Stress STRESS!

life only gets harder. there will only be more debt, higher expectations, added obligations and a slower metabolism.

two nights ago i was supremely evil to david. i could feel the nastiness bubbling up and made no effort to check myself. with a snarl, a foul creature emerged.

and, my mom worries.

what does this mean for me? i need to buck up and learn to deal with stress in a way that doesn't negatively affect the people around me. its selfish of me and they don't deserve it.

ps: this post is another marker of my developing maturity. add it to the list!

badass lady

i am who i am but i strive to be her.







and, NOW i have pictures of mi madre. :)

what a sight

even a domestic goddess like myself needs assistance during finals. :)

this tree gives the BIGGEST avocados. i know i promised to upload pictures of the new digs. BUT its a bit undone at the moment. all the things i want to do to it before it's photographed must wait until after june 4th. until then things are not in their proper places and clutter is everywhere. you'd think i would mind and i do a little. mostly i love the apartment for its natural lighting, cool breeze and hipster character.

instinct

my gut is finely honed to detect insincerity, danger and kindness. that being said, its also GREAT at telling me that im nervous, sad and/or anxious.

why is this relevant? well bc every time lovely finals roll around, the gut tells me to get into gear, to focus and study. BUT my head tells me to become addicted to new tv shows, search for food blogs to stalk and look up nobodies on facebook.

additionally, my gut is getting bigger on account of my coping mechanism to get up and eat when it comes time to study.

sigh, i hate this feeling. to counter-balance my negativity (which i believe jeanne alluded to...) i shall bless you with photos of my new tree house oasis tomorrow. TA TA

saturday morning

i finally have my own oasis in los angeles and a suburban getaway in hacienda heights. :)

pictures to come. hopefully.

two years

i love you, david anthony stoops. life is sweeter with you.

moving forward

Herroo, Im checking in from my new apartment. Its been a stressful weekend of moving and cleaning but well worth it.

My view from the kitchen.



Yes, that is the biggest avocado tree I've ever seen. :) Hopefully Ill have a camera to document the process of making a home.
