Goodness, it has been a bit since I last posted any photos from Tumblr.
For a while there ... probably a couple of weeks ... I just neglected my Tumblr all together! :/
But alas, I'm back into the swing of things.
Enjoy!

**all photos reblogged from my tumblr.
if any photo belongs to you, please let me know!

Attention tattoolit!

hey did you guys know that i got a Dear Sugar tattoo on friday? from #41, Like An Iron Bell:
“Do you realize that your refusal to utter the word love to your lover has created a force field all its own? Withholding distorts reality. It makes the people who do the withholding ugly and small-hearted. It makes the people from whom things are withheld crazy and desperate and incapable of knowing what they actually feel.
So release yourself from that. Don’t be strategic or coy. Strategic and coy are for jackasses. Be brave. Be authentic. Practice saying the word love to the people you love so when it matters the most to say it, you will.
We’re all going to die, Johnny. Hit the iron bell like it’s dinnertime.”

this guy.
this one was my first crush.
:)

This line comes from a poem written by Denis McMahon. He encouraged me to pursue writing & for that I am forever grateful. But most importantly his poems inspire me and leave me feeling like I am floating. This one in particular captured an attitude to life that I so strongly identify with.
“my sugargirl angeldances on the beach in winterhiking her skirtat the air she whisperstake me you beautiful paddlepopbefore the moon melts”
Wearing this line on my arm helps me to find that feeling each time I look at it. It reminds me to be free, excited & romantic. It also reminds me that we have only one life & will spend a long time dead; it reminds me that life is now.
The lettering is from my typewriter. I typed it out & then enlarged it. My typewriter was a gift from a dear friend of mine who also inspires me continually. And I use this typewriter always when I am writing, or when I am creating copies of my favourite poems or quotes. Some of my fondest moments of inspiration are associated with that typewriter. It was my best friend who suggested that I use that font so it also makes me think of her.
I adore this tattoo. It was done by Unique Tattoos in Subiaco, Western Australia. They are absolutely amazing! Their work is flawless. Unfortunately I’m not sure of my tattooist’s name but I think it was Lauren. Look how perfect the lettering is! It looks even better now that’s healed. This photo is from the day I had it done. It was my first tattoo.

“oh my.” — that is what I said when I saw this photo. :)

aw. & this is why we love them oh-so-much! <3

this city is hard not to love. — please go for a visit if you haven’t already. it is absolutely beautiful!

Zooey Deschanel & Joseph-Gordon Levitt

Chillon. Switzerland (by abran fuego)

Someone PLEASE, PLEASE buy me everything in this photo!! I’m IN LOVE!

I honestly haven’t thought much of the Olsen twins since they were younger, but I kind of love this photo of them. :)

Which were your favorites??!

I think I have to go with the ever lovely Emma Stone, first celebrity crush Joshua Jackson, the "FRIENDS" kitchen, 'fearfully and wonderfuly made' tattoo, The Office clip of Jim & Pam, & the beautiful look of the castle in Switzerland! :)

**but they are all pritty darn awesome.

Happy Thursday!

much love.

dinner date.

Goodness, me.
I have felt like I have be absent from the blogging world a lot this past week.
This probably has to do with the fact that I have. :/
I completely missed my 'Tuesdays with Colie' post this past Tuesday.
So, it looks like this coming Tuesday you'll get a double post. :)
Which will be fun, but more typing for me. ;)
(& I don't even want to talk about how I have neglected my tumblr. poor thing.)

Anyhoo, I just wanted to update you all on what has been happening lately.

1. I have had the craziest work schedule. This is legit, considering I had two days off and then had an eight day work schedule afterwards. :/ (I still have 3 more days after today) I'm obviously looking forward for next Wed/Thurs so that I can sleep in and relax a bit.

2. I got sick ... AGAIN!! geez. You know the saying, "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired?" -- UMM... yea, well I am completely on board with that. I mean, I couldn't even drink coffee, folks!! & I LOVE coffee. :( **side note: coffee is the numbero UNO worst thing to drink with a sore throat. sad day, indeed. -- wonderful news, though. i finally got to drink a cup yesterday morning!! it was glorious. ;)

3. Nathan & I became official about 2 weeks ago, and he has been the biggest blessing in my life. :) & in between work and being sick ... I had some time to squeeze him into my crazy schedule. Which was nice, but meant we were both exhausted. I don't like that our work schedules are completely opposite of the other. :/ BUT! we do have next weekend off so that is going to be wonderful.
(ps. there will be photos of us together SOON!! ... I promise! :)

4. I am getting excited for one of my best friends, Jordan, having a birthday this coming Sunday! :) She will be the big 2-5! Which means she is closer to the big 3-0 than me. ;) **only by 3 months, though. ha.

I hope you have all been doing well!
I am looking forward to sharing more on this blog in the upcoming months. :)

I wanted to leave you with a photo from a recent trip that Nathan & I took while antique shopping. It was at a local shop, which was so sweet and got me quite giddy and excited. (the little things makes me happy. thrifting and antiquing are two of them!) Anyhoo, I came across this birthday card and couldn't help snapping a photo of it. I laughed so hard!! -- Now, I wish I had bought it for Jordan. ;)

Enjoy the weekend.

Stay warm.

much love, colie!
