{hooray}

I would like to thank my sister-in-law, Jenna, for nominating me with this lovely little bloggy award. Now the award calls for 7 interesting things about me, though I talk way too much about myself as it is. But here we go!

1. I have a pretty good memory. I can recall things back when I was a wee little 4 year old. 

2. I used to be something of a beach bum growing up and secretly miss sun bathing. {sun bathing and I have been broken up for years. }

3. I grew up on a horsey farm and one day while I was warming up a horse, I got bored and started trick riding for fun whilst the adults were not watching. 

4. I once pretended a gooey bean from my soup was a booger and chased my little sister around the house with it. {priceless }

5. I used to be a gamer. As in, 15 hours later I finally defeated Bongo Bongo so that Link could prevail. My favorite games were Zelda, Tomb Raider, Cruisin USA, Mario Kart {of course! } James Bond, and some random car racing one we called "The Bug Game."

6. I've never had my eyebrows waxed 

7. And I'm co-planning a baby shower for the first time! Woot. {really fun. }

Now I'm supposed to nominate some of my favorite bloggers too but I'm out of time at the moment, so until next time!

{long time, no blog}

Hey everyone!

Okay, so I think the blog-o-sphere has died. I know I sure haven't felt like blogging or commenting lately for some mysterious reason. Anyways, I just wanted to post about 2 things.

1. I just went running. For the second time this week. Pain. I suck at running. Never, ever –even at the height of my physical awesomeness body (snort) –have I ever felt good running. Does anyone else know what I mean? I never get a runners "high," I never feel like I can do the mind over matter thing and "keep going." I always feel like death is upon me with every step. Literally. Sometimes I imagine what the papers will write, "Girl Dies. From Running. Yup. Just running. Wow." 

So anyways. I just want to complain today about running. Because I'm obviously allergic to it and I was wondering if anyone else is too. Awesome.

2. And lastly, I thought I liked my blog look, but I don't. It's boring. I was going for the "Anthropologie" look but I couldn't pull it off. Anyways, it's time for a new design. 

Cheers to those of you who are still alive in the blog world!

{the 5 things I'm lovin!}

This hair: {the alllllways pretty–evangeline lilly}

This kid: {Justin Beiber–he's 15 and he says "shawty." Brilliant}

This blouse: {It's called–Vanilla Bean Blouse–and it of course comes from Anthropologie.

Is there a cuter garment out there? I mean really... 

This bedroom decor: {My heart literally gasped when I saw this–

maybe more like a squishy sputter but still!}

And lastly: {The Vampire Diaries is back on!}

So what are you lovin right now?!

{my song}

{this is a college assignment I recently dug up titled, 'my song." my 21 year-old self wrote this:}

find peace in knowing who you are;

within that peace never fear mistakes;

never be afraid to change course;

forgive easily and understand completely;

be thoughtful, wise and noble–even if it goes out of style;

laugh loudly, breath deeply, dance freely

and love without inhibitions.

{my 23 year-old self says: rock on.}

{if your still lost...}

I know I know I KNOW! I'm going a little Lost crazy, but I'm keeping myself pumped for the premiere on Feb. 2 coming up, and I found this video and thought it was SUPERB. It's the ENTIRE 5 seasons of Lost, in 5 minutes-done hysterically. It's legit. And helpful for those who have always been like...what is this whole "Lost" obsession about anyways? 

Welp-you're about to find out. Cheers!

{the return of tooley tuesdays}

Since it's safely "after christmas" I thought I'd premiere Tooley's first christmas card. {if your wondering what she's thinking it has something to do with that red bulb...and getting it.} 

Happy Tooley Tuesday!

{lost and found part II}

If you love Lost, then your going to die laughing at this. And if you don't know anything about Lost, you'll still get some mighty giggles from this hilarious skit of Lost on Ellen. I have watched this 4,089 times and it just slays me every time. Enjoy my fellow fans!

{lost and found}

It's been awhile since my last post and I feel like there was a shift in the universe or something–some changes are being made within the mushy areas of my soul thingy. But, that being said and obscure–I'm guessing 2010 will be bringing some crazy cool developments. We'll see.


Anyhoots, I cannot do this blog justice without sharing my new obsessions that have no doubt played a part in the wishy washy intro.























Lost: I'm on the bandwagon 6 years late, but I'm caught up for the final season. And I'm in love. But not with the characters. I'm mad at you all for thousands of reasons, but mostly because your all retards. And for those of you who love/hate this show too, I want you to know I have the answer to the ENTIRE series and it's countless mysteries:


COMMUNICATION!!!


