dream a little dream

I got to spend a good chunk of the weekend with that cute face (sans bink, sometimes) and I think I went a little bit overboard with the photos on Saturday but I'm blaming it on my newfound love for the Hipstamatic App for my iPhone. No seriously, the possibilities seem to be endless and I can't stop taking them. It just so happens that Maggie is the perfect subject to test it out on since, if it's not obvious, I can't stop taking pictures of her anyway. So I'm putting them all in a seperate set on my Flickr. But who could resist this face?

I always laugh because she looks SO SERIOUS in most of the photos I take. But I've realized that it's just due to the fact that when she smiles and is generally being the most adorable thing in this whole world, I lose control over all brain functions other than squeeing, laughing, smiling and planting kisses all over those perfect cheeks! To even think about trying to snap a photo in those moments is hilarious because you know, I'm trying to remind myself to keep breathing and not die. And while this girl has perfected the serious face, she also smiles and grins and drools all the time...and it is absolutely my favorite thing in the whole world.

My second favorite thing that I really probably love just as equally?

Holding her while she sleeps for so long, my arm falls asleep and shoulder starts to burn. But not realizing it because she's in such a blissful world of awesome baby dreams and I can't look away from the cuteness. I'm only reminded the next day when the ache is still there but I don't mind because it's pretty much the best kind of pain ever. Yes, it does exist.

So, other than going gaga over my Maggie filled weekend, it also included drinks and dancing at the Kilt on Friday night, tequila shots with my roommate on Saturday night for her 21st birthday and the Lost finale last night. The last of which, I am still processing because I haven't quite accepted the fact that it is gone forever. I'm working on that one.

weekend update.

I had a very fulfilling weekend, complete with spring cleaning, big hair and summer dresses (or, dress considering I wore said dress the entire weekend), UFC fights, spending time with the cutest kid in the whole wide world (read, Maggie via above) and making an insane amount of jello shots for Keith's birthday barbeque.

But really, catching this adorable smile from Maggie after she woke up from her nap and we were playing while her mom and I were chatting at Starbucks just totally made my weekend. I love this photo, so much. She's the most perfect & adorable child to ever grace this planet.

Or, as my mom put it (via text, after I sent her this picture): "she's a Gerber baby, the cutest thing I have ever seen! she could be a supermodel...only baby sized"

Margo!

Introducing, Margaret Raquel. Or, as I like to call her,  Margosaurous (Margo for short).  She's quite literally the most beautiful baby I have ever seen IN MY LIFE. No seriously, she's perfect and I'm not just saying that because she is my cousin. I equate her cuteness level to if you took rainbows, butterflies, unicorns and all the cute baby animals in the world; boxed them up in one package and carried that around for the rest of your life. SHE IS THAT CUTE TIMES ABOUT A MILLION. LITERALLY.

7/365

taken yesterday at lunch. my room is a disaster. pre-spur of the moment decision to color my hair. still debating today on whether or not I like it. oh well, it's just hair.

jan. 26. day: 7/365

5/365

so, this isn't from today exactly but from a couple weeks ago when my mom was here. just got a bunch of new pictures from that day. I look terrible (hello, squinty sun eyes) but I love this picture of my mom. it makes me smile, and laugh. and miss her even more. I'm always the most happiest when i'm around her, and I realized just how happy she really is during this trip. that really was a great day.
jan. 24. day: 5/365

4/365

spent the afternoon in Pismo to see the swells and tide thanks to the storms from the past week (they were HUGE, swear). forgot my camera, thank goodness for iPhones. got almost attacked by a deranged pelican. ate awesome fish & chips while sneaking bites of delicious clam chowder. finished off with a chocolate covered grasshopper (real ones, Hayden and I did. Middle picture is right after) which was gross. sprinting races on the beach until I won, now my legs are seriously sore though my feet were completely numb from the water. realized that I'm really lucky to live in the beautiful place that I do.
jan. 23. day: 4/365

3/365

another day, more rain. met with S for the first time in a week, she got me a new fedora which I love. vanilla chai & a chat with her at lunch made my day...even if I was 30 minutes late back to work.

day: 3/365

jingle bell rock & roll.

I just ordered the CUTEST CARDS I HAVE EVER SEEN off of Made By Girl. seriously, I don't think that I've been this stoked about something holiday themed in a long time. it's the first time I've ordered from them, but considering I already added about 20 other things into my cart, I don't think it'll be the last. I can't wait to get them!

thanksgiving.

can't decide what to make:

can't decide what to wear (or, buy to wear):

so much to do, so little time left. but whatever, come this time tomorrow I will probably be half-way into a full blown food (and wine!) coma, and I couldn't be happier about it.
