Here one day, there the next, and then back. Thats how we do it!

It's not that I am changing my mind. More like, my brain and my heart are having a constant fight and one day my head is winning and the next my heart is winning. Today my heart is winning. I like it better when my head wins! its less painful.
I prayed to God and asked what to do with this. He told me it serves a purpose I do not know about now, and I should continue being loving and kind regardless.
I don't know how to do that, but I try.






Dear Sir,
I wrote that song with you, don't dare sing it on your own... I will be too sad if you kick me out of the duet more than you already have. Just sayin'.

Yours, hopefully not forever
That one girl

Thoughts, or lack thereof

I know I owe you guys a whole bunch of dress pictures... I don't really feel motivated to post them at the moment, but I will post a whole bunch sometime soon. Not that I expect you lovely people to be ready to riot due to a lack of blog posts and photos about my dresses.

Things on my mind at the moment:

1. I hate that Game of Thrones is so porno! I love the idea of it, but I can't watch the show... too much whoring. Same goes for True Blood. Good idea, terrible show.
2. I wish I was in love and I don't want a long distance relationship, I like cuddling too much... and I would rather be alone and not missing someone than alone and in pain because he is somewhere out there.... far away. .... at least thats what I think I want.... actually... let me re-think that.
3. I can't believe I am going to NYC. I can't wait! No plans, except for China Town, Ima go find my long lost family. I am also super happy my friend Martin will be going with me, because he knows the difference between a real and fake stuff. I would be likely to buy some knock off junk thinking it was supa cool and then end up looking like a fool.
4. Nicki Minaj - Super Bass - is not too bad. I sort of like that song.
5. There are too many freaking books! I have a LONG list of books I want to read... but TV always sucks me in! its so much easier... but I like finishing books way more than finishing watching a movie... makes me feel like I accomplished something. What a dull life I lead, where finishing a book is an accomplishment... wow. I clap for myself!
6. Last night I watched a couple of documentaries about beauty and about how beauty should come from the inside and not only be on the outside. I fear they may have had a bad influence on me, unlike they were meant to, because I feel like getting extensions, teeth whitened, go tanning , wear heels and fake lashes. Stupid!
7. this one is a secret. don't it make you curious!
8. I would really love a good era movie to watch.... any suggestions?
9. ohh I can't remember...
10. I am off

Day 14

Dress: its new, got it for less because it was a little bit broken, but I fixed it. It's a mall buy... not exciting, but still awesome dress!!
It's so me!!
Also I love the Kooks new song "junk of the heart (happy)" check on it yo!!

Lovely Antique

Mondays off are the best! its been rainy today which is perfect for going for short walks in Reykjavík and stopping at antique stores just to browse. I just had to take some pictures.







Last night I was talking to my sis-in-law telling her about how much I love roller coasters. Then the conversation moved on to guys, and how this one guy I have been chasing/being chased by in the past is like a roller coaster to me... she then reminded me of how much I love roller coasters.
The thing is, I do love roller coasters when I feel safe on them. But some guys are like roller coasters with no seat belts.... totally unsafe and insane! I am so done with that. I'd take a roller coaster with proper safety gear over a crazy seat belt-less one any day!
Just sayin'

Day 12 and 13

Remember how I write this blog and therefore I get to make all the rules. Well, that goes for this Project 35 Dresses. So I took a couple of days off... due to a mixture of being too busy to wear a dress and craving some quality time with all my other wonderful non dress clothes. But Now I am ready to be back in business!

I overslept today and realized that when I got out of the shower I had about 5 minutes to get ready... so I got dressed in a hurry! When I have no time to pick out an outfit when I am getting ready for church I love having fancy dresses to put on. That way I look fancy and church-ready without too much effort. Dresses are lovely.

Nr. 1 was on my back when I went to church. I got it at Rokk og Rósir a couple of weeks ago. It is vintage. Its an immediate favorite. Not because of comfiness but because its BEAUTIFUL!!

Nr. 2 is perfecto for after church Sabbath day relaxing times at home... I also plan on wearing it to my friends house after family dinner tonight. We are going to be making cakes... yay!! I got it while on a fun times trip to Sweden a couple of years ago. Its a size large, so its a bit... large... but its still a favorite because its super comfy!!

Day 11

Planing parties and activities can be fun! but I am super tired now, and I have evening shift so I am going to take a nap and then go to work.

