The Power of Lists

I love lists. I think in lists. I make at least 3 a day at work on little slips of paper. I have a little book in my purse that is just for making lists as I think of them. I make shopping lists, to do lists, lists of goals, who I want to be, what I want to do. It's a little ridiculous. It's like if I plan my whole life I can control it. What's especially stupid about it is that I'm way too much of a spontaneous person for this to work. So I end up making a thousand lists and still being unorganized and all over the place. It's the worst possible combination of OCD and relaxed. Ugh.

Anyways, since I worked for 12.5 hours today today, I've decided to go with lists for today.

A) Colors of the day (as decided by Gigi, Amari, Hollis, and Felix)
1. Red- we planted red flowers today and put rocks we painted like ladybugs in the garden as well.
2. Blue-for the sunny sky in the afternoon.
3. Grey- for the cloudy day this morning.
4. Brown-for planting seeds in the dirt with our fingers.

B) I want to...
...get good at shooting (especially when I turn 21 and can rent guns for free on Mondays!)
...have a good 21st birthday.
...get good at slacklining (and meet and know the people around Austin who do it.
...learn how to rock climb.
...hike in/camp well and often
...run 4 miles in 38 min
...run a half marathon.
...be skinny
...save money.
...go back to school and get a degree.

C) More wedding pictures I like






D) I love these mountain towns. I want to go to them all. They are so pretty!











E) Quotes





F) make me happy




G) Decorate with yellow always.


H) I miss my dogs






I) I want to make these both.



Music of the day:
Mumford and Sons: After the Storm

After The Storm Lyrics

And after the storm,
I run and run as the rains come
And I look up, I look up,
on my knees and out of luck,
I look up.

Night has always pushed up day
You must know life to see decay
But I won't rot, I won't rot
Not this mind and not this heart,
I won't rot.

And I took you by the hand
And we stood tall,
And remembered our own land,
What we lived for.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

And now I cling to what I knew
I saw exactly what was true
But oh no more.
That's why I hold,
That's why I hold with all I have.
That's why I hold.

I will die alone and be left there.
Well I guess I'll just go home,
Oh God knows where.
Because death is just so full and mine so small.
Well I'm scared of what's behind and what's before.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.



Alpha Rev: Goodbye from The Start
Is there anybody in there to come outside and play?
Did I run around you, did you run away?
Now there is nothing left but promises to fade

Was it goodbye from the start?
Coffee on Sunday and a walk in the dark
To your beautiful sadness when you stole my heart
Was it a goodbye, goodbye from the start?

Did I ask too many questions or have I been a pest?
Is there someone in the parlor thinking they know best?
Were you afraid of waking up inside another mask?

Was it goodbye from the start?
Stranded and lost when you hopped in my car
There's a beautiful sadness when you stole my heart
Was it a goodbye, goodbye?

From the beginning of the blinded eye
And the weakened of the weakened mind
I should know wherever we're leaving
Let it go, it's just a good time

Will you please forget me?
Can you learn to try again?
Can you try again?

Was it goodbye from the start?
Coffee on Sunday and a walk in the dark
To your beautiful sadness when you stole my heart
Was it just a good time?

Was it goodbye from the start?
Now there is nothing left but promises
And the beautiful sadness when you broke my heart
Was it a goodbye, goodbye from the start?
