current crush list:

Ryan Gosling- obviously.
Zach Efron-   just about the sexiest man ever at the moment.
Ryan Reynolds- OH MY GAWWWWDDDD.
Harry Shum Jr.- marry me right this very moment. also, a lap dance would be nice.
Mindy Kaling- can't tell if i have a crush on her or am just really jealous of her. either way, she's awesome.
Zooey Deschanel- so quirky, so pretty. and i'm jealous of her ability to pull off bangs.

any celebrity couple- i have a crush on them all. Nina Dobrev & Ian Somerhalder, Selena Gomez and the Biebs, Lea Michele & Corey Monteith, Brangelina? they're all so beautiful and rich and i love them all.


and as always, here is my #1 crush of all time:

as i promised:

fun with glow sticks or "light graffiti" as my professor calls it.

thank god for pedicures

and pancakes

these are just some of the photos i've taken this past week. all of them haven't been touched by photoshop yet. i've been lazy (obviously) but i feel like they look pretty good without it. once i get around to uploading so more i'll give you a glimpse. hope everyone had a fabulous Easter :)

i really need to get an iphone

it's well known among my family and friends that i am an extremely lazy person. sometimes i get lucky and get these little burst of "i am going to do a million things today" but in general, i'm pretty lackadaisical. it's not that i am lazy in the sense that i lay around all day watching tv and being a bum, i'm just a procrastinator and would rather do things at my own pace. i also can be kind of spacey and sit in a chair outside for 2 hours debating life or read an entire book in one sitting. for instance, today was my day off and last night i was all intense saying to myself "i'm going to wake up at 6:30, go for coffee and crepes, go shoot for a few hours, do some yoga, build my fire pit and clean my room". haha rightttttttttt. like that happened.

i did wake up at 6:30 but quickly returned to a state of lovely coziness and rolled over back to sleep....til 9:30. i then proceeded to eat lots of bacon, stay in my pj's til 11:30 and do random things around the house all day. i need to start saying "i'm going to sit around on my ass all day and watch tv" and hope that   the trend will follow and do the opposite. day off's should now be referred to "opposite day".

why am i saying this?

well i did tell a few friends i'd be putting up some pictures i've been taking lately. they really are lovely but obviously i haven't had time to upload those suckers. sorry. i probably should have been doing that right now rather than rambling on.

so this is the reason my post is titled "i really need to get an iphone". maybe not an iphone, but definitely something that has the capabilities of taking a decent pictures and putting them online. right now i am stuck with my old blackberry that takes worse pictures than a disposable camera. i need something that will help document all the pretty things i see and do throughout the day because carrying around a DSLR is a really pain in the butt. and then no one will ever see them. ugh, technological turmoil.

here are some examples of my terrible blackberry pictures:

i have probably rambled on about these donuts before. but here they are in their spring sprinkle colors. i'm obsessed. allie's donuts in north kingstown, god bless you and your donuts.

presentation is everything:

i made fish tacos the other night for my parents at my house and i decided to make a big plate of all the fixings. it was pretty and also smart because 1) the less dishes the better 2) my table is super small and couldn't hold anymore dishes. 

sometimes my job is fun:

part of my job this week was to put together easter baskets to give away for a raffle prize on Good Friday. this was super fun. mainly because i was paid to meander around Target for an hour. it's still missing a few things but i thought this looked pretty hilarious. leave it to me to take a cute, cuddly duck and turn him into a bad-ass. you're welcome little kids.

that is all for tonight. i promise tomorrow i won't put up my newish pics (thinking opposite here people). in the meantime, i will be bribing my sister to let me take her phone upgrade.

i've never been a crier. i've always held it in. i'm not quite sure why but it's just always how i've been.

unless.....

it's something so ridiculously adorable or happy. then i am a weepy mess. usually in private though.

weddings kill me but i always feel like the biggest loser sitting there crying...especially if i'm not super close to the couple. i got all teary eyed this past summer at a wedding where i was the date of one of the groomsmen...and i had never even met the couple! sometimes i force myself to cry in preparation. is that weird? probably.

