Driven

I am not prepared for a full outfit post today.
These are some snap shots I took real quick of my new Star Wars shirt.
I mixed it with a very noisy sweater, and it didn't match one bit..
and I liked that.

I am not sure if I have all that much to say today..
other than I haven't felt quite like myself lately.
It's probably the lack of sleep, 
and the stress and anxiety or trying to get a new home.
Hello darling house with your cute mailbox, and your porch bench.
Your living room is three times the size of my current living room.
So is your kitchen.
And your backyard.
And my dear house, you happen to have a tiny room in the back..
that slants downward ever so..
with yellow walls, and a big window,
It calls me.
"Rachael! Set up your studio here! You won't have to wheel your table over anymore!"
and all I can say is...
"I'm trying!"
And did I mention the tree out front and the trees outback?
Oh, and there is a real bathtub guys.
No more tiny shower.
I love you house.
Let's move in together.


I turned in the application yesterday, and now I'm waiting to hear back.
I'm so bad at waiting.

Did I ever tell you what happened when I got Wicket?

I saw this photo online, I knew he had to be mine.
I called the owners within 2 seconds.
He said a lot of people wanted him, but he would save him for me.
Then I called everyday for a few weeks to make sure he didn't forget.
The poor owner had to attend a funeral, and was very busy...
But I seriously couldn't help but call and remind him that
I wanted the fuzzy puppy with the white tipped tail.

I am a very driven person... when I find something I want,
I do everything in my power to get it.

  2. That is a sweet house! I'm crossing my fingers for you! I saw a sweet house that I loved in Savannah, Georgia. I am presently trying to renovate my little apartment I own to then rent it out and the permanently move to the south. My kids need their own room and I need a place of my own as well. A yard would be nice. I am tired of city life here. Just like you gave that little dog a home, I know you will make that place your home too. Driven indeed.

    1. If I get this house, I will take SO MANY PICTURES! I wanted to take some when we went on the tour, but I didn't want to get my hopes up too much. I don't think you are a house creeper at all! I love to see people's homes too. It's interesting!

    1. I have been told that before! When my hair was dark people would tell me I looked like Alice from the twilight movies. I think I once heard that one 3 times in one day!

  14. It always seemed tricky to choose a pet off the internet, but I would've done the same one with this adorable little creature!

    Also love the Star Wars shirt! I have one of Yoda and an Ewok having a Gremlin baby:)

    And I hope you can get that house!
