Inside Kimmy's Mind

Everywhere I turn couples are either getting married or expecting a child, I’m assuming because it is Spring time. And this is just the designated season to marry your significant other and to reproduce.

In the blog universe two of my favorite bloggers have also embraced the season of marriage and baby making. I have mentioned this blog before, she inspires me with every post.I hope to one day make my blog as interesting as hers is.  Her and her husband are the cutest couple, their vintage style is just so picture perfect.  I also enjoy reading this blog, I love how her and her husband collaborate on her blog. He takes such amazing pictures of her. So adorable. Its what I hope for in a relationship, working together to create something. Meeting someone that not only supports but inspires me as well.  Anyway, they are expecting their first child.

In my real world, I’ve mention my best friend having her first baby back in January, and he is still the cutest thing in the world. >.< Such a cute baby, in some pictures he definitely looks like Missy and then in others I think he resembles his dad. Its so weird and amazing all at the same time. I’ve never been a baby person and I’m still not comfortable with holding him but as soon as he is old enough to crawl I might be able to hold him. lol Continuing on, my older sister got engaged a couple of weeks ago. Its pretty exciting, no date has been decided as of yet. But I’m hoping its not too far away. It will probably be in a year or so. Usually when a family member gets married, I dread going to the wedding. I’m not a fan of them. But when its someone I truly love then I know I will enjoy myself. I’m already planning on a toast to give during the dinner. It’s my older sister so I have plenty of words to share, maybe some embarrassing stories or two as well. XD

I’m looking forward to the wedding, I hope the plans go smoothly and she doesn’t turn into a bridezilla. XD Beause she can be pretty scary when things aren’t done in the way she wants them to be done. And I’ll actually have to do what she says since its her wedding. -.- Yeah I’m looking forward to that part. But in all seriousness, she shouldn’t be too difficult. lol But I know she won’t be one of those brides that pick the most ugly bridesmaid dresses for us to wear. But I’m more excited to see her try on a lot of different wedding gowns.  So weird my sister is engaged. >.<

And here are today’s 5 things I love! <3<3<3

• New Girl- an upcoming tv series starring Zoey Deschanel, I love her

• The Goblin King Jareth from the movie Labyrinth played by The gorgeous David Bowie. He is amazing as himself, but I really love this character.

  

• Honeycomb book shelves- I find these shelves absolutely adorable and want some of my own.

• Baileyblue dress- I needed a dress for my little sisters confirmation, so I went shopping for one and and had no luck in finding anything that I would be remotely comfortable in. Finally we went to JcPenny’s and I found this dress. However mine is gray and I wore it differently compared to the model in the picture. But I love it. The only thing its missing is pockets.

• Long John donuts- :9 I WANT ONE NOW!!! The kind with the yellow custard not the white whipped cream kind.

Maybe I shouldn’t do food anymore on these things. Also I should start walking around the block from now on. Just looking at this picture can make you gain weight. >.<

So since the semester has ended, my sleep schedule as reverted back to its normal carefree pattern. Meaning sleeping late and sleeping in.  So instead of trying to sleep at a decent time I do what I normally do in this situation. Browse Netflicks for a cheesy romance movie to fall in love with. XD

I love when I find a cutesy, make your tummy jump and smile and cry all at once sort of movie. I’m aware that tummies can’t actually smile or cry. But when I watch these types of movies it feels as if mine can. Because its a jump, a smile, a cry I can feel in the pit of my stomach. 0.O Weird I know, I’m probably not making sense. But I have the snot and smile lines to prove it. So I didn’t necessarily fall in love with this movie, but it made me think about life and about the people in my life and about what I’m doing with my life. Whether or not I’m living it right tends to cross my mind quite often during a time like this. And I wonder, “Am I happy?”….However, I feel like this isn’t the right question and therefore can’t answer it. There are tons of factors to consider. Maybe if the question was, “Am I unhappy?” You might think by answering this question you get the answer to the first one but I like to think that these questions are extremely different. No I am not unhappy, I am not depressed nor suicidal.  Thankfully I’m not feeling any of these emotions. So no worries. But am I necessarily happy? Not sure. I know I’m not on the negative spectrum of emotions. But I don’t find myself on the positive side either. I think I remain in the middle.

I know its really odd how a movie can make me zone out and actually think about weird questions such as these. And normally people know whether or not they are happy with their lives. And I can say I am happy in a sense, but I know there are some things I wish I could change in some way. But who doesn’t feel that way. I know that life wouldn’t be real if there weren’t some difficulties to overcome. I also know that I won’t be really happy unless I do my best at BEING happy.  Of course knowing what is causing me to be stuck in neutral would help. But I think I just need to remind myself what makes me happy. Happiness isn’t achieved by  expecting to BE happy. There is so much good in my life and I ignore it, when I should be celebrating. So I intend to be happy.

Some of the things that make me happy..

