the go-getter

zooey deschanel is absolutely adorable in the go-getter

i wouldn't mind being her best friend

i was going to post this tomorrow...

but i just can't wait. today at goodwill i found a long skirt that i made into a dress. it's my favorite. plaid with ducks at the bottom. the best part? it was only $1.

old photographs

here are some old photographs that i just love. the first four are of my grandparents, together and then with some of their siblings/friends. the last two photos are of my parents. one is from their wedding and the other is one my dad took when they started dating. they are both so attractive. enjoy.

just 4 more sleeps...

don't forget to floss

tonight i was talking to bennett on the phone and i was just so warm and sleepy and comfortable in my bed that i didn't want to get up and brush my teeth. so he told me that it would be okay if i skipped tonight. i tried and tried to fall asleep but i started feeling so guilty that i just had to get up and brush them. now i can't fall asleep and all i want to do is call bennett so he can tell me goodnight again and remind me of all the wonderful things we're going to do together this summer when he gets back. but i can't because he's sleeping and that would be selfish of me. ugh.

italy

wouldn't it be nice if every day was just a summer day in italy?

some things on my mind

some things on my mind. i am attempting to make a dress out of an old pillowcase and a tank top...and no pattern. i ate too many gobstoppers today. i am so excited about working tomorrow because i love paletas and i don't like sitting around at home alone. i really need to get an oil change. every time i think of up it makes me want to cry. my window sill is covered with dinosaurs. they keep watch at nighttime and make sure i'm safe. when i was little i thought t-rex lived at the head of my bed and e.t. lived at the foot. e.t. scares me more than anything. i really need to stop biting my fingernails. i really miss bennett a lot. 6 more days...

blue lips

bennett and i just watched this video together

and by together, i mean we were on the phone with each other and on the count of 3 we pushed the play button at the same time.

she is so wonderful.

thank you regina, for making beautiful music for my ears

• driving
• being alone
• how nighttime makes everything worse and scarier
• my knees touching when i sleep
• going to the doctors
• fancy food
• being cold
• packing
• unpacking
• excessive rain
• having to get up and brush your teeth when you're already warm in bed
• waiting
