happy halloween!

This years last minute attempt at a Halloween costume... Debbie from "The Girl's Room" skit on The Amanda Show. Early '00s Nickelodeon is my jam. I'm off to work tonight... Happy Halloween!

kerry's memorial

Yesterday was Kerry's memorial service. We held it at Justin's parent's land out on the Wolf River. I got to meet a lot of Justin's extended family/close family friends for the first time, which was fun I guess. A lot of people from work showed up. I mostly kept close to Cora all day and we went off for a golf cart ride once Melissa, Maddie, and Starr showed up. Maddie, Starr and I all ended up losing our cake due to ~reckless golf cart driving... and I got thrown off the back end and ended up making snow angels in the gravel because #nope. Before we all cleaned up and went home, we all dropped carnations in the river and let balloons go in honor of Ker. Death always seems to equal drinking in some form or another, so Cora and I polished off 3/4ths of a bottle of wine last night and ended the night at Truck Stop for appetizers and good conversation.

It's weird how much can change in a year.

long time, no see blogland

feeling anonymous lately.
wanting to be invisible.
waiting and waiting and waiting to hear back from that job I interviewed for.
taking baby steps to open up my own photography business again.
the ultimate goal is to be open by next summer.
and in the meantime, struggle to maintain any sort of semblance of caring about my current day job.

i just wanna work for myself. i just wanna do what i love.
y'know?

heart eyes for days

I would gladly trade February's overall gloom and doom for a chance to live inside these October sunsets any day.

Forever in love with...

sweet sunday

fri-yay

I haven't been sleeping. Which either means that I'm about to get a fantastic idea or something bad is about to happen to someone close to me. I'm hoping so hard for the first because the world already has too many bad things in it. This entire week has felt like living in a fog of negativity and bad attitudes... Not really the ideal way to spend vacation, but I'm trying to make the best of it. I found two cute outfits at Good Will today and scored a cute pair of boots at Shopko tonight. Aside from accidentally leaving my lights on at Subway, today was a Friday to celebrate.
