.it's the little things.
i started reading A Storm of Swords a day or two ago & realized something.
I thoroughly enjoy reading who the book (whatever book i might happen to be starting) is for. i also realized that i would rather read about who a book is “for” as opposed to who a book is “dedicated to.” don’t ask why. for i do not know.
but when i opened up this book, it being the...
Hugh Grant is so adorable in About A Boy.
.letdown.
so i saw one of my my mini-crushes (a bank teller at Iberia Bank, which I frequent because of making deposits for King’s Camp) standing out by his car when I drove up to make my daily deposit. I almost didn’t recognize him though because he had a big ole belly, that I never see because he’s always sitting behind a window & counter.
soooo this might make me super...
.weekend.
my weekend
consisted of babysitting these munchkins friday & saturday night
(they were doing the cha cha slide here)
and nursing my busted up ankle by wrapping it in an ace bandage & keeping it elevated.
SO SAD i couldn’t go down for the colour revolt show. ugh.
but even if i had gone down to baton rouge for it, i wouldn’t have been able to go b/c my ankle hurts so...

.bodyROCK.
i apologize because i’m sure nobody really cares about this, but i’m excited about it, so I’M WRITING ABOUT IT!
on the first day of this 30 day challenge i’m doing on bodyrock.tv, you take a fitness test to kind of see where you are physically. then you take another one after the first two weeks, & then you take ANOTHER one at the end, so you can see how much...
.lol'ing in my head.
I’m currently reading The Diary of Anne Frank, & I’m absolutely dying! I mean, yes, she’s 13 when she starts writing & 15 when it ends & obviously that’s a very pivotal time in anyone’s life with puberty & such happening…but oh my lord.
I just read a lengthy paragraph where she describes what a vagina looks like! This is hilarious.
...
.oh my god.
i never thought How I Met Your Mother would make me cry.
damn.

.weekend schmeekend.
i am a one week down BODY ROCKER! (www.bodyrock.tv)
it really is amazing that I’ve actually completed one full week of working out. anytime i’ve ever tried to work out before, by day 3, i’m like…”uhh F this S.” & never look back.
now let’s just see if i can pick it back up on monday :/
only 3 weeks to go!
it’s a moose!
so i made this...
.urp.
i just stepped on the square foot area of carpet in my room known as “Becca’s Throw Up Spot” with a bare foot for the first time in probably 15 years.
Needless to say, it still made me shudder, gag, & say “ew.”

.clubbin'.
my newest creation.
yee! i’m really happy with how well it came out. cutting out such thin pieces of metal was challenging & i could have EASILY screwed it up. but i like the outcome. A LOT!
whenever i make a facebook for this jewelry-thing i have going on, i will not be showing this little guy. i’m sure there’s some trademark on it and what not. don’t want to...
.not awesome weekend/monday.
it’s one of those days.
no motivation to do anything productive.
but i need to be productive.
so i go and cut out some jewelry pieces.
break about 6 or 7 saw blades.
cuss a blue streak.
the pieces i cut out look horrendous.
drop everything & go inside the house but dad’s here so there’s no privacy.
go blog about it, hoping it will make me feel better.
but it...
.im not crying, it's just raining on my face.
Whooooaaa.
I’m pretty sure I just shed waay too many tears while watching the very last (EVER) episode of Friday Night Lights.
I am so thankful that I was smart enough to watch this entire show alone so that no one could what a humungo baby I am.
Talk about weepy.
Man.
I can’t believe it’s over.
Sad day.

.call me copper.
finally…some peace & quite around here.
my mom is working in shreveport all week on a murder trial, & my dad left today to go stay with her tonight. granted, he will be home tomorrow afternoon, but that’s 24+ hours of alone time THANK THE LARD.
and i believe i started this span of loveliness on the right foot…
i started making jewelry for the first time today! i made...

.dreamland.
just spent an hour of my life dreaming about owning/living out of an airstream trailer. is that weird?
how cute is this?!!?
i could totally live alone in this thing & be the happiest person on the planet.
it’s the perfect size, & it’s not like i cook anyway, so the .5 inch stove wouldn’t bother me one bit!
half of why dreaming about this was so fun was that...
.happy slapsgiving!.
and what a lovely slapsgiving it was. i absolutely love this day every year and this one was no different. and i think my favorite part of this day was watching “a very gaga thanksgiving” with dave and the parents. hahaha…so strange to me that all of us like lady gaga in our own little ways and then bonded together about it for an hour. it was actually really good and kind of...
.doylestown.
john’s dad & stepmom are in town for the weekend, so we drove to Doylestown to do a little window shopping. it’s a realllly cute little place, a little reminiscent of Chestnut Hill, and the fall colors were lovely here as well.
of course, i took a number of photos, so i’ll let them tell the story…
obviously, i’m a fan of the hipstamatic app.
...
.chestnut hill.
today we took a little field trip to chestnut hill for a little shopping.
it’s on the outskirts of philadelphia, & it’s an adorable little cobblestone road lined with old european-like shops & buildings.
plus it was a beautiful cool day, great weather for walking around and peeking in shops. luckily cole was dressed just perfectly for it…
i, unexpectedly, found...
.park.
yesterday afternoon, em, cole, & i walked down the road to the little neighborhood park and did a little swinging…
last night we went to poker night at some friends of em & john’s, and even though every single person there was with their husband/wife, i really enjoyed myself and talked to a lot of them. it felt really good to be myself and chat it up with a bunch of...

