DSC_0061DSC_0063Since it’s mom’s birthday today I thought it would be a good time to share some really cool pictures from our sightseeing in Texas. We got to take the train to Reunion Tower in Dallas, which was completely rad.DSC_0078The view was incredible, and we got to have lunch at their Cloud Nine Cafe, which was super yum. Apparently all the items on the menu were designed by chef Wolfgang Puck, and there is another restaurant that is fancier called Five Sixty that requires things like making reservations and a dress code. You can get more information about the tower here. DSC_0101Being in a hotel room with my mother for 6 days could have been the worst, but I am so thankful that it wasn’t. I think God really wanted us to have a little vacation, because that’s what it felt like. We even worked out together in the tiny little hotel gym, which was pretty hilarious. The past few years have definitely been rough at times, but there has also been some positive growth, especially when it comes to the relationships in our family. I’m very happy to have my mom, I would never want another woman to take her place. DSC_0076

Dirty Dozen: Birthday Wishlist

Personal Update, Random

Yes, it’s a little early, but I post what I post dude. And I don’t really expect to get anything off this wishlist, so don’t stress at my expensive taste.

  1. Professional Haircut and Color – Because my hair is dead and a thousand colors and making me crazy.  Ultimately I would like it to look more like Kiki’s.kiki1kiki2
  2. A New Tattoo – Of what?  I don’t know.  But I’ve been getting inspired by these, these, and these.
  3. Blogacademy Home school – I’ve been following these ladies and their work for years and would love the chance to go to one of their workshops, but I can’t afford it.  Thankfully they have developed a way for me to do it at home and I want to so badly!
  4. Trish McEvoy Makeup Planner – “Trish McEvoy’s patented Makeup Planner® is the one-and-only portable makeup vanity. A fully customizable cosmetics organizer, it will put an end to makeup disorder at home and on-the-go. Designed to hold Trish’s environmentally friendly refillable Makeup Wardrobing® Pages, each magnetic, mirrored page can be custom-filled with any combination of Trish eye and face color, keeping all your makeup in one place and visible at a glance. Adjacent brush sleeves and a large back pocket are instantly accessible while the removable pouch is perfect for beauty miscellany, and an all-around zipper makes it portable at a moment’s notice.”  *I might just be obsessed with anything shaped like a planner.makeupplanner
  5. Adobe Photoshop – Let’s face it, it’s the boss and necessary for all blogging but I don’t have it.
  6. Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting Powder – It’s apparently the best of the best, perfect for all of the contouring all of the time.ka
  7. Lana Del Rey Ultraviolence Box Set – I’m a huge fan.  And in my attempts to clean my room and narrow down possessions that I use for decoration I would rather have a super flipping sweet and unnecessary box set to look at than the thousands of knickknacks I am trying to get rid of.  Also, I really really want it!lana
  8. They’re Real! Push Up Liner – I don’t know if it’s available yet, but the reviews are making it sound like the best thing since Netflix so I think I need it. Um, I ordered it for myself during a preview sale. So. It’s off the list.theyrreal
  9. New Bedding – I’ll take any of these, which can be found here, here, here, and here.bedding1bedding2bedding3bedding4
  10. Seeing Stars Lenon Sweater by Wildfox – In case you didn’t know this is THE sweater to have.len
  11. X-men Trilogy on DVD – Um, yeah, the third movie was stupid.  But I love what I love, and this is one of my all time favorite trilogies.  And let’s face it, I don’t care if a movie is good, only if I love it.
  12. To Enjoy Myself – Who knows what I’ll be doing for my birthday, but I would really like it to be something that makes me happy with good company.

My love for you has grown teeth.
You are not afraid,
your teeth have nipped strangers who came too close.
Your teeth are bared when:
you smile
you speak
you sneer.

My teeth
(that my love for you has grown)
stay hidden.
But when you:
are mean
turn away
leave me

you will feel them
grazing your skin
tearing your shirt
leaving as many scars as
you’ve left on me.

Best of the Best

sharingiscaringRelationships are difficult.  They require so much work, not just when they begin, but through out their entire existence if you want them to thrive.  You only seem to get back what you put into them, which can be a really hard thing for people to understand.  Sometimes people put in too much, sometimes they put in too little.  Sometimes they take all of the benefits, and sometimes they don’t want anything to do with them.  It’s incredibly difficult to figure out where the balance is for the give and take.
I am incredibly thankful for the relationships in my life where I don’t have to spend a lot of time computing what amount of effort I should be putting into a relationship.  I have 3 relationships currently that have their own sort of balance, and they make life so much easier for me.

1.  My BFF, best friend forever, my Fab Twin, the Trixy to my Vixy, the Blair to my Serena… depending on the day, we switch these rolls.  She and I are not always balanced with our efforts on the day to day, but all of the imbalances on the small scale balance out on the big one.  We both give, we both take, and we both enjoy the rewards of our efforts.
2.  I have the perfect balance with Netflix.  I give them $8 a month and they give me the inability to have a social life.  It’s a model I would love to see replicated in many more of my relationships.
3.  Christ doesn’t ask me for much more than my entire life, and in return gives me eternal life with Him.  It’s actually incredibly imbalanced, because the efforts I have to put in to it are nothing compared to what He has already done for me.

Does anyone else find balance in relationships difficult?  Are there some relationships that are just easier to balance?

Who, me?


I consider myself an eccentric who looks good in jeans, or an amateur at adulthood. I live in Maine, enjoy writing and photography as creative outlets, and listen to some of the worst music you've ever heard. I’m good at sin and bad at following Christ, but I’m still letting Him take the lead. Dirty is my middle name. So is Sean.
The purpose of this blog is to keep a record while I'm unearthing treasures, mapping truths, and navigating life.
