Tuesday 30th

On a lighter note, today was very productive for me. Did a LOT of cleaning around the house, worked on my resume (got a lot of it done), gave my dog a bath, ate chipotle!, dyed my hair RED...now I'm designing a logo for a friends business. Look how cute my baby Brody is. He sat with me (on my clean sheets) while I did my resume. I love him so much!

As of 12PM today, I officially started my Spring Break! ...my last spring break ever! I think i got straight B's this quarter lol. Which, is not too shabby considering I had FOUR - HARD classes. I worked so hard!

ONLY ONE MORE QUARTER LEFT (3 more months)!!!

Road trip

My road trip started on Thursday around 12 noonish. It was suuuch a beautiful day for a drive! I was so happy to not have school that day and to be going to see my family. I have the best time on road trips with myself! I play my music so loud & sing at the top of my lungs. I have videos to prove it.













Such a beautiful day and place to go for a run...and not a bad place to take a break!

Road trip

i went on a road trip this past weekend and it was EXACTLY what i needed. it gave me so much time to think. i feel like i was blinded for awhile but i can finally see things so clearly & for what they are. i have this "switch" in my head that turns feelings on or off. if someone hurts me...it will eventually turn off. it's actually kind of cool. once i turn that switch off, that person no longer has the power to hurt me anymore. i really think i got kinda lucky. i don't think a lot of people are able to turn feelings on and off like that, but somehow... i can.

i'm so sick of people treating me bad. i don't deserve it. so, i'm filtering out the bad...making room for the good. had a big talk about my future and i have some big things in store. i can't really say much right now but i'm so excited.

Alaksan Brewing Co.

This was a project I just recently did. I redesigned the packaging for the Alaskan Brewing Co. I designed the box & the bottle labels.

Realizations & The Future

Since I've been working out, eating healthier and just taking better care of myself overall...I have come to really LIKE myself and CARE about myself. I've also come to a LOT of realizations! I'm just not going to give so much of myself to people who are unappreciative anymore. I'm tired of people hurting me and I'm not going to allow it anymore. I am happy and very excited for my future. My future is going to be filled with people I love and people who love & want to be with ME...because I have SO much to offer whether it be to a friend or boyfriend. As for the people I have loved and given my friendship & companionship to who just didn't appreciate it/what they had...it's their loss. It really is. My grad check came in the mail today. This is all becoming so REAL. I'm so happy & PROUD of myself. I am an amazing woman and I have been through a LOT and overcame a lot...and I've worked SO HARD. I deserve to be happy...and I am.

To everyone I've loved and lost along the way...
I wish you the very best.

Prom?

Worked sucked tonight - as always, until... A woman came in with a cake and asked me if I could help her. I said "sure, what do you need?" she said, "My son is eating here with a girl and he wants to ask her to prom. Can you find them and give this cake to her?" The cake read "Prom?" and had pictures of him and her on the cake. SO SWEET!



So, of course I agreed to do it. Once we spotted where they were sitting, I walked over to their table and said "I have something for you" and set the cake right in front of the girl. Her face was PRICELESS! It was so awesome! She was so suprised and happy. It really made my night.

It Happened One Night

I just got done watching "It happened one night"
- A 1934 American comedy film directed by Frank Capra, in which a pampered socialite (Claudette Colbert) tries to get out from under her father's thumb, and falls in love with a roguish reporter (Clark Gable). The plot was based on the story Night Bus by Samuel Hopkins Adams, which provided the shooting title. It Happened One Night was one of the last film romantic comedies created before the MPAA began enforcing the 1930 production code in 1934. In spite of its title the movie takes place over several nights and none is particularly key to the plot.

The film was the first to win all five major Academy Awards (Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay), a feat that would not be matched until One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) and later by The Silence of the Lambs (1991). In 1993, It Happened One Night was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." It was remade as a 1956 musical comedy, You Can't Run Away from It, starring Jack Lemmon and June Allyson.

While watching the film from Netflix's "watch instantly" feature in full screen mode on my computer, I couldn't help but want to take screen shots of the movie. There were so many visually stunning scenes. I love the simplicity of classic movies. It enables you to really focus on what's really going on in the movie. Anyway, here are some of the screen shots I took:
