here i am

to dispel your conspiracy theories on where I've been in my absence... I haven't been absent, I just haven't been here... Am I purposely being illusive? No. It's not like last year when I disappeared and told you I'd tell you where I was when I got back, and then I never did. Remember that? Still not going to tell you where I went then. Or now.

Can't tell you where I've been, or not been, now more because I didn't really go anywhere, nor do I have any great excuses as to why I haven't been blogging. I had conspiracy theories for you this morning but lost them somewhere between school and work.

Things that have been on my mind lately:

~I'm thinking of running for president of our IIDA chapter at school {international interior designers of america}

~I have 16 days of school left.

~I miss Cari Devin n Dillon. A lot. So much so that I get choked up if I think about them longer than a second. A story that made it worse/better all at once. Devin asked Ben after church recently if he wanted to fast for grandma and grandpa with him. This wasn't a fast Sunday so Ben asked him why he wanted to fast for them. Devin responded "It's ok, I'll fast for them by myself." And he did for 2 whole hours. Big feat for an 8 year old don't you think? What a stud.

~ Easter is coming {It's Holy Thursday today. It's fun sharing an office with a Catholic because I get his take on holidays. It is full of ceremony and an air of royalty and even though I know so much is missing, it's a beautiful holiday for him and it's neat to see how they celebrate it.}

~ I'm going to a gala tonight with Bry at the Grand America and I have nothing to wear... {stressed} If I could, I would look like this {below} How would I pull that off? I don't know, but so much of the time I dress for my mood and this is exactly how I'm feeling.

I LOVED this movie. {stardust} I thought the story was fun, it was beautifully filmed and I totally got caught up in it all. I saw it this weekend and I'm still thinking about it. And for once, when the lead guy grew long hair magically {with the help of a very feminine and hilarious Di Niro} he actually looked better.
