not so motivated

I'm having the hardest time getting motivated to do anything today. I wish that law school spring break was like under grad, quarter style, spring break - where you didn't have homework and responsibilities during your break. I have journal things, and an outline for a paper, and homework for next week that I need to do. And I just can't get motivated. Blah. Stupid Seattle winter - I need some sunshine. But I am thankful that I have been surrounded by people I love all week. AND tonight I get to go to El Chupacabra with Dustin and Ben and Kate and Greg and others and eat some nummy Mexican food. Then, after that we are going to Prost to drink a boot (which I have never done before... it sounds kind of alcoholic and spring break-y and I'm not going to lie I'm a little excited ha). It's the carrot getting me through the day. And this song, this song is definitely helping too:

1 2 3 4 tell me that you love me more, sleepless long nights that is what my youth was for.

Anyway, I hope you all have super productive, happy days!

Dance Hall Days

When I was little my very favorite movie was the Wizard of Oz. I don't know what it was about the movie (maybe the singing, or befriending "men" made out of things you would find on a farm/a lion, or the pretty red shoes?) but it has always held a special place in my heart. Something else I have always loved is cheesy 80s music (can we say immediate mood lifter/dance party?). Anyway, I just stumbled upon this gem of a music video and had to share - it has AWESOME outfits and if you thought it wasn't going to get better, you'd better hold on to your seats because it even has some Wizard of Oz lovin' thrown in at the end. Enjoy, lovelies.

today in pictures:

As promised here is my faux canadian tuxedo picture! I am so in lust with this shirt it is redick.

Sorry the picture isn't the best... my iPhone camera can only do so much. What I'm wearing:

faux denim oversized button down shirt- H&M

Skinny Hudson jeans from Parts&Labor, Hood River

Belt - H&M

Booties - Forever21

Bracelets and Earrings - Banana Republic

Anyway, after playing dress up in some denim-on-denim (or almost, but not really) I headed home to White Salmon to visit my parents for the night. I'm getting my hair cut before going back tomorrow for work, so I'm pretty excited. I do feel guilty about not telling anyone (friend wise) that I'm here, but I feel like I've been neglecting the fam as of late so I felt obligated to spend my short amount of time here with them only. It's nice to be home and to relax without any obligations. Also, my dad always has an awesome wood fire burning, so the house is always toasty warm and happy ♥

Oh, also, I made my mom download words with friends on her new iPhone. I love it!

So, some pictures & thingz:

Before I left today, my mom text me to remind me to bring my antlers home so my dad could mount them on a plaque thing that I can hang in my room (so they won't awkwardly be sitting on my book case anymore). Anyway, I put them on my bed while I was packing, so I wouldn't forget, and Fluffy Face fell in love. He was rubbing all over them for like a half hour. Silly kitty.

I have a cat at my parents' house too. His name is Snack. I guess I shouldn't say he is mine, because really my mom adopted and spoiled him. He was mine in college - I got him my freshman year and took him to Seattle but had to bring him home after only a few months. So that is why I say he is my mom's now. She has come to love him the most, to the point where he won't even let me pet him anymore. BUT when we were having desert (ice cream and brownies) he jumped up on the arm of the couch (before my dad could yell at him) and I let him have a little ice cream (contrary to the way it looks in this picture, I did not let him eat it from the bowl I was eating from, SICK). We bonded for about 30 seconds. Presh moments.

And now I am rocking Dustin's sweats (and an old Zeta Tau Alpha tee). They are like, the comfiest sweats ever and the next best thing to cuddling with him when I'm 4 hours away. And I have to say, I'm pretty excited to sleep in my bed at my parents' house tonight. Yay for some fam/home time.

Canadian Tuxedos

So, lately I've really been contemplating the canadian tuxedo. I love it for its comical aspect. I mean, you can't not laugh at JT and Britney rocking the all denim circa 1998 (google it). But really, I've seen some denim on denim that I actually really like lately. And I have to admit, I find myself wanting it on my own body... Examples:

Soo, yesterday at H&M I bought a faux denim shirt... It's not actually denim but it looks kind of denim and it is a wonderful oversized button-down that I'm in love with and my roommate who was completely adverse to it at first is now warming up to it. Dustin told me that I could wear it with jeans and rock a faux Canadian Tuxedo, and that is exactly what I intend on doing.

I'll post pictures in a little, after I finally get dressed, but I was just too excited to tell people about my newfound love for denim on denim (aka the Canadian Tuxedo, or faux CT in my case) to wait.

OH and also, I saw a man ,while I was out at a bar in Chicago this weekend celebrating St. Patty's day, who was wearing an ironic denim vest on jean combo that I complimented him on. He told me I was the first person to compliment him and he was glad I understood. Then we bonded over some Irish Car Bombs, but that's a story for another time (as I still need to post about my Chicago trip).

So, I just got my first, real lawyer job!! YAY!

For 10 weeks this summer I will be living on (or near) the Umatilla reservation doing estate planning work!

I'm so so excited!

SB is coming

I've been being pretty neglectful lately but for good reason.

So many things have been happening this past week:

-tons of homework
-assignments due for two classes (that never happens)
-Indian law journal work
-Job interview this week
-Dustin is moving (that really consumed my whole weekend - looking for a new place for him, but totally totally worth it)
-and he left for Chicago for a business trip today (so official and important and things, YOU)
-I'm leaving for spring break (HAWAIIIIII) on Saturday (?)
-Cousin time before Chip leaves
-Sinus infection = trip to the doctor and many prescriptions, but not before the fever that lasted for three days last week.

So sorry for my neglectfulness. But I did get a bunch of new clothes yesterday from Dustin and my friend Kate. Gotta love it :)

Now time for more homework (always).
