(A CURE FOR) THE MONDAYS

I've always been a fan of Emma Roberts and when I saw this "Supervideo" for one of my favorite songs, I immediately wanted to recreate her look. Yes, that includes the big hair and winged eyeliner.She does a great job of channeling ;Brigitte Bardot circa 1963 and the look has definite potential for a future Halloween costume.

'TIS THE SEASON (TO PROCRASTINATE).

I should win an award for my procrastination skills. I haven't even started Christmas shopping and my list of people to buy presents for is growing by the minute. If you're having trouble coming up with something to buy, I've listed some suggestions for both guys and girls that will hopefully help, especially in such a short time period.

Sunday Playlist

It's been one of those weekends. The kind that is great for catching up on sleep and getting over a cold. My belief is that Sundays are meant to be lazy days. They are for doing laundry and finishing that paper you can't put off writing any longer. Of course, those tasks are made better by having some music going on in the background. The playlist I came up with seems to be pretty reflective of the past few days I've had. So without further ado, I give you some old favorites along with some songs new to me that I just can't stop listening to. 1. Cillie Barnes - Indian Hill 2. Big Scary - Thinking About You 3. Niva - The Boy from the Sun 4. Tin Sparrow - For You 5. Kate McGill - White Blank Page Cover 6. Blind Pilot - Three Rounds and a Sound 7. Yael Naim - Far Far 8. Stevie Nicks - If You Ever Did Believe 9. The Slip - Suffocation Keep 10. Amos Lee - Keep it Loose, Keep it Tight

(A Cure for) the Mondays.

Today I received a text from my mom that said, "I've been wishing all of you girls were little again. Like in the house in New Jersey. I miss being the mom of four young girls. You are all growing up..." While I'm away from home and at college, my older sister has recently graduated from flight attendant training. She still has my two younger sisters but they're old enough to do their own thing without the help of my mother. Reading this text made me a little homesick for the first time since I moved out and it made me think of all the things I missed back home. But instead of dwelling on what I can't access or who I can't be near anymore, I've decided to spend this week further exploring my new town. Until then, these are the things I can't wait to get back to when I visit for Thanksgiving along with some things I stumbled across that remind me of home.

A letter from my sister written inside a photo album given to me last Christmas.

My beautiful akita, Sadie and the occasional snow-fall.

Going all out for Halloween.

Not to mention, my walk-in closet, pecan pie milkshakes and of course, my family.