Here is the dress in action, and one of my friend M in all her coolness!




Here is the dress in all its plainness. Got it from Vero Moda about a year ago. Love it. The End.

Day 10

I was sick at home today. It seems all this ice cream eating during warm summer days has caught up with me. So I slept in today and took a nap in the afternoon. Both this morning and my afternoon nap I had dreams about realizing I had another closet full of dresses I had forgotten to move from my old place to where I live now. It was lovely, but I think this may be all because of this project.
Even though I wasn't feeling too good I still decided to wear a dress today, and since it is getting chilly outside I wore a woolen knitted dress I got from my friend ages ago. Today was the first time I wore, even though I have always loved it. The reason I never wore it before was because I always felt too fat to wear it, but then I tried it on today and it fits!
I do like to wear layers with it though... its such a cute dress but I feel like its the sort of dress you can have fun with and use lots of accessories and such with.
I wore it pretty much all day... but I was in bed pretty much all day too... except for dinner time. I went to get something to eat with my little brother, and thats when I added the sweater, scarf, boots, hairstyle and a little mascara to the whole look.
Yay for being a girl!!

Calling the US Embassy=death trap

calling the US embassy is a pain in the butt! this is sort o how it went...

I dialed the number, a machine answered: "You have reached the US Embassy in Reykjavik, Iceland. For US Citizen emergency press 0, for blablabla press 1, for blablabla press 2..... and so on for a good long while.... for blablabla press 8 (I press a number) You have reached the assistance blabla, for US Citizen passport emergency press 1, for US citizen passport blabla press 2, for other inquiries press 3 (I press 3) You have reached blablabla, for blabla press 1, for blabla press 2, for blabla press 3... and so on and so forth... 8 minutes later.... You have reached blabla, for blabla press 1, for blabla press 2, if you wanna kill yourself by now please hang up and do so.

I hate you US Embassy answering machine!

Day 9

UGH.. I am still super tired! I think I had too much fun last Saturday and am still suffering. 6 hours of sleep is also not nearly enough when you have a full day of work and then other obligations the next day (that is today).
So I didn't wear a dress at all today... but I have one on now and am going to sleep in it... its one of those favorite type dresses you can wear for comfy times during the day, or even a bit fancy, and then you can also wear it to bed because its a super dress!
I can't remember buying it, but it's from Vero Moda which is one of my favorite places to shop... all good things.
Right now I am wearing it in bed, blogging and listening to Andrea Bocelli. Delightful. I can't wait to sleep!





I also found this dress in the gutter on my way to church, after work. It was in the gutter, but it is there no more! I love this dress!! I love that I found it and saved it from passing cars, the rain and cats with rabies!





Good night!

Day 8

I am super tired. Probably due to too much food and too much fun times at the wedding yesterday.
Todays dress I got from my friend who just got married yesterday. We traded dresses at one point. It was bunches of fun and I love this dress. :D
I took the photos myself. ohh and the line on my bum is my tank top I had underneath :D hee hee, was halfway into my PJs when I realized I hadn't taken the photos yet... so I just hurried up without really making sure I had all my layers tucked in neatly. ohh well... bumlines are awesome!




Also, letting go feels good. Hoping for better things is good and some guys are just eternally vexing.... some other guys are surprisingly vexing. I guess everyone has a good side and a bad side... or at least one that I don't like.
The End

Day 6 and 7 all in one day!!

Today was my best friend wedding, so I decided it would probably be ok to have a double dress day!
For the first part of the day I wore a shorter everyday comfy dress... its super cute and one of my favorites. I got it new from a flea market in down town Reykjavík a while ago and managed to get the lady who sold it to me to lower the price. woohoo for great deals!




The other dress I got from Rokk og Rósir the other day, when I bought seven dresses at once. It is also one of my favorites! really really comfortable and cool. I love it!! I wore that one to the wedding and the reception. Fun times!!





As you can see I failed to take pictures of myself wearing the dress during the day. I was either running around like crazy or sitting down in a car/by a table all day... so I never really got a chance to take some cool photos. But I did get to do some cool stuff. I sang at the church and gave a speech at the ceremony. I helped the photographer between the ceremony and the reception with taking photos. We went to this little old cute Icelandic house and took some photos of the happy couple. I forgot to take my own camera with me there, which was fine I guess since I wouldn't have had the chance to take many photos for myself of the two of them. But the photographer, my older sister, took some amazing photos! it was so much fun!! I hope they put the photos on Flickr or something and if they do I will post a link on here!

