A cup of mint melange

I wanna go to bed early, but I seem determined to have at least one entry per day on this blog. lol. Even if it means me rambling...

So, I am really excited that people have begun commenting and telling me that they are actually reading this! yay! I'm not exactly sure what direction I wanna go with it. So far, I am just feeling really narcissistic writing about myself and my thoughts, like the World should somehow care. Nevertheless, here I am typing away everything that crosses my mind! Anyway, I've been getting the same response so far, "its cute!". Cute. That's pretty much the response I get to everything I do...hey, what do you think about this dress?...my new car?...this brilliant idea? Its like everything I touch doesn't turn to gold, but instead to pure cute-ness! lol. I digress. Another interesting response I've been getting to this blog, "Oh yea, I haven't written in mine in ages…" or "I use the same format"etc... I mean I realized I wasn't the only one out here blogging, but somehow I thought I would know who amongst my friends has a blog and who doesn't. Yet, in the last few days I must have said, "You have a blog?" like a ga-dillion (that's a new number my nephew and I made up to defy infinity. lol.) times! It’s as though I somehow stumbled into the secret world of blogging and I now know the identity of the covert members of this society-everyone from fashinatas, photog fanatics and the politically-opinionated.

Anyway, I'm exhausted and its a post..so there. Let's hope this isn't just a phase, yea? lol.

Oh yes, as I'm sure you figured...my new goal is to make the blog less "cute".....and more real! Down. for the people. lmao. Yea right-I am just cute. whatever. :)

Bonne nuit.

Uncommonly beautiful

My sister just gave me my bday gift. Its these awesome vintage earrings made from recycled materials, from a funky UK online shop, called uncommonly beautiful.

Okay. now that Oscars are done (and were quite disappointing, I must say...)-it's way past my bedtime! Nighty night.

a few good (birthday) moments.

scrambled eggs and hot topics.

So, its Saturday morning and I'm attempting to take this blog seriously. It all started last night, when my sister and I were at Barnes and Nobles. I realized its been a week since my 25th birthday. It was a overdose of celebrations, good food, family, and old friends coming to town. It was definetely good times! Truth be told, I'm still recuperating! However, now that the party is over, it occured I'm 25 and not exactly were I thought I'd be as a 25 year old. Back to last night, I spontaneously decided I was going to buy and (for once in my life) start writing a journal. Cute, yea? As I was attempting really hard to find the one that "spoke or inspired me", contemplating between polka dots and pretty birds on leather bound, over-priced diaries-my sister interfered. She said, so blunt and wittily (as she usually does!), "Why don't you start a blog? Its more modern". So, I took her advice. Afterall, the idea is to be less old fashioned and more hip as I go into life as 25 and over...
