I'M MOVING!.... in like two years. :)

ever felt you are exactly where you are supposed to be, in life?
-rare, but it's been known to happen.

ever felt you know exactly where you are going, in life?
-no.

ever feel that your actions are taking you to your desired outcome?
-even more rare. Today was the first time that I could answer that with a definite YES.

Had an all morning meeting with Ashley (my business partner) and discussed the future.... NYC. Set out a time line that included all things responsible; financial standing, our business and what happens when we get there. And you may be happy to know that both of our plans include finishing school before the first box is packed.

Oh geez...

this is much more than procrastination. its part refusal part ignorance.
i have 12-15 page paper due on tuesday, i currently, have less than 1 page complete. just can't seem to get my self motivated enough to push through it.

my apologies for the random, unreliable postings lately. shits gotten much more complicated that i could have dreamed.

moved back home. yes, bit the lip of pride and moved home. i know reside among the boxes filled with Christmas crap in the lovely unfinished basement. it does get nice and dark at night, though. (there is a silver lining-- my love for sleep is encouraged!)

some recent and very exciting news is a new endeavor i'm undertaking with my partner in crime, sir John Gawly (no, he's not royalty but you should know his name!). we have started the next BIG thing in Omaha. The Big O! Fashion Show will be arriving spring of 2010. Providing a stage for the local fashion industry to shine while serving to those with Leukemia and Lymphoma.

The show will be two nights with a launch party dedicated to the Green Collation of Omaha. This project has just started to take flight, so keep your eyes posted for ads in the OMAHA magazine with a feature article coming as well. ... and don't worry I'll keep you posted on here as well!

for now, keep your heart open and your mind focused...

Over due Post: Final Notice

My sincerest apologies for the delay in posts. I have been quite busy since the last word was typed. So here is an agenda for the topics to be discussed today:

1. apartment, update
2. love department
3. career moves
4. higher education
5. love/depression for rain
6. tan lines
7. SPRING is SPRINGING!
8. photo opp
9. jet lagged
... lets begin...

1. Apartment, updated: Today marks the official two month mark for leaving the nest. Still very organized (of course), clean (double of course) and empty fridge syndrome. Yes, a struggling college student can have a very sweet apartment and yet still have a very empty fridge. I do have all the condiments tho-- don't you worry, all name brand as well-- because those taste the best, duh.

Thus far I have killed three (yes, 3) fish. Harold lived 2 days, Hinkley made it just past the 24 hr mark and Lucky Bastard (who didn't turn out to be so lucky) lived a measly 17 hrs. The Fish Store (from whom I purchased all three fish) thinks I'm a crazed Fantail Goldfish killer. Please don't suggest I get a Beta, because not only will you be the um-teenth person to suggest it but it will be the um-teenth time I have told someone I HATE Betas (and no, I don't think they are pretty...)!

2. Love Department: The date with Love Library did land a second date but I stopped returning calls after that. It was a mad scientist I was not mad for. However, a prior intrigue (those may remember the fling around New Years) suddenly flooded my thoughts. He had been out of town for training for the last two months and curiosity struck if might be back. A friendly text turned into a returned friendly call that turned into a few more friendly call/texts, turned an intrigue into a boyfriend. Yesterday was the oh-so-coveted three week point. He has two children and an ex-wife but he is a great father, a respectful man, and a good human being. His judgment is level headed, his way with money is conservative and views of marriage, family and lifestyle match mine. I am being cautious with my heart and honest with my feelings. My fear is not of falling in love but of failing to see it coming (this might be the one occasion I don't appreciate a surprise). But of course this is just the third week of the relationship, we have a lot of "getting to know you" done. (it works best if you sing the "getting to know you"...)

3. Career Moves: I have spoken with a few members of the Lincoln Arts Council. They will be taking my nomination to the May meeting for executive board member. I would be the youngest on the board but that's exactly what they are looking for. I have a lot of what they are looking for and they can give me some good connections/networking opportunities as well. I have really good feelings about this one. :)

4. Higher Education: It is the end of dead week which means finals week is only two days away. I am lucky (?) enough to have my only paper, final exam (essay), and quiz on Monday. YAY, me. AND when finals are done... SUMMER school. You should be jealous...

5. Love & depression for rain: Rain is great but a full seven days of it can make a girl depressed. And that's exactly what happened. The last 48 hrs contained a lot of crying. But the bestest friend in the world made me cupcakes. The world is a much better place with cupcakes- yellow cake with chocolate frosting cupcakes. Its amazing what booze, best friends, cupcakes and perhaps a little sunshine can do.

6. Tan lines: Speaking of sun! Prior to all this damn rain was some very hot-n-sunny days. I have found my weekend spot for tanning over the summer (forget tanning beds, gross). The campus fountains- if its too hot, just take a dip and keep that tan up. The only downer is some major tan lines. Tank tops, bra straps its a mess, but I will cope some how. :)

7. SPRING is SPRINGING: Today is May 1st. weird. Its hard to believe the date, and hard to believe the trees have leaves BUT it is and they do! I'm loving it--

8. Photo Opp: I have sold my official third piece of work. The score: Art Show=2, Noyse=0, Zen's= 1. Time of display's Art Show=3 hrs. Noyse= 3 mo., Zen's= 1 mo.

9. Jet Lagged: Over the last two months I have traveled to Scottsdale AZ as well as the ever-crazy New Orleans LA (we should have just stayed on Bourbon street) and will be making the great voyage with Julia and Jenna to Oshkosh this month. Stay tuned for endless enjoyment that is my life...

Numero Uno

First post, Brace yourself.

Its the first day back to school in 2009. The first day back always seems a little ambiguous perhaps not as much in the winter as in the fall, but nonetheless, still feel this period of reconnection is inevitable. Just getting back in that grove and shaking off the post holiday funk. But you know there is always that awkward run in: Ex lover, Ex friend, Ex roommate, Ex crush from last semester, Ex coworker they are all back too and have a different schedule than last semester when you never saw them or in the case of the crush, saw them every tuesday/thursday. Smile, say hello, ask about the break, don't trip as you walk away.
Cardinal rule: always look hot on the first day of classes. There are just too many people to impress to be sloppy. Even if you ride the bike, its snowing, the wind is blowing 85 mph; they are all excuses!

One great thing about back to school, besides shopping, is normalcy. Glad to be back in the swing of things, and of course get closer to the end.

Now lets discuss the amazing break we have just experienced:

• First art show! A great turn out, amazing food, great drinks, pleanty of drinks, good looking people, doing good things for a good reason.
• No one has sang me "Happy Birthday" yet. That is a great thing!
• My family came to the show, and suprised me on my door step. I had no idea they were coming and it was the best suprise I could have asked for!
• One Megan replaced another. That was pretty cool.
  
• Booked first modeling gig. A fashion runway show for Torrid. Huge confidence booster
• Turned away a boy. Also another huge confidence booster.
  
• Met an amazing man, who may not be long term but makes me feel giddy inside. and that is all I care about right now.
  
• Bought a kick ass vintage bike. a Townie. Its sweet and its the perfect blue.
  
• Also purchased a even more kick ass camera. Nikon D60. You should be jealous. I would be.
  

I'm gonna go strut my shit on campus, in the middle of the mild blizzard that I just noticed, and run into every awkard moment just so I can remind them how Hot I am. (so Hot, snow melts... sorry that was corny)
