hago lo que quiero hacer

life is so much more enjoyable when we act like children...laugh if you will, but it is true. for example, i had to go to the doctor because i have been sick for a week...now normally when they tell me i have to use the nebulizer i think "oh great," however, in an effort to smile about everything i grinned and bore it until i realized that real fun could actually be had, as i thought to myself that nebulizers are kind of like peace pipes. with this realization in the forefront of my mind i proceeded to try and make smoke rings with the steam. while my efforts for the perfect ring shape were fruitless i did make some pretty cool designs and passed the twenty minutes alone in the scary doctor's office quite "peaceably"...i love being a kid (oh and while waiting i watched pollyanna, and then later willow)....kids have fun

pretty much son iguales

all you need is love.....

truth: all girls think about their wedding. the ones that say they don't are lying to save face. it is a magical day with a magical outcome...i mean what's not to love. 

i love weddings. i have decided that my life's purpose is to plan other people's weddings seeing as how my wedding is no where in the foreseeable future. (i will have a future blog on my other career goal...teaching art classes with merry to special needs adults)...

my roommate jessi is getting married and i get to help with the details. today this is what i did.

her hair and make-up

the d.r.

mommy m and baby v

i'm so jealous for so many reasons.....they look perfect together

i never posted anything about visiting madie, drew and valentine. so here we go.

i should just say that it was one of my favorite times ever. valentine is so pretty. i think the entire weekend i repeated the sentence "she's just so pretty" mil veces (1000 times)....and that might be an understatement. baby v is not only "so pretty" but has the cutest nose and cutest ear....i'm not weird i am just stating the facts about my awesome niece. madison is the ideal mom, when you see valentine lay on her its a perfect fit. v loves her mom and dad. i am excited to see that she is getting bigger. when i was there she did not fit into any dresses...fear not, last night madison told me that she was wearing a dress. yay...this is great news for christmas because now we can have a baby fashion show...i mean umm...wait no...that is exactly what i mean. 

when she sleeps she does the most tender things with her hands

i love her

when i wasn't cuddling with valentine i was being 

typical kirby and made this for v's room

Happy Alliween

by posting this picture i am fully admitting to my dorkiness

the flapper and the nerd

so for halloween slash allison's birthday i did a few things that i normally don't do... and i should admit that i had a lot of fun being not me-ish...maybe i should be a flower child more often. i started the day going to math. not too big of a deal, but i actually listened and took notes...downside, my brain hurt, but on the brightside i figured out that my math jargon is, well, pretty much amazing, and so i might be able to pretend that i know what i am doing. then i came home and serenaded allison with carly at her door that carly and i decorated, which was awesome for allison i am sure...i mean i do have a good voice...(sike). whoa, i just put the word sike on my blog. awesome. then i had carly curl my hair, and i looked more like shirley temple than a hippie, but went to the library (i know right, not like me either, although i have been much better about this) anyways...and a swim meet (i normally don't leave the house looking loopy i promise). this was also a plus because at the swim meet my hair fell out a little and ended up looking pretty awesome. after that it was birthday dinner time...i think our waiter hated us...nope, wait, him did hate us. nonetheless applebee's plus dumb waiter did not thwart our alliween spirits and we went home to get dressed up. i made a flower wreath (i wondered if i was taking it too far, but i do what i want) and then got dressed. i thought i looked like a hippie but someone told me he thought i was a greek goddess....sooooo i hope that his case was a singular one..unless he meant i looked like aphrodite then i would be totally fine with it and call it a compliment. this is getting boring so i will wrap it up. we then went to a dance party and yes, yes i actually danced, even though i detest dancing i did it. we danced in a very crowed stairwell, in the rain and then at my friend andrew/drew/sturgess's apartment. i felt like alliween was a success, mostly because i got to wear a wreath. and make a wreath.
