Name day Love

Just one day left with....
This has gone by so quickly! I love the idea's of daily posts, but doing it for a whole month is way to long. 14 days is the perfect amount of time, I have enjoyed doing this! Hopefully, you haven't been bored out of your mind. I told you right from the start, it wouldn't be rocket science.

Today's, I'm more or less merging a celebration and 14 things post. So groovy! For almost my entire life, I have wanted to change my name. I have always loved names and I was never satisfied with my own. Now, I like my name lots. What I wanted to name myself was always changing. I remember one time I went on a trip with the cousins and the whole trip I was obsessed with the name "Terra Rose" (which, by the way, I don't really like now!) By the end of the trip I was completely sick of it and started liking the name Jadyn. Now I just have a few names swimming around my brain that I like. And they are...

Faya
Pippa
Amity
Camilla
Essie

Did I mention I like kinda funky names? Its always been my thing. And then, I like really classic middle names like Margret, Elizabeth, Kathryne and Grace. I would pick any of those names if I had to rename myself. I like all those bunches.

And one more thing! Your soap opera name! Okay, I honestly don't know what Soap Opera's have to do with this, but I guess if you find yourself in the middle of a soap opera and need a name, this is the one you should use. To make your soap opera name, Make your 1st name your Middle name and then your last name the first street you lived on. Some can be really neat! Of course, you may want to substitute your last name for something else if you first lived on a highway or something. "Elsie Highway 76" may not be dramatic enough for a soap opera. But I'm just saying.

I love names. Maybe even Terra Rose.

Big Girl Camera love.

I love my big girl camera like no body's business. It was the best big investment I have ever made. And also the first. Of course I have more terrible photos than good ones, but when I do get a good one the first words I say are "I love my camera." Without fail. 100% of the time. And 2 months after having it, I finally decided to break out the instruction manual to some stuff out. I didn't figure anything out, but I learned a lot of useless info.

By the way.I love my camera. Amen.

Bubble Gum.

Obviously we love bubbles here - after all, we got a puppy named bubbles! I gave Emily some bubble gum for her birthday. (I am such a kind friend!) Well, turns out she and I both LOVED it. We love blowing bubbles. A whole lot.
Big bubble love.Emily's first bubble! A modest one, but no doubt a great start.

PS: I love my camera.
PPS: I hear an ice cream truck.

Best Friend Love

Today I get to go to a birthday party!! I usually get nervous going to parties, but this is my bff we are talking about. Today (and most every other day) I love my best friends. I have a few, if you remember me telling you on Best Friends day the first. So Emily, here ya go!

Bigness and Longess

I've been a slacker I admitted it and now we are moving right along. Rather than do 3 post for my 14 things I love, I'm just going to combine them all into one. I like things to be tidy.

Day 7: Baking with no dishes love
Bakery story is a fun little app that I only play around Valentines day. You open up your bakery and then bake away! I love all the treats you can make. And, NO DISHES!! You can make stuff and no dishes. I have to repeat it because it is extremely glorious. Of course, the fact that you can't eat it is not so great but whatever. No dishes= Love There is really not much to this game, but I totally love it. And I like Apps that make toast. Maybe I'm a little crazy? Nah....

Day 8: Emma Love (make it obsession.)
Okay, you knew this one was coming. I love Emma to the moon and back and back again. I smile through the entire movie (yes, even after I've watched it 7 billion times). There is just something uber wonderful about Emma. Maybe it's the English accents. Maybe it's the gorgeous gowns. Maybe because the men were actually Gentlemen. It might even be the fact that I am in love with their couches ( hmm, not sure couches is the "proper" term.) Also, Emma and I have a lot in common. We both talk too much and are way to nosy.

Basically, you have to go watch the BBC Emma this very second. Go!!!

On second though, hang around till you finish reading this post. Then you can go fall in love with Emma.

Day 9: Endearment Love.

The last one is Endearing terms, also known as terms of endearment. Believe me, I give everything and one a nickname. Tubs is a prime example, here is a sampling of hers:
Tubby
Pumpkin
Butternut Squash (please, don't ask.)
Miss Moon Eyes
Pudgeulator (these are not even words!)
Sophster
Punk
Punkadilly

You get the point. I also have a bunch of nicknames. My dad gave me most of them, I sort of follow in his foot steps with this whole thingy. Dad named a pillow case after Shaun Cassidy. I've been looking for Shaun for a while now. I'm still hunting for that purple piece of satin.

Thank you for suffering through this immense post. Remember your orders? Good, now be a good little kiddlet and obey!

Journal love.

I love writing.

I like sharing my thoughts, opinions and ideas. I like writing things down. I adore making lists. I think snail mail letters are the greatest. I like blogging because its fast. I just plain love communicating.

Today is about journals because....of course, I love them!Apparently I like floral/damask print journals.

