There's a possibility..

I spent the day with my loveliest friend, ma petite soeur, Claire, shown here at 6 years old (she is currently at the ripe old age of 9). She never fails to amuse or amaze me- her neverending curiosity, wit and energy keeps me entertained for hours. We went to see New Moon today, and despite having to cover her eyes through some of the "kissy" scenes, she loved it. My little buddy. I highly recommend spending a day with a child, it is rejuvenating (and subsequently exhausting) unlike anything else. So now the long holiday weekend draws to a close, and my family and pup has departed, reality is descending. This week will be a rough one, so I'm hoping it goes by rather quick and painlessly. If only I could revert to childhood, just to escape to the tough "adult" weeks such as this..

It's a Wonderful Life..

Quite haunting, but beautiful. I somehow stumbled upon this, and couldn't get it out of my mind..

thanks.

Such a lovely holiday. Of course ate far too much (and promptly fell asleep) but other than that had a wonderful day with the whole family. I hope everyone was as blessed as I tonight, and has at least a thing or two to be extremely thankful for. xx

tidying up.

Spending the morning tidying up my apartment for the arrival of my family later this evening. Will be a packed house but looking forward to every second. Luckily I don't yet have a dining room set, so my formal dining room will serve as the perfect substitute for a guest bedroom. Also beyond excited for them to bring my one and only, my Minature Pinscher Honey Ryder. She lives with them in Santa Barbara, since their large backyard and 2 other dogs are much more accommodating for her needs. Looking forward to lots of cooking, of course eating, and dear, dear memories. So back to cleaning, while listening to Norah Jones The Fall..

music mondays.

Here is another dose of wonderful music, thanks to a god of music, Al Verik. What a beautiful rendition of one of my favorite songs.

She can do no wrong..

I literally can't get this song out of my head, I hope her voice doesn't entrap you as much as it does me. I can't pinpoint what it is about gaga that is so beyond amazing, but she is truly of another world. Pure amazement. I'll admit its a little creepy, and a little more reminiscent of Marilyn Manson, but her beauty and song mastery shines through. And her fashion sense isn't too bad either..

it's like barbies all over again..

wow, i should have never come across polyvore.com. It is seriously beyond words. Now this feels exactly like what I was meant to do, why wont someone just pay me to do it?? Hmm, well until then I foresee many hours playing and constructing, and I can't wait..

There are simply too many inspirations not to be shared. I have pushed this off for months and months, but I feel the time is right. I have been inspired by more blogs than I can even recollect, for each one, not only being beautiful in its own right, is but the beginning of an even longer path of inspiration for that individual... I have truly, and I know I am not alone in this, found myself having spent hours after hours going down that road, and I look forward to have a space of my own to share with whomever cares to enter. Its an exciting road, and I look so forward to joining the most amazing and vivacious community in the whole world.

Out of this, I have so many hopes and aspirations. First, I hope to become more focused. I have so many passions, and I can only wish that this will be a vessel for me to sort through everything and make sense of it all in my head, and figure out how to make it all work in a productive and prosperous way. More than anything I am anxious to share my most special things with the world (whoever cares to take a peak, that is) and hopefully get to know the wide network of people out there that appreciate the same ideals as myself, being that there is beauty in every aspect of life, and that love is the true determinant of happiness.

Thank you for sharing this all with me...
