smoothielicoius

again i created a word. maybe i should write to Webster and have them put it in the dictionary. any who, i made a smoothie. a healthy one, that everyone would enjoy. i was babysitting this weekend, and instead of making the kids run around outside in the freezing cold weather. i decided to entertain them with smoothies and iCarly...

he took 6 sips...'eh errrric-a...it dirty...crunchy...i done...'

bright end of the spectrum

it was cold...freezing.

last night i was creeping on myself, looking through old blog posts. did you know creeping on yourself is the worst out of all creeping? it is, myself told myself that, and obviously i'm always right. so back to my story, yeah i noticed i've been so obsessed with white pants lately. it made me want to dye them all different colors. i'm not kidding folks, i almost did. then i found these babies way back behind some more white pants in my closet! i found them thrifting a couple weeks back. brand stinkin' new j. crew orangeinsanecolored pants. (yeah, that's a word)

any who i was supposed to pick up ali from the airport on wednesday then her flight was cancelled. then i hoped to pick the little sunshine up on thursday morning, wah wah wah cancelled. thanks tornados, thanks a lot, way to totally push back my summer play time even more. ok, i'm getting obnoxious i'm leaving.

room make over

i adore black furniture- it really does go with everything. Pier1 always has the best selection.

TOMS overload...going on 10 pairs...a little glutton of me.

i usually sort my colors, but this time i did my type of shirt...nice blouses..long sleeves...summery shirts...button ups..

dresses can sometime take over a bit- i always put more than one dress on a hanger.

okay so this little hanger thing was actually a curtain hold back, i got creative. 

made use of my high school paintings...momma hung them up.

tall dresser- best furniture decision i have ever made. fits almost anywhere. 

technically this isn't a real make over, but since my room is rarely clean and organized, i'll call it a make over. so yeah, this whole post is about how i managed to unpack, organize, and keep it clean for now 3 days. you think i'm crazy don't you? guys, my room has always been a mess. even since i can remember, it's been a mess. my mom and dad used to help me clean it, then sometimes my mom would just clean it for me, hoping it would be a fresh start and praying i would just keep it up- didn't happen.my best friend makaela, used to be the friend that had seriously the cleanest room ever, me naw...bless her heart she would actually help me clean it. i'm known on both sides of my family for being messy, i think it's because i don't think a messy room makes you the person you are. sure when things are put together, you find items easier and it looks nice, but really why does the world insist our room stay clean?

any who, it's clean, and i'm going to try and keep it this way. i'ts been nice being home from school, i haven't done a lot- in fact iv'e done nothing. i take my pups on walks, we share baskets of blueberries, and bask out in the sun. (well we did that today...) i created a resume, because the job hunting needs to start asap. i'll share tat a little later on this week. oh and guess what???? ali comes home tomorrow! i'm so so so excited for her to get in. kaitlyn, nicole, and myself are all going to go pick her up at the airport! so excited for everyone to be home, sucha  great feeling!

here's the progress on my room; i need to get some window coverings...whatcha think?

total bed models huh?

have a fabulous day.

jumbles

since spring is coming to an end, and summer is about to sweep us off our feet (for those who hate the heat) this means graduation parties are in full force. saturday i went to my cousin's graduation party. snack plates, vegetable tables, oh and punch.

besides parties and punch, i have actually been quite productive this weekend. i unpacked and organized my whole room. i was impressed with myself, because in all honesty-i love weekends when i do absolutely nothing.

cleaning my closet or in this case stocking my closet, makes me realize how many clothes i truly have. its kind of gross- did i just describe my quantity of clothing as gross? yeah i did....weird.

cool eye brows?........

i took it, my last drive home from san luis obispo. it was weird, and sorta emotional. i'm not too sure why i got teary eyed walking out of that 2 bedroom, small, tan apartment of mine. i spent so much of the year wanting to leave and conching some excuse to get the heck outta there just for a weekend. but this place was special, it was my first home away from home. a lot happened there, and i'm glad i chose to live there.

my last night was filled with wine, laughs, and tears. the perfect ingredient for any occasion if you ask me. the next morning we had lunch at panera. it was delicious. 

thank you kallie and vanessa for making it a year i'll never forget. 

i miss you guys

brendt made this year bearable- and for that i thank him

bye bye, see you in august for a deep cleaning.

