Did anyone catch Austin City Limits this past weekend? Loved seeing Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Here they are singing That's What's Up.

oh what the hell

I've never been one to make a New Year's resolution list. But as I laid in bed all day long on the first day of 2013, I thought this is either the best way to start the year, or the absolute worst. I don't want 2013 to be defined as the year I moped around, trying to "figure out" what I want to do with my life, another stagnant year, the pre-curser to a stagnant life, because I was too afraid to get out of bed, get dressed, and challenge myself. So here they are. Resolutions, goals, challenges. Albeit small, they are things that need to happen in order to reclaim my slowly dwindling self-respect.

I just ran in place for four minutes because my mind was moving way too fast for my body.

Tomorrow I have a phone interview for an internship that I really really want.

Nervous so nervous.

Hence the calming image of my view from bed. The most un-nervous place in the world.

I'm really digging this Autumn and Winter line by Sessùn.

My mom found this photograph that my Grandpa took probably fifty or so years ago in San Francisco. How cool would it be to find this same street and see how it has evolved over the years?

Challenge accepted. 

I wish I may, I wish I might

I wouldn't mind it if any of these items were in my possession by 2013. Just saying.

Gridded Moleskin Notebooks I love gridded notebooks. Especially these ones. Perfect for taking little notes throughout the day, collecting inspiration, and of course, mindless doodling.
Vintage Cocktails Book Who doesn't want a beautiful book with classic cocktail recipes.
Jewel In The Rough Pouch I have been lusting after this since the latest Anthro catalog came in the mail. Gosh darn those catalogs.
Bubble Umbrella Umm matches everything? Super cute? Less chances of hitting someone with my umbrella? Done and done.
Apron I have a strange love for aprons.
Print Would be pretty beautiful on my wall.
Kitchenaid Mixer Doesn't every girl dream of having a KitchenAid with all the attachments?
Washi Tape For adding a little zest to letters and wrapping gifts.
Crossbody Camera Satchel by ONA I'm really tired of shoving my nice camera into my purse because I don't want to lug around an ugly camera bag. I'm vain. It's okay.
Coral Trench Pretty.
Turquoise Tea Kettle Confession. I already know that I'm getting this for Christmas. Shh.
Bright colored envelopes Another obsession. I am slightly embarrassed of my envelope collection. Actually, no, no I'm not. Because white envelopes are boring. Opening up your mailbox to hot pink vellum envelopes is the best. Man, I am SUCH a good friend, spicing up mailboxes.

What are you guys wishing for this year?

I really truly have one of the very best moms out there.
