staci learns to commit: part three
Okay, this is probably getting to that tedious point, but here goes.
Things I want to commit to:
- crafting with friends
- learning to sew
- traveling
- finishing books
- writing more
staci learns to commit: part two.
I am posting things I know I need to commit more fully to on my blog for the whole wide world (aka 24 followers) to see!
- being on time
- answering my phone and calling people back
- saving money
- writing letters
Now you all can hold me more accountable! Don’t hold back! Be viscous if you have to!

The other day at Agora, I got this delightful wall art. I brought it back to my place really thinking I was going to spray paint it white and just hang it above my bed as a focal piece. It was Adam who had the brilliant idea of using it as a headboard. And once I saw it like that, I couldn’t bear to paint over the beautiful gold! It looked so great with all of my bright colors.

Movie Night with Christina/ The semi-end of...
For the next few months, my blog will be part nonsense and another part movie reviews as my roomie Christina and I attempt to watch a great chunk of AFI’s top 100.
First on the netflix queue: The 400 Blows & 2001: A Space Odyssey.
The Cat Sits Where It Pleases
This time, it sits on my chest, purring in my face. Oh Kittles.
Speaking of cats, Georgia Nicholson’s cat Angus is the only cat who has much personality as Kittles Winkleton. I just finished the final confession of Georgia Nicholson, Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me? It was vair vair fab and marvy. Double cool with knobs. Ace. If you haven’t read the series, you should. They...
