25 Reasons to Paint

I would like to state, for the record, that this photo has absolutely no correlation to what I’m about to write. I just like it. So…I’m sharing.



1. I’ve officially lived in my house for 1 year, 6 months, and 19 days.


2. In that time I’ve painted one wall orange and 7 walls gray.


3. I think it’s about time for more walls to meet my paint brush, don’t you?


4. My dilemma is that my living space is one GIANT space.


5. Which means painting is a HUGE undertaking.


6. Which means I’m overwhelmed.


7. Which is not the opposite of underwhelmed because underwhelmed is not a word.


8. Whelmed isn’t a word either.


9. Who invented this language anyway???


10. Right now all but 8 of my walls are what I like to refer to as the inner depths of a week old banana pudding.


11.Particularly where the vanilla wafer meets the pudding and they’ve become one.


12. Are you picturing a brownish yellowish goldish color?


13. Good.


14. So, I’m leaning toward a nice neutral beige for the most part.


15. Possibly something like this:




16. But, I really think if I paint all of the GIANT walls in my living area the same color I’ll be bored.


17. And who wants to be bored?


18. Consider this (because I am): what if I paint the back wall of my dining room an accent color?


19. Can you dig it?


20. I’m digging it.


21. You know what would be so helpful to determine the answers to all of my questions?


22.Some pictures.


23. I’ll work on that.


24. After I clean my house.


25. After I procrastinate some more.

Insta Friday List

1. So…I’m really into procrastination.


2. I’m also really into making lists, but only on my blog.


3. Also, I’m really into saying, “Also, I’m really into.”


4. Plus, you know what else I’m really into? Cell phone pictures. Particularly Instagram, but sometimes Hipstamatic just to change it up a bit.


5. The following lovelies are brought to you by: my amazing new, white as a cloud, iPhone. We shall call her Sylvia. And my right thumb.

Currently reading. Fabulous.

De-lish-us.

Fave driving song.

Mysterious liquid?

Pretty kitty.

Just finished reading. Also fabulous.

Sylvia + Me + Instagram = TruLuv4Evr

Friday, How I Love Thee

1. I love Friday!


2. You know what else I love? Making lists on my blog.


3. Also, I’ve travelled to the dark side. You are now looking at an iPhone user. I traded in the ‘ol Blackberry for a shiny new white rectangle of deliciousness.


4. I also love…INSTAGRAM! It’s equally as delicious as the iPhone itself.





5. Last Friday I took my second to last final of my college career.





6. Instagram captured it for me quite nicely, don’t you think?



7. This is actually the first picture I took. Are you surprised it’s a picture of my cat? You shouldn’t be.





8. Also, last Friday, I went to the WalkAround which is part of the awesomely amazing homecoming celebration OSU has every year.





9. Can you believe that is made out of tissue paper??? Yeah, me either, but it really and truly is.


10. It’s so much brighter over here on the dark side. I highly recommend it!

A Happy Friday List

1. I’m really into lists right now.


2. Maybe it’s because my all time favorite blogger, The Pioneer Woman, makes lists and they always make me laugh.


3. Oh, and I only like to make lists on my blog, not in real life.


4. In real life I prefer to write on random post-its or scraps of paper or sometimes I just don’t write things down at all.


5. I found this picture when I was looking back through folders of pictures I took over the Summer. I like it. I wonder why I forgot about it? Probably because there are approximately 1,893,290.7 pictures in that folder.






6. When I work up posts on different computers the fonts are never the same. Like right now, I’m using Juice for my watermark…hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha….hahahahahahahaha….sorry, the name just really gets to my funny bone! Juice! Hahahahahahahaha! On a different computer I use Bella Donna, but it’s just not quite as funny as Juice! Hahahahahahaha!


7. Maybe I should download a font from Kevin and Amanda to use on all of my computers? In fact, I should probably send them my writing sample so I can have my own font!


8. How many computers can one girl use?!?!


9. This is one of my favorite pictures from the Summer. One I didn’t forget about, and shared on this post that had absolutely nothing to do with wine. It’s not perfect by any means, but I love its glittery fun-ness (yes, fun-ness is a word. In Amanda-ese!). I’m seriously considering framing this baby.






10. The more I think about it, the more I want to see if Amanda from Kevin and Amanda will turn my handwriting into a font. It would be so delicious!


11. Can font be delicious? Like bacon?


12. Now I’m hungry.


13. Happy Friday, all!


14. I wish you a weekend filled with fun-ness!


15. Christmas is in 73 days! Yikes! (I had to add that because ending on 14 was bothering me. You know, because I'm weird.)

A List

Today, I’m making a list. I’m not usually a list maker, but for some reason at this very moment in time I’m feeling it…the list vibe. Is this a medical condition? I don’t know, but if it is I’m sure there’s a vitamin for it.


1. I just watched Karev on Grey’s Anatomy put his grody bare feet on the table in the break room. Putting grody bare feet on tables that are not in the coffee table family is completely unacceptable in my opinion.


2. I really like to say, “in my opinion.” I think it comes from that episode of The Good Wife where that judge insisted all lawyers follow their statements with, “in my opinion.”


3. Random is a way of life and I live it to the fullest.




4. This plant is currently living on my front porch. It was one of those “at the end of the season” clearance plants. I snapped a picture of it because it was a random thing to do, and I love to be random. See #3 for more info.


5.TV commercials about feminine products, soap, body cleansers, and hemorrhoid creams really scare me. Like a lot.


6. I’m jealous of the 100ish blogs I read and their fantabulous blog designs. I aspire to be that cool one day.


7. Pan Am is seriously my new fave show. I want to be a Pan Am girl so badly I can taste it. Unfortunately, I don’t think I would fall into their ideal personal weight ranges. But being short and round is my destiny so I will embrace it. I love you Pan Am! I shall dream of you from afar…oh, and the future since I wasn’t alive in the 60s.


8. I really like to run my dishwasher at night because it’s one of the noisy kind, but I’m afraid it will spontaneously combust and I’ll miss it.




9. This is a building. A flying saucer shaped building. I took this shot when I was in Albany a couple months ago. I’m sharing it now because it’s a random thing to do, and I love to be random. See #3 for more info.


10. I love, love, love to repeat things. I think it gives what I say more emphasis. Plus, I forget stuff sometimes, and it’s a random thing to do. I love to be random. See #3 for more info.


11. Goodbye.


12. For now.
