How is the list coming?
#4 didn't happen, but that was my choice...I'm going to the beach, which is #13 and having surgery, so I would have missed too many days from work. I would have gone again though if MMJ, Jack White + Ben Folds were there again, haha.
#5 happened...it was amazing + they are amazingly wonderful
#8 happened...at first I was like what is that? haha...cookie was aka for engagement ring...we looked twice before deciding on the most beautiful ring. Too bad it's sitting in the box :(
#10 is in the process (for the beach):
(sorry the pic is so bad, it's from the i-phone) Just needs to be finished w/ a backing + batting
It was supposed to be for Mike + I on the beach + for future picnics, but now it's sort of a mourning quilt. Making a quilt can be very theraputic.
The backing + batting is on now:
(another bad i-phone pic @ night)
#18...I didn't go see The Curious Case of Bejamin Button, but I bought + watched it at home. Such a great movie. Makes you appreciate the time you have. "I was thinking how nothing lasts, and what a shame that is." -B. Button "Your life is defined by its opportunities... even the ones you miss." -B. Button "Sometimes we're on a collision course, and we just don't know it. Whether it's by accident or by design, there's not a thing we can do about it." -B. Button "For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." -B. Button (to his daughter) "Benjamin, we're meant to lose the people we love. How else would we know how important they are to us?" -Mrs. Maple
#19 I did a little of. Need to do more though.
#21 I think it is :)
#22 Yep, I am journaling a LOT more!!! I think I should write a book, ha!
#24 hmm...i'm not feeling to magical. Magic might be gone.
#25 This is a hard one. I'm having mixed feelings right now.
I still have 83 days til my birthday. It's on a Friday, Yay!
It's the weirdest thing, I've been craving lemon sweets like crazy!!! I even had a dream about lemon oreos, haha. Yesterday at lunch I saw this cute cupcake at Whole Foods and guess what?!?! It's lemony sweet. It also has the biggest gumdrop on top I've ever seen. Major cuteness.
This was my fun lunch today :] Pretty cool huh?
I leave for Seaside, FL this Tues. I can't wait. It's just going to be mom + I. It was supposed to be my parents + Mike's parents first meeting (Mike was going too). I think it will be hard to see where Mike + I were getting married, but I need the time to relax + get back to being myself. I guess we'll see how hard it is. I plan to take lots of books, cameras, my journal + art supplies. I should have known it was too good to be true.
"When It's Good"
You're a prison I can't escape
You're a decision I never make
Heard me laughing
You heard me weep and moan
Oh- when it's good, it's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone
They say time will kill the pain
I say pain is gonna kill my time
Lord won't you save me
Or leave me alone
Cause when it's good, it's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone
Oh- gone
I hang your picture right above my mind
Don't do anything you can't deny
I could never be your pawn
Oh- cause when it's good, it's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone
Some drink to remember
Some to forget
Some for satisfaction
Some to regret
I hope a brighter day to you I've shown
Oh- cause when it's good, it's so, so good
And when it's gone, it's gone
When it's gone, it's gone
When it's gone, it's gone
When it's gone, Oh- it's gone
-Ben Harper
