Wallpaper? YES PLEASE!





A co-worker of mine, Adam, sent me this link to some amazing wallpapers today. My general outlook on residential wallcoverings has never been very positive, but lately there have been some amazing wallpaper designs surfacing. This link, and the wallcoverings posted are some amazing modernized retro coverings I love! Imagine one bold accent wall. Amazing
Make sure you check out the link and the gallery!

Happy New Years Everyone!!

Threadless

So since living in Chicago I have found a delightful little t-shirt shop, that might be my favorite store ever. All their t-shirts are designed by the staff or customers or just the average joe. You can submit a design on-line and people vote whether it should be printed or not. I eventually want to design a shirt and submit it. In the mean time, here are some shirts that have made it and been printed. I love these ones and find them HI-larious. I hope you enjoy just as much as I do.

I had a delightful time in Florida for Christmas and its been difficult to get back into the groove of things. More to come soon.

My Little Christmas Tree


My tree!

Plus a cute little picture from Thanksgiving of Mahmoud and I.

So, I wasn't going to buy a little Christmas tree or really decorate for the holidays...UNTIL, Mahmoud and I saw this cute little Christmas tree for only 5 dollars! It gives my apartment a little Christmas spirit. I also got the cute little sparkly black fawn to go with it. :  )

I am getting ready to go to Florida on Friday and I am excited! I have been a little emotionally drained recently and I am in need of a good break and some vitamin D from the rays of SUNSHINE I will be expecting.
Safe travels to everyone who is traveling and Happy Holidays!

Tis that time of year...

I got this ear-warmer from a co-worker of mine during our office gift exchange!


so last weekend was my company christmas party extravaganza & office gift exchange. it was at a delicious middle eastern restaurant where we sat on low seating, (some people, NOT in dresses, sat on poufs on the floor) there was a belly dancer, and a tarot card reader...which freaked me out at first! Mahmoud came up from Florida to be my date, he looked soooo handsome, i think. So here are a few pictures from the event. 
so the tarot card reader...she asked me for a topic and I said career...according to her, there is going to be a lot of opportunities for travel coming up, i will get along with all my co-workers and that I have a positive vibe and I get what I want. Nothing too bad. I have lots of projects coming up so I will keep everyone posted.

p.s. I started reading Twilight which just came out as a movie, and its been great so far! I am going to make myself finish it before I see the movie...but I love it so far, it makes me smile on the train, so hopefully people think i am crazy and wont try and mess with me.
