Sounds like love to me :)

I've recently discovered this awesome thing called spotify and I created my own playlist and here is a sample of what I've been listening to all day :)

Lots about love, but I can't get over Michael Buble. He is so dreamy, I mean look at his face! It's hard to look away- especially when he's serenading you with beautiful music from the computer screen. 

Ahhhh, "Just haven't met you yet!" 

P.s. I am doing a DIY dress shirt to skirt soon :) I'm excited. You should be too!

The Boy who Trapped the Sun

Good songs, and perfect for the mood I am in. Check them out.

:)

Have a wonderous day!

Little monsters are about!

Look at this little Sweetie :)

Absolutely made my week spending my weekend with this little Princess.

Men may be monsters

THis is the music I like to listen to after a hard day

Like waking up with only ten minutes until you have to leave

Or forgetting your track uniform

Or having a nosy boy tell you why and how your fish died in Marine Bio,

as if having dead fish isn't enough (And I still don't think he knows anything...)

Or standing in the rain for 5 hours with pruny toes

Yes.

This is good music that reminds me of feeling accomplished after my race

cuddling in the pouring rain with bestfriends during a track meet

dancing in the rain

looking forward to friday

and eating cookies at lunch

:)

Of Monsters and Men. This band just makes me giddy when I hear them, I love it so much! :)

What is your favorite band?

Wise Words

"One boy, one brain. Two boys, half of a brain. Three boys together- no brain at all." - My father.

This explains so much, the world makes sense again.

Sun, sun, the sun did come!

And I have proof.

Like every decent washingtonian, when I saw that long lost and dearly missed glimmer of light peeking in through my window in the early hours, I opened my eyes and questioned what it was.

Until, I finally remembered how each year during the summer I seemed to fleetingly meet this glowing orb, and it all came back to me. 

Seeing it again, I knew I had to live up to the standards of where I live and rush outside to catch a glimpse of this rare occurence, I must join the flocks of people coming out from their hiding places to see this wonderful thing before it leaves them in the dark, dreary clouds again!

Okay, okay-

so I might exagerate a little bit, but the sun kind of is a big deal here in Feburary. And I did react like a true and decent washingtonian by donning a summer dress, boat shoes and going to the beach (to tan my cheeks) in the 50 degree weather. Ahhh, the sun was so nice and warm on my numb hands.

So, to document this wonderous day I took pictures of lovely Miss Sperry.

We had fun.



What a babe...



And we found clay babies

We couldn't NOT have a jumping photo!

I be Bowlin' all day, er'day

My friend Charlie showed me this one :)

Got more than a few laughs out of me.

Therefore, I think it's simply lovely and a little more than dorky.

enjoy!

The chilly side of life

There's something about snow that makes me happy. I think it's the having the chance to miss school, dress up in warm cloths, throw snowballs at each other and maybe even some hot chocolate and snuggling. Snow makes bearing the cold worthwhile with every unique ice crystal that falls from the trees. It stirs up life and creates change in the continuous cycle of everyday life. It's the time when we get to use up the firewood and break out the scarves and tacky snow gear we've stored all year. Even the birds come out to find little caches of seeds stored in the spring. It brings my family together, even when we don't want to, as we stick close to the warmth of the fire in our family room. Snow is not seen often. So, I think it's a great gift for January :)

 

                                These are just some pictures I took at the beach the other day, and I forgot to

                                 include them in an earlier post so here they are.

                                                                    

                                                                           :)

To the music , I say!

You know that music where you think to yourself wow, that is kind of really strange and you don't exactly know how you feel about it? Your heads saying "THIS IS SO COOL" but  also telling you "What in the world...?"

Well, that is what initially occurred to me when I found this video/song.

But in the end, it was really the "THIS IS SO COOL" that stood out to me.

:)

This is a little strange at first, but it's really cool. I wish I could be artsy like this.

P.s. Look at his eyes! They are quite attractive.

Can everyone think like this? :) It'd be wonderful if they did.

To be Thankful

Feasting Day.

Yes, it was here.

Thanksgiving.

And, as it was Thanksgiving, and I didn't post on that day I thought I might as well continue my post about all the things I'm thankful for, even if it is a day or two late.

I have a million and one things to be thankful for.

