Elastic Waistbands and Gratitude

Through the years, I have come to find that Thanksgiving dinners take over eighteen hours to prepare and are consumed in twelve minutes. I have also deduced that it has been an unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes, is a delectable necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is uneatable without it. I am quite excited to eat nummy food that is Thanksgiving Dinner!! I am grateful for what I have been given.

I am a synesthete.

Synesthesia (also spelled synæsthesia or synaesthesia, plural synesthesiae or synaesthesiae)—from the Ancient Greekσύν (syn), "together," and αἴσθησις (aisthēsis), "sensation"—is a neurologically-based condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.

I see numbers, letters, days of the week and month in colors. I also see people in color. Now I don't mean black and white as in skin color. I mean actual color. My mom is orange. My dad is black. My brother is yellow. My grandma is royal purple. My best friend Whitney is violet. My friend Sammie is light green. My friend Chase is brown. My grandpa is hunter green. I could go on about the different people in my life and their unique color. But there is one person in my life that seems to have multiple colors. My Nick. He isn't just one specific color. He has so many. When I see him or picture him in my head a whole slew of colors splash across my mind. I am not exactly sure what that means but if I were to guess.....I think he just might be my other half. He is the one that colors my life.

This is the closest thing I can show you of what I see when I think of him. 

Kate Nash

I attended my very first live concert last week! the flashing lights, musky air, and the skeleton dress that Kate wore was awesome! If you haven't heard of Kate Nash stop everything right now and listen to her tunes! Her songs are stories. They are something you can connect with in a very personal way. I can see myself in her songs. I like that. The electricity between her and the crowd was amazing. My boyfriend, who is an avid music listener came along with me. Just having him by my side with his arms wrapped around me made the night even more special.

Me being a creepy creeper

Where there is no imagination there is no horror. ~Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.

I took these shots a few weeks ago in the barren wasteland that is the Great Salt Lake. Minus being surrounded by the smell of brine, the shoot was so fantastic and my two cute friends were absolute perfection. The real kicker..... I was the makeup artist. I can't even put on my own makeup without messing up so I was really pleased with the outcome of their makeup and hair. Happy Halloween!!

Somewhere In Time

I just bought this romantic little flick for $7.50 at the drugstore and la la love it! The love he has for her in this movie is overwhelming. Im such a sap. And the quote towards the end of the film just stuck out to me and I had to post it.

"I want to be everything to you"

Hazy Dreaming

I had a dream about my dad. I haven't have a dream about him in years. I have only had 2 other incidences where I remember dreaming about him. I have walked around in a daze today trying to figure out this dream and the little details it had within it. I have been missing him more than usual lately. Im not sure why. Some days are better than others. Time really doesn't heal wounds in my opinion. Time numbs our wounds. I miss him.
