Oklahoma Weather.

Tornado sirens went off about 1 1/2 hours ago, so I was down in the boy's dorm basement. The library doesn't have a shelter- dumb. I think the storm's past the city now. Weather in Oklahoma is pretty intense. This photo was actually taken outside of my hometown in 2007.

Color Perfection.

Just saw this on Design Sponge and am already obsessed. This bedding is the most fantastic thing. I'm really into yellow and grey right now. Perfect combo.

And these plates on the wall are so colorful and happy, perfectly complementing the glassware on the table.

Bummer.

Today was a bummer day. First off, Leslie's tea party was canceled. No big deal really, just a little disappointed. But then the big one. Basically it looks as though my trip for Indonesia this summer is not going to happen. My uncle lives there and has brought me, my sister, cousins, and grandma there for the past 2 summers and we were planning to get to go this year to Hong Kong, too. but now it doesn't look like that's going to happen b/c of conflicts of time and more important things. I'm really bummed b/c this was one of 2 things I was looking forward to this summer. This was my big trip. to get away from home. Which I am NOT looking forward to being at. But more on that later. It's study time now. Til Tomorrow!

Komodo Island. We rode in this boat for 3 days! It was the funnest thing I've ever done in my life.

Happy Mother's Day!

Love You Mom!

Iron Man 2.

Last night, I watched Iron Man 2... and it was so GREAT! It was so much fun. I was a little disappointed that Rhoddey switched from Terrance Howard to Don Cheadle, but he played the part well. There was less of a revelation from Tony Stark as the last one, but the kick-ass fights, even more crazy stunts, and excellent graphics and filming made up for the lack of personalness. Once again Robert Downey, Jr. amazed me with his perfect portrayal of Stark. I'd argue that Iron Man is one of the best superhero movies to date and the second was a worthy follow-up. Personal rating A-

Stunning Photography.

Recycled Material Mini Wallets.

I think I need a mini wallet to carry some cash and cards in when I'm on the run. Here are some cute etsy finds. I'm really loving the ones using recycled materials.

recycled boat sail! (Reiter8 is giving away a bag on Cup of Jo)

recycled Map and recycled bluemap atlas. (both Marmalime)

Mom Day Cards.

So last night I made the mothers in my life cards for mother's day! I think they turned out pretty nicely for being handmade. I know it's cliche, but since I'm not home I can't do anything for my momma, and since I'm a poor college student I can't send anything to my momma. so this will have to do. Besides, I was just in a creative mood.
