the past few days have been stupid hectic. and busy. and crazy. and long. and scattered. but, it's finally coming together. slowly but surely! i moved this weekend so last week was filled with closet purges, packing, finding and getting all nostalgic over old photos, you know...the typical moving charade. so anyway, saturday i woke up at 4am to do some last minute packing and then by 11am, me and my parents formed a caravan to shreveport with my belongings. they were darlings as always and made my moving process flawless. they were SUCH a huge help! lauren's parents were also kind enough to stick around and help us unload some things. so sweet of them! afterwards we all went to a late lunch. i bought for my parents as a thank you for helping me move. dad went home after that but mom stayed in town with me to help me out with some shopping and the hanging of curtains (which by the way, i should NEVER attempt to do alone which is why she had to stay in the first place). we didn't go to bed until 4ish so it was a full 24hr day for me. then we were up again at 8:30 the next morning to do more shopping for toiletries and groceries and such. my room is finally looking like a room. now i'm just waiting on all of my ordered wall art to come in so that i can create my collage in my room! i'm so excited about my ideas and can't wait to see them come to life! as soon as the final touches are put on our new place, i'll have pictures for you! (p.s. i never posted my snow pictures...haha i WILL get those up at some point).

it was such a hectic weekend, that i was a little out of the loop (jenny i apologize for that!) but things with moving are finally slowing down a little. thank goodness!

so, with the move comes a whole set of new beginnings. this is the first time i've ever lived in a new place. granted, i did live in ruston for 5 years for college but i still call ruston home. this a new experience for me and i'm so excited about it! i'm hoping that being in the city will help in my search for a new job. i'm also going to start a whole new set of paintings! woo-hoo!

i am now on tumblr. i decided that this blog was getting to scatter brained as most of the rest of my life is (i should work on that). so, i know this started out as place for me to collect all of my found inspiration but then it became a place for my everyday happenings and what's going on and inspiration and thoughts and pretty much everything under the sun. so from now i will only be posting my more personal things on this here blog. but for some really cool, fun, inspirational shit...head on over to indie house. i'll still be a frequent on here! no worries there. just more words. less random pictures. my tumblr was set up as sort of my online scrapbook; a collection of tweets, feeds from this blog, my art, and found art, music, vintage and styles in fashion and interior design and all of my polyvore creations. basically. a place for everything without the mess.

saturday, while out shopping, we went to best buy to look for a new TV and i applied for my first credit card against my better judgement. but it was so i could get this baby. it's something i've always wanted and has been on my wishlist. and in two weeks, "it will be mine. oh yes. it will be mine." at first i kinda freaked out alittle bit over the credit card biz. but mom talked me down and said that it would be good for me to build my credit which is something i need to do. i DON'T want a credit card. credit cards scare the living daylights out of me. but, as soon as i get my TV, i'm putting it away.

so that's that. i've got lots to do but they are all things that i'm excited about. i'm glad to finally get my life moving back in the right direction. i hit a bit of a bump this week but that was my own damn fault. i'm going to stick to my routin (like i should have done in the first place) instead of over estimating my capabilities. and i. will. be. fine.
