My Current Tortoise Shell Obsession

I have recently discovered the beauty of tortoise shell jewelry.  To me, they are a swirl of the colors brown and black  in a glossy marble or sometimes a matte finish. Tortoise shell gives a piece of jewelry a bit of elegance and class. Usually they are not real tortoise shell and have a modern or vintage touch to them. Here are some examples of the unique look off tortoise shell jewelry

Unarrested Development

This evening was really good. I talked to my sis and ma on the phone, I revamped my youtube page as well as download 2 new videos. They are very amaturish but it all comes down to my videos helping me find and express myself :)
And the cherry on this delicious cake called day, I watch a really touching as always episode of Parenthood. Oh I love that show. I would love to be part of that family....I just want to be like there adopted sister or something :)

Here are some random pic of me. They are my most recent takes.



 
 




Thanx for checking out my blog!!

Back Home

My mom was so nice enough to pick me up from my appointment today in Skokie. She is such a self-less person... I love her so much. I wish I could do more to show how much it means to me when she helps me. She actually pushed her appointment back to pick me up from the cold and windy weather.

After my appointment and before my mom picked me up, I went to a near by Donkin Donuts and bought coffee and a breakfast croissant sandwich. i didn't know that they made breakfast food during the day so I was pretty jazzed. My mom came a second after I got my order.

When I went in to my moms car, she said that the coffee smelled good and that she loved the smell of coffee and told me a story about when she was a little girl her mom made coffee in the morning and that she would take cookies and hide under the bed to eat them :) my mom is so cute !

So i got home. finished my coffee and turned on the TV and listened to the Nate Burkus Show and Ellen while on the Internet.

I plan on staying home the rest of the evening.
I didn't get to get my medicine today, but that is alright. I'll get it tomorrow.

Tuesday Morning

It is Tuesday,  as it says in the title. I got up prayed....even though I am a bad prayer, showered, made eggs & toast for breakfast, washed it down with grape juice and took my medication. I have to take meds for symptoms of PTSD and other untreated illness that did not get treated when I was young.

I know...TMI right?
Right under my shoulder blades is so sore from a freak accident. I twisted funny yesterday trying to put on lotion. I know...it is pretty sad. but oh so true. I used a heating pad that natasha my sis gave me to help ease the pain. I think it helped.

 I cant wait to go to the gym. I need to go. my body is screaming out for some kind of physical activity especially with these depressing looking days while the weather is colder and days get dark earlier.

I love that this blog page automatically saves!

okay. so yeah I am all over the page today. I am still getting used to blogging and I think it can be what ever I want it to be.

All I can hope for is a good day today. I have a feeling it is going to be a challenge. but I am planning to go for a short walk to the lake before I start my errands of the day to ease the blow of what ever will come my way today.

today I spent my time doing some laundry. When I walked outside, I notice the weather getting colder. A sure sign of winter weather coming soon. I wore my favorite grey cord mens cap lined with faux wool (it is definatly not a summer hat). I wore it over my messy hair. I also wore some mid calf gym pants and 311 t-shirt with a comfy zip up that my mom got me for my 29th birthday. I only had two loads to wash so i saved on money today which is good cause I had just enough money for those two loads. While I was walking back and forth from the laundry-mat ( I live so close to it so I go home in between loads), a neighbors dog kept barking at me! It kind of scard me even though the gate was locked. I was startled more form the unexpectyed loud bark then getting bitten. Today wasn't so bad :)