perfect shopping buddy.

are you seriously on your iPad…playing angry birds…with the volume turned up all the way…while you constantly run your tongue along your top lip????

oh hey cute boy next to me…what’s your name?
&love, O
.curious.
I forget that basically the only people I ever fly with are businessmen/women. They are all over the place! With their little nondescript cinderblock looking laptops typing away.
what in the world could be so important that causes you to type that frantically RIGHT before a flight?
these people are a total mystery to me.
and honestly, they kind of freak me out.

i’m worried.
…about grad school.
…about all of the shit that comes with getting ready for grad school.
…about applying to the “right” grad schools.
…about paying out the butthole for grad school.
…about the fact that my eyes have been opened to the fact that i should have been making photographs and having art shows for the past year and a half.
…about not having time to do...

i can’t believe this weather!
the cleaning lady came today and so i tried to stay out of her way by reading out in the back right after getting out of the shower with a wet head and i nearly FROZE!
bad move, liv.
comforting to know that i have five of these babies to eat whenever the hell i wanna.
after watching the sixth sense and hocus pocus last night, i kept the halloween movie...

i wish i could date lloyd dobler.

.ugh.
lord forgive me.
but i reeeaaallllly don’t like kristen stewart.
and it’s not because she’s got robert pattinson wrapped around her.
she just sucks.
on another note, “in the end” by linkin park came on the radio in the car tonight & i sang every word like it was 2002.

cute boot alert!!!
yiipee!
.this is it.
i think it’s safe to say that i have enjoyed my time at the stedman house thus far.
i had a lunch & saints game date with lern, which we did all under the great gazebo-type structure in the backyard complete with television.
then day-day came over and we had a relaxing, enjoyable visit in the hot tub sharing our love of pop music & wishing justin timberlake would come back from...
.yay.
headed out today at noon…luckily, it’s a beautiful day so that put me in an even better mood!
i did my usual and stopped to get lunch at your friendly neighborhood sonic.
:) hi sonic. it’s good to see you too!
num.
and then, somehow, i had one of those days that you know exactly what cd you’re in the mood for…so you put it on, and you know every word, and...
.FINALLY.
the time has finally come…
i picked up the jewelry desk from jennifer clark today, which meaaaans…
i can now make jewelrrrrrryyy!!!
except that i leave tomorrow for 5 weeks…
and then when i get back i can make jewelrrrrrryyy!
i can even mount my drill on it, and this tray catches all of the little pieces that drop while i’m working.
man i am so freaking PUMPED.

.it's a jungle.
went to a 6 year old’s birthday party yesterday…made me realize that i don’t know that i’ve ever been to a kid’s party as an adult. this sounds totally pedophile, but i did a lot of kid-watching (as opposed to people-watching), and i’ve got to say, it’s MUCH more entertaining than plain ole people-watching.
for example:
this kid in the lavender...
.sad sad.
just watched last week’s episode of project runway b/c the new one comes on tonight, and i’m absolutely heartbroken.
my sweet and adorable baton rouge-native, Anthony Ryan got kicked off! I was so positive he would be going to the final 3. i mean, yes, it’s probably silly that i’m blogging about this, but THAT’S HOW UPSET I AM THAT HE LOST!
can’t wait to...
.wait.
went shopping with my marm on her lunch break and this was the creative result i ended up with while waiting for her in the parking lot outside of dillard’s.
i realized that i hardly ever take photos of myself.
needless to say…it felt weird.
found her some cute grey wedge boots though, and then i got home and ordered me some booties! i’m excited…i’ve never...
.babyshat.
day one of playing mom & dad for the ellender clan - DOWN.
these kids are so amazing I can’t really see it getting any harder than this.
watch me eat those words in the next 24 hours.
on another note - today was a gorgeous day!!
i even rolled the windows down a little bit and found the perfect soundtrack for the weather - joanna newsom’s record “y’s.”
yes,...
.jiggity jig.
i am THIS happy to be back home and in my own bed.
after touring the house i’m going to be living in for 3 weeks today, i can’t help but get uber excited about having people over to hang out with me.
the pool is beautiful and there’s a HOT TUB and everything is TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED.
there’s a GAZEBO with a FLAT SCREEN TV in it.
outdoor SPEAKERS to listen to...
