jeans

I took this basket and weaved it with 
an old pair of jeans.
I think it turned out pretty bomb-tastic!


Now I have a place to set my
glasses at night =)

i'm tired of blogging

I don't like that I'm awake right now..
Yeah, it's 12:00? 
but even Starr and Skyler are sound asleep.
While I have this time alone, however,
I'll talk about things to keep me happy =)

The first thing I want to say is
Welcome back Christmas Cup!



It's funny because that mug has actually
become my personal favorite of the bunch  =)

It's the day before school starts!
I've been in my condo for about 5 days and
I'm loving it! I love my room, my roommates
and everything else in between =)

Cool tree, right!?

The only thing I'm struggling with is
this whole "cooking my own food" mess.
For one, I learned that I really don't like
grocery shopping. It's too hard
to decide what it is I need
versus what I want to make and
what I can make with what I got
but if I can't make anything
what it is that I bought to eat???
When I'm old and married, I'm not doing the
grocery shopping.

Warning: No pictures.

Hello Brooke, Starr, Morgan, and Dad!
I would include Mom in my hello, but I'm not 
too sure she remembers how to access my site ;)
Just kidding, Hi mom.

I don't have much to blog right now, 
so as a fore-warning, this will a short, boring post. 
Kinda like the "we just talked about the weather..."
type of blog.
Small talk. 

I'm doing pretty good in Tennessee, I'm happy.
I have no idea how I'll fall asleep tonight
since I just woke up from a nap that was taken
at the worst time possible:
6:00pm - 7:45pm
and I already fall asleep around 3:00am as it is.
Oh wellll. 

I'm excited to start the new school year! 
I'm definitely looking forward to moving
into my apartment with my 4 newest
friends...it'll be an interesting thing to 
see each of us grow to be our
"20 year olds self" all under the same roof.
I think the next three years will be
completely life changing. 
I anticipate the person I will become =)


ps; Starr and Kevin are so cute when they run around the
 house slapping each other =)

X mess.

I love drinking tea at home. For me, it's different
to go to a coffee shop and order tea because
there's nothing special about the mug they give you. 
I mean, a plain white mug with no personality? 
Or a lovely christmas mug full of joy and noel?
Thank you Starr for reminding me of Christmas
during this 110° weather. =)

Yesterday, Me, Morgan, and Starr went
to Michaels to buy some materials to make dream catchers.
I needed to get clothes pins but after a long search 
with and without a salesmen, it turned out that Michaels
was fresh out of clothes pins. However, while walking
out of the store, I passed by the christmas section 
and found the clothes pins I was looking for,
with one minor detail...

There's a little snowman with a christmas tree hat
attached to each pin! It's a little ridiculous!

Something to leave y'all with: 
(y'all, in spirit of the south.)
While in the shower, I realized
something about baby animals.
And that is, that everyone loves
to be licked by baby animals!
Whether it's a puppy, a kitten, or a baby cow, 
being licked by anything "baby" is simply humbling!
Think about it the next time you come 
across a youngster wanting to lick your toes...
it just might brighten your day =)

Numbero, Uno.

While I know only a select few 
will be viewing this post, I'd like to 
open my arms to the
world wide web  
by happily welcoming the
 millions and millions of individuals
across the country and beyond to... 

my blog =) 

I spent the last hour or so trying to 
customize my blogger layout, but 
ended up putting it aside due to lack of creativity. 
I'm now watching Julie & Julia and have happily
found inspiration out of Julie's own blogging experience in the movie. 
So thank you Julie, fore without your help
 I would awkwardly be a blog-less blogger. 

A quick introduction! My name's karly.
I'm from California but am currently in Tennessee/Mississippi 
for the next few weeks visiting my sister Starr.



Something I hope to gain from blogging: 
 I find myself (unfortunately) being a quitter towards
projects you could consider to be "long term."
Give me a project that'll last a day, two days
maybe three with some mental preparation...but a
project like blogging, it's hard for me to
continue something that doesn't have 
physical success...
you know?
I guess only time will tell!

I leave you with one of my favorite quotes =)

“Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life. - John Lubbock
