So this happened.

If you read my last blog post you'll know that I'd like to have you guys know me a bit better.
Awkwardness and all.
What a better way to do that then put a camera in front of my face. 

If you have a spare 7 minutes you can watch and see me in all my glory. 

Also if our weirdness's are compatible let me know so we can be friends.

Let me know if you take the time to know me by watching this vid....I'm asking for a friend....

Happy Wednesday Friends

Don't read this if your prone to judgment.

i have a right sided brain. 

i'm creative. imaginative. general. intuitive. conceptual. big picture. empathetic. and irregular.

(very accurate right brain description found via the internet)

so if you can believe it? I'm messy. messy. messy. messy.
I'm working hard not to be, but sometimes it escalates. and I lack the motivation to get it all together.
that's why I'm telling you. hoping it leads to motivation. 

my room is a joke right now. literally sometimes i laugh and sigh to myself because it's so ridiculous. 

Why is it so messy you ask?

1. I try on 2-5 outfits everytime i get dressed.....and don't put away failed attempts.

2. I don't mind folding laundry? but putting it away is a different story

3. I really like "things" and have way too many of them. 

i plan on having it all done by Saturday morning.

we'll see how it goes.  

wish me luck. sorry i'm a slob. 

xo, rach

p.s. I want Lindsey to win the bachelor

I'm destined to never have long hair.

I haven't had long hair in 7 years.
(long time right?)

this is tiny, 8th grade, long haired, brace face, arcade dweller, me.

I would lllllooooovvveeee to grow out my hair again, but two problems.

1. Curly hair gets pretty damaged from flat irons (who knew?)

2. And i'm REALLY impatient.

I guess I'm looking for advice?

Any curly hair ladies out there with experience to share? 

Hair trend predictions for 2013 you could let me in on?
And heavy bangs? Opinions?

I'm very divided about whether to chop it, or trim it.
I'll keep you posted.

I'm so sensitive, but I have such a big heart!

Tierra? She's a crazy right?
I'm wildly wildly happy that she's gone!
like it's un-explainable.

Her quotes this week were the best!
"I can't control my eyebrow!" "I'm not perfect, get over it!"
aw I have such a love hate relationship.

I think sean is the first bachelor is history to not fall for such bull crap.
(excuse my french)

Any thoughts? Let me know.
p.s. I'm also so sad Leslie's gone she was definitely one of my favorites!

Happy monday friends.

xo, rach

Our phone conversations always make me laugh.

"I keep kissing frodo (his plump siamese cat) every 5 five seconds, we've been cuddling all day"
"Oh no! My oreo!"
"I saw the coolest mid evil batman costume today!"

This sums up my best friend and his love for his cat, oreos, and batman.
missing that kid too much.

11 days down. 7 to go. 

p.s. notice the thumbs up. 

xo, rach

It's just one of those days.

I woke up at 6 am for the first time in about a year.
I had to drive a half hour on the freeway, in the snow.
One of my windshield blades broke off.
I worked 8 hours for the first time in a month.
I locked myself out of my car, while it was running.
I got stitches taken out. (ouch)
While at the gym my muscles refused to work.
My head hurts.


xo, rach


p.s. honestly it wasn't a "bad" day.
just full of more mishaps than most.

The Hobbit.

I'm no movie critic, but I thought I'd give you my 2 cents.
I  thought it was so well done.
Having seen it 2x, I am just impressed by it all.

I was surprised how entertained I was.
I was on the edge of my seat anxious, and frightened, and laughing,

I was worried that because the movie was so long,
and they are stretching the book so thin I was going to be bored.
I never found myself saying "when's this part going to end"
Everything seemed so well thought out and connected.

There was that one part, after they have left rivendale, and are walking along the mountains edge?
I didn't understand the "thunder fight."
But I figured it was one of those things, that for those who had read the book,
would have been upset if it was excluded.
And it's 5 minutes compared to the movies 3 hours, was not a big deal.

Dating a film major has helped me appreciate
all the work that goes on, on the other side of the screen.

There's a scene when all the dwarfs and Gandalf have gathered at Bilbo's home,
and Gandalf is standing in an area between a pantry and the dining room.
I was so impressed how well the brought everything to scale.
Gandalf was hitting his head on the ceiling while the dwarves looked half his size.
At first I was like "wow that's some really good green screen work"
then a dwarf hands Gandalf a drink...and he takes it...and I said what the?
Film is magic. It's so ridiculous.
All the scale doubles, and different angles, and tricks they used to help
you believe that Bilbo was the size of a child,
and that these average sized men were riding mini horses...
and holy cow. it's amazing.


I watched the Lord of the Rings last week to get ready?
I now openly admit I'm the biggest nerd.
I never thought I could casually talk about a wizard mending the grudgeful relationships
of dwarves and elves while also leading them back to their home land
previously taken over by a fire breathing gold coveting dragon.
Ben would be proud.

ANYWAYS.....
If you like Lord of the Rings, you'll love this movie, and have probably already seen it.
anyways, if you read this whole thing? props.

and......go see the movie.

cold nights call for cozy measures

it's bitter cold in this draper town.
the wind bite's your skin,
and leaves your hands tense.

it's the kind of night that leaves me
wanting nothing but to be cozy.

as soon as i walked in my room,
i found my footie pajamas
(equipped with a bum flap)

i went to the kitchen and made up some
delicious hot cocoa with my favorite toppings.
(spray whip cream and caramel)

i then sat under my covers,
editing pictures and discovering new music.
definitely a good ending to a good day.

(in the background; bows, present tags, chocolate oranges. it's an ostler Christmas up in here.)

hope you're warmer than i am.
merry almost Christmas

p.s. tomorrow i'm praising the hobbit.
get ready for it.

How do things progress to this?

I haven't watched ellen in ages, but you better believe i'm subscribed on youtube.

this..this is a real winner.



p.s. sorry i've been so flaky,
the holidays are getting the best of me.
i'll have lots to share soon.

Netflix just got a bit disney-er.

pocahontas

Free Printable: Christmas To Do

so...I've been feeling lazy?
and that might be an understatement.
I'm not working the whole month of december.
I didn't wake up until 11:30 today.
I've been watching way too much netflix.
I watched the first season of downton abbey, amazing by the way,
and I'm in the third season of parenthood.
(that's been in the past week)
it's a joke.

but that laziness has led me to fall behind in blogging...
so I made something for you.
Me and Ben have a Christmas to do list.
I think it's so fun, and I thought you might want one!

download here!

have a lovely day!

Just in case you weren't already excited for thanksgiving.

These tears are a joke.

I have this problem called
"all happy moments in reality tv bring me to tears"
Seriously. Its a joke.
Someone finds a dress via say yes to the dress? Tears.
A proposal through a cake on cake boss? Tears.
3 judges turn around on the voice? Tears.
I swear I'm not that big of a baby.
But this one? i was watering up.

She's 17, and way cooler than I'll ever be.
I mean look at her hair. Enough said.

Enjoy

I forget the movie song.

I've been a blogging funk.  I've only done like one post this week.
That puts me like 9 behind. Anyways...Things will be better next week.
because I say so.
A simple diy, an outfit post, nails night with my roommates.
Yeah much better.

But I realized I didn't even do a music monday post..
then I was hanging out with my friend courtney tonight,
and we discovered there was a piece of music gold she hadn't heard yet.
I'm just going to share it with all of you.

Im way obsessed with it.
