A Pauper's Instagram

I haven't had the patience for taking outfit photos lately. What with the clicking, self-timing, and not being able to wear stretchy pants. But then again I never intended this blog to be solely devoted to photos of me posing like a wannabe Kohl's model.
So here's a glimpse of my most recent shenanigans.
(I'm poor, so I don't have an iPhone or Instagram.)

Pea is quite pleased with springtime and open windows next to birds' nests. She chats with them on occasion. I imagine the conversation to be something along the lines of "Blast! If it were not for this screen, I would capture you and...make you my friends."

 Don't ask me the name of this yoga pose. I couldn't tell you. In my mind I remember it as the one where I make a triangle shape with my arms and leg.

Haha. Lois Lane. Get it. Ha. 

Nerd.

I've been making a lot of Meep and Merp doodles. I also ordered animation software, so soon there will be animated Meep and Merp cartoons floating around the internets. Yay!!

And these are hedgehog earrings that I scored for $2. Their names are Tina and Tino. They amuse me.


Alas, do not let your heart be troubled...I shall return on Thursday with an outfit post.
Because I really am just another wannabe Kohl's model.

Be My Valentine?

Happy Valentine's Day from Meep and Merp!

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

(and from me too 'cause I love youse guys)

Goals, Promises, Resolutions

This is the first year I've made resolutions and documented them. I can see why people enjoy it so much. Optimistically laying out plans for the next year freshens and inspires the spirit in a way. So here are my resolutions for 2012 (though I prefer to think of them as goals or little promises to myself).

A lot of this is to do with time management. Being a college student is taxing on personal time. I always promise myself not to allow college to subtract from what I love or to subtract from how many hours of sleep I have each night. Nothing is so important that it should deprive me of my life.

What are your goals for this year? I have a feeling mine will extend far beyond this little list. 2011 was a rather challenging year for me, so I'm sure 2012 can only be better!

The Adventures of Meep and Merp

Josh's gift was by far my favorite to give this year. I invested much time into it, and it is such a perfect manifestation of our relationship. Seeing Josh laughing so hard was the highlight of my Christmas. All the doodles, which I made into a sweet little book, are by me, and they are snapshots of our adventures together. The girl owl is Meep, and the boy is Merp. 

I hope my little owls have brightened your day :)

What was the highlight of your Christmas?