so tonight i stumbled upon this little video of a paralyzed man dancing with his wife. i should have known to get the tissues ready. this is one of the sweetest things i've ever seen. please watch it. it'll make your heart feel wonderful.

such a brave, brave woman and a very determined and strong man.

and now i feel the need to leave you with this:

because regardless if you have a boyfriend, husband, partner or whoever in your life, we all have love from someone or something. and that, my friends, is just fantastic.

tuesdays. what the heck are they good for?

i am, for the most part, an optimistic person but i can't help but get slightly miserable on tuesdays. mondays always suck but they're the beginning of a new week...who knows, maybe even a great, life changing week. wednesdays...that's hump day. halfway to the weekend. this i can handle. thursdays..well thats a day away from friday and obviously friday is the best day ever.

but tuesdays. i just can never come up with something good about them. i think thats why they started $6 movie nights at the theaters. something people can look forward to so they can make it through til hump day.

speaking of movies. please please pleaseeee tell me you've gone to see the hunger games. if you haven't, well....STOP EVERYTHING. right this very minute. google movie times and pick one asap. you.must.go.see.it.
now i was obviously a fan of the books because honestly, who isn't? but i was very impressed by the movie adaptation. usually when a book becomes a movie, i cringe. they always seem to mess something up whether it be casting or just the way the screen play was written. but they were almost spot on with the hunger games. jennifer lawrence is most definitely my new girl crush. she killed it as katniss. at first i was a little skeptical but that girl has got some serious skills.

and with that all said and done, i leave you with this super sexy picture of some of the cast from their Vanity Fair shoot. love.

how i use the computer

here is how i use the computer:

clearly he does not realize and/or care how vital it is to have your hands/eyes available when using a computer. selfish little beast.

whoa mamma it's been a rough few days being me.

first, as you probably already know, i got my wisdom teeth yanked out.
then, i went through the pain of recovering. good grief, that was awful. if you know me, you know i loveeeeeee eating. so not being able to cook or eat anything besides mush these past few days has been slowly killing me.

finally, just as my mouth was starting to heal i ran across a road block:

 PAIN KILLER WITHDRAWAL.

now, i don't have an addictive personality and never in my life thought i would have withdrawals from any drugs or alcohol but just when you least expect it..... WHAM! you're down for the count.

i probably should have read up a little on what i was taking after the surgery but nope, just decided to trust the doctor's prescription and take it like the nice little orange bottle stated. WRONG IDEA.

i was prescribed Percocet. all i knew about percs were that some kids in college would take them at night if they didn't have booze and had a few left over from surgery. no big deal. once again......WRONG. these things are major. i took them for only 2 days and decided to stop because i didn't think they were doing much besides making me dizzy and drowsy. i went along my merry way all day yesterday, still a little dazed but feeling good considering.

then today rolled around. man ohhhhh man, was that a different story. i woke up feeling awful and couldn't quite figure out what was wrong. i knew i was in a funk all last night and went to bed early thinking that'd help. welp, it didn't. i didn't sleep a wink. i dragged my butt into work after a 4 day hiatus and was having a hard time keeping it together. i tried to explain to my mother (my boss) just how i was feeling but really couldn't figure out how to explain it.

fast forward an hour: i have my head on my desk talking to her and broke into hysterics. then i started laughing...then crying because it hurt to laugh. i was an all around mess! i was sent home immediately and it took me about 2 hours just to calm down.

it's been quite a few hours since my freak out and i'm still really out of whack. i did some good 'ol fashioned googling and discovered i really shouldn't have been put on Percocet because i'm already on an anti-depressant/anti-anxiety medication. shouldn't they have checked that long sheet they made me fill out that clearly states the medication i am on? so crazy.

so case in point: ask your dr.'s about your medication! some of these things they prescribe so frivolously are highly addictive and dangerous and no fun when you're a sweet little naive thing like me and do as your dr. tells you.
