Me: at the moment.

It's been a while since I've posted about myself and what's going on in my life. It's not for a lack of happenings, or a lack of thinking about myself, because Lord knows that never stops, but I really have been trying to sit back and experience life a little bit more and PLAN a little bit less.

There's been some newbies around these parts lately, so I feel like I should say hi! and here's who I am!

Anyway, here's a little taste of what I've been up to.*

I've been watching...Bones: Season 5 (on TV via the internet...yeah it's lame), 30 Rock: Season 3, Jersey Shore, One Tree Hill, Vampire Diaries, How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM): Season 3, assorted movies via NetFlix + X-Box and WAAAY too many episodes of Law and Order: SVU (yikes!). Please don't judge me on my bad taste in entertainment.

I've been reading...the first three books in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. READ THESE BOOKS. It's like Harry Potter but Greek mythology, instead of wizards! I inhaled them.

I've been writing...four chapters of a novel originating from a dream I had. What?! Who am I? But after the whole Twilight phenom, we can't just be ignoring these dreams of ours!

I've been creating...some blog designs that I really love and working with some really fantastic clients. I'm also trying to take steps to stir up business, like taking out a Facebook ad! but (shameless plug) I could still use your help, lovely readers! Word of mouth recommendations are the best!

I've been googling...endless amounts of old Anthropologie items. I've also been googling Alison Hannigan, because she is the most adorable thing EVER on HIMYM, and she has red hair, so I lover her.

I've been listening to...the New Moon soundtrack. Non stop. It's no secret that I'm a Twilight fan, but even if I wasn't, I swear I would still love this CD. Such a perfect, melancholy January mix.

I'm looking forward to...a real, grown-up Valentines Day with my husband. Where we go out to dinner and stay in a fancy hotel. Bathrobes and room service! Squee! I'm also really looking forward to my parents coming down for my brother's game next weekend. I'm also, also looking forward to receiving the handmade bread box my Uncle David made for me!

I'm pondering...why I have been given the interests I have (fashion, decorating, design, all things crafty) and where those interests will take me.

I'm loving...Wednesday movie nights with my husband, BSF, seeing my friends more often and searching for bridesmaid dresses with Ms. Spotts.

I'm missing...my Uncle Jerry, who is recovering from a recent health scare.

I'm dreaming of...going back to France, attending Fashion Week (either NYC or LA, I'm not picky), being a stylist for Anthro catalogs and having my hair long again.

So, what's up with you?

Edited to add: Check me out on the StyleLush site today. I love it there!:)