I'M DONE

(Shirt:Gap. Jeans:Sevens for all Mankind. Shoes:Target. Jacket:Ross.Shades:Borrowed. Wallet: Hobo)

with school! my first year of college is complete! can you believe it? yeah i can't either, its just a surreal feeling. this year was not easy-at all. not only was college itself difficult, but altering my relationships with people-and let me just say distance is just a length. if you don't let it, it wont change anything. just sayin'.

so its summer-let the nonsense and totally obsessive behavior with my friends begin. you have no idea how excited i am to be around the people who get me. i think that was one of the weirdest things about going away. the humans that get your humor, bad jokes, constant sarcasm, and that share your same values are truly irreplaceable. 

so here is to the summer of 2011!

i celebrated my last night in San Luis Obispo, with dinner-not just any dinner, ribs. my golly i love those things. i looked like a complete fool, i tell you.

p.s 

      (i was talking on the phone with grandma...working out weekend plans.)

a cake stand for my mom

this is me eating a cookie. when i walked up to this store these were sitting there, i didn't know if they were edible. i took a chance. i was searching for a cake stand for my momma, which would be her mother's day present. i found one if you're wondering. and that cookie was good.

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms out there; and to all of you who hope someday to raise a couple of miracles yourself.

i can't wait to have a family someday. it has always been my dream to have a little girl. a little one to teach manners to, hold with a special touch, and to nurture until i'm gone. when i think of a little girl of my own someday, i think of bows, little nightgowns with pink hearts, flowery bedspreads, the smell of baby lotion, sweet soft skin, messy morning hair as she climbs up to the table for Saturday breakfast, but most of all i think of the love a little girl has to offer. the endless amount  of laughs and tears that both come because of happiness. i thank my mom from the bottom of my heart, for raising me with such a strong nature. to look beyond flaws in someone, giving me the courage to give people second chances, but most of all saying 'i love you' when you should. 

so today, thank you mom, for all you do. not my life or anyone else's could amount to what i owe you.

xoxo

i'm on my way back to school. wah wah wah. only 3 more weeks though, and i couldn't be more excited. i must say after having this spring break, it lead me picturing my whole summer, add in 3 more people, some warmer weather, possibly a pool, and of course a job. woah did i just say that? a job? yeah people, my mom finally put her foot down, time for me to get one of those, a job. i have never had a job, besides babysitting a crap load of kids. i'm kinda excited though, okay maybe i should stop talking about it, i may jinks myself.

have you noticed how i've worn this necklace like a ton lately? it's my new favorite! the real cool thing about it too is that, you can wear to 2 way: high and low...


do you like these shoes? i do. mother bought them for me 2 weekends ago. i think they are the perfect little, "throw on wedge." you can dress up any outfit, even a rag of a get-up, just add a little wedge. i could have totally wore a flat, and called it a day. but since i was going to a funeral, i thought i should spice up the day a little. yes a funeral, and yes i looked like i was celebrating spring with this look, who made black a symbol of funeral anyways? (i don’t know if this whole paragraph is completely uncalled for...)

Cool oil pan brother...

it's monday folks, do yo thang and let's move on to tuesday...

little brother

he will never know how much i love him. i've known the dude for 17 years and 3 months exactly, that's a real long time. when i first saw him, i didn't know what he was, he was just some "new kid" that came busted my bubble. the attention was gone from me, and now to this little dude. some say i was mean, scratching, hitting, leaving bruises, on him; basically doing whatever i could to make him cry. (yes i was a devil child...most say) then we grew up, and my love for him grew, into a more "i need to watch over him" kinda thing, and it stuck. he usually says i yell at him, but i only want him to be the best he can. he's grown into such a great young man so far, and has really come a long way. i love my little brother.


so obviously me making him drive me to an antique store and thrift store today was a sign of total love. he thinks thrift stores are dumb...guess where the little booger is getting his Christmas present this year...?


he was a trooper. that's all that really matters.

oh hay-to the 9th flannel in my wardrobe
