everybody wear YELLOW

I love yellow... as I have mentioned a few times. Well. Look what I found via THIS blog.

I spent hours looking online for this yelllow skirt and matching top I bought at Jacob only last week, and I failed. I refuse to take a picture of myself wearing it because I am not a photographer and it would end up looking ridiculous.

However. I did find some fabulous photos of other yellow clothes that I adore.

Yellow is just a happy color. And it's summer!

So. Everybody? Embrace yellow.

And make the world a little bit happier. =)

yellow.

Okay world. Story. 

Yellow used to be my least favorite color.

I never owned anything yellow.

I never bought anything yellow.

I never ate anything yellow.

Okay that last one is a lie. But you get my point.

 Up until about a year and five months ago.

Then I loved yellow. I bought a yellow sweater. I even wrote a blog post about it.

I fell in love with yellow roses.

I got a yellow rose for Valentine's day.

I bought a yellow cardigan.

I bought a yellow shirt.

I bought a yellow bow for my hair.

Do you know why? 

I didn't really notice when it all happened.

But I have it all figured out now.

It's because yellow is the epitome of happiness if you ask me.

And seventeen months ago, I found happiness. 

Even if it took me until more recently to figure that out.

Here is my happiness approximately seventeen months ago.

Yellow bow. Yellow shirt. Big smile. 

(The yellow headband on Karlee's head is mine too.)

Bliss. Right?

Well. Recently, a dear dear closest loving wonderful best friend of mine who knows my love of the color yellow reminded me of a song.

I used to like this song a lot..

Yellow, by Coldplay. 

Naturally, I am obsessed once again.

Even more this time.

oh, and the color yellow?

 It's still my favorite.

Do ya know?

 You know I love you so.

Guest-ish post?

Okay. Because of the fact that tomorrow is Valentine's Day and I am quite certain nothing fabulous will happen, I am going to post what I posted last year about Valentine's day. I had a blog last year that was not available for all public to see. I still have all my old posts, and I just went to read what I wrote. It brought a smile to my face...

V-Day

Valentines Day. These two words have often brought so much dread to the deepest part of my stomach. Let's just say my entire life, this has been a much awaited holiday with a complete let down each year. (Actually that is a big of an exaggeration. Last year wasn't entirely terrible, but it was spent with a boy that, well, we just never clicked.) I have learned to be fine with this sort of Valentine's Day. Really I've become accustomed to kinda forgetting it exists. I have kind of come to the point where I see February 14th on a calendar and perhaps just cover it in white-out. It has always been bad luck. This year, I planned on driving the entire day home from a lovely little trip with some friends, and then perhaps clean my room and go to sleep. Needless to say,  everything lately in the life of Jane has been going significantly differently. Life, which is usually plain has turned into.. special. My life, which had become so unfortunately predictable.., is.. well.. unpredictable. Everything fell into place on Valentine's Day!!.. Things that shouldn't have fallen into place.. and set me up for such a perfect night! First off, I received the most darling perfect gift ever... big smile! Anyone who has read my recent posts will know that I has fallen in love with the color yellow! .. and perhaps the boy who has introduced me to it? Much to my surprise.. for even having a valentine in the first place,.. and receiving a gift on Valentines day.. it was the perfect gift accompanied by the perfect night! (haha :) ) I received the most beautiful yellow rose ever. Yellow. It was perfect! And of course nothing beats a box of Lindor chocolates.. mmmmm... how completely satisfying. What a perfect boy that has come into my life an brought such a smile to my face. He is much too good to me... I hope someday  I can actually be that good to him. I am trying though.  The timing was incredible and terrible. ANYWAY...  I hope everyone gets to have a perfect Valentine's Day some day! I know my friends call Valentine's Day.. "Single Awareness Day". I've often agreed. No.. it really isn't. I suppose it could be, but its a choice. Valentine's Day is just..... yes, a very commercialized holiday.. but invented to remind everyone to .. remember to be happy... because its just that important!

 Well. I like to think my writing has improved since then.. but that is besides the point. I think I had a good point. Even if now I want to kick myself for saying everyone needs to just remember to be happy on Valentine's Day.. I guess it was sort of good to hear. Plus I am still lucky enough to be apart of that particular boy's life.. and that alone is enough to keep a smile on my face. I hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day, with or without a Valentine. 

simply a hoarder??

DON'T JUDGE ME.

Okay.. so I'm sure everyone has heard of this show.  If not.. here is a little description..

Each 60-minute episode of Hoarders is a fascinating look inside the lives of two different people whose inability to part with their belongings is so out of control that they are on the verge of a personal crisis.


I've watched it and every single time I think to myself, these people are crazy. Today, as I continued the epic journey of packing up my room, I realized maybe I'm crazy too. This is super embarrassing.. but here is a list of some of the ridiculous things I found that I simply haven't been able to part with.. some are quite obvious as to why I kept them, but some not so much. Maybe you'll read some and know exactly why I kept them..

a letter from "Great Fetcher"

a mini metal horse shoe

Okay. I have to stop. You get the picture? Yes. I save everything!! Okay, so maybe I'm not on the verge of a personal crisis, but this packing business has been a way bigger deal then I anticipated. My wonderful mother has been helping me pack.. and helping me throw away useless junk for hours the past couple days. She just sits there and laughs. I haven't realized how ridiculously sentimental I am. I think I always had a bit of an idea.. but this has been very eye opening. Please don't report me to Hoarders, as the situation is now completely under control.

Instead of freaking out about why the heck I save this kind of stuff, I realized I truly am just nostalgic. Sentimental. I honestly enjoy the tiny little things that were able to bring a smile to my face. You know what? They still make me smile. As long as I can occasionally dejunk like I have been, I think I can stray from a personal crisis. :)

There are more than a few thoughts that creep into my mind when I see this picture

but I'd rather keep them to myself.
