Happy Birthday Bob!

70 years Forever Youngthat smokey voice...

the crazy 'fro from before Rob Pattinson

the song writer of Tangled up in Blue... Like a Rollin Stone... Sara... Lay Lady Lady... Forever Young... Hurricane!... Knockin on Heavens door...!

I love this guy. Real name: Robert Zimmerman. He makes me smile. As a song writer and musician, he's been making music for 50 years now, and thats what I love about the legends! They're not just a couple of good hits and a reality show stunt... They've lasted Decades!!! Musicians from our generation are doing their 40yr old covers (albeit not always doing them justice) and reintroducing these songs to a newer audience. The good songs are never forgotten. Bob, you're amazing.

All I need for a Perfect Saturday



Lately the weather has been perfect! Some sunshine and a few thunderstorms. There's some great music surfacing. It doesn't take much to make me happy. What would you need for a Perfect weekend? I look so forward to my weekends... For me, the ingredients for a lovely Saturday: a great anthro scarf, boyfriend jeans, a kindle, my cruiser, a goood playlist, spray me down with some tokyo milk, and top me off with a CoffeeBean :) *Bliss* Hope your weekend is beautiful!

Confession #114

I'm a music nerd. My ears are tuned into low strings parts (viola for 8yrs in school) and I can't help loving the cello lullaby twist of Beethoven in this
Admittedly, the song's probably really tiring to play, redundant your arm gets quite the work out, but it is a good song to zone out to. I never get tired of One Republic

Oh Meredith...


This is on a card from my big sis in college. We used to live together, and spent many a nights laughing & crying over grey's anatomy marathons. It was free therapy :) And right abt now... I'm having a Meredith meltdown! I miss being 21, 22, when everything was great and 25 felt forever away! I'm not ready to grow up!! Not ready for the days to blend together. 25 is just exhausting! I'm always in class, or at work. Always. "Free time" what free time? I get about 4hours of sleep a night. And I feel like I'm 50 when I say "i remember when...". I guess the kid in me will just look forward to Harry Potter 7 part2 the last installment.

I just have to keep reminding myself: God has a plan. Everything will work out. Don't question it, just go with it.

Playing House

I have a fascination with sets. :) Magazine sets, window displays, shows, movies, I look at the props, and take in the ambience. I can't help it. I would love to be a stager... or a set designer...! *Dream Job* :) I'm always drawn to the whimsical decor of nancy meyers or nora ephron films (especially their kitchens). And altho this is neither, I do find myself constantly going back to Milly's (mandy moore) apartment in Because I Said So
I don't usually lean towards warm colors, but here it works for me! I love a good tufted sofa, I've mentioned that before, and I've noticed at work, I'm definitely surrounded by perfect pieces for a remake of this room. Pier 1 has some great boho accents that go so well with this style...


And I can't mention this set, without pointing out how much I love her chalkboard fridge :) love love love, this citrus kitchen. Along with Rachel Ray's retro appliances, this would be my dream kitchen. Fun bold colors, with a farmer's market flair, I would be a baking Betty every day!


happy dream house hunting...
