I'm in the midst of developing a big, big crush on the lady.

I found some totally awesome prints on velocityartanddesign.com 

I can't wait until I start buying things for my house...

except I've already bought this awesome guy.

Thanks for your suggestions for Kitty names everyone!

The family has decided on a collaboration. It's a new tradition that my little sister Sadie names the cats,

but her two names, "Deek" and "Mak" were a little uninspired,

so we tacked on a little to amp up the kitties' adorable levels.

The darker kitty is Mak Gatsby, and the lighter kitty is Deek Estella 

(after a marathon racer Ben looked up to as a child).

I agreed, because Gatsby is just an awesome name for a kitty.

(Plus this leaves the names Basil, MacDuff, Atticus, and Mr. Darcy for my own future babies).

I'm all for cooperation. Here's a picture of some cute stuff.

Thank you weheartit

Hope these made your day better :)

My friend Dori

Is that really too creepy?)

My friend Dori
started this thing called "Dares for Good".
I'm inspired!! Check out the first dare above,
and find out how to support causes your especially fond of.
I helped monkeys and breast cancer.
Two things very close to my heart indeed.
To celebrate, here's a picture of a monkey!



Awwww....
how cute!
Here's another one!!!



awwwww gosh. How can you not love baby monkeys?

love, rudi

I love love all these photos so much. 

I would really love a print of the last one...

And my lack of an income is making me itch.

I really hate not earning any money- 

not that I spend it often,

but I never seem to have enough to make me comfortable. 

Luckily I'm a professional internet window shopper

and depressing myself by browsing through clothes I will probably never afford 

is a favorite hobby of mine ;).

For example:

I'm feeling pretty weak in the knees now....

I think I'll go lay down.

Good night.

Dear Craig,

1) Stephens was amazing, and I want to go there really bad,
but no, no word from them yet.
However, I did get a call from my admissions counselor Xander
(who is awesome, btw)
who said the President of Stephens burst into the admissions office one day to show off a small, circular, handmade thank you note she got from some mysterious student.
Sha-bow!

2) Craig, stop hasslin' me about that card. It'll be in the mail tomorrow. I'm putting on the finishing touches.
Love on these in the meantime.













3) So glad you asked.


love, rudi

For one, I am tired of checking my email hoping for some scholarship-related news from Stephens
and finding my email completely empty of new letters.

Also, my brain is tired, because I took the ACT today again,
and I never, ever want to see a science chart/graph ever again.
My heart has been thus broken.

Bascially,


And also these two things:




That's right.
A Box of Cupcakes. And a kitty.

What do you need?

love, rudi

It's almost my birthday!!
Like, tomorrow!!

But we've been celebrating all weekend, which has been an absolute blast.

We went to pick up Chris in Knoxville and went to a cupcake bakery while we were down there,
went to forever 21 and bought an awesome pirate shirt!
(photo later, maybe)
And also got some blue tights (that I love love love)

and we ate dinner at Red Robin! Which was awesome because my burger was free,
and I got an ice cream sundae,
and we tipped our waiter with a tuxedo cupcake!

And later in the weekend, me and Chris and Daniella
( my suddenly new German exchange student-
ohhhh surprises when you're mom's in charge!)
saw Where the Wild Things Are
((awesomescaryawesome))

went to a play in London with Patrick,


AND ATE CAKE!!!

LOOK AT MY AWESOME CAKE!!!!!

AND LOOK AT MY AWESOME (sometimes gross) BOYFRIEND

I love you guys,
and I love birthdays.

love, rudi
