Today is the 222nd day of the year.The number is so perfect you'd almost think I chose this date deliberately to start writing on this blog again. I didn't. But it would've been so cool if I had...ANYWAY- when I first set up this blog I made a huge deal about how I was doing… Continue reading Random recap
First off- yes I did promise no more Disney... but this is kinda worth it. Secondly I did in fact say Disney and Dali. As in Salvador Dali. As in melting clocks man. (Among other fantastic works of art) Just in case you are still confused as to whom I'm referring to:So apparently in 1945… Continue reading Day 5: Inspirational Animated Shorts: Disney and Dali
This will be the last one from Disney. This one takes a step away from the others in that it doesn't feel as 'artistic' as the others- it feels like a short Disney cartoon. And it is.

Though my zeal and excitement for unpacking has waned. I honestly don't have that much left- but am sorta burned out after being so busy for the past 6 weeks. Yesterday I sat down and 'virtually' rearranged my home- trying to figure out the best way to situate the last 2 rooms. My office and… Continue reading July 1st- and yes- I'm still unpacking
So for the last 2 months I've essentially been up to 3 things: unpacking, deep cleaning and planning a friend of mine's baby shower. It's been a busy past 2 months. During that time I managed to lose my phone. Twice. The first time it dropped out of my pocket as I went to use… Continue reading New Phone!
