the Haley's comet: February 2012

day 25 - green

1:45 AM

playing catch up with this game now, but I just HAD to post about this one.

green laptop on my green bed with my green backpack and green bathrobe. taken with my green iPhone. my green lamp and sweater holder are currently in storage under my bed as I don't have a place to put them now. also, my favorite shoes are green.

can you tell it's my fave? :)

day 22 - where I work

8:49 PM

the daily universe ad room. my home away from home these days.

and that sign doesn't lie - so don't try to use it as an entrance. it only works for us :)

day 20 - handwriting

7:46 PM

Here it is. My lovely penmanship. Doing the most wretched subject known to mankind - accounting.

.... If my tone of writing sounds a little too proper for my normal self, I blame it on watching the entire first season of Downton Abbey today. I find myself wanting to say things like, "Might I..." and "what in heaven's name..." .

And "I find myself...". Sheesh!

Shout out to Chantelly. it's her 22nd birthday today. Woohoo! I told her I hope that we are friends till we are 42. And longer, of course, but we'll start with that.

Also. I currently have ratatouille cooking in my crock pot. Be proud of me. Fingers crossed it tastes as delicious as it smells.

day 19 - things I hate to do

8:48 PM

being sick. this has been me for the last 3 days. I have a nest on my couch now.

I also have been sleeping in my house, very much alone, while all my roommates are out of town. and I HATE sleeping in an empty house. now I understand why we girls got to sleep in my mom's bed with her when my dad was out of town.

this is also the reason why I haven't done the last couple days of the month blog challenge. sorry.

day 15 - phone

1:10 AM

here she is.

also I realized, before trying to take a picture of my phone...

the only camera I have... is on my phone.

that didn't work out too well.

so Chrisanne took one of my phone

on her phone.

sheesh. the world we live in.

but my story for the day about this baby

so this morning, I had a 10:30 phone interview for a job at a pr firm in washington, dc

(eeeeeeeeeeee! exciting!! be excited for me!!!)

but I had to take the call at work for various reasons.

so I get up to the top of the stairs of death

and realize that

my phone is not in my pocket.

I didn't start panicking because I thought, "maybe I just left it at home?"

but I didn't. I knew I didn't.

so then, all of a sudden, some man behind me taps my shoulder and says,

"did you lose your phone?"

I wanted to cry lots

but I didn't say anything --

mostly just stared at him and kept hitting my pockets and digging through my bag.

then he, very magically and heroically, says,

"because I found this in the street back there"

and pulls out my phone.

in the street.

in the street!

in the street!!

my phone definitely should have been run over.

there wasn't even a crack or scratch on the ridiculously fragile iPhone screen.

I shouldn't have been able to take that phone interview call 20 minutes later.

I shouldn't have been able to take a picture of my phone, from another phone.

but I did. because I very nice man picked up my phone from

in the street!

and found me.

hal. le. lu. ia.

I wish I could hug that man right now.

day 14 - heart

7:32 PM

this was my mailbox today. yes - at my work, we are 5 year olds.

everyone had to bring a valentine for everyone else

and decorate a box to put the valentines in.

my valentines for my work friends.

totally stole the idea from pinterest. but what else is new in my life.

these people. these are my people.

I included a picture of them because I heart them.

and we throw killer valentine's day parties.

with crepes and waffles.

basically, we are awesome and european.

music tuesday has finally changed, ps.

this has been our apartment theme song for the last week or so.

seriously, someone is always singing or playing it. always.

also, I will love Jason Mraz until the day I die.

that's it :)

days 12 and 13 - inside my closet & blue

11:54 PM

and yes I realize that might be a weird lower body shot, but the rest of me looked bad. and if they don't look blue, tough luck. they totally are.

days 9, 10 and 11 - front door, self portrait & makes me smile

4:35 PM

I'm failing at keeping up with this so far. but at least I have the photos!

my front door

self-portrait.

and then. for things that make me smile.

this gem was on my bed the other day when I came home from school.

care package for valentine's day from my momma. I'd just like to report that I have the best mother on the planet. and she loves me lots :)

full of candy & decorations...

and chocolate covered sunflower seeds (YUM) and sun-dried tomato pesto (DOUBLE YUM)...

and nutella...

and.... coach gloves?!?!? I'm seriously so spoiled.

until tomorrow, folks.

day 8 - sun?

10:50 PM

so today was one of those Utah days when there was lots of clouds and minimal sunlight - but thankfully, no snow yet. woohoo. still holding out for a green winter this year.

anyway, this was the sunlight that I saw today.

side note - I want to be this woman. seriously my sewing class has inspired me to the point that I want to make all my own clothes all day long. and this reconstruction stuff is AWESOME. she makes her own anthropologie knock-off stuff, like, all the time! I need to be her very soon.