If everyone had sat in circle, sang Kumbaya, and spilled their entire life stories and everything they'd ever seen/thought/heard/pondered since the crash they'd have been good. to. freaking. go. 


No joke. I should be on that show. 


Lastly, Avatar:

I keep watching these survival, jungle shows and movies so I'm feeling very one with nature lately. It's weird. But as the world can attest–Avatar is stunning. And I kind of have a crush on a blue alien man. {ain't no shame.}


That's it for now. My life has been nothing but Lost and Avatar as of late–so I am officially and irreversibly: a cool nerd :)


Okay–maybe just a nerd. 

{bye bye blonde}

So after much thought and consideration, I put the last 2 1/2 years of blonde behind me and went for a change. And I love it! I'm still getting used to the reflection in the mirror but my eyebrows are rejoicing for sure! Here are some pictures. {I wore the same shirt as my blog pic on purpose for comparison and try as I might to get Tooley to reenact that pose on my hand, my pythons aren't that strong. She's a lot beefier then the scrawny little kitten she once was. *tear* Anyways, hope you like the change too!

{oh, christmas tree}

As promised, here are some pictures of our christmas tree in full. {I just need to get going on the presents under the tree part}

{tooley thursday: glamour shots}

I know I know, I missed Tooley Tuesday this week...but I come bearing Tooley gifts! I took a pretty awesome glamour shot of her the other day {cuz I have that kind of time.} Anyways she look fabulous right?! I think it's about time I get her an agent–you can really go places with a face like this!

{it's officially warm fuzzy territory}

We did it!

"It" being Richard and I – coaxed out of our Scrooge ways by our besties the marshalls – got our first real {not fake} Christmas tree! And when I say real, I mean huffin it around the out doors, picking one and cutting it down ourselves. It was fantastic. And we documented the whole thing – yes ma'm. Let us begin:

frump pose!

no idea what is happening. 

marshalls win at life!

we finally found our soul tree! and then killed it.

the unveiling. tooley made sure she was near for approval.

{warm fuzzies}

she thought it was a little to the left, but otherwise interesting.

we had professionals decorating :)

cranberries & popcorn crew!

two photographers = shifty eyes, but we're still rockin it around the christmas tree. especially me in that hat.

So all in all, when people claim having a real tree is the way to go, it's because it's truth. It was fun. Now all we need to do is wrap empty boxes to help the tree feel justified in it's embellished death. You know, like a Macys Christmas tree–all their presents are totes empty for show. More pics to come!

{representn' wolves}

So I found something so awesome, I of course had to sing it and make a tard out of myself just to express my love for it in full. So here is a video I made representn' Team Jacob using his gf's song. I didn't write the lyrics, just changed some words here and there! Oh, and I think this is the first time I've ever done a "vlog" so howdy! that's me. And I'm not ashamed to say, I'm like this all the time! haha.

lyrics:

you're in the woods with your vampire, edward cullen

he's always whining and complainin, he's so sullen
he doesn't get your human, like I do

i'm at the gym, it's a typical tuesday night
lifting the kind of weights he doesn't like
and he'll never know your family like i do

but he sparkles, and i'm so hairy
he's so sexy, but I'm so scary
dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
that you hate vampires and love canines

-i'm the wolf who understands you
been here all along
why can't you see
you belong with me, you belong with me

hangin out in Forks, while he's in Italy
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
howlin at the moon, thinking to myself
hey, isn't Ed sleazy?!

and you've got a beauty that can light up this whole town
haven’t seen it since he brought those cullens around
You say you’re fine, I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a sucker so wack?

He’s so pale, I’m so tan
He’s kinda femmy and I’m all man
Dreaming bout the day when you’ll wake up and find
that you hate vampires and love canines

If you could see that I’m the wolf who understands you
I’m down on all fours, so why can’t you see?
You belong with me

{tooley tuesday: reaction to new moon}

Tooley has been raving over New Moon lately, so I had to take some pictures of her gossiping with her friendz about it all. {she's too cute–we're both team jacob of course.}

(2 hours later...)

{team jacob and jimmy}

In celebrating the opening of New Moon-I present you with this clip of Taylor. I cannot stop laughing, so I thought I must share this with everyone else-enjoy!! "it's just gonna be awkward..." bahaha.
