the whole she-bang!

i found a place to live! it's on the east side and has great amenities; a huge walk in closet and dressing room, a dog park, and it's a huge one bedroom apartment. just the right side for nelson and i! here are some pictures. email me if you are a card or letter sender, i love to get real mail!!

oh my. i never thought it would be this hard to find a decent place to live in wichita. i mean i'm FROM here, i should know these areas and what is good and what isn't. but, i have spent the past two days sweltering in my car looking for a place to live. i'm looking to either rent a decent place or buy a fixer upper on the east side. unfortunately, the people i love think that everything past west street is "the ghetto". not true, but i just want to find a cute little house for around 50-55K. not that hard, just will have to live in a worse neighborhood than the one i grew up in.

get over it people.

much ado about LOTS!

must to update about anyway! since i blogged last i have...

*interviewed at six more firms
*received offers from two of them (one in tulsa, one in wichita)
*graduated from college! yay!
*accepted an offer with gossen livingston in wichita
*started looking for living
*HAVE not started working out, but jules and i have taken the dogs for a few walks...

so right now i'm adoring life and getting ready to move to wichita in july!

dresses, dresses, dresses

i just finished the color and couture dress for this year! it's beautiful in my opinion, dark grey and yellow halter dress with wood veneer belt and clutch purse. alex will be stunning in it, as long as i can finish sewing on the snaps to finish it off. SOOO, that is fun.

BUT...

i have ONE last class session left (that starts in 25 minutes). i'm getting ready to graduate with not a single job offer. depressing...

you should

if you haven't watched across the universe or listened to the soundtrack you need to. i listened to the soundtrack for like the MILLIONTH time today, and i STILL love it!

well it's late...

...and you know I've been up drinkin, (or working on studio...)
Talkin to myself up and down the hall. (SO true)
Ain't it great, another fabulous disaster. (like my life)
Well I can't wait, for the next hammer fall. (i can't take anymore hammers right now, thanks)

You may have won this battle baby,
But it don't mean I won't win the war.
And you, you don't even know what it is that you're fightin for.

Well it's early, I know you've been up waitin,
Waitin for me to finally call.
Talkin dirty, it ain't what you really wanted,
To slam another phone up against the wall.

You may have won this battle baby,
But it don't mean I won't win the war.
And you, you don't even know what it is that you're fightin for.

Well think about me when you're out there honey,
You know sometimes that I will.
Sometimes I feel like a broken stone rollin down your hill.
You may have won this battle baby,
But it don't mean I won't win the war.
And you, you don't even know what it is that you're fightin for.


ps - this is my all time favorite song...i just thought i'd adapt it a little for ya'll tonight!

KISSES!
don't tell kyle i put this up here, he'd kill me
