new years resolutions

okay so i feel bad for constantly neglecting my blog. i created this with intentions of using this as a diary to share my thoughts and interests. however, it's a new year and i've already started to think up some resolutions and i promise to try and write on this a little more often.

so far this is what i have:
1. MORE EXERCISE! i need to be toned and fabulous all the time, not just summer
2. blog more
3. keep in touch with my friends from home
4. visit my best friends at college
5. STOP COMPLAINING!
6. be more thankful for EVERYTHING
since i'll be without my laptop tomorrow, good riddance 2010! it's been a great year; i did a lot of traveling, and fell in love, but i lost a great pal and grandpa. all the experiences this year has made me a lot stronger and more confident. i hope 2011 has some good things to offer. see you all on the flipside. happy new year!

November 30

Dear Gramps,

Happy Birthday! Wow, 93 years old. It's still hard to believe you aren't here right now snacking on mandarins. I still am in mourning and I miss you everyday. I've been calling Grams every night and she misses you terribly. It was so hard to see you leave us, but I know you are in a much better place, free of illness, pain, and suffering. You are in heaven walking, talking, and looking down on all of us; watching over us and the ranch. Your funeral service is on Saturday and I am speaking. I hope you like all the words I will say and the closure I need so I can not be sad anymore, but happy with all the time I have spent with you. Thanks for all the great memories that fill my childhood. It still makes me smile to think about tractor rides and swimming, spending the night with you and Grams and telling you jokes. I will always love you.
Love always, Krista

obsessed.

need these shoes

the end.

okay okay

soooo it's been WAY too long and im soooo sorry. i have been super busy and i am dearly sorry for neglecting you dear blog. i had a bday while i was in absence and it was soo fun! i have a sore back, so much for getting older right?! i've been working sooo much and im currently typing from my kitchen....im making myself a cheeseburger for dinner =^.^= oh so i watched the trailer for the tourist with angelina jolie and johnny depp today and i kinda sorta really wanna see it =)

denimz

so my inspiration for today. finally broke out my denim button-down, that i had my heart set on wearing with shorts and a boxy cardigan, but alas, it's 58 degress outside. i think i love hinduism, at least it's incredibly intriguing so far....i find myself to be enjoying sitting in a hallway munching on my turkey sandwich and grapes by myself, kinda loser-ish right? josh says i'm depressing. NOT! it would be depressing if i was blogging from the ladies room.

eggs & salsa

i feel like i should apologize to my blog for often abandoning, however, it's not like people read this right?! i mean i have no idea, so for all of you, i'm sorry. haha
i watched julie and julia yeasterday via netflix and i throughly enjoyed the film and everyone should watch it...well every woman at least. i cooked my all time favorite meal last night, chicken enchilada, and i'm soooo proud of myself. i wish my mom was here to experience the deliciousness of my self satisfaction. the sunny san francisco weather has officially left :( it's all grey and foggy out right now and i have to bundle up today. well ill blog more later. i gotta go crash a class. xoxo

jgl makes me drool

it's my first day of school tomorrow and i'm soooo excited! i still don't know what to wear yet, but it's about to be 85 degrees in the city tomorrow, so im gonna keep the summer clothes out until the end of the week, or so. i finally got my hands on a delicious pineapple (only what i have been craving for weeks) and i finally saw inception with my lover. such a great day and i'm sooooo full. =) ilovemylife

im so down for simplicity

long time no see. but i am in a new location, opening a new page

today was just one of those days that i wanted to sit down and bury my face into my palms and let tears slowly fall. not one of those sobbing preteens you see when their 2 week boyfriend breaks their oh so fragile heart, but just a calm flow of tears, to cleanse and reflect on all my frustrations/worries/struggles/internal loneliness. all these things sound so ridiculous since i have so much good in my life and in mind; all of this very true. i am a blessed person who honestly is spoiled and i pretty much get everything i want and i work hard for everything i have. for instance, every piece of clothing i am wearing today has come out of my little pockets, for i still wear children's jeans, and those pockets are pretty small. i'm currently up all alone in my apartment, thinking. i just want to write everything i'm feeling and send it in an email to a higher power for some sort of advice? i don't even know what i want. just i guess an open ear and mind.
but for now, i'll just recap on what i've been up to since my hiatus. i have moved into an apartment in san francisco, with two of my friends, both incredible spirits. my room is all decorated to exactly how i wished and it will probably be ever changing, just as my tastes and inspirations. i have been working pretty much every day since i've been here and me keeping busy has been good, but much a cause for my stresses and my current peculiar depression. i would so love a different job, but in this economy and in this great city, i'd rather not take any chances. at least not until i can land a job i know i'll keep and want to keep for a long time. i can't help but to constantly think that i need my career to start now, so i can fully enjoy everything about the broadcasting industry and travel all i can while i'm young and be daring, and outspoken and inspirational before i'm forced with the facts of getting married and settling down. i can't settle down until my adventurous spirit wants to take a break from high adventure. so many emotions. did i mention i'm in a perfect relationship? according to tammy, i'm set for life. and my life will and is perfect. her life must really suck if mine is perfect.
i've begun to read eat, pray, love and i find it quite intriguing and inspirational thus far. i cannot wait to see the movie with jordana and sit in awe of julia roberts and how much she rocks! if anyone made a movie about me, julia roberts would play me; too bad she is WAY older than me and this would never happen. hmm or it would be so rad if emma watson played me. with an english accent because i've always wanted one
alas, i'm still here on the verge of tears, but i will sleep them off and my dreams will be good and tomorrow will be a new day.

