find for my apartment & maybe I would find something to add to my autumn wardrobe. I went to my favorite thrift store in town. I found a chair for my dining room table & a big frame (I'm working on a project.) As I made my way to the counter I figured I should probably look for coats since I need one for the chilly weather. The first coat I saw is what I have been wanting for the longest time. It was a carpet bag coat. It was vintage & all orange. I tried it on & it was a little big but nothing a needle & thread can't fix. I looked at the price & thought it was a pretty good deal for this kind of coat, so I decided to purchase it. When I got to the check out desk & handed the coat over, the woman said, that because the coat is orange I got 50% off becuase it was Orange Day in the store! Anything in the store that is orange was half off! I really could not believe it! I basically got this coat for dirt cheap & I was the happiest girl! I'll have to post photos of it.

I received this photo in my email today & I thought it was a really cool idea. Maybe I'll try something like this with an old book. I'm in a creative mood today, well more then most days, so who knows what I'll come up with today.

And I'm feeling the pull dragging me off again & I'm feeling so small against the big sky tonight

It's a gray, rainy Monday morning. I woke up to the sound of rain hitting puddles on the street outside & nothing could make me happier then this on a Monday morning. It's officially Music Monday! This is my first post for Music Monday & I'm so excited to be featuring one of my favorite bands, The Swell Season. Tomorrow is their release date for the followup album to the Once album they did a couple years back. If you have never listened to the magical duo of Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova please go here. If you happen to be in one of the cities they are touring this fall, you should go & check them out! I had a friend see them last year when they came to town & she said it was unbelievable. Happy Music Monday! Oh also if you want to leave a comment telling me someone you like & you think I should listen to please do. It's all about sharing the music.
Title: Feeling The Pull by The Swell Season

We made a choice and we knew we would pay for stealing the joy and trying to escape from the arms of this low

Sunday afternoon & even though I went to bed at 1am, I feel completely exhausted. Maybe it was all that candy I had yesterday, it's catching up to me. I know some of y'all have probably already seen the glorious window displays that Anthropologie has, but it's always nice to look at them again. I hope you are having a cozy Sunday at home. It's Soup Sunday where my sister & I make homemade soup & have our friend Michelle over for a movie to end the weekend & make a good start to our week. I don't think I am ready for the week to start, so I'm trying to trick my mind into thinking it's going to be good. So far not working.
Title: This Low by The Swell Season

I was following the pack all swallowed in their coats with scarves of red tied round their throats to keep their little heads from fallin in the snow

Although life seems a little crazy right now, I am in a state of mellowness. Today I'm channeling my inner Penny Lane. The somber ways & chillness that is all of who she is. It also might have to do with this vest that I just purchased & I'm wearing right now. It makes me feel cozy & carefree.

• I finally went to see Where The Wild Things Are & since I have never read the book, I wasn't sure what to expect. I liked it very much & the childish play to it that was so endearing & real. Now that I know what it is all about I can begin to make my Max costume for Halloween!
• Last night I was on the phone with my bf Lexie for 7 hours. I miss just the pure fun of having girl talk over the phone. I think sometimes technology can take over my life & I use that as a form of communication. But a real letter or a call is almost the best.
• I have felt kind of helpless in situations lately, all I can do is be a good friend/ sister & listen. I'm better at listening then attempting to give my opinion.
• I have been counting down the days til I get to taste the glorious Thanksgiving pumpkin pie

• I have been loving the sounds of Fleet Foxes lately, if you cannot tell from the past two titles of my post. If you have never listened to them you should here

Title: White Winter Hymnal by Fleet Foxes

Go with your arms held wide happiness in your eyes, convincing and stay the night, turn out every light you see and lay them down buried in the ground

Being completely honest with yourself is something that is quite a difficult task, well for me it is. I feel like there are so many things happening. So much going on in my head, my life, the world, in other peoples lives. You know when you feel change coming, not just the season but in your life. Something is coming on the horizon if you will.
I promised my best friend tonight that I will be single & free as long as it takes to find the mac to my cheese. And I will try to take advantage of this time of my life until something else comes a long & it all changes. So this is me embracing, once again, where I am & who I am at this very moment.

You walk along the stream Your head caught in a waking dream Your protector's coming home (coming home) As you lay to die beside me, baby

I have been hiding away for a bit but I am ready to come back I think.

I’m in love with a girl, sees what you are (what you are) tell…tell them you know, tell them your great big poem

Finally went & picked up a copy of the Break Up & I was not at all let down by the amazing duet between Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson. This photoshoot is in the new Rolling Stone & I'm inlove with the photos & Scarlett's new brassy red hair.

Oh, when you're with me darling I don't believe in anyone else I'm so confused by you I don't know what to do oh, when you're with me darling

Where to begin? I feel like I have been gone for so long! It's weird when you look back & you can't remember what you did a week ago just because everything has been up & down. That's how my life has been the past two weeks. Shea & I officially moved in 2 weeks ago to our new little place & the first weekend we were there we had a very close girlfriend Jess & her guy Jordan come to stay with us. It was so amazing having them come & they helped us set up our apartment & make it really feel like a home. As you can see I did my page wall! It's in the dining room & I love it! We had a picnic on our porch one day & the weather was perfect.
Shea & I wanted to get all the painting done before this week started so our friend Michelle came over & helped us slather the walls in blue. We had a lot of fun dancing & painting our faces. That's what you do when you run out of walls to paint I guess. So our little place is almost done, there are a couple of things Shea & I want to get, but it's all painted. It really feels so cozy & like my little home.
Okay so last night my favorite band came to town, U2. I have waited to see them in concert for about ten years now. I remember the first time I heard a U2 song. I was rising in the car with my brother Cale & Sunday Bloody Sunday came on. I didn't know what it meant at the time but I knew I was going to love this band for a very long time. My brother Cale & my sister in law Ky couldn't make the concert so they gave, yes gave, the tickets to Shea & I! How lucky am I! So last night Shea, My brother Cody, sister in law Jaci & I stood about 50ft away from rocks gods. It was a surreal moment when The Edge came on stage for the first time. I was just in shock. The concert was just completely epic, other then being in Dallas surrounded by Ed Hardey wearing tools. By the way I had no idea that women wear high heels, YES high heels to concerts! All the women looked like they were dressed up to go to a club. It was just insane, Dallas people, they are very different from Fort Worth people, let me just tell you that. Okay so i could write on & on about that but anywho. Hopefully next time I post I will have more photos of my lil flat. I'm headed down to Housten this weekend. OIh my gosh Where The Wild Things Are this weekend, which I'm very excited about! I hope you bloggers out there are having an amazing week & that you are loving the autumn. Tata

And though years have come & years have gone we're still waiting for the rain oh but I can see the clouds gathering now are you ready

I wish I could do an in depth post of what's going on right now in my life & how wonderful this weekend was, but the lack of time is not letting me. My sister & I are completely moved in to our new lil home, thanks to my big brother Beau & my lovely friend Michelle coming to lend a hand with heavy boxes. I had more friends come in this weekend & it was so good to see all of them! I'll post pics of my new lil flat soon. I'm loving every minute of decorating it & every time I walk in the door I say a prayer & thank my Father God for blessing us with it. Until next time here are some lovely photos I have been gauking at lately. I hope y'all have a wonderful week!
