Day 14

eye(s).

i had to try to keep my eye wide open for this, not easy when you're long-arming.  my sisters think i'm a picture freak.  i kind of am.  oh, and don't mind my unruly brow.  that's what being on the road does to ya.

Day 13

yourself with 13 things. 

i wanted to use my many travel souvenirs (i like to think of them as my "little people") but they've been packed up in boxes for the past couple months as my living situation is semi-transient and temporary.  instead, i used stuff that's in my purse. 

- glasses - the thought of me driving without my glasses is scary
- iphone
- chapstick
- antibacterial gel
- my beloved Chompy
- wallet
- sunglasses
- benedryl and itch cream - for my freakish allergies to bugs + my tendency to like to lay down in soft looking grass
- my favorite ring that i might, just in case, want to wear
- a heart from Build-a-Bear that i thought was so cute i decided i'd carry it with me at all times
- Greek mythology and history playing cards in case we got bored on our trip
- lotion

the "with yourself" part is my legs.  i took this picture in the car and it would have been ridiculous to attempt to get my face in there.

Day 12

sunset.  oh sunset, the loveliest and most elusive of all things to capture in its true form.

i love love love sunsets.  they just take my breath away.  i love when the sun rays cause the clouds look candy colored, makes me wish i could reach way waaay up and lick them.  snapped this in the car in between Nashville and Memphis.  was fortunate to find an open field with a good view, most of the highway was completely surrounded by trees.  lots of trees.  beautiful and scary.

Days 12-16

i'm clearly very behind.  spent a long weekend roadtripping across the midwest/south and had very little access to the internet.. i did remember to take pictures though!  i'll retroactively post these days and hopefully will be caught up soon. 

p.s. i like how blogspot lets me choose the date stamp on each post, so i'm going to pretend i'm posting them on the day they should've appeared.

Day 11

something blue.

i've been waiting for this one.... i am currently obsessed with shiny dark blue as evidenced by my toenails, phone case, and purse.  i've been wearing that color on my toes or fingers for the past 6 months or so, which is an eternity in nail polish time.  i don't care if i look too matchy-matchy.  i just loves it.

Day 10

childhood memory.

this is my baby blanket.  my auntie sewed it for me when i was born.  i actually have pictures of baby me laying on this blanket in a crib.  somehow, miraculously, i still have it.  maybe because it's so damned comfortable and it's big enough that it can cover my current adultish body.  it was my dad's favorite couch blanket as i was growing up, and now it's mine.  i know it looks kind of like a conferate flag, but it was made with love.

Day 9

someone(s) i love.

i couldn't pick just one someone, although one gets quite a prominent position.  the people around me are so important, i couldn't leave them out.  i have a collage in my room to remind me of all the people i don't get to see everyday.
