1 vase +

several pkgs. of birds +

various size branches =

a pretty little arrangement!

so i decided to take matters into my own hands and voila!

meditating..

{Isaiah 40}

³¹ but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

{Isaiah 41}

¹⁰ So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

[psalm] 34:18

"¹⁸ The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

i love gadgets, and especially ones that are in the 50-150 range.

pulling my hair outtt.

i have to vent:

i cannot stand listening to someone "sniffle."

i have terrible allergies, so if anyone understands then i do.

but my gosh, to not to anything about it is just annoying.

i am trying to study at starbucks.

minding my own business..

and i am having to blare christmas music on my ipod to drone the "sniffler" out..

(picture via google images)

i can only hope that she a) leaves or b) has a miraculous recovery!

college comfort?

i loveee {sweats} for the morning and nights,

but dressing up for the in between classes.

because i usually change after my morning class, haha.
