DARK AND MOODY MONDAY

For the first time in probably 3 seasons I decided to skip a volleyball practice. And by skip I mean, I had a fever and I didn't feel like downing a bottle of dayquill. Instead the puppies and I went out side (something we used to do quite often) and I blessed the neighbors with music - both of my shutter clicking and my ukulele plucking.

I wasn't planning on going all black and white and moody with these photos but then again , Matthew Crawley just DIED. He's DEAD.

On second thought, black and white forever.

PS: Alternate ending; "Help I've fallen into Downton Abbey and I can't get up." Either works.
PPS: This song only increases the mood.
PPSS: Let's buy mood rings while we're at it! Though everyone I've ever had seems to get stuck on romantic...I can't imagine why!

THANKFUL 2012

What, another dog picture AND a hash tag!?!? Seriously guys, I wasn't joking when I said I had problems. But admitting it, that's the first step to recovery...RIGHT?

Well for one thing, I know I'm not super serious here on de blog. I'm not really a serious type person, so well, I don't get serious too often. But anyway, here's for a change! (kinda sorta.)

#THANKFUL 2012

FAMILY - Wow, this is SOOO cliche. But they are kind of awesome so, duh. They put up with my whining and boo hoo-ing and failed jokes and still buy me chocolate milk....WHAT?! I'm keeping these people, FOREVER. (frem, you're in here too)

*PUPPIES- Okays, so MAYBE I just got finished watching the dog show, but I would have brought it up anyway. These puppies (CLEARLY) are my favorite. Without them, I would take zero pictures, not have a snuggle buddy (I sound really cool now, I'm sure.) and basically my bff. Dff? yes.

EXPERIENCES- I've moved a ton, sometimes didn't see my dad for months at a time, and my mom has been sick ever since I was born. But honestly, these things have shaped me into who I am today. It's fun to look back and see how God worked, even when we had NO IDEA what was going on. He's just like that. We're at a point now where we can see the good that came from it. I'm truly grateful for that.

HEALTH - Our family has been going through some health problems recently this year, and I'm thankful that I'm healthy (clearly, not at the moment, but for the most part.) I mean, I have a cold. Not  cancer or a broken arm or sickle cell anemia. I can handle a cold.

BIBLE STUDY- Before we moved, I was involved in a REALLY awesome bible study (girls, if you are reading this, I love you!) I didn't realize HOW MUCH I missed it until I started going to one here, it's amazing. I love the studies and have absolutely learned so much. It's amazing.

HANDWRITING- This is going to sound weird, I LOVE my handwriting. It's not fancy or really even that nice. I just kind of love how it's mine and unique to me. No really, I'm not a stingy person. (um....what?)

ENJOY LIFE- I have this mini project I've been doing for the past few months. It has been so fun. And by fun, I mean eye opening and literally amazing. Maybe I'll show you sometime, it's so different than what I blog here.

AMERICA- It's changed so much, even since I've been alive. It almost makes me sad to talk about it, but I just LOVE IT. I was writing something for my project about it on election day, and I was bawling (not that that's unusual or anything.) This is my country, I'm an American, and I am SO PROUD of it.

That's it, at least for this list anyway. Now it's your turn, what would you put on your #THANKFUL 2012 list? I'm all ears!

(and all cheese.)

*Sophie ran away today, but thankfully we caught her. If we hadn't, she would have seriously messed up this list.

We did the cha cha

Mom and dad were gone yesterday. And if your parents have ever left you at home alone, you know what means....

PARTY TIME!!!

First on the agenda was the cha cha slide. For the record, Sophie's not very good at it. I'm sweet and usually overlook her few imperfections. I mean seriously, WHO doesn't do the cha cha slide?!?

Wait, everyone?

Okay so never mind. One thing we DIDN'T do was the cha cha slide. Instead we did yoga to Beethoven. I hear that's all the rage.

And by the way, Sophie's way better at yoga that the cha cha slide. Just saying.

Alternate Titles

There really are a lot of things I could call this post.

"Proof Bubbles needs a bath."

"I should be washing my blankets more."

"Awkward Dog Photos"

"Snoring Beauty"

But in the end, I think I'll go with Bubbles.

I pride myself on my creativity.

Have a great Tuesday ya'll. I also pride myself on my southern accent, just turning on the charm you know! The blog revamp is going well (not good mind you) and I can't wait to for it to be up and running. Blogs do a lot of running...? Let me rephrase that, I can't wait for it to be up! I have my first swim practice of the season today, eek. I'm fairly sure I'll pass out on lap 4. When Emmers and I went for tryouts, we swam 3 laps. When we got out I declared "That was a great workout!" Trust me, it will be rough. XOXO, Kryn

A much needed update

Wow, do I win the lame blogger award or what? And sadly, this is definitely not the first time I've been eligible. My week consider of free McDonalds breakfast (which was glorious) testing, giving a speech (and forgetting my camera) and topping of off getting really sick. Oh the joy. My week was actually really great, so don't think that's why I didn't get around to posting (or making) a Happy {Fri} Day post. The reason was that yesterday I was just to sick to get my rear in gear ( that always make me laugh. Proves I am a cheese ball.) and whip something up.

So since I'm lazy... How about a highs and lows?

Highs:
Blue ribbon for our speech
Egg Mcmuffin
You light up my life for the piano
Bridesmaids marathon

Lows:
Being sick
Bad Monk
Missing 2nd to last sports

With that being said, I'm going to gonnna stuff my face with cheese its. 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.

That tounge

Is a wild one.
It is very active.
And pink!
It loves to lick....anything


And everything.

The Puppies.

(I need to stop putting periods in the title. That is a very bad habit.)

This is Bubbles. She is such a cutie.
This is Sophie. She's even cuter.And theres Sophie and me. We are so cute right!?!??!

And I posted this because i love it.
