winter wonderland,

well hello!

i don't know if anyone reads this

but it makes me happy

i haven't blogged in a while!

so i'm back =)

it's almost winter!

i adore winter!

cocoa, christmas, snuggly sweaters, scarves

and

snow!!!

i love snow

it's so peaceful and beautiful

and the perfect weather to snuggle with someone while sipping cocoa by the fire.

=)

and here's my favorite snowy poem

Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening

Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

i want them to hate me so you can love me on the sly.

oh i have so much to tell you. so much information to share!

the girl with the awkward goggle tan apologizes...

i think i'm pretty terrible at this blogging thing

i apologize

i'm inconsistent

i'm lazy

i go snowboarding and study

most resorts close next weekend

so maybe after that i'll be better?

i wonder how europe will feel about my super obvious and awkward goggle tan

i love it.

will europe understand me?

haha i guess we'll see.

i also realized that i'm kindof a creeper

i'm following blogs and i haven't commented on them

i don't mean to be creepy

i'm just extremely awkward and never know what to say

but i'm going to start commenting

so if i'm the creepy girl reading your blog, i'm sorry, it's because i think you're awesome, but not in a creepy way haha

also:

i've been tagged by my bestest of besties caitlin!

i'll be doing that when i'm back on my computer

(i'm home for easter, on my daddy's computer =])

and

either this blog or my other blog is going to become my europe travel blog

so exciting. we leave a month from today.

and.

happy easter and passover!

love of the dino with easter bunny ears(creepy, no?)

xoxo

i'm so unmotivated lately and it's sad. boo. and i've been way busy. school is out of control.

but it's spring break now!! horray!!

love is...

my computer charger decided to break on me, so i've been without computer since friday morning... but thank goodness the nice fedex man brought me a new one today!!

so i have decided to share with you one of my favorite musicians ever.

sufjan stevens

isn't he beautiful?

his voice soothes my soul, it makes me joyful to my core.

and there's a cute boy that rides the bus that makes me feel the way his music does =)

dino love

xoxo

sew much to do, sew little time...

so i made a high waist skirt today!




or it's a regular skirt....






it's also a dress =]









here's my inspiration....

i didn't want to spend $34 at american apparel... so i spent $9 on a yard of soft stretchy fabric and made myself one... i needed more than a yard... or i should've cut it differently... the skirt isn't as full as i'd like it to be... but it's nice for a first attempt, no?

dino love

baby it's cold outside...

so a few hours ago i looked out the window

and much to my surprise,

it was snowing!!!

so i've had 4 cups of tea

and i thought of this lovely poem by robert frost.

my dream

is coming true before my eyes.

when i was 5 my mother and i were at the library and the librarian suggested a video that i might like. it was called linnea in monet's garden, so we rented it. i watched it as soon as we got home. i was hooked.

this began my obsession with europe, france, monet, and anything do to with these things. i've begged my mother to go to europe since i saw that video. monet is my favorite artist. i've loved anything and everything having to do with france. i have taken 8 years of french. i'm long overdue for a trip.

so i saved all of my graduation money. and have been saving here and there. saving saving saving.

then came the hard part. the search. the search for the jelly to my peanut butter. the cheese to my macaroni. the travel companion that would be in it for the long haul with me. the mash to my bangers.

found her!

and as of tuesday january 27 at 5:50 pm mountain standard time we are officially offical to the most official power. we have plane tickets. nothing can stop us now!

oh i cannot tell you how uncontrollably excited i am about europe. it is just too much excitement to contain!! i shall express my excitement in pictures =)

much dino love

xoxo
