addiction

i love reading blogs.
there's something about looking into someone else's life that just pulls me in.
i have an igoogle account, which keeps track of and shows me new posts on the blogs which i hold subscriptions to. should you ever get bored with me and my little dotcom, here is a small selection from the lives i not-so-secretly delve into.

doggies & arches

i've been house sitting since wednesday, and these three sweet girls have kept me company.
the little one on the pillow is mine & nash's dog claire. the big black one on the left is maddigan (maddie), and next to her is toula brown. they play hard, but when they get tired they are sweet, sweet girls.

i've always had high arches. but while wearing this pair of sam & libby flats, it is evident just how high they really are.

curls & owls

for the first time in a long time i curled my hair and did not pull it up. after the traumatic event during thanksgiving break '07, when i chopped 9 inches off my hair, i was unable to curl it and feel confidently cute. so, this past monday- i gave it a whirl... or a curl. i remembered how good it felt to be curly. i love my hair like this. it makes me happy. monday night was the owl city concert... AMAZING. they were so perfect live- they had an amazing presence on stage. the first band was 'lynhurst' cool? yes. i think so. not only is there name 1/2 awesome.. but the music wasn't half bad. it was different, and i like that. then owl city came out and my heart erupted with happiness. the energy at the concert was just... yes. AND... the best part... my hair lasted the entire day, including the concert.

nothin like a good hair day.

p.s. if you think i'm listening to carley simon sing 'you're so vain' while writing this post... it's because i am. :)

est. 2002

of the eight years i have had this blog, 2003 is so far the one with the most posts: 154.
only 102 more to go to beat it this year.

i have definitely grown over these past eight years- not only in my writing style, but by reading my old posts, i can see myself maturing and becoming who i am.

amazing.

my friend daniel bought an international scout this summer- i am completely jealous.
he took me for a ride today, after a kind of long day, it was the perfect way to relax.
i wish i had a picture of us standing beside it to show how high off the ground it is...

claire watches 101 dalmations

she pretty much stood there like this through the entire movie. she got really close to the tv and really excited when all the dogs started barking.
