serene

 

“For the one sound in body and serene of mind there is no such thing as bad weather; every sky has its beauty, and storms which whip the blood do but make it pulse more vigorously.”

 George Gissing

thrifting

 Today I went thrifting.

One of my favorite things in the whole world to do is shop.

And another one of my favorite things in the whole world to do is buy cool clothes for cheap.

=)

That's why I love thrifting.

 Here are today's finds:

(bought at Plato's Closet and Forever 21)

Is my indie-ness shining through a little?

I was sick this weekend. Again.  Every time I get sick (usually in my case with strep or a very bad cold) I say, "Alright, if I can make it three more weeks and not get sick, I will count that as accomplishment."  And it really is an accomplishment when I manage that, because more often I don't make it more than a 2 and a half weeks.  Call it what you like, lack of vitamins, calcium, exercise...I've given up trying to name the cause.  And it seems the docs have, too.  They just put me on meds and say "This'll do it."

So yesterday I stayed home from church and had the house to myself for a few hours.  

I unenthusiastically watched TV for the majority of that time, then for the rest of the day wandered around aimlessly, stopping now and then to commit myself to some sort of activity. 

I came away from the day having 

1.) Drawn a funny little man with a Sharpie,

2.) Organized all my my numerous notebooks and binders of loose writings,

3.) And taken a picture of the pretty blooming trees against the shadowy cloud cover outside my window. 

Not a bad day. Not a bad day at all.

beautiful mess

My bedroom floor sees a lot of different kinds of messes.  This is personally my favorite kind. 
A few weeks ago I started a little project and this is what resulted after a half hour of cutting and ripping of paper.
