happy. also, joyful.

sometimes in these trying times of mine, i find it helps to get out of my own head and instead focus on the small joys of life. thus, i will be composing another list of happiness.

- sidewalk chalking. it brings me such joy to see a sidewalk occupied by both an octopus and a giant hamburger. (this would make more sense if i had a photo to illustrate the artistic chalk works i have recently collaborated on....)

- warm brownies from the middle of the pan.

- automatic car washes. it's possible today was the very first time i've used one. the money was worth the immense happiness it brought me.

- on the same note...a clean car. poor stella hasn't been properly cleaned in an embarrassingly long time....

- celebratory ice cream.

- haircuts.

- knitting. i'm not ashamed of my old-lady like tendencies. also, i feel much better about watching two hours of tv when i also have a tiny hat to show for it.

- eating outside.

- new records.

- the anticipation of road trips.

thus ends this particular list. hopefully it also marks a return of my sanity....

also this....this makes me happy. found here.

pickpocket.

questions.

why am i subconsciously trying to kill my plants?

why am i starving all the time lately?

how does my hair look so good when i took a three hour nap on it today?

why hasn't my roommate given me any of her cupcakes?

why do my shoes never make it into my closet?

why are american apparel t-shirts are so comfortable?

am i only blogging so much lately to further procrastinate from the actual things i need to do?


some questions are better left unanswered...

a slight figure of speech.

how have i never seen this video before?



watch it. it will maybe be the best 6 minutes of your day. well, maybe that's overselling it...but it will be in the top 5 best 6 minutes of your day. .....let's pretend that makes sense.

i hope to be back soon with an overview of my fantastical concert experience yesterday.
teaser - my car spews antifreeze....

alas, i must currently use my writing prowess to create a kick-a cover letter.

lacy davis is going to be employed....by someone other than a restaurant.

stay tuned....

bird.on.a.wire.

today is rogue wave day!

hip hip hooray

happyhappyjoyjoy

and the like.

i am completely overfilled with excitement and cheer.


happy weekending!

lemonworld.

the thing is.....i'm really good at procrastination.

the thing is.....small things make me really really happy. like putting lots of fantastic music on my ipod. or reading outside. or really enjoying the skirt i purchased at the DI. (it's possible i did all those things today...)

the thing is.....i've only had 1 1/2 meals today...but i'm too lazy to go eat anything. my stomach is in protest. we'll see who wins out.

the thing is.....this summer is a whirlwind of activity and emotion that is just too much for me sometimes. i choose to deal with it by hiding out in my room.

the thing is.....i still have a large tote of kitchen items i haven't unpacked. the realization that it's pointless to unpack it now caused me several moments of deliberation.

the thing is.....having no direction is probably taking years off my life.

no big deal.

on to bigger and better things. like these pictures that i enjoy. all found here.

the end.

current items of concern

- the amount of alias i watched today. (only like six or *cough* seven episodes...)
- the lackluster appearance of my plants. it's possible i forgot to water them allllll weekend.
- the fact that i can't seem to get to bed before 3 am.
- how my summer goal of exercising has amounted to exactly 3 running excursions.
- the amount of tasks on my to-do list.
- that i haven't played outside nearly enough this summer.
- the fact that i have still been unsuccessful in my mission to kidnap this puppy


(which may or may not belong to my grandma...)


- my roommate calling me lexie yesterday. i fear she isn't aware of my actual name...
- that i forgot to steal sparklers from home and bring them back to logan with me...
- that i will very literally be homeless soon. (see post below)

i would rather fall backwards and forget everything

i am living in an almost constant state of denial.

(i say almost constant because the fact that i'm aware of my denial means it can't be a fully encompassing condition, right? i'm in a knowing denial, if you will)

have i found and purchased a car yet?

no.

have i applied to any jobs yet?

nuh-uh.

have i looked for somewhere to live since my current apartment will be unceremoniously flinging me and my possessions down the block come august?

nooope.

have i made any type of notable progress towards any of my summer goals?

only the one that included catching up on tv. (that one is nearly completed...)


sigh. i still have two(ish) months left. it'll be fiiiiiiiiiine. right. right?!
