Unusuality

Today, in keeping with my newly developed obsession for Pinterest, I stumbled across a picture of a beautiful kitchen.

Perhaps it's just me, but I feel like blue is a rarely used color in kitchen schemes, and I'm not sure why.

It is absolutely beautiful. Maybe it's this specific shade of grey-blue that i've fallen in love with, maybe it's the fact that i'm a big fan of white cabinets and light granite counters. Or maybe it's just...everything. I have kitchen envy. WAAAAHHHHH. (that's me crying like a baby because this is not my kitchen.)

I think this picture originated from a magazine, but I'm not entirely sure. The only reason I say that is because I just noticed those printed words over yonder that describe what the homeowner was able to do. (Dear Homeowner: I am jealous of your kitchen. Sincerely, TC)

Shall we talk about my apartment for a moment? Yes, let's. I currently have no hot water, which means I can't brush my teeth or take a shower before going to work.

In the apartment above mine, the super is doing some sort of repair/renovation. At about 8:30 this morning, HA and JP knocked on my bedroom door to inform me that as a result of this atrociously loud reno/repair, our bathroom ceiling fell down. FELL DOWN. The super came to take a look, decided it wasn't so bad, and went back upstairs to continue working. To be fair, the ceiling did only fall in a small area, and He said he'd come back tomorrow morning to clean up any mess...but seriously, give me a break.

You truly get what you pay for. Yes, our rent is dirt cheap, but no, they did not skimp on the 'dirt'.

One of these days (10 year plan, people!) I'll have that gorgeous blue kitchen...

Are YOU Pinterested?

Happy Summer.

Here's a list of things that have happened since I last wrote. They are in no specific order aside from the order in which they pop into my head:

1. I cut my hair. For the past 13ish years, I've had long hair down to the middle of my back. I've had different versions of bangs and layers, but the length was always, for the most part, the same. Last week, i went into a hair salon and had it chopped off. It now sits right above my shoulders and grazes the bottom of my neck. I also got it highlighted, but that's less of a drastic change than the haircut.

2. I turned 25. I'm not going to get into this one, because to do that would lead to a diatribe of the pro's and con's of being old. (I know, I'm not old. But in my defense, this is oldest I've ever been, so CUT ME SOME SLACK.)

3. I sprained my ankle. I have absolutely no clue how it happened, but if you've ever injured an ankle/foot/leg and you are an athlete/athletic/enjoy running, you feel my pain on this one, literally and figuratively. I haven't gone running in over 3 weeks and it is not fun to be so stagnant. It makes me feel gross.

4. The last Harry Potter movie came out. I laughed, I cried, Voldemort died. Let's leave it at that.

5. BF and I celebrated our 6 month anniversary. We went out for an impromptu dinner (we didn't realize until half way through the day that it was our anniversary) and the hostess took the WORST photo of us and put it in a little paper frame. It was actually a very sweet gesture, aside from us looking sweaty and, honestly, pretty shitty. The food was great though!

6. It is summer and I am tan. Mission accomplished.

7. Ah yes, getting to the title of this post. MM (my friend who lives in L.A. because she's too cool for the rest of us) introduced me to the website Pinterest. It is a virtual pin board "that let's you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web." See something, pin it, choose which of your categorized boards you want it in, give it a title, and boom. you've pinned something you love to your virtual pinboard. I am OBSESSED with this website, so much so that I was excited to get home from work yesterday to pin things. You can also "re-pin" other members' pins. See something of theirs you like, re-pin it onto your board. It's really a genius idea.

Check out my Pinterest page. If you like it, make your own, and we can be pinnies. (That's the name I made up for my pinterest friends. I only have one friend right now...maybe it's because people sense that I want to refer to them as pinnies...)

This deliciously glittery cupcake is one of the pictures I have pinned in my 'food is food' category.

I've also got a 'Randoms' category. This little pink and gold pony came from that one.

He sort of looks like a pink eraser dipped in gold paint, no?

The more time I spend looking around on Pinterest, the more awesome websites and blogs I stumble upon. It really is worth checking out.


8. Um...I think I'll wrap it up for now. Until next time...
