I accidentally deleted my facebook. I think I have almost everyone that used to be my friend but maybe not...I know I am missing Layne and Gerry.
Sigh. |

| stupid meme. |
[Nov. 13th, 2008|04:00 pm] |
A: What accessories do you wear everyday?
Wedding ring
B: What is your beauty routine?
I don't have a true beauty routine. I used to...but then the stuff that I used ran out or was discontinued. Working on that...since it's winter and my skin will be dry.
I moisturize with Victoria's Secret Vanilla Lace since I'm not sensitive to it. I have an obnoxiously sensitive sense of smell.
C: What was the last item of clothing (for yourself) that you purchased?
a white t-shirt secondhand from papaya prints (a japenese print). it's very thin and i love it.
D: Do you use a dresser, closet, or both?
closet kind of. i am disorganized, it makes me sad. my clothes are everywhere. it looks like a yard sale vomited.
E: What type of earrings are in your ears right now?
none. earrings normally make me itchy.
F: What type of figure do you have (measurements)?
curvy.
G: Do you wear glasses?
Yes.
H: What type of handbag do you carry?
a red utilitairan bag made out of cordouroy. it's not pretty but i guess it's cute. i need a new to me one.
I: What is your ideal style?
comfortable and quirky. quirky, in a good way. not sure i have accomplished that, lately, i'm pretty dorky.
J: What is your favorite brand of jeans?
ones that fit
K: Do you wear knee-hi stockings?
yes. lots in the winter especially.
L: Do you *have* to wear matching lingerie?
i can probably count on two hands how often i have cared about that.
M: Do you wear makeup?
Yes. not to work unless i am doing an event so i don't look "sleepy" which i am frequently told if I don't wear eye makeup. mostly because i am lazy in the mornings.
N: Do you wear nightgowns?
Not really
O: What outerwear do you put on when going out on a typical winters day?
a hooded sweatshirt, leggings, thermal shirt, regular shirt (long sleeves), gloves, hat (with hood over it) and a coat. oh, and snow boots with my pants tucked in. Minnesota is cold. it irks me when i see girls hopping on the bus in heels and no leggings. they don't look fashionable, they look vain.
P: What is your favorite perfume?
Vanilla (same reason as the lotion).
Q: Is your motto "quality over quantity" when it comes to clothing and accessories?
Yes, it is becoming so. It didn't used to be. I'm sick of my clothes falling apart.
R: Do you wear rain boots?
No, but I do want cute wellies. I wear snow boots to commute, though.
S: Do you wear socks or slippers when your feet get cold?
No, but i want some
T: Do you have a set of travel luggage?
nope
U: What is your daily uniform?
clothes
V: If you are married, did you wear a veil with your wedding dress? If not, how did you do your hair?
No veil. i wore my hair back in a pony tail with my bangs to the side. what a weird question. it's how i wore my hair all summer it seems. i'm not used to having much hair.
W: Do you wear a watch?
no
X: What item of clothing always makes you feel beautiful?
a cute black dress.
Y: What is your favorite type of yarn?
soft
Z: Do you prefer zippers or buttons?
buttons are easier to fix.
this meme makes me look deceptively low maintenance, which really isn't the case at all. |

Last night on my way home, as I often do, I became disoriented about which direction I was supposed to be going. I lack sense of direction and no matter how hard I try I never seem to be able to navigate if I venture off my known paths of this city. Completely disoriented and befuddled I wondered around bits of a neighborhood determined to figure out which way to go to get home on my own. I could have called a number of people for directions or even for a ride but wanted to walk alone to clear my head. The neighborhod reminded me of my birthplace and the neighborhoods that I grew up in. Throughout my wandering I kept hearing the same voice being projected from what I assumed was a park or a bar. I wondered why they would be hosting something outdoors on a chilly October night in Minnesota. It sounded like the same quality of sound that the movies in the park have. No matter what block I turned down, I could hear it but couldn’t discern the words or the speaker. Having misplaced my glasses it was even more of a challenge to navigate because the street signs were blurs and not well lit. Eventually, I found a dark park with no one in it and decided that the voice was probably being amplified from a different location.
I continued towards the voice thinking I could at least ask someone for the general direction of Snelling Avenue (a main road in Saint Paul) to get home. Minnesotans are generally helpful but I felt more comfortable asking someone at a gathering rather than a stranger on a dark street for directions. At this point I had ventured far enough from the main road that I couldn't place which direction I needed to go in to find it. Since I live on Snelling I knew that it would just be a matter of getting on the bus once I found it. When I first moved here it made me laugh out loud to say the street name aloud because it sounded silly. Not in the way that 'Lois Lane' or 'That Road' in Bloomington, IND makes me laugh but because it sounded like a made up word. As I walked I continued to hear the voice in whatever direction I went. After about 20 minutes I realized that the voice was not directing me to people at all and it didn’t seem to be coming from a central location, it seemed everywhere and I wondered briefly if I was going insane. Maybe I was going down the path of Joan of Arc and had finally snapped.
I had forgotten that the debates were on and that what I was hearing on every block was Barack Obama’s voice booming out of the televisions of houses on every block. It literally sounded like he was speaking to the entire neighborhood.
It made me proud to be part of the twin cities. I’ve never experienced anything like it. I have know idea why i couldn't hear John McCain...selective hearing? |

i think my favorite month is September.
-fall leaves
-pumpkin muffins
-soup!
-light coats
-light scarves
-music for the fall mood
-candles to keep warm when it's not quite cool enough for the heat
-halloween
-scary movies
-haunted houses (i'm such a chicken, last year i clutched my husband's sleeve and made him walk ahead of me with my eyes closed. i would open them a smidge every now and then. it was my way of easing my way into the whole haunted house thing (i am a jumpy person without someone in costume jumping out at me)
-fall smells
-halloween crafts with Ari
-Ari's halloween costume
-Dressing up myself (last year was the first time in a long time)
-concerts! (Magnetic Fields, Sisters of Mercy, Woven Hand, Legendary Pink Dots) we won't be able to go to all of them but they are all such good bands for fall.
mmm pumpkin muffins |

You Are Likely a First Born
|
At your darkest moments, you feel guilty.
At work and school, you do best when you're researching.
When you love someone, you tend to agree with them often.
In friendship, you are considerate and compromising.
Your ideal careers are: business, research, counseling, promotion, and speaking.
You will leave your mark on the world with discoveries, new information, and teaching people to dream.

approximately one year ago my boss gave me a potted orchid as a gift. knowing nothing about orchids i continued to water it after the petals fell off, even though I thought it was likely dead.
now, there are green buds! i am so proud of my plant. it's the longest i have kept a plant alive and it is budding. i had almost given up on it. i just noticed that the tips of one side are yellow though so i moved it to my desk for now. |
