delicious saturday night dinner
NOMS! saturday's dinner was delectable. lol.
to make things even better, dinner was followed by starbucks and Blue Valentine.
Blue Valentine was amazing. the film is painfully honest. for once, a great film that gives viewers a "real life" depiction of relationships. i read a review that stated that Blue Valentine "stands as a necessary corrective to the myth of cinematic love." that little sentence pretty much sums up the entire film for me. not to mention that it stars, in my opinion, two of the best young actors in hollywood. Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams give beautifully raw performances.
in love with this film.

love + friendship
perhaps it is good to have a beautiful mind...
but an even greater gift is to discover a beautiful heart.

looking back on 2010 + goals for 2011
via thresca
a look back at my new year's resolutions from last year; how successful was i? hmmm.
1. stop hitting the snooze button on my alarm. - this one didn't work out too well.
2. get out and do more things that make me happy. - i did
3. try my best to complain less. - hmmm. still working on this one.
4. smile more. - i believe i did.
5. finish the books accumulating in my “to read” pile. - doesn't seem to diminish since i keep adding to it.
6. i will enjoy life more. - i have.
7. i will get organized. - i have not.
8. eat healthier. - everything in moderation. lol.
9. buy a vintage schwinn, and bike ride regularly. - i realized living in a not so "nice" area, doesn't really give me much opportunity for bike riding... so this is a negative.
10. learn how to speak some basic french & Italian. - definitely need it for this year. fingers crossed.
11. start painting & drawing again. - done.
12. finish spare room/office. - rolling this over to the new year. still haven't committed to what i want done in that room.
13. SAVE! SAVE! SAVE! - major fail. lol.
14. learn to sew. - no sewing machine = no sewing. working on this one.
15. travel to places i’ve never been. - i did.
16. take more pictures [experiment more]. - did that too.
17. start writing again. - lack of inspirations, i think they call it "writer's" block.
18. get my puppy! - changed my mind after dog sitting this summer. think i'll wait a while before doing this one.
19. finish what i start. - not sure about... ;]
20. find something completely unique or completely forgotten & use it as inspiration. - done.
21. stop staring at my feet when i walk. - tough one. still working on it.
22. go see more local bands & concerts. - definitely did this one.
23. have an amazing/creative 28th birthday. [maybe rent out a skating rink?] - fail.
24. make the shelving in my bedroom closet functional. - in progress.
25. buy a pair of TOMS shoes. - bought 3.
26. go outside of my comfort zone more. - done to a degree.
27. STOP PROCRASTINATING. - don't know that this will ever happen.
28. keep making to-do lists. - did, AND do.
29. embrace old traditions and have a blast creating new ones. - this was done.
30. try every creative medium i possibly can. - tried some new ones.
31. tell people i love that i love them, more often. - don't think i've ever had an issue with doing this one.
32. stop worrying and being so anxious about the unknown. the adventure is in the spontaneity. - i'm still a worry wart.
33. recycle and donate as much as possible. - probably not as much as possible; could've done more.
34. randomly send little gifts/cards to my favorite people. - yup. rolling this one over to the new year.
35. laugh at least once a day. [this is absolutely crucial]. - successful.
the following are my goals for 2011
the following are in addition to rolling over most of my 2010 goals:
1. love more
2. exercise more
3. paris/porto/roma - SAVE! SAVE! SAVE!
4. brush up on les francais and el italiano.
5. put family first / spend more time with the big bro.
6. make time for the people in my life that matter; and the ones that make time for me.
7. cook/bake more.
8. be more crafty.
