Etsy Fixation

I've done it again. Etsy has a hold on me and it refuses to loosen up. I must say i don't try to hard to escape it's grasp! ;)

A few days ago i made this purchase.

I have been on a serious search for a nice handbag for sometime.

All the ones i love end up being $300 + , which is not an amount i can afford at the moment.

Enter vintage on Etsy!!!!

The color is gorgeous and i love how the leather is so shiny.

Im really excited about this bag, i can't wait for it to arrive*

Happy Napping

This afternoon while i was supposed to be working on a paper, i wandered into the living room. What i found was a beautiful thing.... a whole bunch of my kitties were spread out around the room, each soaking up their own little ray of sunshine which was bursting in through the back window. I could not resist giving gizmo a little cuddle; he was all curled up tightly in a little warm ball on the back of the couch. I rested my head on him and became very sleepy. I then felt some pressure on my back.... My mom found this too cute a moment to pass up. I'm glad she captured my happy little cat nap :)

So right now it's almost 11 p.m and i haven't even started this paper. I'm thinking i may just not do it, I'll probably still end up with a B in the class, an A would be ideal but i don't think i have the energy for it right now. Maybe i can hand in this picture to explain why i am paperless tomorrow afternoon??

* yes thats a Jerry Garcia doll in the background, my dad is a BIG fan

** that's "mommy cat" on my back.... if she see you on the couch she makes it her job to somehow cuddle up with you.... even if it is a rather strange position

Believe

I think everyone knows it's in their best interest to think positively, a nice little reminder can't hurt though.

I really believe that being hopeful & optimistic almost always leads to a positive outcome. John Cusack's character ( Lloyd I think?) in the movie "Say Anything", is often quoted as saying something along the lines of... "If you start out depressed, everything turns out a pleasant surprise." ummm maybe, BUT if you start out depressed you stay depressed! If you feel like your in a funk you need to get moving and think happy! Seriously, sad thoughts only bring more sad thoughts.

Of course these are only the opinions of lil ol Miss Fina, but I'd say I have a little bit of experience w/ the subject. :)

Tasty Tapas

Last night i had the absolute most yummiest dinner I've had in a long time! My friend Courtney & I went into the city to see an old friend of her's sing some lovely songs and play his guitar @ Arlene's Basement on Stanton St. His name is Bobby Doran, he's quite good if ya wanna check him out.(http://www.myspace.com/bobbydoran )Court's sister suggested we eat at a place called Stanton Social. It was a super cozy little candlelit place & they served tapas style dishes. Everything we ordered was DELISH!! Seriously i am NOT OVEREXAGERATING!

**We had cornmeal corndog crabcakes, french onion soup dumplings, sweet potato butternut squash raviolis, and some tasty meatballs.**

Yum YUM & Yum!
