ELISABIRD'S BACK TO SCHOOL WISHLIST

i'm back in school in two weeks. kind of a thrilling lifestyle, don't you think? let's try to be a wifey, chef, house hunter, financial guru & a thriving undergrad all at the same time, shall we? thank goodness i'm not preggers.  (knock on wood. all of you.)

anyway, pretty little tools keep me happy so i've rounded up what i'll be spending most of my days (and nights) with this fall.

baggu coral ipad sleeve at madewell, pink 4gb usb key from buy amt

eco highlighter pencils from stubby pencil studio, white class exercise book at notemaker

little america backpack by herschel supply co., delfonics wooden pencils at alder & co.

ceramic new york coffee cup from the moma store, rubberized hard case by topcase at amazon

something to celebrate

jillian vratanina took this shot. we were all in school, my boyfriend would graduate the following year, and then we'd be off.

which is exactly what happened my friends. the boyfriend proposed and we left without my bachelors. we were moving constantly for his career which turned my life into a dastardly story of hindsight making me its b-word.

but.

last month husband was relocated back to east lansing.
this girl applied to state & was accepted back with open arms.
do i feel old? yes. do i wish i had more inner direction when i was a freshman? yes. will it matter when i'm 40? not a chance.

so here's to second chances. here's to having your cake and eating it too. and here's a very special cheers to super seniors.
