Well...

its been a while.

dear diary,

i am still looking for a job (but i have gotten to spend time with my other man- grayson!).

our house is still a work in progress. i still love our little house.

my hair is literally the color of dirty toilet water. not cute.

our little puppy, huntley, is still sweet and completely unmanageable.

we are joining a country club (barf).

i have gained 8 lbs since the wedding.

it is already february?

marriage is hard work, but it really is the best thing ever.

i have been working as a temp receptionist for too long (where all i do is read "modern love" and then when i am done with that, i read blogs that i love that have cool things featured. so i have a ton of wants (not a single need in the bunch). here are some:

i need this moment in my brain bank filed under "do this a lot":

i want to have a succulent garden. because they are beautiful, and more importantly, i cannot kill them:
i LOVE this. my bedroom ideas are conflicting and very different and there are a lot of them. this could be a problem because we have a one bedroom.
and this one. i think i love this one more:

i want a nook... i want this nook:

i swear i would get a lot of "work" done if i had a corner like this:
when we have our baby, i am going to make this it's habitat. or in the mean time, maybe i will make this the puppys habitat. i neeeed this. i know i said there were no needs but i really do... especially once we have a baby. hahah

and then when babu grows up... what? this could totally be a boys room:

ugh i would not get a lot done if this existed in my house. but life cant be all about work, so i want to create this too:
our backyard needs love... this screams LOVE:

other than that life is pretty good. lots to look forward to.

highlights:

grayson said i love you leesha (thats me)

scotty built us a new fence... or started to... pics to come

annie is totally showing! so fun! and i am visiting oly in march.

i have three interviews next week.

i have lost three pounds. 250049228371246147124 to go.

scotty is sending me to new orleans to see my gaycee. (!!!!)

we have a black tie affair this weekend- always a good time!

it is sunny is california!

we have gas again. not to be crass- but fuck you edison.

my family is healthy and they know that i love them!

Inspiration for this weekend.

like i said, i am in a FUNK.

i look up beautiful things and save them to my desktop all morning long. and then i eventually have to clean up the desktop and i dont get to look at them and feel good. husband does not like clutter. not on the desktop. not in the new house. but an exception could be made for this:

i want so badly to be able to buy art all day long... and live in the clouds and have my best friends be unicorns...

love this of Big Sur. shocking. what is more shocking is that i could actually afford this. well, not really, but kindof...

when we have a baby- i want zac freeman to do a self portrait of her/him out of all of his/her old toys... ahmazeballs. this one, called "holly" is made of all things left behind, paint lids, microchips, or as the artist eloquently refers to his art: junk.

i need to do more of this with my main squeeze....
