my name is angie. and i like to party.

this is my idea of a good time- putting sprinkles on my french toast.

dream it; do it

lets make a long story short here.. when i was 15, i started dating this guy. at first we were really happy, but after a year or so things turned sour. i stayed with him though, for years after that, even though i was miserable. (thats a story for another day) but when we broke up last fall, i finally had a little time to live my own life- to find out who I am. and now that im single, i have some time to really reach for my own goals. lately ive really been all about "making it happen." as in- dont just sit on your butt and wish for this and that- go do it! here are some things that im looking forward to discovering for myself

1) learning how to sew
2) learning how to cook
3) reading more books
4) making my etsy successful

these are just a few things- the things that im planning on working on as soon as the street fair is over with (right now, that is my number one goal).

new little guy added to etsy today

on the hunt

when i moved into my current house, a year and a half ago, i had the idea to decorate my room with india-inspired details. i had the orange, embroidered meditation pillows, and i bought some blue striped satiny curtains. i had some other little do-dads and things but it didnt take long for me to change my mind with that whole thing. now my room doesnt really have a theme- its just whatever i like- but i still have the curtains up, and i dont like em. after months of searching, i found THESE! (in white) they make me drool. but theyre a little out of my price range. :( im scouring the internet looking for something comparable and less expensive. im sure there has to be something out there for me. or i could make them? maybe? anyone know a shop or a sewing pattern for me?

trees, grass, books, and the future

today in my drawing class we went out to an area by the woods that i didnt know existed. it was so super pretty, that i really want to go back. next time i think ill bring a bunch of blankets so i can stretch out, and my book, Eat Pray Love. i never liked reading in the past- i thought it was a waste of time, like video games- but for christmas last year a good friend gave me a book about an owl and i loved it. i had never read a book for mysef before, i mean, not a book for school. today at target i walked through the book section and wanted one of everything. but i decided to wait until i finish Eat Pray Love before i buy another. there are 2 points to this rambling story of mine: 1) i cant wait to go read in this pretty patch of trees, 2) i've changed a lot in the past few months. im starting to find out who i am and what im all about. im also starting to live the life ive wanted. yay. :)




oh, and in class, i sat next to a groundhog hole. he came out and saw us and made this ear-splitting whistle. it was cool. :] but i felt bad that i didnt have any snacks to leave him.

something i love: mythbusters

this is by far my favorite show right now (well, other than the daily show and the colbert report). i just cant get enough of this show. it satisfies my inner science nerd. although i dont have a destructive bone in my body, i love watching the high speed footage of things blowing up. and i love trying to guess what will happen. "Will the rocket have a normal trajectory or will it spin out of control? Will the gasoline ignite into a fireball or will it fizzle out? Will things go as planned or will the whole crew miscalculate their safety distance and all get hit by shrapnel?" The excitement never ends.

if i were a disney princess, i would be:

belle. because im super nerdy and i have terrible taste in men.
