Top o the mornin to ya

So I had a kind of a boring St. Patrick's day. I went to work and spent the rest of the night in slippers! and dont worry I wore green

Here's the kick off...

Im posting alot today but Im trying to catch up with the pictures from this weekend. We were next to a K car when we were getting gas on the way back to huntsville...I got excited

Let them eat cake

So we went Monday morning to try and pick out a cake and I just couldnt find the strength to make the decision just yet so I am going to deliberate this week. We did have a good time trying the cake...I think that might be the reason for my lack of decison. I think I may need to try some more before I can make a decision : )

okay so my decision is between the two next pictures. Two completly different cakes so its hard to choose! Also note that these were both fake examples and my cake will look different than these and well....real

if anyone reads this, what do you think? I think I might be leaning more towards the roses now

playing Ketchup

I went home this past weekend and the weather couldnt be more beautiful. I got use to the nice spring weather and you can imagine my disappointment when I got back here and it was gloomy

The sun's in my heart

So I went to a private school my entire life and have worn saddle oxfords for as long as I can remember. I found my shoes from highschool in my closet last night and thought they might be trendy now. I mean oxfords are everywhere so why not...any thoughts? Am I just trying to relive highschool or are these actually kind of awesome?

Sunny with a high of 75

The weather was so perfect yesterday. I told kyle that if I could marry weather I would have married it yesterday so it would be with me for the rest of my life. It was that good. We ended it with a bon fire....who dosent love a good phone pic?

Spring?

Shoe Sale

After about ten years of looking and bidding on ebay I am going to try and be a seller for the first time! Wish me luck

21 days to build a habit

Lets hope it dosent take the sun that long

Juicy

Ode to an Orange

Little Orange! But big with Bright;

Let us taste Your juicy Light

Round and Smooth, exact with care;

Quarter'd, or Halv'd, equally Fare

Ev'n Juic'd! A taste refin'd and pleas'd

Upon your sight, Taste Buds seize

With a sour and sweet, beautifully met,

As if, directly to my soul, or appetite, you have whet.

Althought colors of Auburn, or Tennessee,

Your nectar is a truth-filled treaty,

An unchoosing, blindfolded light,

Encapsulated by your Rhine;

Orange, and Bright

Valentine's Dayish

So this is a day late but......I dont have a good excuse. In all honesty I didnt do much for Kyle for Valentines but I tried to channel my DIY self and make him something. I had ran across this blog post awhile back and  told myself "hey I can do that" and even though it was really simple I was very proud of my stitching skills
this was my source twig & thistle and dont judge me cause her letter looks way better than mine!

Sew nice

I have been working on a little project

Pairing, Serrated and steak

      
So tonight we went to register at Bed Bath and Beyond and saying we were excited about it would be an understament. We felt like two kids in toys r us except with a scanner and a camera. An older couple laughed at us for taking pictures but I bet they dont have amazing pictures of when they registered! Kyle was more excited about the fancy knives while I was just excited about everything especially the plastic container organizers.

Nonsense

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?"
-Alice in Wonderland

the rain in spain

So blogger is being stubborn so I guess ill write in the middle...happy now blogger? Anyways, I feel like all it has done is rain lately. It got me thinking today about raincoats and well, my lack of one, unless you count my limited too jacket that you should be jealous of. I havent upgraded because nobody makes adorable raincoats anymore, atleast to my standards. My mom use to have a green reversible one from the 80's that she gave away years ago and I cant seem to find one that comes close to being as cute as that one was. I feel like a raincoat should be colorful, reversible, and contain animals on it. Nobody makes these little jewels anymore and if I had better sewing skills I would have a gold mine on my hands! Even these photos I posted I had to look all over the internet for an hour to find. If you know of anywhere to find one of these PLEASE let me know..im done ranting now

P.S. I did find one at the thrift store the other day with whales on it but it had a hole in it so I didnt get it

P.P.S I forgot to source where I did find these....sorry

A very important date

laundry day

So I didnt take this picture today. I thought I would be honest cause I dont think I could fool anyone by claiming to have taken a sunny picture of a european church on a rainy day in Huntsville. I am already predicting today to be rather lazy so Im posting a picture that I took this summer....I want to go on a vacation!

When royals wore ruffles

Today has been a dreary day but the bright spot was my new shirt that I wore today...who dosent love ruffles!?

Not to be confused with

So this is clearly not a post from Kyle this time. We went to Mobile this weekend and got alot of wedding items checked off of our list and one of the biggest was the dress. I cant take credit for taking any of these pictures I just edited them but I felt like this is how my mind was all weekend....confusion

just to note, none of these were the actual dress

Off the cuff (part deux)

I literally just wrote this. Probably why its so bad.

I am slacking
wracking my brain
for something I may never
career-itise

prioritize
needs to be my main concern.
But I am also sleepy
and tired,
and have serious thoughts
about the current condition
of Calvinism
and democracy
and the free market.

These need to be considered.

So as I struggle to finish this
damn thesis
I cannot help but think upon things such as these,
and then
suddenly
freak out because I am never going to do anything with my life.
