New Blog

Hello hello!
I move on from thing to thing very quickly (that's what she said).
Therefore, I have a new blog! Here's the link: Link!
I hope you like it...and yes, that's about it. And maybe follow it? It really means a lot.
I'm going to use it more than this one. I might not even use this one at all anymore. We'll see!

Art!

I finally got around to photographing my recent art projects that I did at school.
I'll share a few:

Relief sculpture; plaster, acrylics

Unity study; colored pencil 

Drawing with our Profile; colored pencil

Cupcake study; colored pencil

Self portrait mixed with an animal (giraffe); conte crayon

Nature study (daffodil); colored pencil

Pillow drawing; conte crayon

Abstract Study; watercolor

Hope everyone has a good day!

Changes, Changes!

I was getting tired of how this blog was looking. 
So I made some changes and jazzed everything up a bit.
Thuper duuper exciting. At least for me, it is.


I also changed the title of my blog to "Emerging". 
There were 3 things wrong with my other title:
        1. Too long
        2. Old
        3. Not meaningful enough
And after flipping through my Thesaurus for a while, I landed on "emerging". 

To rise, to arrive.

I feel like that's what we're all trying to do in our lives, to emerge. To rise. To finally arrive.

        Emerging from your shell?

        Rising out of your past?

        Arriving at a destination? Who you are and who you want to be.

I'm also going to be treating this blog differently. It'll be more...whimsical? Maybe? Who knows, we'll see.

Things aren't going to be as proper. I'm not all that proper. That isn't a word that I would use to describe myself.

Forget paragraphs, forget being orderly, that's all going into the wind.

I'm going to use spaces when I want to! Make lists! Have fun with this, mostly.

Enjoy.

Happy Day!

Today's a happy day!
After looking for weeks and weeks, I finally got a job! So stoked!
So I figured I would share the happiness and give you all a funny picture:

Found here!

Makes me giggle, hope it does for you, too.

Yay happy day!

Have a good weekend!

The Fabulous Life

I just finished watching an episode of the television show Million Dollar Decorators.
Usually I don't care for these kinds of shows; the ones about rich people who cause drama and get plastic surgery and such (cough cough all of the "Real Housewives of..." shows).
But this was fantastic.
These people are a bit dramatic, yes, but they're not gossiping, crying, or throwing drinks into each other's faces. They're doing something they're passionate about for high-paying customers. 
It was really fun to immerse myself into their lifestyles for an hour. They have fancy birthday parties for each other. They all seem to have english accents. They all have an array of dogs at their feet. They're able to walk into businesses and actually think about buying $30,000 items.

My friends dragged me into a Coach store, once,

 just to "look around" without the intent of buying anything.

I was so uncomfortable and felt like if I touched any of 

the merchandise, then someone would come throw me out

since all I had in my purse was $20 and a melted tube of ChapStick. 

I looked really suspicious, looking at a purse and then slowly looking behind

me to see if any of the salespeople were watching me.

And they were. 

For the wrong reasons.

Anyways, it just got me thinking about how cool a "fabulous life" would be. 

Even working for someone living a fabulous life would be really cool. Just to be there, in it.

I guess it's all about your attitude in life, really. You can call your life fabulous, no matter what you have or what you do. If you believe it, others will, also.

Some days it's just fun to pretend. 

Memorial Day

I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day!
My family and I went to a parade this morning. I wasn't too happy, I don't particularly enjoy parades...
Now we're spending the rest of the day relaxing around the house and doing things outside. 
It's beautiful outside so I decided to take pictures!

My mom was gardening

This is my dog, Dillon

He makes me very, very happy

Rolling around in the grass (I joined in, after a while)

Enjoying the sunshine

I love it when warm weather just makes you feel undeniably happy. 

Summer, it's about time you showed up.

Vincent

Today my mom and I went to visit my mom's friend who recently got a new puppy.
And so, I introduce you to Vincent, the 3 month old golden retriever.

He's a very playful little boy.

At one point, he got himself wrapped up in his leash and attempted to walk across the yard. It didn't work out very well.