I am super tired now and don't have much else to say... I had a great day!
One thing first though. Sometimes I wish I could see 5 photos from the future. Just to see what memories I will have some day. Things like, who I marry, our children, dreams fulfilled, things accomplished, fun times had... just snap shots of what I will some day have as memories. But I can't have that now. I can just pray for the strength to stay on the right path, and trust that the Lord has a plan for me.
Good night cakebabies!!

Day 5

Todays dress I got ages ago!! I can't remember where exactly... let me check if it says on the inside of the dress.... I checked it and turns out its from Zara... I guess thats a favorite place to shop! I got it for Christmas one year, back when I was larger. I think it looks even better now, but I can see it working when I get pregnant too... some day...
Anyways, I wore it to a movie premiere. It was the movie my brothers and others have been working on. The short film prequel to Flex and Flexibility which we made about 3 years ago. It started as a joke my brother made... about sense and sensibility... and turned into a stupid short film... which now has an awesome prequel!!
After the premiere my brother M, my friend S and I practiced out musical number thinger for my friends wedding again. It went well although I was more nervous today than yesterday... I hope I got all the nervousness out of my system today and can be relaxed and ready to sing tomorrow!! I still have to write my speech. Shouldn't be too hard though... I know K and from what I know of E I have nothing but nice things to say about him... I just need to make sure I give myself time to sit down and write it out on paper.
But now I need to sleep!!
Here is the dress. I took these photos myself, except for the first one, the one with me and all the actors, my niece Anja took that one... she was playing a paparazzi at the premiere... I got to interview all the actors and famous guests.




for those interested in watching the short film, here is a link...

Day 4

Today was wonderful. I wore my dress to work and enjoyed wearing it whilst doing all sorts. Sometimes I wonder how I make it through the day doing my job. I get home from work and thing of how wonderful my day has been. Then my brother asks me how my day was, to which I reply "GREAT!" and then he asks what I did and I think back on my day and realize...it was bizarre! .... I scooped poop out of the toilet, got spit, peed and coughed on, gave people a bath and brushed some fake teeth... and thats not even half of it... the rest I don't even dare share on here. But I love my job. I also got hugs and kisses from angels, I played games and cared for them and they love me back. It is so fulfilling.
Makes me think to myself "I can't wait to be a mom and do this 24/7.
But about the dress... I got it from Zara, on sale. It was a little longer but shrunk a bit in the laundry. I like it because I love flower patterns and it is so comfy. Also, when I am at work and getting people dressed in the morning, showered or put them into their PJ's at night sometimes my pants start sagging... and I feel like a rapper... thats when it is nice to wear a dress like the one I wore today, because then no one can see my undies (the sagging pants is due to much moving around and bending down and standing up again and again... to put on socks and pants and shirts and blah... everything!).
Anyways, love the dress... and my brother for taking my picture for me :D I have decided I should give some credit to the photographers on this project. Day 1: my brother M. Day 2: my friend M. Day 3: me. Day 4: my brother M.




E and I watched an episode of Gossip Girl today. I learned something.
Maybe I am holding on to the pain because I still love him and the pain is the only thing I have left.

But then I got home and checked my messages and realized... there are other fish in the sea.... and they are cool! So maybe its time to let go of the pain.

Day 3

I had work today, so I didn't really wear my dress for all that long at all! but I love the dress I wore. I got it from my sister in law not too long ago. While wearing it, I helped my brother by doing some sound work for a short film he is working on. I might post a link to it when he puts it on youtube.






I am super tired right now... and when I am super tired I am usually more emotional and all that. Right now I feel fine though, but I know I am thinking about things more than I should. I still don't understand what just happened. I still don't know when or how I will be able to fully let go. Sometimes I wish I could turn back time and go to University somewhere else again. Anything to change who I meet or when I meet them. Would things be different then, or would I feel the same way about someone else? Was I supposed to go through this? Does it matter who was part of the program?
I realized how I felt on the 1st of April. What a terrible day. I wish he hadn't had a sense of humor that day, maybe things would be different then. Maybe I would be free.
