laughing in my apartment, a lot. Alone.

Ok so I just found this amazing website from danielle and dinosaur toes and I feel like I may be addicted. Hooray for a new distraction from all of the many things I should be doing instead of looking at awkward family photos. I swear I will post one of my own once I find one so I don't feel so guilty. Or at least stage one, because THIS IS AMAZING.

Here are a couple of my favorites.

Hope your monday is going well!

Fill in the blank friday.

Yay! Joining in on another fill in the blank friday from Lauren's blog! It has been too long since I have done this.

Check out #7, consider that my friday update for the weekend :)

1. The best piece of advice I was ever given was when a hair stylist told me that whenever you start to think of things that have gone wrong in your life or things you start to feel regret, you nip it in the butt .

2. If I had a million dollars to give to one charity I would give it to the child foundation or something similar possible a charity that inspires community creativity because I believe thats what keeps the gears in the mind turning and smiles on faces .

3. If I got to choose my "last meal" it would be tex-mex. I almost said home cooking but man tex mex is where its at. Can I have a margarita with it as well? .

4. My hair is one of the only things I consistently like about myself. I just cut it all off about 6 months ago, ready for it to grow back and be mucho mucho long.

5. If at first you don't succeed don't sit around and think bad about yourself, its pointless. Get back up on your "horse" and gallop through the night towards super amazing things during your second go round. No one is perfect.

6. I have always been very excited.

7. Oh....and by the way.... I am headed out of town for the weekend! Yay college station to visit Will's sister and her new bebe and then off to Austin to see some fabulous friends and plan our future amazing endeavors together. (more to come of the endeavors, expect great things. Be excited.)

Ooo one more thing, watch this video. It is amazing. Owen will change your life, in a good way. We will be jamming this with the windows down and the wind in our hair on our road trip.

and this

tape.

So I am thinking a lot about colored tape. I feel like it is something that is sadly missing from my life and I feel a bit out of the know for not knowing where to acquire this beautiful equipment without ordering it online.

this tape can be found at Present & Correct

I am in love with this shop but they are UK based and they do not sell this in their Etsy store.

They have many other pretty things and I just can't wait to start making such beautiful packaging.

I just read about the owners journey here, pretty inspiring.

On a related note that may not seem related has anyone seen this or love it as much as I do?

Love is like a roll of tape

its real good at making two things one.

Maybe someday I will have a tape themed wedding.

Did this post get weird for anyone, if so, I love it anyways.

time.

Do you ever feel like there isn't enough time in the day? That you go and go and go, but you aren't quite sure what you did for the past 5 hours? I want to do so many things. Mainly I want to make and live off of making. I don't want to be over the top with money. I want my currency to be time and the way I spend it.

Thats my short rant for the day, it goes a long with a lot of big decisions I need to make in my life right now. Updates soon.

sissy.

So my life is a little different than many other people my age. My parents had me really young therefore they are still in the baby making stage apparently. Well, not my mom she doesn't want anymore bebes. I could go into more detail on the craziness that has taken place throughout my life, but I feel it is pretty pointless as I am generally a happy young lady and I don't think I turned out all too terrible. Some days I may have a different response, just a warning. So... I have a young stepmom (who I really love) and a very little sister, she turned two this weekend! (I have other siblings as well but this post is for my little sis.) The road trip there was great! Will and I really enjoyed the Prius we rented, I mean, I am dying to have that car as my own. Livi was a good pup the whole way there. We didn't make it to disney like planned but life goes on. It had been exactly one year since I had seen my dad and my sister and stepmom so I was soooooo excited! The drive seemed like nothing since I was getting such a big treat! Thank you Will for being such a trooper this trip as well, it really means a lot to me that you came along.

My sisters birthday party was at Amaya Papaya. Basically, the equivalent of a kindergarten classroom. It was so neat with a sandbox, a lemonade stand, dress up clothes, etc. Everyone had something to play with. Caitlin ( stepmom, who I will no long refer to as that as she is more of a friend and only 3 years older than I and awesome) is a cake decorator and always goes alllll  out on Ella's (little sis) cake. Her theme was Lilo and Stitch this year.

Ah here are some photos on how ridiculously cute my sister is at her bday. 

I have a bunch more photos soon to put up :) 

I am so happy that I am going to be done with school so I can see my family more than once a year. She finally recogizes me as Chelsea, her sister. Even though she probably doesn't understand what a sister is. This time was so great, when I left we got her to say "Bye Sissy" and "Bye Will" an "Bye Wivi". 

I am a big sissy, in a good way.
