I Just Want To Make Love To You

It's late and I've been reading about Nihilism for far longer than I had intended.
If you were in Baltimore today then you know what a drag this day was.
I can't believe how strange I am to myself sometimes. How did I just morph into this other person for the weekend?

I was youtubing some Etta James and found this girl's channel that's all lip syncing. Here's "I Just Want To Make Love To You":

Thanksgiving/AfterThanksgiving.

I'm back, I'm back! It's been a minute since I've updated what with Thanksgiving and family being in town. Today my Mom, Dave, Cait, and I all went out to lunch/ house hunting in Fells Point. It was a lovely afternoon! I got a small bouqet of flowers at Cross Street, and tried some oysters from the bay which I was a bit skeptical of at first but turned out to be pretty great.

1. Kale, Acacia, and a Peacock feather. :)

2. Saturday after Thanksgiving Oyster Feast in Fells Point. I'm not usually a big fan, but these weren't super slimey or salty. Delish!

3. Making dressing and almond/thyme green beans for Thanksgiving. This was a stressful experience as I started a bit late and my kitchen is a bit too cozy to multitask in. It turned out well, though.

My parents are signing a contract on a place as we speak. Beautiful view and a couple fireplaces. I can't wait for the first snow!

Etsy.com/Scaring my doctor.

1. What I wore today. I can't get enough of the flannel and tights these days. My mom doesn't get it. Neither does my doctor.

2. Poor roomie is sick and laying on the floor because we still haven't gotten a couch. :(

3. New obsession: Etsy.com. Thank goodness I still have to get my new debit card otherwise I'd be in big trouble. Oh god, this teapot is so cute, I can't stand it. It's a wopping $110 so it will never be mine but my, my what a beauty.

4. So many beautiful vintage gowns. It's been a while since I purchased a new one. My prom dress (which, mind you, is actually kind of disappointing in retrospect) was vintage and I used to be a pretty big fool for good vintage finds. I know where I'll be going next time...

PS/LadyGaga

I don't care what anyone says, Lady Gaga is a nutcase/genius and I love her.

ThanksgivingDinnerPrep/ChristmasWishList

1. So today Mama and I set off to shop for all the ingredients for Thanksgiving dinner and of course made a couple pit stops. One to Noodles Corner and one to Sephora/Nordstrom. Hehe. I got some sassy red lipstick, and decided I'm still pissed that someone stole my Hunter boots in Chicago, so am "wishing" for a new pair this Christmas. (Isn't this typical, by the way- my sister posts a blog of all the things she's thankful for...I'm the number one person ;)... and I post a blog of things I want. It's too good.)

2. I'm making the green beans and stuffing for Thanksgiving, which I suppose may become a tradition since I did the same thing last year, only with a different recipe for the green beans. This almond/thyme recipe I have this year is very fitting for the holidays (It smells like Christmas, I'm telling you)- and really simple to make. If you're interested/still not sure what you'll be making, here is the recipe. Aside from all the butter, it's actually not too unhealthy and if you let it, may take away some of the guilt while you're gorging the pecan pie.

3. I'm also thinking I'm gonna enroll myself in some hiphop classes at artofmotiondance so I can feel more like beyonce.

Lampshades/000.

(via poppytalk)

Neatest lampshades I've ever seen.

Hair/Sleeping is serious.

I need to do something to relinquish the boredom of...everything. so i'm chopping all my hair off this week.
And sleep IS serious, as I've gone almost 40 hours straight without it this week and ended up doing and seeing some pretty unorthodox things.
