crushin' hard

celebrity crush list pour moi (in no particular order):

1. harrison ford (really. hans solo. indiana jones. what more can you ask for.)

2. [the young] kurt russell (possibly my first real celebrity crush. watch the computer wore tennis shoes, the strongest man in the world, and the invisible man. you will understand.)

3. ryan gosling (a little cliche, but really.)

4. josh duhamel (his personality. his HAIR. oh goodness.)

5. michael buble (he has a voice that melts me like butter. and he's adorable to boot.)

6. paul wesley (ok, i am embarrassed to admit this one. don't judge me. it's that time of the semester that i need a distraction...and vampire diaries came up on my netflix suggestions and i'd heard it was good...ok yah. this sounds dumb. but really. he. is. gorgeous.)

7. jim parsons (ok, i know he plays sheldon cooper. but i love sheldon. also, he's gay. so unfortunate.)

8. neil patrick harris (also gay. so so so sad.)

9. jason segel (oh my gosh. he is adorable. i love him as marshall. so cute with lily.)

10. matthew goode (one of the only men that looks good with facial hair. but really.)

hey girl.

basically, i have an amazing roommate who knew i was having a bad day. and decided to make me this.
it almost made me cry from pure joy. i mean, my own hey girl?? what more could you ask for in life??
not much, my friends. not much.
i am feeling very grateful for friends who make my life a little bit more enjoyable on those days when it may be too much for me to handle.
other things that made me smile today:
-i remembered GENERAL CONFERENCE is this weekend!
-penelope is coming to see me. happy day indeed!! i have missed that girl. too much.
-the new Regina Spektor album. in particular these songs:

oh, how i adore her. she can do no wrong.
that is all.

and by then...it's like seven fifteen

Via.

Once upon a time I got really sick and had to move back home to be babied for a while... like eight months.

 Now I am mostly better, but find myself with no job, and basically no life until I get to move back to school later this month. 

So in the meantime 

 I'll read a book

Or maybe two or three

I'll add a few new paintings

To my gallery

I'll play guitar and knit and cook

And basically

Just wonder, when will my life begin..

and ... watch Disney movies in Spanish to try to pretend those three years taught me something

 I could basically be Rapunzel.. except you know the whole having hair and Zachary Levi thing . dang.

Via.

Feeling a bit patriotic...

Need I say more?
These people blow my mind. They have so much spirit and so much talent and just blow it all out of the water.
I love Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May Treanor. Not only are they undefeated and stick together through everything, they are both married and make family a huge priority. Kerri brings her kids and husband with her every single time. Misty supports her husband in his football career and she is a great mom to her baby. Blows my mind.
It ALL blows my mind.
In short, I LOVE THE OLYMPICS.

Keira Knightly Milkmaid Braid

My hair is at a super awkward stage of life, as I am trying to decide to chop it into a pixie again or grow it. So I got really excited when I came across pictures of this gorgeous milkmaid updo. My hair is totally long enough for that! 

Super duper easy, and really cute! It can be altered slightly to work for almost all lengths of hair, and would be a fabulous second day hair style.

Hey Girl

So I may have a slight celebrity crush on Ryan Gosling and to say that these makes me laugh is in fact true. 

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!
