photo thoughts

I love vintage engagement rings. I think this is very classic and stunning

Someone told me I looked just like this photo of Cher. I think she looks just like my mother in high school. I take it as a compliment.

This is absolutely amazing. If I could somehow mold this ring with the previous vintage ring, then this would be my perfect ideal ring.

I'm going to do this. With crayons and an embossing gun

I also really love this cut

I'm obsessed with lace dresses right now

Heh, awwwww

These have been piling up on my desktop, so I needed to clean house...

Waldorf and Statler

Ok, I think I could love this kitten

I liked trying to figure out who these people were. I got most of them

I knew I loved him

I plan on doing this, although I don't own any orange books

My future child

Ohmygosh... those ears

"Quick! Hide the books!"

I don't know which is more attractive, him or the camera?

Well, he is, that's for sure

Love the bikini

ambitions

I don't know why but the word ambition always makes me think of the word 'amphibians', which means frogs, and this post is nothing about frogs.

I used to be a big list writer. I make lists almost every day. Things I needed to remember, things to do, things I'd like to do, things that I like, things that I love, just random stuff.

Today I've been making a list of things in my head that I'd like to improve on, so I just wanted to write them down before I forgot:

• improve my manual skills with photography
• practice my french more (read books and watch films in french)
• go to the library more often
• run three miles in 15 mins
• learn more songs on my ukulele
• learn more chords on my guitar
• go through my Facebook and cleanse my friends list (not to be a jerk, but sometimes you realize that there are people that you really don't need to keep in contact with)
• make a new 5 year plan
• figure a plan to graduate within the next on coming year
• create a formal resume and portfolio

These are all short-term ambitions obviously, just stuff I aspire to get done soon. I think they're all reasonable, if not easy.

I don't think it would be possible to get in this shower without having to sing, "I'm gonna wash that man right outta my hair"

I would love to do this

I don't know whether I should laugh, or be afraid that my kids would do the same thing

I need a poster of this

To the left is a full body scan of a 250lb woman and to the right is a scan of a woman 120lbs. It's just some inspiration I needed. I lost 4lbs this week. 

I saw a collection of this artist's work. He draws different celebrities on match boxes and uses the sticks as hands

"a woman should have" -maya angelou

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..

enough money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to or needs to…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..

something perfect to wear if the employer, or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..

a youth she’s content to leave behind….

a past juicy enough that she’s looking forward to
retelling it in her old age….

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …..

a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .

one friend who always makes her laugh… and one who lets her cry…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….

a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …

eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal, that will make her guests feel honored…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …

a feeling of control over her destiny.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

how to fall in love without losing herself.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

when to try harder… and WHEN TO WALK AWAY…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

that she can’t change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

that her childhood may not have been perfect…but its over…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

what she would and wouldn’t do for love or more…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

how to live alone… even if she doesn’t like it…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW..

whom she can trust,
whom she can’t,
and why she shouldn’t take it personally…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

where to go…
be it to her best friend’s kitchen table…
or a charming inn in the woods…
when her soul needs soothing…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

what she can and can’t accomplish in a day…
a month…and a year…

graffiti art

You never really see this kind of thing in the streets of New York, but I stumbled upon these amazing photos of different graffiti art. Some of it's really just amazing. Enjoy.
