My mind is open wide and now i'm ready to start...

I had a lovely day in the city with my mother today
We started on 12th street
and we walked downtown (of course stopping in shops along the way) to Broome street.
Our mission was simple, we were heading to Topshop to get my christmas present.
I had seen it on the website and fell in love with it.
Let me show you...
Knitted Lace Insert Jumper - Topshop USA

It was really love at first sight, haha I'm getting so romantic over a sweater.
But anyway we found it and we purchased!
I also dragged my mother into Lush, I'm working on converting her. ^_~

Oh, and as we were walking downtown I saw a cupcake cart and I bought us Mini cupcakes.
Only to see my favorite cupcake truck a few blocks later.
Sooo typical.
Anyway...

So after all the shopping and wandering that we did we went into my fave place for a bite to eat...
Chipotle!
Then we walked back to the car,
Where I realised we forgot to do something
I had wanted to stop at Union Square Park to check out the Holiday Fair that they have there every year.
Every year I buy a Trinity Knot something for myself.
They have a booth there that sells Celtic jewlery but alas it will have to wait.
I have until Xmas to get one.

Well this got me thinking of some of the things that I want to do....
So here is a short list of things that I want to do before the New year:

1. Go to Holiday Fair
2. Go on one of the Haunted walking tours in NY

3. Get back into skating... Slowly of course... I don't need to injure myself.... Again.
4. Go to the Aquarium
5. Celebrate my Birthday/New year with the people I care about.

*Side note* I went on a date last Friday, that was pretty Awesome.... ^_^

Love is our resistance...

Thinking about something my mother told me the other night...

but first a little bit of back story..

I have a very hard time sleeping at night,

which leads me to wander around the house at 2, 3 or even perhaps 4am..

I don't know why but this is how it is.

Usually I just occupy this time by reading, watching movies, listening to music, drawing or even the random painting. So I wander around the house.

As you know I was away for the last 2 weeks.

Now I would like to think that I still live at home because I can not afford to move out, but in reality I stay because I know how much my parents depend on me.

I guess it's just one of those things... anyway back to the beginning..

So I had just gotten back from N.C. I was doing my normal wandering thing and I guess my mother had gotten used to the house being quiet at night

(Don't get me wrong its not like I walking down the halls banging pots and pans when every ones asleep its more like you hear me walking around and moving things.)

So I woke her up and she said "Delilah" to which I replied "Yeah"

"Oh, it's you, I'm not used to hearing someone moving around at night."

"Sorry"

"It's ok, I missed it" after she said that she laughed and went back to sleep.

It was nice to know that I was missed,

that something so insignificant as my walking around the house.

It just made me think of my mother and my relationship,

It took a long time for her to accept me the way I am.

Now I doubt she would even blink an eye if I walked into the living room covered in glitter and feathers.

She would probably ask the regrettable question " What are you doing?"

So yeah that little thing got me thinking... about this lady..
