Update...

HIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Here's a super unorganized update!

It's been a bit but I had to write about tonight as I just had the best time with Kelsey at Beauty Bar and Vine St.  That girl is too much fun.. we just ended up giggling the whole time typical girl-style.  Everything else has been going well too.  Jeremiah and I got some new-to-us furniture from his parents barn sale and classed up the living room and library by A LOT A LOT which has made me feel so much more at home!  My little brother said it looked like professors lived there which I WILL TAKE!!  Jeremiah and I have both been crazy busy with school but I love having a partner in crime to head to the coffee shop with for the insane amount of studying we've needed to do.  Let's see, what else is new?  My dad came for a visit and stayed with us for a couple days.  I showed him and my brother around campus and the city but what I want to show them most is the ranch.  And I especially want my dad to meet Sherman (my favorite horse in the world).  Thanksgiving will have to be the time for all that.  Today was the first cold day of fall in Denver which means I'll get to start layering!!!!  EEK!  Fashion is the best this time of year and I love drawing inspiration from people watching and experiments with my own crazy closet.  Love love love.

I feel good lately.  It's been a while.  Sorry, no details, but I've gone through a rough patch the past few months and I'm finally feeling better and better every day.  YES!  I always neglect the bloggy when I'm feeling blue or way too busy and I'm reaaaally happy the blue part of the equation is making its way outta here:)  Fab!  Here's some pics from Beauty Bar forever ago.

Blog names...

So, I've been looking to start a full-on fashion blog just as soon as I can figure out HTML, blog most days of the week, and take a decent photo.....  soooooooo it's a long way off but I asked Jeremiah to do some brainstorming for blog names and I couldn't help but share:
1.) Epics of Eyewear
2.) Homage to Hats
3.) Legends of Leggings
4.) Hobo Chic Cowgirl
5.) Lady in the Street
6.) Epic Ensemble
7.) Thrilla

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  What a gem!!  Thrilla.  Priceless.

Goodbyes...

I had a bit of a sad night tonight because I said my final goodbyes to my ladyfrand, Morgan.  I tried to keep it swift, no crying.  But Morgan was there for me when I had no one else in Denver.  I remember one of the first nights we got together I'd just planned to check out her new litter of kitties but we ended up talking for three straight hours.  Some people come into your life at the exact time you need them most.  And boy, was her friendship appreciated.  Anywhoo, enough with the sads.  Morgan always liked my weirdest outfits so I think she'd approve of this one, turban and all.

Old Navy scarf.

Nine West messenger bag.

F21 and thrifted sweaters.  Nine West tights and socks.

AND!  Nine West oxfords?  Are these oxfords?  Either way, I love the suede body and patent heel and detailing.

HOWDY!

Today was the last day of moving cows before they'll be shipped out on Tuesday and we had the absolute perfect day of riding.  It's been over a month since I've been to the ranch so today was quite special.  This is Samantha, Sherman and Paint.  AND ME! I'll always be in awe of horses.

Jeremiah and Paint.

Sherman and me.  Not yet awake.

Hahaha.  He's so funny.  Today was one of our best rides as we were completely in sync the whole time.

Only missing Fireball and Jude in this one.  PERFECT DAY!!!!!!!  And in case you're wondering, we got all the cows.  AND!  we saw a baby yak.

Joke...

Jeremiah just made up a joke:
J: Do you like words?
S: Yeah.
J: You should read a book.

And we've been laughing for like, 10 minutes.  Probably time for bed.

Judgement...

Holy judgement!  I thought people came to college with the intention of opening their minds to new and unfamiliar ways of thinking but all I heard in my Race and Ethnicity in American Lit class today was the rigidity and hostility of my classmates' personal beliefs.  How can people expect to grow and open their minds if they are voluntarily stuck in the mud.  The judged judge the judged judge the judged just as I judge the judging.  What a cycle, what a world.  I just wish the rigidity of people's personal opinions didn't create an ever-present sense of self-righteousness with that sweet stink of superiority.  People shouldn't come to class if the only opinion they're interested in is their own.  Stay home and write in yer friggin' diary!  Just kidding, keep coming to class so I can come home and cry about it in my blog!!!  EEEE!!

Anywhoo!!  We just finished this book and it resonated with me in so many ways.  Mostly in regards to the chitter-chatter that is oh-so common in many (all?) cultures including our own.  Going back to judgement; the book made me wonder why people are so quick to chew people up and spit them out despite having such limited perspectives.  WHY!?  Whatevs, I do the same thing!  The point is, "Their Eyes Were Watching God" puts a mirror in front of readers' faces and forces them to take a good hard look.  "Just look at it!!"  In other news, I LOVE COLLEGE!

Positive energy...

Positive energy.  Positive energy.  Positive energy.  All I can think about lately are those words on repeat.  All I want to do is be around positive people and energy so I can build from the bad and send out my own positive energy.  I want to be my best self and change people's lives for the better regardless of my past self.

In addition to those feelings, a family friend of Jeremiah's is in a rough spot with his health and I'm struggling with this information because I was just playing Pitch with him last weekend.  And he was belly laughing at my sass and encouraging me to tune out all the other players, I was doing just fine.  I'm praying with all my positive energy for Big Joe right now.
