i'm begging, darling please...

Some days I wish I could wear this. Maybe in sticker or pin form? Haha....

It honestly doesn't bother me when people do... although it drew far too much attention on the first day of school. For years. A difficult last name combined with a song title.... talk about anxiety for this Layla.

vague and brief.

Yes. I'm not doing a very good job at this blogging thing.
No. I cannot promise that it will get better... but I shall try.

I suppose life has been a bit strenuous... and bustling right on by. A lot has happened, and yet I feel like I am lingering in a phase in life that I'm ready to be done with. Being an adult (and all that it entails) can be arduous... and trusting that it is all a part of God's wonderful plan for me can be... challenging? Sure. I don't know. I like to have life planned out and organized, and right now it is all hazy. Like a fog.
But I believe life will get better, and plans will become clearer... I just need to be patient.

So in a very vague and brief sort of way you have an update. Hah.

sometimes.

Sometimes I really miss my friends. And by sometimes I mean most all of the time.
I just miss having a social life, you know... random trips to Kalona or Des Moines, going to the dollar theater, garage sale-ing, making dinner together.... fellowship.

I miss Iowa City, and I miss Ames.
Blerg.

So this is how I handle it all...

Well not really all the time, hah.
Moral of the story (my life)? I am going to try my hardest to visit friends, soon.

indubitably part II.

Remember my last post? Yes, my very last post.
Well this is exactly how I feel about my in-flight beverage choice. Every time. Without fail.

Oh the oatmeal... you've got me again.

indubitably.

Sometimes I find things on the internet that describe me. 

Yeah, it just got real.

if you give a layla an avocado....

... she will make salsa with it.
Or more like she will go to Target and buy seemingly arbitrary (okay, not really) ingredients to toss in a bowl with said avocado.
But it will taste delicious.

So what's in it? You may ask....
-a couple avocados
-lime and cilantro rotel
-diced tomatoes with peppers
-onions
-lime juice
-cilantro
-corn
-black beans

Maybe I will post more on my culinary adventures......

native american ritual dancing wildness.

errr... not really.

But as a result of my new job I have found myself with feathered hair for the last few weeks. And by feathered I don't mean crazy eighties wildness... I literally mean I have feathers affixed to my hair.

See?

 

Don't judge me. 

Also, you want to know what Raleigh and I do when we hang out?

mustache cat. 

Yeah, he probably thinks I need a better hobby. Oh well....
