yuck
Ugh, I feel like death. It's a combination on no sleep, time of the month, not eating right and anxiety. I took a nap earlier... Which rarely happens. So that was nice.
These are a few awful pictures of my room. I've really got to in a better camera. I like the one I have now, but i want an SLR.
Quality, isn't that great...
Well, this is my room in a nut shell. I didn't do the other side of my room. I wasn't thinking. It is a cute little sky blue old vintage chest that my grandmother gave me. I love it and will keep it forever and ever.
Well, right now I am in bed, about to go to sleep. Tom is scratching at my door meowing to come in. But every time I let him in when I sleep he just licks my face and purs all night while sitting on my neck. It's adorable but I can't get to sleep.
I need sleep so badly. I think my body is just run down. I had a long weekend this weekend that consisted of very little sleep, if any.
But, I am staying positive about this week. I am going to go to sleep relatively early tonight and go to class tomorrow morning. Sooo early. Eeeek. But, it's ceramics, so I'm excited to learn. I can't wait to make pretty mugs and bowls!
I have the best boyfriend. I was exhausted last night and he went and got me a movie and candy last night. Cutie. Love is great.
Just had to share that. I'm a lucky girl. Anyways, time for me to go to sleep. This post is rather boring, but I'm trying to be as positive as I can right now and blogging really helps me to be positive and look at like with a smile. I need to smile more. :)
Hope you all have a wonderful glorious night sleep. See you all tomorrow!

Calming
Good Evening blogger world. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. This was my last weekend of summer and I took full advantage of it. I have been worthless today, besides going to the grocery store. I slept late with Hunter.. he's such a bed hogger :), then I made some eggs and hung out with one of my very best friends Anna. I took a nap early tonight. I know? What? Haha I feel asleep on the couch with Tom while watching Purple Rain for the fifth time. I hate tv. Anyways, I made some guacamole for dinner. It made my stomach hurt for some reason. Hmmm.. anyways, after my nap I played with Tom a bit and then have been laying on the couch ever since. Now I am drinking a delicious cup of chamomile tea waiting for my melatonin to kick in.
Tomorrow is the first day of school. The first day of school is always weird yet exciting. Freshman flowing all over campus not knowing where to go. All kinds of annoying people outside the union trying to get you to fill out surveys. The line for Starbucks overflowing outside. But the great thing about the first day is that it rarely lasts that long. We go to class for a few minutes then out early! Hopefully. Haha. My first class isn't until 12. So I have time to relax and sleep and get myself together in the morning. I've got to figure out a good first day outfit to where. Not really, I'll probably just throw on something and make it decently cute. Haha. It's just so hot outside it's hard to care that much. I'm so ready for autumn. SO ready for it to be cold.
Wednesday morning, I start my yoga class at 7am.

Whew, I know... It's gonna be early but I think it's a really great way to start my days off. It's Monday and Wednesday mornings. Not gonna go tomorrow, I can mentally prepare for class and this semester. It's gonna take a while for me to get back in the groove. After what.. two weeks of a summer. :)
How was your summer?
5 New Strategies to help me this semester! (A few of my blogger friends that I follow do a "10 Things I love or 10 Things I love Sunday"), So I'm just going to do a different one this time.
1. Tea. I'm going to be drinking more and more of hot tea. Since I've given up caffeine for a good while.
2. Yoga.
3. Reading. This is what I'm currently reading.. for the second time :)
4. Walking more. I'm going to walk to class/the bus stop. I'm hoping to walk at night too, once it starts getting cooler.
5. Last but not least!!! PAINTING. I haven't painted in 2 months. I know, I'm a starving artist in this world and I took off 2 months. I just sold my giant candy apple painting to my uncle.. eeekkk! So glad I sold it. I always want someone to have my paintings rather than I keep them. I want someone else to enjoy them. :) So.. inspirations...
5.5 Ok, I know I said 5 Strategies Sunday, but I'm going to do a little one more.. I am going to be incredible more creative this semester. I want to make crafts and designs for my house and my room and the out side of my house. If you have any inspiring websites or blogs or magazines.. please please full me in!

So great!

Alright, I can kind of feel my melatonin kicking in. A little. Leave me your thoughts and ideas. I love making new friends and meeting wonderful people.
Sleep sleep well,
Kate

