my sweet sydney is a beach girl like her aunt.

not many times in life does someone come around that you feel such an indescribable comfort and love around.

sad.

i miss my old phone.
i love my blackberry, but it's lacking a camera. how am i supposed to take random pics and send them to people? grrr.

la inspires me. maybe i should re-phrase that......
california inspires me. and parts of la too. there is so much for me to take crazy photos of. nashville had little bits of greatness, but wow, there are lots of bits of greatness to be captured.

i'm buying a bad ass slr nikon pronto. merry early christmas to me.

xo.

love. this.

i'm back.

i'm settled.

i'm pretty happy.

the last 3 weeks have been full of stress, anxiety, confusion, questions and just go go go. glad that is over. it all fell into place though from start to finish and i'm thankful for the things that came into my life. the first day was overwhelming. the building is ridiculously intimidating and confusing. add that to meeting a bizzillion new faces. trying to remember names, floors (and which department is on which floor), waking up with a bad head cold wednesday and jeez, the challenge began. by friday though i was good.

buying a large canvas today and starting a painting for my bedroom. brown and turquiose maybe. we'll see. definitely a chill vibe for the room of relaxing.

hung out with jill yesterday, who moved to nyc after college and is now back in w. hollywood. love her. we had a blast like old times. both photographers. was taken out for a nice late dinner and then went home and crashed. today i'm hoping for some sunshine to either get some pool time in, or go run at the beach. love ca.

xo.

much needed.

i took a day off to go to atlanta to see bad religion.

i'm exhauted, but they rocked and i even left with greg hetson's guitar pick that land at my feet on stage. so many young kids. i felt old. this kid in the crowd with the goggles was trippin me out. drove back last night in a downpour. back at it today.

so good.

i have a pouty bottom lip....

......and in other news, i found the apartment i want. it's in westwood and it's amazing. hardwood floors. big windows. black and white checkered kitchen floor. send good vibes. i need this apartment to be mine!
