I don't mean regular, grown up jewelry with real silver or gold and gems and whatever. I mean silly plastic jewels and rings with gigantic parts on them. Feather headbands and plastic barrettes. Hats, too, recently. I can now say that I own more than one hat! And scarves! With the impending Winter I've recently gotten into wearing scarves. However, I've also become really pretty poor lately (probably partially due to the accessories obsession, to be completely honest) so I thought I'd try my hand at some DIY projects now that I've completed my latest huge one (wedding aside...we're pretending that doesn't exist for now.)

It's my last (real) semester, and even though I'm only taking 9 credit hours it's been pretty hardcore. As I type, there are two projects I shouold be working on--one, a ten-to-fifteen-pagepaper on a department store I'd never even heard of before having it assigned to me, and the other a location analysis for the boutique of a lace designer who is impossible to get in touch with....

I even had a video set up to share! I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to first get it off of the recorder (it's not like I'd never done videos before! I just couldn't remember how all of a sudden) and thennnn all this time trying to upload it directly from Youtube with the program it came with, and thennnn when that didn't work I finally figured out where on my computer went and uploaded it manually by myself. Then there's this waiting period where it has to be put live, which is why I'm talking about it today instead of yesterday. http://dawnvivant.com/index.php?article=Happy_Mardi_Gras Wed, 25 Feb 2009 02:19:19 -0600 http://dawnvivant.com/index.php?article=Happy_Mardi_Gras http://dawnvivant.com/index.php?article=Winter_in_Louisiana_is_over_(I_hope) Wed, 11 Feb 2009 02:06:32 -0600 http://dawnvivant.com/index.php?article=Winter_in_Louisiana_is_over_(I_hope) http://dawnvivant.com/index.php?article=Style_role_model My entry today was going to be my top 5 list of style role models, but in the search for good pictures of each of them, I got totally sidetracked and ended up just looking at pictures of one.

The fact that random strangers think that I will happily engage in racist conversations and laugh at their racist jokes. I know this sounds like it would be an uncommon occurrence, but I swear it happens rather often.

So I'm going to keep this post as short as possible so I can get to resizin' for that one.

This makes it really awkward when they announce that they are pregnant.

It was a nice relaxing day for me. We didn't do a huge thing, just a small family event. Like I said on Thanksgiving, I only have two family members living here, and Brett has..none, so we usually do things low-key. For Thanksgiving a family friend spent the day with us, but she wasn't feeling well for Christmas and was unable to join us this time. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our Christmas hamburgers, opened gifts, and got to see my dad's side of the family on Yahoo Messenger's video chat. My sister and I drank entirely too much wine, I think, and giggled incessantly at everything...

Well, yeah, I do. Because I accidentally missed the "4" in "34" when trying to switch to CNN, and it landed on "3" instead and I didn't feel like changing it. Anyway, Maury is pretty good for when you feel like watching something that requires no intelligence, and when you want to know "Who IS this baby's father?" A far cry from the CNN I was really intending to watch! Anyway, my shopping is done today!...
