exhaustion

so i can barely keep my eyes open today. literally, they're burning to close...

.........zzzzzzzz.........

see!? i just feel asleep for a seccond!

haven't been sleeping great the last couple nights.. don't know what's going on. making some big decisions these days so maybe the fact that my brain is working double time has some relevence to the problem. all exciting decisions, though.. mostly..

i'm doing a photography workshop with some incredible ladies and learning from a huge inspiration of mine, sheye rosemeyer. i took her first course last year and this is the more advanced workshop. i am loving it.. feeling overwhelmed with the amount of talent i'm surrounded by there, but i'm also feeling the drive to achieve my dreams.. and it's wonderful. it's so easy to get complacent in life and just drift on through. one day, we'll look back and wonder where all the time has gone.. why our dreams were always pushed to the sidelines. jake and i are trying hard to change this in our own lives and will disclose our plans for the future to you all soon enough.

for now, i need to focus on the present.. go drink a diet coke. wake up. try to enjoy the fact that it's friday instead of being irritated by every person in my office today. yes, tired equals moody when it comes to me. at least i just shut my mouth and hide in my cubicle.. could be worse.  : )

ya'll enjoy yer weekend. xo

musicality

i've been MIA.
i apologize.

been crazy the last few weeks. i can't believe the 4th of July has come and gone already.

the cruise was kind of a blur. an amazing & incredible blur.. but a blur all the same. that post will come soon.. it's actually already been written, but pictures need to be inserted and i need to be home with an extra 20 mins in order to do that. so patience please.

i've been overwhelmed with the urge for musicality lately. i always listen to music... every second i'm in the car, all day at work, while editing photos.. i'll be at bbq's eating delicious food with perfect company, but am annoyed that there's no music in the background. i've been like this for as long as i can remember. i want people to ask me what new music they should buy.. or who my favorite bands are.. can they hear that song i've been humming all day.. it makes me happy. jake's been playing the guitar a lot lately.. learning dropkick murphys songs and mumford & sons. its delightful. i love hearing him strum.. while biting his lip in concentration. :)

so i just wanted to share with you some tunage i'm listening to these days. some new, some old.. all incredibly awesome. do yourself a favor...

check em out.
