4. Follow Your Heart Women's Graphic Crew Neck Sweater from Old Navy: So I REALLY wanted the Heart & Soul sweater I saw on Suburban Faux-Pas's blog (how cute is this look?!), but it is sold out.  *tear* This Follow Your Heart sweater is really cute too!
5. ASOS CURVE Trench Coat in Spot Print: Who doesn't love a good trench coat?  It's a basic necessity along with food, water, and shelter!  I can see me wearing this one everyday!

2. Problem Pin from Looking For Trouble:  I REALLY REALLY want the necklace from the Natalia Kills video, but I will settle for the pin... if you know where I can get the necklace help a girl out and tell me!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LARRY!!!

You are an amazing friend and I am a better person for knowing you (my sarcasm has reached new levels)!

Two Sundays ago I celebrated my good friend Larry's birthday.  We went to brunch at Brix in Yountville, CA and it was amazing.  The day was perfect too.  It was so nice out, beautiful blue skies and warm sun rays.  I was so happy to share they day with Larry!!

It's Been A Challenging Couple of Weeks...

As my title says, it has been a challenging couple of weeks...I am still trying to figure a lot of things out.  Getting my feet settled on the ground has not been easy, but I am slowly getting there.  I apologize for the lack of posting, but I needed to get my head on straight first.  OK, it's not straight yet, but it is getting there.

I also want to apologize to my friends for my lack of being around.  My body and mind are not used to working with only 4 days off a month anymore, but I have to work this much.  I know a lot of you are messaging me saying you miss me and want to see me, and I miss you and want to see you too!  Just give me some time to make my life function again, and I'll make my way out to visit all of you.

Getting my body used to my new schedule hasn't been easy.  I don't know if I will ever get there.  I like my new job though.  It's not incredibly difficult and I am picking up how to do things very quickly.  My co workers (well the ones I have met) are all really nice.  I think I can bring a lot to the table.  It is also nice being able to sit instead of standing all day long!  It was really really weird at first, but my feet haven't been swollen (well, they were Sunday for other reasons).

So here I am... trying to better myself.  Setting goals, making decisions.... you know being an adult (boooooo).  I want to be out of Napa in no more than 3 years from now and I gotta step up and actually take care of myself.  For someone who puts everyone before herself, that is so much easier said than done....

Music Heals The Soul...

been trying for a long time to pretend like everything is okay in my life, but it's really getting hard. I don't like to really let people know what's going on with me, because when it comes down to it the only person who is always going to be around to help me is me.  I have to do things and help myself...

It's times like these that I just need to escape.  My escape is music.  I can get lost in the music and "forget" all that is going wrong in my life right now.  I know I should focus on what is good, but when the bad is taking it's toll on me I put on my headphones close my eyes and just let the music take me someplace else.... anyplace else...  some of my favorites to listen to right now...

What do you listen to when you just need to step out of your life?  I love music (not a huge country fan) and am always open to suggestions!
