3/52 :: 2016

when I decided that I would do these posts on Mondays instead of Fridays, I thought that it would give me more time to get the photos edited and into the post with words attached, but here I am, doing it on Sunday night... someday I might learn.

anyway, I took a tiny trip down to Chicago to see my friends for a couple days, so my camera made it not only out of the apartment, but also out of the state this week. (:

Friday 15 January // day fifteen :: I rarely take pictures in this room since it's so dark, but here's a look at what's on top of my dresser. shortly after taking this, one of my canvas prints fell off the wall, so that's there now too.

Saturday 16 January // day sixteen :: walls and a doorway. I don't know, I just like looking at things in weird ways.

Sunday 17 January // day seventeen :: on the road again for a couple days.

Monday 18 January // day eighteen :: a new home away from home. thank you, Chicago friends. {you might recognize the bass from photo number five on this post.} it's less of a tripping hazard in their living room instead of ours. (:

Tuesday 19 January // day nineteen :: mornings at aloft.

Wednesday 20 January // day twenty :: a giant stack of library books because I'm not good at pacing myself or theming lessons.

Thursday 21 January // day twenty-one :: reading materials.

44/52 :: 2015

it was certainly a whirlwind of a week/weekend. I had an excellent time with the #songfamily, which included a night of staying out way way way too late, but it was worth the memories. oh how I love them. soon I will catch up on blogging. (;

Thursday 29 October // day three hundred two :: beautiful window display at the Artist Guild.

Friday 30 October // day three hundred three :: sweet Sugar Ransom (with Kim Manning, Carley Baer, Uno Lady, and Steve Smith) for "Shaking Death Blues"

Saturday 31 October // day three hundred four :: Miss Kim Manning and co. for "Fuck Yeah! Halloween"

Sunday 1 November // day three hundred five :: breakfast with this crew after staying up all night <3 <3 <3

Monday 2 November // day three hundred six :: and just like that, it's over. somehow I still become responsible for their belongings (not my Star Wars water bottle), sometimes they let me wear their clothes (not pictured), sometimes they leave sweet notes (thanks, Devil to Drag).

Tuesday 3 November // day three hundred seven :: my sweet gold stars got me a giant star! I still am not sure where to put it/what to do with it, but it's here for now.

Wednesday 4 November // day three hundred eight :: newest picks from the library.

{Imaginary Fred // The Blue Whale // The Octopuppy // Edmond: The Moonlit Party // Maple & Willow Apart // Leo: A Ghost Story // Double Happiness}

40/52 :: 2015

I don't really know what to say about this week except that I am exhausted. also I managed to not take any pictures at my dining room table this week, so yay for that! (:

Thursday 1 October // day two hundred seventy-four :: I had been craving cupcakes for so long, and then Wednesday was the birthday of one of my littles, so his mom brought cupcakes for our classes. then later that night, my mom gave me cupcakes from a bake sale! thank you, whoever heard that message and brought the cupcakes to me.

Friday 2 October // day two hundred seventy-five :: this pile of building materials used to be Sally's Super Soft Serve, a neighborhood ice cream place where my friends and I used to walk to when we were younger in the summer for ice cream and such. it was about a ten minute walk from my house and a five minute walk from the middle and high schools, so we used to walk here during classes sometimes too. it has been so weird watching it get torn down carefully piece by piece. I'm glad I got this picture when I did, because all of the wood was taken away the next day.

Saturday 3 October // day two hundred seventy-six :: it makes me so happy to see this as the picture on my calendar all month. I someday hope to travel to the Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari, New Mexico.

Sunday 4 October // day two hundred seventy-seven :: I love getting mail, even if it's just something that I bought online. Tattly has some pretty cool packaging, and I can't wait to have a matching unicorn tattoo with my little sister for Halloween! (the roses was September's tattoo of the month.)

Monday 5 October // day two hundred seventy-eight :: taking some long hair selfies pre-haircut!

Tuesday 6 October // day two hundred seventy-nine :: I was reading American Gods, but I gave up after maybe a third of the book because it was just not something that I liked and I thought it was really strange.

Wednesday 7 October // day two hundred eighty :: Lake Michigan. so pretty.

the month by iPhone :: September 2015

usually I am pretty good about putting these posts together throughout the month, adding pictures a few at a time, but this time I totally forgot until the 29th, maybe even the 30th! it was a pretty busy month with the start of school (and therefore classes at the Y), Labor Day, busy days at the motel, and my niece's baptism. here's to the beginning of fall!

back to gymnastics, and dressing the part for once. leggings are not pants, but they are so comfortable! {Nikes}

I love reflection photos, and when I put this picture here, I realized that it was a reflection in a reflection...

Labor Day horseback riding at Kurtz Corral! Rocky wasn't too happy at the end of the ride because I missed the part about where I was supposed to save a treat for him for after the ride. whoops.

exploring and making new friends.

schoolhouse circa 1901 in Southern Door.

my Instagram is set to private because I am constantly taking pictures at work. 99% of my pictures are posted in real time and I geotag as much as I can because I love that map feature. I am so lucky to work at this amazing place surrounded by so much vintage beauty (and so many wonderful people).

if anyone is looking for a giant Ponderosa sign, I will tell you where to find this one in Algoma, WI.

I love Chronicle Books for all their wonderful things like this Anywhere Travel Guide.

I love coloring.

this is the corn maze at Schopf's Hilltop Dairy View, at least the street view.

more vintage Simmons furniture, of course.

I just love children's books the best.

{Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast // Dragons Love Tacos // Rude Cakes}

sugar skull love.

I really love pillow pictures more than I should.

my great aunt drives a Beetle too (:

of course I decided to wear leggings and boots with my dress (because it is fall) on a day that turned out to be pretty warm.

a dirty Luna (yikes at those wheels) with freshly polished headlights.

shopping at Blue Ivy to use a birthday gift certificate. gotta love the Kate Spade quote! (:

weird things in my car courtesy of my father.

35/52 2015

it's that weird time of year transitioning from summer to school year, yet it's still peak season. please tell me that someone else knows how weird this time of year is? anyway, it was a busy weekend and then I got to see some awesome friends on Monday!

Thursday 27 August // day two hundred forty :: my loaner for the week while Luna was getting fixed... no offense to anyone who drives a Buick, but I felt like an old lady. :/

Friday 28 August // day two hundred forty-one :: photographs as bookmarks.

Saturday 29 August // day two hundred forty-two :: I love getting fun mail, so ordering things online makes me happier than it should. I am so excited to own copies of these books!

Tuesday 1 September // day two hundred forty-five :: new shoesh. (: {buy here}

xoxo.
