Healthy.

Bubble bath, new shoes, daydreaming, ribs for supper, stargazing & a bonfire.

Greetings bloggers!

I hope you had a lovely weekend.

I did.

My parents & little sister came to CA to visit.

We had a ton of fun.

Everything is better when they're around.

-Got to sleep in

-Didn't have any trouble choosing an outfit to wear

-Kept up with the entire lecture during my history class

-Ate a lovely supper alone

-Got lost in some wedding blogs

-Came up with the perfect Mother's Day gift

-Talked to a guy who looks dangerously similar to Ryan Reynolds

He's really cute & nice.

-Listened to the same cheeky love song

Today was another spectacular day.

What's been putting you in a good mood lately?

Untroubled.

Today I woke up early, talked to my best friends, put a dent in my homework pile, daydreamed & listened to this song.

Craving.

Home, best friends, corn on the cob, long weekends, bonfires, hugs, photo shoots, weddings, bare feet, flowers, Alaska, birthday, French, hair cuts, motorcycle rides, books, grills, puppy & thunderstorms.

I've got summer in the midwest on my mind.

Absent.

Oh my goodness!

I cannot believe that I haven't blogged in almost 2 weeks.

Crazy considering I blog almost everyday.

To catch all of you up on my whereabouts...

I've been in MEXICO! Cancun to be exact.

Now I know what you're thinking but because I am a pathetic excuse for a young adult, there was zero partying for me.

I enjoyed a couple strawberry daiquiris on the beach and by the pool but that was the extent of it.

Here are a few pictures of what we DID do...

Sombreros, white sand, authentic tacos, SPF 100, petting dolphins, Spanglish, over priced ice cream, submarine scooters, diarrhea, overly excited waiters, American Network, hammocks & Coca-Cola Light.

All-in-all it was a great time.

Upbeat.

My apologies for being a sucky blogger lately.

Here's some stuff that's been going on in my life recently:

School

Studying for midterms have taken over my life.

Ben Rector

He's all I've been listening to for the past 5 days. I'm obsessed.

Art History

I know I'm a nerd, but I don't care. I LOVE IT.

Photography

I've cooked up some ideas for some summer photo shoots that I can't wait to try out.

Spring Break

I'm going to MEXICO! Yep, with my friend Caroline.

In 6 days we will be on our way to Cancun for a whole week!

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend.

Bleak.

Affluent.

Fervid.

Tonight I was asked who my favorite artist was.

Without hesitation this man's name came out of my mouth.

Andy Warhol is a major contributor in my decision to study art.

But after I gave it some thought, I realized I have so many favorites now that I am more educated on the subject.

[In no particular order]

Toulouse Lautrec

Edgar Degas

Alfred Sieglitz

Jacques-Louis David

Banksy

Claude Monet

Gustav Klimt

Damien Hirst

Artemisia Gentileschi

Claes Oldenburg

Just to name a few.

Clear.

{Trail mix, zip-ups & Norma Jean}

Ugh...

I wish my hair would grow

I wish I wasn't so easily captivated

I wish I had a dog

I wish his face wasn't blank in my dreams

I wish I knew what I wanted

I wish I wasn't so far away

I wish my macbook wasn't cracked

I wish I had some answers

I wish the sun would stop stalking me

I wish someone would write me a song

I wish it was Decemeber 16th

I wish I would stop pretending I am happy being alone

I wish I liked vegetables more

I wish you won't read this as a sad post

I have an incredibly blessed life & I am grateful

I just wish I could sleep.

Aimless.

Everything it seems I like's a little bit sweeter, a little bit fatter, a little bit harmful for me.

[Diet coke, postcards, chinese food & Christmas trees]

So please be kind if I'm a mess.

Jolly.

All the stores are setting out decorations and playing carols, so I think this is the perfect time to establish my Christmas list...

Wrist warmers

{real mittens aren't necessary during a west coast winter}

Fur scarf

{faux of course}

Black zip wedges

{drool}

But what I would like most is to be back in Minnesota and enjoy the holiday with my family.

One month and 2 days!

Avid.

My current desires:

1. A weekend at home.

2. Patience.

3. Art History smarts.

Ugh.
