one.

since lately i've been majorly lacking inspiration about what to write about i decided to do 10 posts on 10 things i would like to see/do/achieve/maintain/create in my life.

number one:

due to the holiday spirit the first thing that comes to mind is nyc. i have always wanted to go to nyc at christmas time and of course to plan my trip where i would get to partake in the new years events as well.

heres to hopes and dreams...coming true

"im in the war of my life...at the door of my life..."

john mayer (war of my life)

check.

pure bliss and a dream come true =

since i can remember my first loves of music were always coldplay and john mayer. i got the opportunity to see coldplay last year and was completely blown away. so this morning i woke up and got geared to get john mayer tickets and it was a complete success. march 5, 2010 i will get to check 'see john mayer in concert' off of my list of things to do before i die.

heres to a really great day:)

challenge.

for a long time i have been wanting to do something 'creative' or 'different' and i think i know just what to do.

i have decided that in december im going to take a picture of the same thing for the entire month. i have yet to decide what to 'capture' but it promises to be interesting. heres what im thinking so far...

-the infamous purple chair that somehow always collects 'things'

(this might help keep my cleanliness in check)

-a particular tree in the backyard

(mainly for hopes that one day there will be snow on the branches)

-my fingernails

(lets face it...they are always changing color)

i have quite a few days to think it through...i guess you will see come december 1:)

in other news:

:)

"everything changes and everyones faceless i wanna replace this darkness in my head..."

-matt hires (out of the dark)

funky-not-so-fresh

its official. i cant make up my mind at all.

i painted my nails today and i have about 50 of the most outrageous colors ranging from gold to neon purple. i just prefer bright bold colors on my nails. however today i was wishing my best was here so that i could borrow one of her dark, brownish-maroonish colors.

i seem to be in quite the funk lately. and its obvious when i didnt want anything bright...i ended up with dark navy.

heres to a 'hopeful' better tomorrow

tuesday = monday

"i could feel it go down, bittersweet i could taste in my mouth. silver lining the cloud, oh and i, i wish that i could work it out..."

-coldplay (the hardest part)

love actually is all around

(my favorite scene)

in getting ready for the holidays one of my all time favorite movies is 'love actually'. its full of christmas, love triangles, and deep heart felt passion. not to mention a killer soundtrack equipped with a great rendition of 'all i want for christmas is you' by a young girl. did i mention it has hugh grant?! well its a great movie and i highly recommend it.

"crying out now, from so far away...you pull me closer to love"

-mat kearney (closer to love)