• Reading a good book
• sewing- especially when the product comes out pretty decent
• writing- I can’t go a day without writing in something
• listening to music- the perfect way to get in a good mood is by listening to a happy song

“It is such a great day to be alive.”

So my second semester at UH has finally ended. I just finished my last final tonight. And I’m a little bit worried about it. >.<

Now all I have to finish is my story revision for creative writing and then I go home for the summer. Of course my summer isn’t going to exactly be an easy vacation. -.- I have to take summer classes. And of course I have to take none other than my arch nemesis….MATH!!!! As I’ve said countless of times, math’s sole purpose is to DESTROY me! >.<

No matter how hard I try, math will always be my enemy but after taking this math during the summer I will only have to take one more. Thank god. And then I will be done with math. The I have two sciences and a second language to worry about. -.- Great.

So besides taking classes over the summer, I intend to finally get my license! I swear this HAS to happen THIS summer. I’m tired of not having it, I’m already going to be 22 this is so pathetic. :/ Besides that I also plan on getting a job, I need one so when I come back to Houston for the fall I can have work experience. Because I have had no luck in getting  a job without any work experience. I want to work at Berripop or Smoothie King. Somewhere I really love. Borders or Barnes & Nobles would be a nice place to work as well so I need to get a job over the summer. I hope that happens. I also hope to hang out with friends this summer. I don’t really have a lot friends at UH so going home and spending time with old friends will be awesome. I want to have movie nights and just have a good time with people I love.

Summer classes don’t start until June I believe, so that means I have the rest of May to work on Mind-Speak inventory. Yup my sisters and I plan on opening an Etsy store. Hopefully it will be open by November. I have a lot of knitting and sewing to do over the summer. I mention a book I bought a month ago, and I can’t wait to get started. There is sooooooo much I want to do. But I need to pace myself otherwise I will just get overwhelmed.

So yeah this is where I am at the moment.  I know not extremely exciting. :/

Another entry of things I love….I actually keep meaning to vlog but finals are next week and this week has been packed full. >.< I feel like a ball of negative energy, I really hope I pass my cinema and sociology finals.

1. Sour Patch Jelly Beans! I just got a ton of Easter candy and this is a new favorite. I shouldn’t be eating it because its not good for my braces but they are sooooo yummy! :9

   

2. The wonderful Mika- He is soooooo adorable!! >.<

3. Fuji Polaroid Camera-Sooooo freaking cute, yet soooooooo freaking expensive. >.<

4. Orchids have to be my favorite flowers. I love drawing them and painting them using watercolor.

5. I love love this robot fabric- I want to make so many things with it. >.<

Can’t wait for the semester to finally be over!!!!

Another entry of Things that I love!!! I know it is rather exciting. XD

1. I just bought this book, and now I want to just stay in my room with my sewing machine and get started. It is the perfect instructional book, and it has gotten my creative juices flowing. (that saying kind of grosses me out) >.<

2. Wooden Drawing Hands- I want one sooooooooo bad. Not even just to use it as a drawing aid. But I just find them so cool that I want one in my room. Plus I think it would come in handy when taking product pics for Mind-Speaks.

3. Border Collie- <3 I saw this one at the park when we went to the Indie Book Festival and I couldn’t help but want one. Mija managed to catch him on cam such a cutie. (the pic above isn’t the same puppy on cam) lol

4. berripop !!!! I know I’ve mention this numerous times, but I seriously cannot get enough of this yogurt. It is so freaking delicious.

5. This Eco-friendly brand- I just bought a package of three notebooks from Target. So I gave one to each of my sisters. Look here.  I should try to be more Eco-friendly. >.<

That’s it for another week of Things I love…I hope I can keep it up. lol Listing things I love is harder than I thought it would be.

So I’ve been inspired to start updating my blog at least once every week. Starting with Things I love Thursdays. Many of the bloggers I admire, take part in this and I just think it is a wonderful way to update my blog more often.

1. Speaking of bloglovin’ I love it!!! Because of it I’ve found so many bloggers that inspire me every day. I get excited when my favorite bloggers have updated.

   

2. ~Adrien Brody <3<3 so adorable!!!

• Triplus Markers- They are my favorite writing utensils.

• Nail Stickers- I bought some lace ones and I fell in love with them, they are so easy to apply and they stay on for days. Next time I plan to get some color ones, they are so fun.

• Gulf Coast Literary Journal– I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS JOURNAL!  I plan to apply next fall for a job there, and I hope I get it. >.<

So there we have it,  5 things I Love. I plan do this every week, and the number of things might change. I just decided on 5 items this time because I didn’t put much thought into it. :/

I have started playing Pokemon White recently on my ds. And I must say I’m impressed.

I tried playing Pokemon pearl and gold but it just did not catch my fancy. My sister Mija and Jo Bro are already pretty far in the game. Also they both caught the legendary Pokemon Victini. The little bastard just won’t stay in the freaking Poke ball. So now I must level up so I can catch the cheeky bastard.