Revive.
It's time to get in gear. I haven't been feeling very well for the past eh.. few good months now. I struggle with panic attacks and horrible anxiety. I need some new strategies to help me become a better more happier person. First I've started to write letters to people. Please! I love pen pals, so leave your address if you feel comfortable and I'll write you a letter. Second I want to start to do more yoga. I have a yoga mat, Its just it has sat leaning up against my wall in my room for the past month just sitting there. Third is stop drinking alcohol. For a few months at least. I've started taking this new medicine for my panic attacks and I just don't think it mixes well with any amount of alcohol. I drank half of a beer last night and felt gross. So, I'm going to cut it out for a little bit. See how that helps. Fourth I want to exercise more. I think it will help my mind, body and soul to get outside and really breath fresh air for once. Don't get me wrong, I love to be outside and breath in and out.. but I want to do it more and really experience the world that God has given us. Fifth, I've been drinking a lot of water lately. Like tons of water. Which is great for my body and I will continue too. Sixth I've got to blog more. Seriously. and get my camera working again. It's not the best camera in the world but it is a pretty decent one at least. My roommate is going to help me do pictures sometimes and do fashion looks for me. Anyways, I know I'm just rambling on about pointless things to you.. but It's a big struggle in my life.. well anxiety and panicking.
Anyways. Happy Saturday!
I'm headed to work in a few minutes. Need to shower and figure out something to wear. The picture above makes me want to take a road trip. Just a small one. But one for a few days. Where should I go? Kansas City? Branson? St. Louis? New Orleans? Memphis? Little Rock? Nashville? WHERE?
I'm still working on my birthday list. Is it true about American Apparel?? Are they shutting down? Well. I'm still working on my list. :)
Any good things that I should add? Give me your input!
Love, kate

No internet.
Our house doesn't have internet at the moment.. so I'm having to go to the coffee shop each day and use there internet. Eeekk.. I know. But oh well, we should be getting internet next week sometime. Ugh.
Since I won't be back here as often as I hoped too, I did a few quick looks for you. I wanted to concentrate on blogging a ton these next few weeks.. but our internet is shut off and won't be back. I'll try to blog everyday.. if not every other day. And I'm getting my camera asap to take pictures of all the new stuff happening this fall.
Just put together 4 looks..
What do you think? Very chic.

Alright. Well I guess I'll head out of this coffee shop soon. I'm doing some paintings for a friends birthday today. I need some inspiration. HELP. Hunter and I are going to eat tonight and then movie. Whoot.
I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the afternoon. And I'll try to be back later either tomorrow or Friday if I can snag some time away from work or to come to the coffee shop.

I'm back. I'm just in a blogging mood. I am having a coffee date with this little cutie tomorrow morning.. early early!
This little lady is my best friend. She is on her way to become the best psychologist/ therapist. She deserves it and is ready for the world.
I'm headed back to my home in Oxford tomorrow afternoon. Kind of okay with it.. but eh. I like being home and being able to go swim at anytime and laying in bed all morning.. oh and free food from my family. Couldn't get much better... right?
I figured since I am traveling back to my Oxford home, why no share what I will be wearing during my car ride.
This is funny because it's literally almost exactly what I'm wearing (minus the actual brands.. ha) But you get the idea. :)
I'm watching some bachelor/bachelorette tv show?? I know, I don't know. Whatever, I have bad insomnia. BUT no fear:
I just bought this bad boy of pills today. ALL NATURAL. Yep. I don't want to take it tonight because I've got to wake up early and I'm scared it's going to put me to sleep all day tomorrow. But I doubt it will. Oh well.

Alright, I just got a Polyver and needless to say I'm so excited. This has to be the most amazing website ever created. I just made an account and I really can't wait to create more and more looks. My first look is just something super casual with a slight vintage feel to it. I'm still trying to edit my blog and small things here and there so, I know it looks weird.. but I'm trying to resize things here and there. So no worries!
Anyways... I just got home from Hunter's house and this was my first experience with Hunter's Mother's side of the family. So, family reunion first day was a success. There was only about 15 people there tonight. But we had a delicious dinner and amazing drinks. Needless to say, his family loves food and alcohol. I mean... can you blame them???? Day #2 is going to be insane, there will 50 members of his family at his house tomorrow drinking and eat from lunch time till they pass out. Whooooo.. long day tomorrow but I'm excited.
I'm headed back up to Oxford on Monday and I'm so excited. The only thing that I have going on for the next two weeks is work. So, I plan to concentrate on my blog, my polyver and my lookbook. Oh I'm so excited! I wish Caroline was closer to me so we could collaborate on so much more. I really feel like if both of us put our minds together, we can and will make some magnificent. I really can't wait to see what we can do together with her sense of style, my art background and both of our creative minds. I'm really trying to search around the internet and get inspiration. It's become what I do now. Look at different blogs and get every type of inspiration for everything. I've started to save so many crafty ideas for the holidays.. It's going to be great.
I apologize now for my ramble about things. I have had a good amount of wine tonight, so my mind is just going and going.
I think I will just lay on the couch for the next hour or so and see if I can make myself fall asleep. It won't happen I don't think. But oh well.
Have an amazing night all you bloggers out there!

Hii!
I have some very exciting news.. my great friend Caroline and I will be doing a little collection of head pieces that will look a little like Diane Von Furstenburg's Spring 2009 Collection.
I'm so excited!
I'm really excited to see what we can come up with. I'm in love with wearing hair pieces, I'm just not in love with buying expensive ones. So... with that said.. we are going to try and design our own, with inspiration. So, if any of you out there have any for us.. let us know!
Thanks so much for the support. I'll be back with more pictures soon. I promise. I have 2 weeks off from school, so i will be blogging a lot A lot A LOT!
:)
