one more thing

oh wait. one more thing i wanted to do. 

i have been favoriting about a million things a day on etsy lately, so i'v

e compiled my favorites of my favorites. so here we go:

i think the picture on the left bears some resemblance to jared and i, but he doesn't think so . his response when i showed him a little while ago was, "maria, were not asian." whatever, i still like it. 

               

maybe i'll just get this and then we can look alike. 

       

sunflowers and moleskines. best combo ever. 

bad blogger

i'm really trying to be a good blogger, but I just have just been so bad at it lately. and the longer i wait to write something new, the more i feel like it really need to write something impressive and i get somewhat intimidated. 

it has been so rainy this weekend, but i really love the rain so that's alright by me. 

we have a new urban outfitters downtown, so jared and i went yesterday. i really wanted to start confidently wearing scarves, but because there is not much occasion to wear them at home in florida, i've never really been a scarf wearer. anyways, i got one yesterday and i really love it. i decided that i want to dye my own scarf, because of this that i made last year:

this is kind of a weird picture of it, but it was a sample for a project from last year that i did:

there is a website online, dharma trading company, where you can buy plain white shirts, scarves, bibs, pretty much anything that you would want to dye or embellish. soooo, i ordered some scarves and i think i am going to dye it in the same pattern as above. i don't think i have time to do them right now, but i figured one school was out for break this month, i would have fun doing that. 

school is so crazily insane right now. i'm just really not enjoying it, and i'm having a hard time deciphering how much of it is i just need to push through and how much is that it just really might not be for me. i just don't know. 

but for tonight it's dinner and go-karting. zach, allie's boyfriend, is in town and i think we are all going to do a little racing and mini golfing. 

thanks

oh my. 

this school year. the last 4 weeks have been pretty overwhelming. i'm not very good at not getting consumed with stress. it kind of seems like its either no stress or way too much unhealthy stress. but i'm trying. 

in the mean time, i am taking allie and jared home with me this weekend for a big surprise 50th birthday party for my dad. its going to be so great. i have so much work to do this weekend, but i'm just not going to let that get in the way of an amazing weekend. 

i don't really have much to go on right now. i just need to decompress from this week. 

but for now, i am just really thankful for these two people. and for that matter many more. 

but for purposes of being a refuge from crazy work loads and maybe even more, from myself

so here we go, look at these two little cuties:

(allie and i now have a collection of really cute aprons in order to try and become more domestic. here is an example of two)

oh and here's wall-e and i at disney world. i just love this little guy:
