this makes me happy :)

my heaven.

saturday night.

i spent my saturday night with a 9 year old making shapes out of playdough, eating pizza, and watching the disney channel. basically the perfect night.

this man.

Phil Dunphy. I just look at him and laugh. He is probably my favorite Modern Family character. Here is why:

Phil: You can insult a lot of things about me - my hair, my voice, my balance-board exercises - but don't insult my selling. That crosses a line. What line? Oh, you don't see it? That's because I just sold it! (hahaha)

Phil: I always felt bad for people with emotionally distant fathers; it turns out I'm one of them. It's a miracle I didn't end up a stripper.

Phil: I'm cool dad, that's my thang. I'm hip, I surf the web, I text. LOL: laugh out loud, OMG: oh my god, WTF: why the face. (aaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha the best)

i'm just a little bit obsessed with fall :)

nomnomnomnom.

i have recently been enjoying the pleasures of having my own room again. it is a relief to have finally gotten rid of my craigslist nightmare and be able to sleep through the night again. i've brought fresh sunflowers into my room, hung pictures on the wall, and have found simple happiness in lighting my candles every night. it was a real blessing to find strength within myself to stand strong and kick out that awful roommate that we so unnecessarily endured for 3 long weeks. i think we all are relieved to have just girls in the house. way more fun to decorate :)

Fall.

i can feel it in the air......FALL is around the corner. i'm hoping we actually have my favorite season this year, instead of a wannabe summer that lasts until the january rains. sarah and i live for the changing seasons. we started to decorate for halloween...and then decided to avoid looking like losers...so we compromised and ONLY hung up orange lights, instead of orange lights AND pumpkin lights. however, when October 1st rolls around....ITS ON!

street fair

the annual international street fair brought out all the best people in orange county. it is a weekend filled with kettle corn, alcohol, no parking, and many white-trash inhabitants. we enjoyed it for a half hour and then decided that fighting the crowds of drunk people wasn't worth it. i seem to look forward to street fair every year, even though i never stay for very long. orange is a very quiet town, and i enjoy the fact that street fair attracts a lot of people.