Cute little thing no? Well anyway, speaking of DS I’m sure you have seen the ads for the new 3DS. -.- I am NOT happy about this. I don’t even enjoy watching movies in 3D let alone playing games with that option. We went to Gamestop to see what the big deal was about and its nothing. Besides the teal color, I have no interest in the 3DS.(ok minus the game street fighter) I played it and it  was fun, as long as you keep the ridiculous 3D option off you will enjoy the game, however the buttons aren’t as comfortable as the DSLite. But that is just my opinion.

I feel like the DS XL JUST came out and they are already bringing out the 3Ds? WHY?!!! I think Nintendo is catching the apple bug and is just trying to keep up. My main concern is, does this mean that the old format games were put out will be obsolete? I keep getting mixed signals on Google, some say the game card won’t even fit in the older DS models. >.< Sooooooo annoying. Why can’t they just keep it the same. (DUH THEY WANT MORE MONEY) Which I don’t blame them. New model obviously means updated card designs as well. So older DS models won’t be able to play the new games made for 3DS. :/ SUCKS!!!!

Yes this entire entry was about video games and Pokemon. -.-  This is what a college student thinks about. Serious stuff. >.<  Next entry will actually be about serious stuff…I swear.

Spring break is over. >.< I really don’t want it to end!!!!

So we went home this weekend to drop off the brat…I mean my loving sister Kat. So when we arrived Saturday afternoon, we saw the presents mom had bought us. She bought each of us a suitcase and overnight bag. So freaking adorable, I can’t get over how cute it is. So we went back to JcPenny and she bought herself one as well to match us. Hers has a pink floral print on it and both Kat and I have dots in our favorite colors while Mija’s is blue with wavy lines. I always thought Mija was the matching freak, but she had to get it from someone. Which is totally not a bad thing, I like when things match as well. And when you have two sisters that enjoy most of the same things as you do; buying things in 3?s becomes habit. But of course they have to be different in some way, like color or pattern. lol

I’ve never actually owned luggage before now, and I’ve been wanting an overnight bag for the longest time. I love the shape of it and its similar to the Paperchase ones I’m so in love with. So I’ve been enjoying my time at home, so much so that I wish this up coming week was my spring break so I could stay home for a week. >.<

Already back in Houston and I miss my parents and Kat. Having Kat here for a week was really fun, it ended up feeling normal.. plus she would cook things for us and that is always great. I’m glad I get to come again this weekend. Of course that means going through a week of classes first. -.- Sigh suck it up I know.

It is Thursday morning. And my spring break is almost over.  I hate the feeling when something you like comes to an end.

I know I should make the most of things and enjoy it while it lasts but it is sort of hard to enjoy something when I know it is almost over. Its the same feeling I get when I’m on the last page of a really good book. I try to read really slowly just so I can have another day with it. I knew this week would go by in the blink of an eye, so this isn’t a surprise. Kat is here with us this week. We went to the Galleria on Saturday and Kat bought some outfits. She also bought me this great journal which I’m sure I’ve mentioned in a previous post. Its from the paperchase brand that I love so much. And the funny thing about it is that Mija noticed a flaw on the bottom right typewriter. A graphic screw up and now it bothers her. It makes me laugh, because I’m curious to know how this screw up occurred. They basically cut and copied a bit of the space bar and scooted it up to replace a missing key or something. But why the space bar? They could have just cut around another key and then used black as a shadow to cover around it or something. She also bought herself a small notebook from the same brand. Its so cute and it really suits her.  On Tuesday I took her on a small tour of my campus and then we had lunch with Mija and Jody at NRP. She really wanted to have the metro experience. We went on 4 buses that day which is the normal total of buses I take on a normal school day. She said it was fun, and it is fun when you have someone to ride it with you. But if you are going by yourself then its not so much as fun as …annoying. Especially when your bus decides to be late that day. But anyway, so after lunch Jody drove us to Berripop and Kat bought us some frozen yogurt. I am so addicted to this stuff and now so is Kat. Its been awhile since I’ve had a chance to enjoy some so that was a nice treat. Kat got watermelon with granola and kiwi and I chose strawberry yogurt with strawberries and cheesecake bits. :9 So yummy I’m craving it again.

So far the rest of the week we haven’t done anything besides sleep late and in. I have a 5 page essay I should be writing right now but I just want to lay down and be lazy. I wanted to go to F.I.T but I don’t think we will have time to go this week. -.- sucks. Also Saturday morning my dad is in a jeep show, he gets to show off Midnight to the community. I don’t remember the make I just know it is an older jeep that he bought and fixed up. Its his pride and joy, he has put a lot of time and money into fixing it up.  Ok so now I should start doing my homework or I’m gonna end up doing it last minute and its due on Tuesday.
