music exchange

photos: 1, 2

i've been stressed all week.

i'm sorry i haven't been updating as much as i would like!

the visit with the family was nice & relaxing.

i need some new music. i'm hoping you all can help me with it : ) i like indie folk rock mostly...does that make sense? anyways, stuff like mumford & sons, radical face, & beirut.

& here are a few songs i would like to share with you: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (my favorite right now is 3)

so, please leave song suggestions in the comments! thanks loves : )

this afternoon

i'm enjoying a relaxing sabbath afternoon visiting with my family. raquel made peanut butter & chocolate chip cookies & now she is making a collage. i am planning to get some crafting in this afternoon too.
i recently labeled all of my posts & i added some of the labels on my sidebar. but now i cannot figure out how to have them show up at the end of each post. can anyone help with that??
i'll leave you with some giveaway links!! brinja is giving away two lovely bird brooches here. & sarah is giving away the cutest little reversible drawstring bag here.
replies:
brit: thanks brit! & yeah...i can't decide if i want to buy it or not...hmmm : )
dandelionkisses: yes i do, & actually i didn't realize, but i like it with just the birds & not the rose photo. it looks neat!!
pauline: oh how cool! it's a real commitment. & part time would be the way to go if you have a job for sure. let me know if you do start the grad school thing. i'm studying sociology. i'm hoping to be a professor at a community college eventually. & my address is the same(ish) i will just get it when i visit my family again. i can send you my new one too (i just have to check with the lady i live with to make sure it's ok)! thanks : )
amy: hehe. yuuumm.
molly: hello! yes it is! are you (or were you) in grad school? what are (were) you studying?

grad school

week three of grad school is almost over! it's been tough, but i've been tougher : )
it's so weird how different grad school is to undergraduate school. for one thing there are no more tests! yay! but now i actually have to read my textbooks & studies.

this is breakfast. polenta & tea.
i'm headed home on friday for the weekend to visit my family. should be nice.

ok i guess that's all for now...
oh! i think i really want to get this.

new item

i just added this vintage memo notebook to my shop! [SOLD] it reminds me of school days.
it's been hard to add new things in the shop lately because i've been busy! but i'm hoping to add more little by little.

today, i'm off to a tamale festival with maricela! i can't wait to eat some tamales. yum.

replies:

dandelionkisses: dude, i was balling when they let you know about the office being in the twin towers, all the way to the end. thanks for introducing me to the song!

linda: oh yes! let me know how you like it for sure. hehe. us & are same movie tastes :)

brit: yes! i was crying at that moment. it felt very real.

saturday afternoon

it's been a lazy saturday afternoon today. i finally have some time to blog! these are a few photos of my room i'm renting. it came already furnished, which is a big plus!
i watched a few movies recently. the first one is remember me. i really liked it. but it's heart breaking what each member of the family has to go through. especially the youngest. robert pattinson was quite good in it. & i love emilie de ravin : )the other one i watched was gigantic. it was kind of weird at parts. but i like the idea of paul dano's character wanting to adopt a baby. & plus zooey's in it so.... : )

i've been excited for all of my tv shows to start up again! can't wait.

i found a new favorite song! found out about it from wendy.

oh! one more thing - dawn of handmadelove is in need of any old pillows you don't have a need for anymore. check it out here.