Ao I have realized that i have forgotten to update this since I returned from camping. The days of the sun-soaked summer are nearing an end, I'll only be home for 6 more days. San Francisco is calling me and I need to return. I am anxious to go back to my cozy apartment and cook for myself and bask in the sunlight of Golden Gate Park. I made a list today of the things I must do when I get back and the first thing on my list is to get a library card for the library down the street. I have also compiled a list of books that I would like to read before the school years starts again. I can't wait to return to the bustling of the city and just observing interesting people. I can't wait to watch the sunset over the ocean. Packing though is such a pain, especially since i want to bring so much! I am so excited to decorate and make the room completely my own. I have gained so much inspiration from small places this summer and this past weekend I gained a piece of mind. SO, I am excited to start anew. August 4.

GONE FISHING.

well camping rather. but yes, ill be back on tuesday. later technology.

so i guess i'm going camping again this weekend....ya know when you finish a long term project? yeah, well i finished mine, so much relief. really pissed that the hills and the city episodes didn't show up for Kaitlin and I tonight. mtv=lame. on a lighter note, bestfriend Libby's birthday is today. Love her.

inspirations for fall....
so i love alexa chung, not in a homo way but seriously i want her closet. the end.

bonjour!

so unfortunately i have not had time to find a photo worthy enough to post today. no worries ill make up for it tomorrow. today i went to ikea to look for stuff for my apartment, in which a small sliver of my soul died because i want my home to be ikea. BUT dumb as it sounds i am seriously more excited to put up my chicken hanging thing up in the corner of my room more than anything else. im so lame. mathieu, our family's exchange student arrived today and i think that these are gonna be a fun two weeks, despite a potential camping trip which i am not so thrilled for, as my family is so awkward it's painful. also my face got so sunburnt this past weekend it started to peel. so don't expect to see me out and about until my face no longer looks diseased or like i was caught up in a house fire.

cause if you close your eyes and listen close you can hear the chapter close, and its all rebound in better clothes

i've seriously been listening to Relient K all day long. Mathieu, my french exchange student is coming tomorrow and i'm really excited!!! today i have begun packing some of my winter clothes for san francisco. 2 weeks until i move into my flat :) can time move faster puhlease?
on another note, camping was so much fun and i got a super good tan. camping makes me want to run away for a bit and just sit in peace and quiet. seriously though, i downloaded so much music today....i'm set for the rest of summer.

-______-

life is so complicated right now and it totally doesn't even need to be. all i need are my best friends, my dog, and a tall glass of lemonade.

current obsession

okay so i saw this ring today and i really want it!!! it's quite an investment, but whatever. today was actually really good although i had to work really early and ended up working overtime, but the people i work with are thankfully so fun! =) leaving tomorrow for camping, so ill probably post something before i go. i saw my sisters today which was really cool and i dug up my vintage indian beaded neclace and that was exciting. ALSO, i must devote some time to talk about these wedges. ummmm HOW ABOUT THE BEST SHOES EVER?!?! need supply co.=the best! i've only been shopping online all day. sigh. need these shoes. whatcha think?

so after many months of convincing my mother that her vintage watch would be better off on my wrist than in her macaroni jewelry cigar box i made in kindergarten, i took it in to get a new battery. turns out the watch is unfortunately broken, me having to pay $100 to fix it. as unfortunate as it may be i guess ill have to ask for it to be fixed for my birthday along with a new bottle of marc jacobs DAISY perfume (my one love). hmm, now i want to plan out my birthday festivities and what i want =) i work at 6:30am tomorrow, alas it's WAY past my bed time; sigh. by the way, i somehow am really loving this plain jane outfit right now. i love urban outfitters and thrift stores in the mission district of san francisco too much for my own good. i know how im spending my next few paychecks ;)
