Life is monotonous. It's waking up everyday ready for new adventures to come your way. It's the way the sun glistens in your hair, how I miss you when you're not there and how sometimes I don't want to get out of bed to relive it all again.
Just purchased these two shirts from teefury.com. Both shirts are designed by Karen Hallion.
"Adventure Awaits"
Belle and the Doctor :)
"Come Away With Me"
Cinderella and the Doctor
I absolutely love her designs and have 2 shirts already by her - these new ones will make 4. These are my previous purchases of her shirts:
"Witch in the Fireplace"
Hermione Granger and the Doctor
"Meet the Missus Tea"
The worm from The Labyrinth
As you can see, I am a nerd. I love the movie The Labyrinth with David Bowie and Jennifer Connolly. It's one of my favorite movies, after Grease of course. And I'm on a Doctor Who kick at the moment. Been watching it on Netflix. I started watching it a few seasons back, with Matt Smith as the Doctor, but then I stopped. But my friend is obsessed with it now so I figured I would restart and start from the beginning - the beginning of the newest doctors not the old doctors from the 60s. I'm also a huge Disney fan! She has other shirts with the doctor and Disney characters - Elsa and Anna, Merida, Snow White and more. Anyways, enough of my nerddom. Time for bed. Can't wait to receive these shirts in the mail. :)
A mini vacation back home to good ole Massachusetts - I'm just really hoping it's not going to be snowing. I'm already used to the Florida weather that I may just curl up into a ball and cry if it snows when I'm visiting family and friends. Alright, I probably won't be that dramatic, but it is April and though I know it's New England, my poor New Englanders have had enough of the cold. Bring on the sunshine!! Hopefully it will follow me north.
I have plenty to do when I visit and hardly enough time. I need to see the newest addition of my friend-family, baby Violet. I still can't believe that my best friend of almost 20 years is a mother! I also need to go dress shopping/fitting for two different weddings. The first wedding is in September (another trip to MA :) ) and the second is June 2015. I'm excited to see two of my best friends get married and thankful that they chose me to be a part of their special days. It really means the world to me. I'm not really planning much for the first one, though I try my best to put my two sense in from miles away. But the second one I've been helping plan from the get go (I was there for the first date and engagement so it only makes sense). You may think that I use the term best friend a lot, but I have about a handful friends and they are all my besties. Alley I've only known for a couple years, and yet we are so in sync it's uncanny. I feel like I've known her forever. And then my girlfriends, two of which I've known since grade school (one just had a baby and the other is her sister), and the other three have grown close since we've grown older and more mature, but we've known each other for about 10 years or so - going back to working at camp. Just reminiscing about camp and summer and clubbing puts a smile to my face. A lot of memories. And there wasn't Facebook proof back then, but there are plenty of pictures stacked up in a box somewhere to be put into a scrapbook somewhere along the line - I know I'll get to it eventually - the life of an organized procrastinator.
Anywho, next week is much needed. Though I have made a few good friends down here in sunny Florida, it's always good to go home and catch up. I like Facetime and all, but you really can't hug through a phone. Also, you can't devour the best seafood and Portuguese food through a phone either. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Fried Clams. Clam boil. Portuguese Steak. Massa. Malasadas. Yum Yum Yum. Get in my belly. Seriously I can't wait. I also want to try and see a Sox/Yankee game. I'm definitely going to try and make time.
On
a lighter note, I've been living in Florida for a year. I moved at the
end of March 2013. I was in Florida when the Boston Marathon Bombing
occurred. When it happened I felt so helpless. I had just moved. I
couldn't do anything. I couldn't hug my family and tell them it was
going to be okay. I had to do it through the phone. Luckily, none of my
family or friends were injured, but many were. My heart goes out to
them. The survivors give me hope because they have persevered, have not
backed down, and kept on fighting. The people of Boston have done the
same. Boston Strong is the outcry. We will not back down. It felt to me,
like 9/11. Americans stood united then, and they stand united now.
A video made by Dear
World showcases a letter made by some of the survivors. There is also a picture project of the victims returning to
the finish line. It's absolutely beautiful and they give me hope. They
have persevered. Continued to fight. Continued to wake up every morning
and live. They are amazing.
Over the weekend I came across some HILARIOUS youtube videos from Jimmy Fallon. I don't get to watch his show because of my day job and my bedtime being 930 p.m. so I catch up on youtube and he rarely disappoints. These are my favorite videos this week, they may be old but they make me happy, especially the one with Idina Menzel singing "Let it Go!" Sheer awesomeness! Also, pretty sure Paul Rudd is my new man crush <3. For serious! ENJOY! :)
