just call me arial.

so i dyed my hair maroon.

i think i look like a somewhat more rebellious little mermaid.

i really wanted a change for the new year & have been wanting to do something crazy with it.. this hit the spot.

i LOVE IT! i think i may keep it around for awhile.

& here's something random for your day.. a picture of my cat, of course.

luke's new favorite thing to do to bother her is hold onto her front paws & make her dance with them. or do "shy kitty" as seen below.

she hates it, but keeps coming back for more.

happy weekend everyone!

quote of the week

too cold.

 

the other day it took me a half hour to get my car into my driveway.

turns out i'm not as strong as i thought.. i got stuck & couldn't go forward or backward.. put my car in neutral & i couldn't even make it budge.

luckily my landlord (who lives next door) is doing some remodeling.. so her construction workers came over & helped me.

either way, i'm over winter. 

 

nesta is over it too. she whines all day long to go outside, & when we let her out, she comes crawling back to meow at the door 10 mins later. we think she thinks that if she meows enough, it will just go away.

i wish, nesta. i wish.

i can't wait for spring! 

new years resolutions.

 

1. take more pictures

-i got a diana camera at a thrift store months ago. my goal is to get some film for that bad boy & learn how to use it. 

i also plan on using my digital camera more often than ever (don't tell luke. he hates pictures.)

 

2. learn to cook... for real

-i have a boyfriend who adores cooking but sometimes i can tell he gets tired of having to feed me.. but i know he thinks that if he doesn't, i will starve.

-i plan on having him teach me a few easy meals in the beginning, before i get brave enough to try something that doesn't require a crock pot (all those recipes are so easy!)

 

3. dress up a little more

-i'm such a jeans & a t-shirt kinda girl.. heck, i even dress like a homeless person more often than not.

-surprisingly i actually have quite a few little dresses & tights that i love..  i just hate wearing them because they're uncomfortable. but i've vowed to lose the beanies & start dressing like i'm 24 & employed. ha!

 

4. continue to find inner peace.

it's kind of a neverending process.. but it's a good resolution still.

 

what are your new years resolutions?

  

 

new year's day.

 

rockin' my nebraska cornhuskers pride.

i'm so very sad the huskers lost their bowl game. not that it was unexpected.. but you always hope, you know? regardless, i sported my husker gear around town to do laundry, dye my hair & more.

pics on my hair later.. when i fix it. :/ i threw my back out about halfway through doing it.. i'm an old lady & it's sad.
