Hump Day

It seems that I'm getting more & more annoyed with being at work today... I'm trying to be productive & get all these tasks done, but as soon as I start making headway on one thing 2 more jump on the list... le'sigh... It's really a shame that I want to take a break already & I've only been here for an hour 15 mins. 

So I'm taking a secret blogging break. The kind where whenever the powers that be come back into the office I hit that good ol' -alt/tab- to pretend that I've been working on this travel itinerary all along. *shrug*

I decided to do the 'photo an hour' today. The biggest challenge I foresee is not having 7 pictures of my desk or computer... oh and I'm going to try not to be frustrated at the fact that I can't seem to EVER upload a photo from my phone in this office!!! grrr... oh well.

Speaking of uploading photos... I just got instagram on my phone a few days ago ::cheers from the android market:: I'm using it as inspiration to photograph more. I am slowly finding users to follow & one of them is Meredith of OneSheepishGirl. (check out her blog, it's lovely) Today she yarn bombed her desk in her media class & it has totally inspired me to actually do it. I've been wanting to yarn bomb something but never really put much thought into it. But now, I've decided to bomb my favorite OU bench. (there use to be the most awesome tree next to it, but sadly it was cut down...) I'm going to bomb my bench ^.^ There will be pictures of this endeavor!

I feel so much better now :)

Update!

Sad News: My computer is going on week 2 of being in the shop after a sad tumble off my bed :( Hopefully it'll be back to my antsy fingers soon.
Not so Sad News: I'm blogging from work... this is highly frowned upon... *shrug, oh well*
Good News: This last weekend was 'Alumni Weekend' for Oakwood University & I got to see my family.
Great News: My mom is staying an extra day! Yay me!!!

Alumni Weekend is always a lot of fun.  Spending time with family, seeing classmates from college, & watching for the outrageous church outfits girls manage to put together.  The final alumni weekend activity is a block party where you can browse booths. Sadly, my favorite booth (a bookseller) wasn't present this year :/ I once got a signed copy of a Nikki Giovanni collection of poems from him, I was psyched. :)

Anywho... I'm glad to have experienced another homecoming! Now it's back to work... le'sigh...

Dress: thrifted - leggings: walmart - belt: borrowed from roommate - bag: handmade granny strip tote
Hair: day 4 of a twist out

This dress has got to be one of my favorite warm weather pieces to wear. Its quite comfy & relaxed. I just wish it was a smidge longer so I wouldn't have to wear leggings with it.  I plan to make a pattern from this piece & reproduce it. We'll see how that goes ^.^

For All the Thrifters :)

For all the thrifters, crocheters, & knitters... For all the crafters & recyclers... For all the music makers & all the dreamers of dreams... :)

Blog Love

from: terasue.com

While browsing blogs this afternoon, I found this photo on Terasue.com. I love finding affirmations like this. They are always very uplifting and it's comforting to know that other people are going through similar struggles & epiphanies as I am.  We are truly never alone in our difficulties.

Check out the lovely site --> HERE!

ps... she's a doggie mommy too ^.^

Paper waste

The amount of wasted paper I see on a daily basis in this office is RIDICULOUS!  I mean, WHY must a particular document be copied 3 times when you have access to a SHARED COMPUTER NETWORK FOLDER?!?!?!  And when I keep the majority of my docs in the computer instead of printing them & when they do have to be printed, I choose double sided... you look at me like IM CRAZY?!?!?!

We killin trees like its nothing in here... Mother Nature is NOT pleased...

Need More...

• Colorful tights
• bright blankets
• floral prints

Spring has sprung and I want flowers EVERYWHERE!!! ^.^ I think I'm going to crochet a bouquet of flowers for the living room.  Time to plan that craft :) I hope you are having a smashing Tuesday :)