I am thankful for my family, the crazy, crazy, and awkward family I have. But as weird as they are, they're my kind of weird.

I am thankful for bestfriends. Together we come up with the best bad ideas, make the best waffles and have the best random dance parties ever. Bestfriends make my life a happier place and it wouldn't be nearly as exciting without them. 

(P.s. Happy 18th Birthday to one of my bestfriends, on last Wednesday :) )

I am thankful for my sister. She is my little big sister, quite literally as she 4 inches shorter than me and three years older. While we do get in little fights and bicker like an old married couple she will forever be my role model and gives the best advice. We've been through a lot but I wouldn't trade those memories of getting dislocated elbows, watching harry potter and being book nerds together for anything. :)

Done.
With the sappy things, that is.

Okay, now that I've shared the sappy things I am thankful for I can address the other, not so sappy things that most of us are thankful for but won't always say.

Let's be honest here.

I am thankful for T.V.  For without it, there would be no family night laughing at The Office, or Sienfeld, or Modern Family.

I am thankful for cookbooks. I know that sounds odd, but I would be lost without them. If they didn't exist I would probably be eating Ramen noodles and cereal for the rest of my life.

I am thankful for bathrooms. Yes, bathrooms. As a runner and avid participant in various camping and hiking trips, I know that a bathroom, even a Sandy Can or Honey Bucket (most of the time) beats peeing in the bushes. True Fact.

I am thankful for waffles. As I mentioned before, I am not the most creative at cooking and waffles are an easy breakfast I make almost everyday. In fact, I am eating one right now. And it's delicious. 

I am thankful for bobby pins. I have this hair that's got a nice cowlick on the right side of my head that deems my hair always to be messy and in my face, without bobby pins I would look something like Cousin It from the Adams family and probably wouldn't have any friends.

I am thankful for dictionary.com because of all the interesting things I learn from it. Like did you know a cowleech is really a cow doctor, one who heals the diseases of cows? Well now you do. And it's all thanks to dicitonary.com. You're welcome.

I am thankful for fingers and hands. Have you ever thought about what it would be like without them? I have. And you would just have nubs. Little nubs that you couldn't pick things up with, or really use unless you had to wack someone. And even then that's unpractical! So, I am thankful for fingers and hands because they allow us to hold hands, pick up mugs full of hot chocolate, greet people and express yourself.

I am thankful for couches, because sitting on the floor would just be awkward in large groups all the time.

And, lastly (but not really because I have sooooo much more to be thankful for), I am thankful for winter. Without winter there'd be no Christmas which is just around the corner and I'M SO EXCITED. :)

So, I honestly am thankful for all the sappy and meaningful things in my life, but I am also thankful for the little things. 

What are you thankful for?

Toasty Tuesdays... at least in peacoats, anyway

Four reasons why this Tuesday was awesome:

1. Hot chocolate with bestfriends

2. Wearing peacoats in chilly weather

3. Simply lovely beaches

4. Meeting random but very kind and funny strangers with dogs named Billy.

Yeah, so this is what my best friend and I do with our free time on Tuesdays. Wear matching peacoats and take pictures on the beach in cold November weather. Fun Fun Fun. :)

Yes. Our buttons DO match.

This Weeks Happy

The past few weeks have been quite odd for me. Stress, confusion, messy bedrooms, strange phone calls and hearing my science teacher's voice saying "Peas and carrots!" over and over in my head, but in the mess I managed to create and terrify myself with there was definitely some happiness in it. So, here are a few of the happy things or people that are happy in my life and have been in the past  bizarre week 

This kid is fan-flippin-tastic. He practically makes my day everyday :) What a champ.

Fun new hairdos.

I am in love with peaunut butter and jelly sandwiches. I love love LOVE them! I don't know why.They're just so dang delicious, but all my friends look at me crazy when I get excited to eat my PB&J. I have a theory that involves me being deprived of their goodness as a child...

(I feel so unoriginal having to use an image from google, but I promise as soon as I get a new camera I will be as original as humanly possible!)

ORANGE JUICE. I like it. I love it. I can't possibly have more of it.

And of course, The Office. This show never fails to make me laugh.

Jim : "It's a crime fighting beaver..."
