I haven't had a lot of exciting things happen in the past week, so I have been slow to update the blog, but yesterday might have been the best day since I've been here... well, best day by myself.
Yesterday I woke up, checked my e-mails, responded to a few freelance responses from my portfolio (all future jobs/assignments, so not really anything right this moment), and waited on a priority box from mom.
Every time I receive a package it seems to inspire me to reorganize everything in my apartment. So I cleaned and sorted things out in a new way, but the best part was adding my new plates and coasters to the cabinets. It might be two days from my mom's birthday, but I got my birthday present from Mickey (my sister) yesterday. Boy was it worth the wait. Awesome set of plates and coasters. Check them out:
After receiving some of my favorite magazines, cavenders greek seasoning, and other odds and ends, I watched TV for a bit while I worked on the computer (my desk came in and I got cable this week! Needless to say, but my apartment is feeling more and more like home each day and I am spending more and more time in my colorful box).
Around 8 I decided I would go try and find something for dinner, but when I opened my door I had a package from UPS with the return address of an unfamiliar name and address from Missouri.
Intrigued, I brought the box in and decided to open it before I went out.
This is what I opened:
The best care package I've ever received from two of my greatest friends from school. Annie and Lauren and I were in Advanced Magazine Design together, so basically we spent the entire last semester together. So many great memories with them.
Side note: If you don't know this about me already, I kind of like Hannah Montana. Anyways, the "Hannah" box they sent me had "late night snacks," "magazines to keep me inspired," "tiny toiletries for my tiny apartment," and "cups for beer... I mean juice."
There was also a frame for my refrigerator that says "someone in Missouri loves you," and there is a picture from graduation of the three of us along with Julia, who was a part of the crew as well.
Basically, this made my day. Then I got to call and talk to them and catch up. Thanks girls for the package! It was the best surprise!
Last night Morgan and I went to the midnight showing of "September Issue," the new documentary about Anna Wintour and her influence on the fashion world as well as her history and continuing with Vogue. If it is in a theatre near you, I suggest checking it out. Fantastic movie.
