ThursDAY!


Beautiful morning that started with practice.

I've started getting up at 6am instead of 7am. And I really like it. Especially since I can pick a practice room with a view of the sunrise, albeit it's over a soccar field. I do have to go to bed earlier. But what am I missing? Late night TV? Doesn't matter. Don't have a TV. Forget that. Anyway, it was going to be a busy day. But the headstart should leave me a little more time at the end of the day to not feel so hurried.

Can't Break Spring Anymore



Today it was pretty glorious outside. Even when it got cloudy the air was fresh with humidity. I love it.

Anyway, it's Spring Quarter. It's time to pile on the bitch work and start digging. So...I'm going to dig my little ass off. And hopefully if I play my cards right I'll have time to do everything I need to do, practice clarinet the way I want to, and still have time for friends and fun. I hope.

To Gwenn...



TO GWENN!

who never called me back after her initial B-day greetings from me which leads me to believe that she is being smothered with birthday love from all her friends at OSU. Or at least I hope so. Cause I spent all day learning songs on the piano for you :D

And it was.



It was an amazing experience. There will always be more that you can do... more to see, more to experience. But all that means is that we just have to go back and do it next time. For what we had though, we made the most of it. And you can't complain. At all. Life is good.

She went....


So much happened this week. Now my place feels empty. I liked having the girls around even though half the time I couldn't have fun with them....I always wished I was hanging out with them. And I hope they liked what they saw of Da Nati. Apparrently they didn't see any cute boys. But hopefully on the bright sunny days they enjoyed being somewhere other than home.

Almost here! The suspense is killing me. I wish I had cleaned. But it's busy. I'm glad I'll get to see my girls today. Cause I can't wait anymore!

Exhausted



Don't I know what that's like.

3.09.2006


I am probably saying this for the first time in my life: I really can not wait to go back to Oklahoma. I miss being outdoors constantly. I miss the warm weather. I miss how the speed limit is hardly ever below 70 mph. I can't wait to wake-up to dewy grassed mornings that blossom into warm/hot days and then the cool evenings. I miss my family. I miss tv. I really didn't bother with tv over winter break. Although I did kind of learn how to use a dvr. I miss everything. I miss how much nothing there is to do and how much fun it is to fill it up. This is where I can fill my time with art, exercise, reading, outdoors...everything. I CAN'T WAIT. I need to go home. NOW. Ok...it can wait. Gwenn's coming :)

A little Worn


I'm feeling a little worn out. Actually, if I am completely honest, this week hasn't felt any more rough for me than any other Charette week. It's kinda nice, in an odd way. Most people are fretting over the work load and the stress of this week... and they all feel very far behind. I personally don't feel any farther behind than I always am. And that's kind of a cool thought- that I'm on the same level with everyone else, but I'm not feeling bad about it. Okay, that isn't a cool thought. It's just a cool deal.
I'll tell you though... I love any excuse to get away from the desk. What can I say, I prefer to go in intervals. And honestly... I also like curling up with a laptop and music and typing to town. But I don't have anything to type about... so I'm just rambling. Ah what can I say? I like doing it every now and again. I fell asleep in the car earlier waiting for Panera to open. It was kinda nice... except my eyes were more sleepy than they had been earlier. I can't blame them.
Well... Looking forward to that road trip. Three nights and counting...

Eva no longer covered in road salt!!!


I got my car washed today!!!!!!!!!!! It is SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! And I cleaned out the backseat and all the programs and papers that people leave in the door. I cleaned out my trunk. Nothing was really dirty. But I just wanted to get rid of the little clutter I did have. I love it when my car is completely empty and....clean. Brand new. That's how I kept my Lexus. And that's how I keep my car. I love my car...I love Eva....

The House


is not this one. But imagine it one story... change the blue paint to a white, and the white trim to a creamish yellow. There aren't any fancy canopy roofings that cover the porch, or the front facade window. The porch is very much the same, though... there is one window that sits behind the porch, like this picture. There is one window that sits at the front facade, as well... so take out that small window in the picture (along with the top level). There isn't a walkway that leads to the porch from this direction. The stairs are on the end (south) side; they come up from where we park our cars (along the side of the house). There aren't any hedges at all... to contain grass and weed, the landlords just spray Round Up annually. So here's what we/I plan to do with it: since it is a simple house, we must keep the decorations simple. Otherwise the styles would clash, or seem out of place. Since they spray Round Up every year, we might just avoid planting all together. Okay: where the stairs are in the above picture, I plan on putting/making some stairs there. Either buy pre-cemented stairs, or make them out of railroad ties, cement blocks, or we'll see. We'll add a walkway heading from the stairs made out of stepping stones... perhaps line that walkway with gravel around those stones. We'll paint the trim and the pole-support black, and perhaps the door red. I want to add a little diamond-crossed fence along the end of the porch (where the fence is now in the above picture). In front of that we might add some vinery that could crawl up that fence... perhaps some sort of low, annual bush that doesn't need any maintenance and can last through the years. We'll hang a wind chime, potted plant, or colorful candle holders from the porch roof. There will definately be potted plants somewhere about the porch, or around it... There's still a lot of debate about what we'll do, but that's the general idea so far. Inside: imagine the house diveded into two equal parts. You walk into one part that takes up 2/3 of the space: this is the living room / dining area (it's large.. very nice). Then you walk into a cross section... from here you can go forward into the Kitchen/ laundry room (that's right, we have a laundry area), or you can make a left. If you go forward after you make the left, you'll reach the bathroom. If you make another left, you'll go into Chelsea's room (her window is what you see from the porch), or you can make a right into my room.
There are five window units. To save money, we'll open windows and use fans, then use a couple window units if we have to. Space heaters will probably be used during the winter... and we might paint one wall in the house a different color. I like the idea of painting the North side wall of the living room (the one you see when you walk in) a deep red. With a red door, that'd match beautifully. We'll have pictures, candle holders that extend from the wall, plants, my baker's rack (hopefully), and all sorts of litte decorations through out the house. We'll also have a set of wine glasses and a choice beverage just for those sorts of nights... and a beautiful porch to enjoy it on. Oh! I found a white wicker chair (very adorable) next to the dumpster the other day... so that'll go on the porch as well. We might add some tiki candles to enjoy the porch at night, also.

Now... don't you want to visit?

Warmther

It's 85.

Warmth



Today it is supposed to be 60 degrees farenheit outside. I am so stoked. I love this warm weather, even if it means it is killing my reeds. Doesn't matter because I kill them anyway.
