Any change comes as a relief.

Listening to: Ben Harper - Diamonds on the Inside
Feeling: Relaxed

So tonight after some post-holiday shopping [candles, a gorgeous skirt and chic ornaments for my tree- for next year!] and eating a delicious turkey dinner cooked by my wonderful madre, I watched an old favorite with my parents, "Hook." After that, I caught the very tail-end of "Factory Girl" with Sienna Miller. Most of the reviews I've read say the movie is extremely dull, but then again, when have I ever listened to reviews? I'd like to watch the whole thing at some point. Edie Sedgewick's story is heartbreaking.
I also found "Suicide Club" online, which is quite exciting since I've wanted to finish that movie since I first saw the beginning of it three-something years ago. Something to share with my Purchase loves, I know they'll appreciate the gore.
My appointment today was ridiculous, I almost passed out. I wish I didn't get so freaked out, but I can't seem to help it. I will be so glad when this week is over.
I miss Purchase already, but I know there's still a few things I need to get in order before going back. It'll be nice when my head isn't such a blur from these drugs they gave me for the pain. I suppose they do help though, since I probably should be bored beyond belief. But I guess I just find this time, this break, absolutely necessary.

Close your eyes and dream.

Listening to: Norah Jones - Rosie's Lullaby
Feeling: Sleepy

I spent the entire day sleeping and cuddling with the puppies. My whole head feels swollen and I'm semi-permanently dizzy. However, I woke up to my mother telling me that her and my dad got me a gift. She then placed this guy in my arms:I'm not a huge fan of agriculture or farming, but come on- who could resist a giant stuffed cow? It's head is bigger than my own and is so soft and floppy. He just needs a name now, any suggestions? My parents have been so sweet to me this whole time, especially my mom who knows that I love to be babied when I'm sick. She's cooked me special foods, bought me extra-soft tissues and even got me a humidifier. I'm so lucky I have them to take care of me.

I'm in the process of watching "The Spiderwick Chronicles" online, though once again, it's taking forever to load. I watched "1408" with the rents earlier. It sucked. Not even John Cusack could save that movie.
Stumbled across some Jim Sturgess pictures. Ugh, he makes my teeth hurt. So good-looking.

A re-arranger of the proverbial bookshelf.

Listening to: Ingrid Michaelson - Die Alone
Feeling: Tired

Dear Grandma, thanks for the vintage bling.

Dear Ulta Sales Associate, thanks for the free Smashbox eyeshadow for accidently making me wait.

So I don't feel like re-living all of the details of my vacation down to Pennsylvania, mostly because I'm exhausted, but overall it was a good trip. I'm glad to be home though, it was kind of strange being there after being away for so long. Highlights definitely include: spending quality time with Rolin, awesome home-cooked food, snuggling with Misha, unexpected gifts, and seeing "Marley & Me" with Sheri. It was great seeing her and Mitch, I've missed them. That cousin of mine is becoming quite the gorgeous girl. I love how the little tyke that used to follow me around is the one that turned me onto Smashbox's Jet-Set Waterproof Eyeliner, which I just got today of course.
This week I'm looking forward to hanging out with a few different friends, cleaning my room and just relaxing. I want to get rid of some stuff and I've been in need of some quality "me" time. I might even take a bubble bath. With candles & scented oils! Such a girl.
