Ring-a-ding-ding

I haven't found my hookup for my camera...so I don't have any photos from my trip to Telluride yet. I ended up snowboarding most of the time there. In my personal skiing vs. snowboarding argument, snowboarding is the reigning champion. I do enjoying being able to say that I ski and snowboard now though...

I've been browsing Etsy for wedding rings lately. Again, no intentions of getting married soon, but it goes along with my general wedding obsession...and it can't hurt to keep an eye out right? Well here are some of my faves:

Fingerprint Ring by chrisperry
I love this, it's so personal and beautiful.

Diamond Stacker Band by sarawestermark

Fleur Ring by sudlow
(I just want this ring...period.)

This ring is love at first sight. It is so perfect. I think if I were to be proposed to with this ring today, I couldn't help but say yes just so I could wear it on my finger...just kidding...kind of! Hah!
Ideal Twig Solitaire by bmjnyc
(AND it is all recycled! How do I go about hinting to my boyfriend that even though it is too early for us to be thinking about marriage...he should definitely think about investing in this ring if he has any intentions of a future...?)

I left my hand and my heart on the dance floor

...how could I not? And for the record, if I had that body, I would be wearing all that wonderful madness too, wouldn't you?!?

"Dude, I think this whole town is high...

...Telluride, CO: Elevation 13,150 feet"

This elevation is kicking my ass. Kicking it! The air is so thin here that walking up the stairs leaves my heart pounding and my poor lungs gasping for air. I feel like a fish thrown onto a dock half of the time. I arrived here almost three days ago, and I still haven't totally adjusted. But...

...today I went skiing for the first time since I was 12!!!!

I have spent the last 10 odd years of my life snowboarding, but that was getting kind of rough on my old bones, so I decided, hey, what the hell, let's give the old skis a try again. It was really fun! Telluride is gorgeous, and I swear I got distracted just staring at the mountains a couple of times. And it had just snowed about a foot the night before, so the snow was beautiful and untouched and sparkly. Mmm pretty. I did a lot better than I thought I was going to, but towards the end my legs turned into noodles and I ended up looking like this a couple times...

Here are some things I am absolutely salivating over right now...SALIVATING...

1. Petit Dejeuner Dress :: ModCloth $64.99

2. The Commodore Skirt :: ModCloth $57.99

About a week ago I saw these adorable Embroidered Logs at Design*Sponge and have been dying to try it out myself! My grandma is really crafty, and I am staying with her another week, so maybe I will be able to embroider some logs with her and my darling little cousins! I just love saying that: embroider logs. Look at how cute it is! I think I want to do some skis....anyone have any good/fun ideas?

Last Days and Sushi

Today was my last day of work ever at Primo. It is less exciting than I thought it would be, but I feel like I can finally look forward toward my future without anything restraining me, and for that I am deeply thankful.

Dear ModCloth,

(Dear Blogger.com,
Why won't you connect to your server and let my edit my blog post and upload more photos? It has forced me into posting a very scant blog entry today. Thanks.)

While I deeply adore so many deliciously pretty items you carry in stock, why does it seem that everything that I actually desire to purchase is either Out of Stock or astronomically beyond my budget? This makes me very sad. I still have hopes for our relationship together, maybe someday we will work it out, but for now, here is a list of your grievances against me:

The Cindy Booties ($169.99) & Edie Wedgewick Shoes ($159.99)

Orchid Lane

I have been in the most horrible mood lately. Tuesday is the last day of my job, so I've been interviewing, hiring, and training people, which is downright exhausting. And I'm heading off to Telluride for a week and a half on the 8th, so there is planning going down for that. Right now I just feel like all the weight of the world is on my shoulders to not screw it up this time. College. Job. Relationship. FUTURE. Ya know, just light stuff.

BUT! Today I had to go to downtown Ann Arbor to get a new septum retainer because mine fell out in the shower and went down the drain...so I got to go into Pangea Piercing, which is always a treat. If you live anywhere near Ann Arbor and want a new piercing or jewelry, they are the only place to go. Everything is surgical grade clean and top quality, and their piercers really know their shit. Did I mention they have the most beautiful jewelry?! I think I am going to finally grow some balls and gauge my ears out just so I can wear some of the gorgeousness...

Oooh and right before that I went to one my most favorite stores in A2 called Orchid Lane. Everything in their warehouse right next to the store is $15 or under!!! I got the most darling skirt, a shirt, a knitted headband, and the cutest gloves for only $50! The gloves are a lot like a yellow leather pair that Rebecca of The Clothes Horse wore once, and ever since I saw them I have been on a mission to get a pair myself. Mine are knit fabric though, not leather. Anyway I'll whip out the new cuteness tomorrow and take some *gasp* outfit photos. Hopefully there will be some sunlight tomorrow....

Also tomorrow, I really hope to be able to go see Avatar again. Not to sound like the biggest loser in the world, but I really resonated with that movie, especially Neytiri. I feel like I must have have been Native in a past life or something because I just feel like that is how I should be living my life! Ya know, out in the wilderness...riding flying dragons.... :)
