Super Mario Ghost

Happy Halloweeeeeeen all of you!

I handed out these goodies today they were so easy to make!  That last one reminds me of Mario (as in, Kart - Mario Kart) 

Where did my weekend go?

Hi everyone! I hope every stinking ONE of you had a rad weekend.  The Gator's lost but my Knights won -- they beat Memphis 41-0.  Nilch. Enye. Nada. ZIp.  I can't even handle how good they are this season :) Here’s the nail polish I used to kick off the w/e in stal (aka: style).  Neutral and a bit on the alien-esque side.  Perfect timing for Halloween.  Happy Halloween-eve ya’ll!

Baby Steps

I did something kind of monumental today: I dressed myself in something other than sneakers, Nike shorts and top before 5pm!  

While most people get dressed in the morning -- I've been getting dressed after 5.  As much fun as my two-week break has been from school, my school friends went home and my out-of-school-but-now-I-have-a-job friends couldn’t play until after 5.  Thus, the no dressing before 5 rule was born. 

Since I’ve been on hiatus from this whole dressing thing, it'll be baby steps from here on out. I mean, jeans and a tank top??  Can only go up from there.   

We Love to Party!

I wish every night could be as fun as my sister’s engagement party. Most of our closest friends and family were able to make it and it was just a special night of dancing, chatting, but mostly, for celebrating K & C.  After 10 years of dating, Casey has become more of an older brother than juuuust “my sister’s boyfriend” and I know I could count on him for anything.

I’m pretty sure they know this but when it was my time to make a speech {ugggh I hate public speaking} I didn’t mention any of it; instead, I said exactly what I had told myself over and over again not to say.  Go figure!!  Therefore, I am going to try to be more prepared for the real speech I’ll be making in August.   

Anyways there are so many pictures I wanted to add today but I chose some of my favorites!  

Granddaddy, dad, and Casey's dad looking snazzy

Mom {bottom far right} and her friends

The boys and bff Lauren 

Katherine {in red} and all the bridesmaids!!

Casey, Casey's mom, and Katherine

Reacting to my speech...good or bad I can't tell!? How beautiful are they!!

Jillian Schmillian

On Friday day my weekend plans were looking pretty depressing and I was feeling like a loser.  But {dun dun dun dunn} my weekend turned out great and I was able to spend quality time with some amazing friends.  LOVE weekends like that J

Also, it turns out yours truly is the hot ticket pet-sitter.  For the next month I’ll be staying with Bea.  I've been walking her about 3-4 x's a day.  Pf yeah.  And that's not all...look how fast we’re chugging along!  Who needs Jillian Michaels when you've got Bea.  

Show & Tell

I've been going ba-na-nas for this piece after I saw it on pinterest.  Isn't it wonderful and perfect for brightening up a plain white wall? {Yep, those ^^ walls are white} But with a price-tag of $130 and so many tutorials on the web, I thought it would be a perfect project posting {eat your little alliterated heart out, Courtney Stodden}.  Let me just say, I am beyond shocked that I actually finished this instead of stuffing it in a closet 1/2-way through.  THIS IS HUUUGE FOR ME!!

But be warned, this is definitely a project that takes a while.  It took me a few days and 7 or 8 Dawson Creek re-runs to complete.  So, if you don't have the time to make it or DIY just ain't your thang...but you, like me, can't live without it...you should definitely check out Confetti System and all of their other beautiful pieces.

Also, my older sister and roommate is engaged to her HS sweetheart and getting married in August '12.  This weekend was her engagement party and pics are to come!!

Senior.

It’s finals week and gosh do I have a bad case of senioritis.  Thankfully, a friend showed me this video today and it has been inspiring, to say the least.  If I imagine the boy saying “FINANCE” instead of “bike” I might get through this week.