I love writing things down. The main reason I do it is so that when I'm a cool adult I can remember things about my childhood. I don't want to forget a single thing. So I write everything down and then some. I also have a prayer journal, bible verse journal (hopefully, you'll see more of this stuff soon) blog/craft journal and journal that mom and I share.

So today because its nearly valentines day, and because that has nothing to do with it, because I love journals and because I love you, you get to peek in my diary! For AHG, I had to keep a journal for 3 months. Of course, I already had a journal (diary, whatever.) so I just copied sentences from it and made a little thingy. (Gettin' real descriptive here!) I'm showing you that.

May 2011
I got my hair cut, I look like someone from 1940. All I need it two barrettes and I am ready to go. Today is the day people think the world is supposed to end. Am I writing this from heaven? Am I sitting on a cloud? Am I hearing harps? Nope. I’m still on my bed,. Hang on - I hear a trumpet…..Just kidding. The drive here was good. Except there was some insane lightning in North Dakota. And then to top it all off, its only 50 degree’s here! You can bet your china teapot I’m not the least bit happy. ____________________________________________________________________ June 2011 This weather is bugging me. My teeth hurt. And we have a fire on June 3rd!! Yes, we are bad. But cold! I had a sleepover with the Nuxoll’s and Jana. We found a man eating chicken and a man who collects cans and eats girls. Yeah, it was spooky. Today, at the farmers market, I found a rock that was painted like a lady bug and had glasses. I named her Beatrice. Right now, I am wearing my dress with rosettes on one shoulder - it has magical powers! But I made bread and each loaf weighed 2 pounds. So, I guess that proved that it does not have magical powers. ______________________________________________________________________ July 2011 Tomorrow is that dreaded dentist appointment. I failed in trying to get Dr. Silcher sick - bummer! (Next day) I actually felt nothing, getting my gums cut was a breeze! Thank ganache for modern medicine. Casey Anthony will be free on Thursday, can you believe it? I am in need of a new purse, so I ordered another Vera Bradley. I hope it comes before camp. I watched Justin Beibers Movie, his fans are pretty scary. Life is more than a boy who sings and wears purple high tops (and who has a rhinestone heart on one shoulder of his jacket!!!!)

So there you go. A little peek into my diary/weird thoughts.

Oh, and did I mention I love journals?

Tradition Love

Today is about tradition, because it's the super bowl. Our family's groovy tradition for today is that us kidders get to choose a Super Bowl Snack. For the first 12 years of my life, I got little Debbie valentine cakes. I haven't gotten then for the last few years, but I am still smitten on their sweetness. This year, it's iced lemon pound cake from Starbucks. Yummers!

I like this Tradition a whole, whole lot. My other favorite is that we always listen to the big bands on trips. I think I should dedicate a day to the big bands - that would be seriously awesome.

Stop reading this and go watch some football people!!!

Tea + Teacup = Love

I usually mean to have post of different subject matter in between, but the day kinda got away from me. Okay, lame excuse. I'm sorry

KJ was being a total dear and gave me his sickness. His didn't last long, and I'm hoping mine follows suit. But until then, this is how I intend to cure myself...
Blueberry Tea and Poptarts. Oh yeah. I loveeeee tea in teacups. It makes me feel dainty and sophisticated and like I'm in a Jane Austen movie....in my PJ's. Teacups transport me to another time period. Oh, and by the way, sticking out your pinkie is highly advised.

I will forever love tea in teacups. That is fact.

Kid love

I won't be a kid for much longer. And I suppose that to some people, I'm really not one any more. Yesterday I went to Lego Land. And I was a happy kid.

I rode the roller coasters I liked 6 times each. I rode on a carousel. I intentionally spat and
un-intentionally spat on 2 people. (I told you I was acting like a kid!) The best part was watching 12 year olds be romantic on a roller coaster. Or maybe it was the picture of when my glasses were falling of? Not sure. I ate Ice Cream and drove a boat and got a very sore leg. I loved having a fun kid day.

Oh and PS: I love my Frannie.

Frannie Love

Now, I know Frannie is not the most attractive name, but let me tell you! It is a very attractive purse!I was not planning on including Vera Bradly's in this series because I think you already know I love 'em. However I didn't know my Frannie would come so soon, and I didn't know I would love it this much. The only drawback is that there is no inside pocket. But who needs pockets anyway? And the pattern! It is so wonderful and springy. I love spring.

Day 2- done. Vera Bradley love - never ending.

Sweet Stuff

I love February. I love most everything about it. First of all, pink is widely excepted. So is dessert and yummy things to eat. By this time, everyone has forgotten about their new years resolutions to eat healthy and such and goes for the good stuff....pie, cake, cupcakes, cake pops. And you like the new background? Yeah, me too. Reminds me of a cupcake store. Okay, I need to change the subject.

For the 13 days leading up to Valentines day (and on Valentines day.) I'll be showing you 14 things I love. They all vary quite a lot. It wont be super thrilling, but it will be fun to share with you the things I love.

She is just the sweetest.
