hey girl.

basically, i have an amazing roommate who knew i was having a bad day. and decided to make me this.
it almost made me cry from pure joy. i mean, my own hey girl?? what more could you ask for in life??
not much, my friends. not much.
i am feeling very grateful for friends who make my life a little bit more enjoyable on those days when it may be too much for me to handle.
other things that made me smile today:
-i remembered GENERAL CONFERENCE is this weekend!
-penelope is coming to see me. happy day indeed!! i have missed that girl. too much.
-the new Regina Spektor album. in particular these songs:

oh, how i adore her. she can do no wrong.
that is all.

Makin' Things Difficult

The Assignment: write a 6-8 research paper on a piece of twentieth century american literture out of the norton anthology. include an abstract, an outline and an annotated bibliography.
The Catch: don't write the paper, just the other stuff.

Sounds easy, yes?

My Response: you've got to be flippin' kidding me.

I'm probably making this harder than  it needs to be. But nevertheless. I'm freaking out.

We can do it!

I change my backgrounds on all my devices constantly. I like change, it makes my eyes happy. Which is why I was surprised when I realized I have had the same background on my laptop for almost a year now. I guess when I think about it, it makes a lot of sense.

 This is my screensaver.

This last year has been a beast. The climax of several major trials in my life, and for whatever reason this poster makes me feel all girl power-y and kick butt awesome. Silly right? I know, but Rosie makes me feel stronger, and everyone can use a dose of that. 

hang in there. we can do it.
