Day Whatever through 15

Let's play catch-up shall we?

Today's {twelve} days of love will be in list format. 

I love.

buying and giving presents

my knowledge of sewing and my sewing machine

diet coke

that I have a job interview {with DCFS} on Tuesday

homemade bread

Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Ella Fitzgerald's holiday music

making people laugh

counting down the days til I go home

not doing my hair

my dog

my j

It was hard for me to love for a few days. The job search wasn't going well. Money was tighter than tight. {let's be real, it still is} j and I were getting more and more frustrated with each other. Our current jobs are irritating and pointless. Finding love wasn't my top priority. In fact, I sat down to blog one day, and I couldn't think of a single damn thing that I loved. Thats not a good place to be. 

But now off to conquer the world sew. Parents' xmass gift has a week to be completed {yeah right}. Pictures to come when its been gifted 

love.

streak

Ever notice how I get on these blog streaks where I'm really good about blogging every day, catching up on other's blogs, I'll even add a blog or two to my list to read. And then its

gone.

I suppose its because I rarely have anything exciting to say.

My life doesn't seem to be going anywhere at this moment. I'm working a minimum wage job, living in a town I hate, and spending way too much money on things I need (food, gas, laundry). 

I spend too much time on pinterest wishing I could make everything on there. I eat unhealthy food more than I should. I exercise less and less. I complain a lot. Most of the time I just want to sleep.

{but}

I have the cutest dog ever.

{and}

My boyfriend is pretty great.

Speaking of the boyfriend, he's awake =)

yoga pants all day?

don't mind if i do.

due to my lack of ability {motivation} to post i have much to document. i've made many things, not taken near enough pictures, and have had some wonderful times. so, with diet coke in hand, here i go.

those beauties are coconut creme cupcakes. i made them for j's parents as a good-bye gift. coconut-vanilla cake, coconut creme filling, and vanilla frosting. how can you go wrong?

{not to mention dad and i snacking on the leftovers all morning}

and these monsters! snickers cupcakes. to make up for being a terrible friend and forgetting a lunch date, i made some girls an 'i'm sorry' treat. unfortunately, on these bad boys i had to cheat. {there isn't much time when you're moving you see} but box brownies and jarred caramel sauce did the trick. my little brother took the leftovers to his work and didn't return with any. 

thats success in my book.

moving as far away as i did was a big step. not only am i far away from my parents, but i separated these two.

harley and porter became best friends. they played together, ran together, barked together, and slept with me every night. it broke my heart to separate them. harley still seems sad.

not only did he lose his friend, but he had the worst allergies ever! i got him to the vet as soon as i could. poor little babe had sores on his nose from scratching so bad. he's doped up beyond belief, but not scratching anymore. i hope soon he'll be back to his normal doggy self.

my dearest pal

this little guy loves me no matter how long i've been gone. 

despite me leaving him he always gives me a snuggle.

he loves me regardless of my mood.

he's always happy to see me.

we should all be a little bit more like dogs.
