bonjour, bambi! i have a question for you...where do you store all of those fabulous dresses?

~sincerely, airstream dreamin' from north portland

💜

...

oh gosh...you are just so stinkin' fabulous for thinking miss airstream's dresses are fabulous!

i'll tell you the secret...but, shhhh! my trailer mama has an itsy bitsy teeny tiny closet. so, she stores her wardrobe under the bed, hanging in the shower, stuffed beside the toilet, hiding in cubbies over the dining table, above the stove & there are a few pieces hidden in the oven. don't worry, she doesn't use it.

she may look like an innocent 5'6 female with short brown hair & green eyes, wearing a white floppy hat & a floral off the shoulder blouse. but, she is guilty for bringing every single dress she has ever owned, on this crazy camping trip.

wait, we don't call it camping. we call it glamping {mostly for her because she lives in lala land}. trailer spot e6 usually has a girl standing outside in sequins & stilettos eating s'mores. {she prefers a wedge on most days, but i wanted those 3 words that start with s}.

i 💜 your question and spilling miss airstream's secrets! thank you for following our adventures & for laughing with us...we heart people like you, so come over and roast a marshmallow!

muah x2, bambi

{that is a kiss on each cheek, i'm practicing for paris}.

nearly every day for two weeks after signing on the dotted line, i spent mornings with my coffee and afternoons with my lunch...at the airstream dealership, learning every detail from him. i have no idea why he actually let me drive bambi off the lot. & i have no idea why he still answers my phone calls, although i can imagine they are entertaining.

good morning, young lady.

good morning, tom. {my airstream mechanic}. i thought my furnace ran off electricity & i'm plugged in......but there is no heat & i've been cold for 2 days.

missy, your furnace runs off propane. do you have any propane?

let me look, okay...both of the little arrows are red which means no. but, i just filled one tank. is there any way i could have used 7 gallons of propane in 2 days? i mean, i took a really long hot shower yesterday. could that have done it?

tom saves me & my airstream more often than he'll ever know. he taught me to drive her, back her up, hook her up, unhook her & how to fix her.

from oregon, he talked me thru tightening the hose to the propane tank on that early morning...after i had bundled myself up under 3 blankets & 17 pillows. i actually counted those pillows yesterday & that is not an exaggerated number.

what kind of woman has 17 pillows in a 19 foot rv. do you realize that is nearly a pillow for every foot from the front to the back of bambi. i know...this should be illegal. & if those pillows weren't to die for, i wouldn't have them. but they are. the end.

i have a tool box now. & i get grease on my hands. i fixed my stereo wires all by myself. i can refill my propane tanks & start a generator. i can back grand up to bambi & hook sway bars on like the best of em. i can adjust my trailer brakes. i can hook up water, sewer & electricity. i can put extension mirrors on & use them. i can downshift. i'm able to set my stabilizers & level her & put those little stoppy things behind her tires so i won't roll away.

that is everything i never thought i could do.

darling girl, you can do everything you never thought you could do, too. the aha.

{mom, it's me...bambi! how do you take all those pictures & make them that color & put those little bubbles of light on them?}

oh my bubbly bambi, i assumed you were going to ask me if we were lost again...so this question is such a sweet surprise! let me teach you!

i use my point & shoot sony rx100 for most of my pictures, but my iphone camera shoots well, too! i 💜 creating an image to go with the stories i write. so, i set up my stage {you} & fluff your sparkly pillows & re...-arrange your furniture & add accessories & if i'm in the pic, you know i must add my pearls, then i contour high cheek bones & add soft pink cinderella cheeks & over-lined candy yum-yum lips & the list goes on & on.

{girls, i 💜 watching kandee johnson on youtube for makeup tips!}

remember early last saturday morning, at 8:46am...when mr. trailer spot e7 & h1 & h3 walked by while i stood in that red gown with white gloves? i didn't tell you, but they all gladly volunteered to be our official photographer! yay us!

they were so adorable & sweet & me wearing red made them red.

i gracefully declined though & explained that i am a trained tripod & 10 second timer kinda girl. i'm not even embarrassed about my selfie skills because the alternative is only appropriate for a reality trailer park tv show.

my favorite part is the filtering & editing! i filter all my pictures on my iphone...and my favorite free applications are instagram, picfx & ecp photo. usually, i crop then brighten {insta or ecp} & add light {picfx}. then i post it with an adorable little story about this life & you.

bam, i 💜 your questions so keep em' coming!

someone enjoyed herself writing while under the influence of the bubbly last night.

it reminds me of the time {last summer}, when tana & i rode our bicycles to the martini bar & giggled the entire way home...peddling across the intersection pretending we were cars, with our arms out as blinkers. i giggled just like that, at myself, last night, writing while the men were rooting at the steakhouse. i love that giggle. it's the type that is real. so very real.

& i woke up to t...his darling vanity. today, is a day to dream. i've never been to paris, but someday...i'll go. i have to see that tower twinkle at night.

i 💜 dreams. the journey to the dream is a dream i didn't realize i had though. the moments that get you there, are some of the most beautiful & breathtaking moments i can remember experiencing.

wake up to everything you 💜 every
morning, because you have placed each & every one of those details in your life, with intention.

keep your promises to yourself & go give it everything you've got. our intention, my loves...is the aha on this blue sky, sunshine day.

i gave in. & champagne was calling my name tonight. i read that it's the easiest alcohol to digest. don't google that, because my source is very unreliable.

i'm sitting at a sophisticated steakhouse with a tall glass of bubbly. my cheesecake was just served with an entire bowl of fluffy whipped cream. i just about died. i've always wanted to order a grande whipped cream at starbucks, because i 💜 the way it sticks to the roof of my mouth. but, tonight...i hit the jackpot.

wh...ile i squeal inside for my dessert, the men around the bar squeal for a basketball team on the big screen. i squint to see who's playing...& i can't tell. i just know someone said north carolina & now confetti is falling.

there is a hunk dressed to the 9s next to me. & i'm still in my scrubs. perfect time to lick the cheesecake batter off my fork huh. he actually watches though. weirdo. but, he's ridiculously good looking with a pierced ear & crisp pink button up shirt. it's not shocking that he wasn't impressed by my lack of knowledge that there is some kind of championship game tonight. he left & i'm here to eat the whipped cream anyways.

omg. am i really going to post this.

{please laugh with me}.
