DUN DUN DUN, September!

And so, it' is September and I'm not sure how I feel about it. But! We are one month closer to fall leaves and Christmas so I guess I can handle it. MAYBE. But, have I told you about drama club? My dear mother decided it was high time I put my drama to good use (I swear, I'm not dramatic at all! Except about candles, grilled cheese and everything else in life. Sheesh!) and so here I am in drama. But then, there is this tiny thing called, oh I don't know, A BRITISH ACCENT, in which we must master and actually USE in public.

No comment.

So my main goal for September will to be survive, British accents and volleyball, thank you very much. Not like I'm complaining or anything! But, feel free to bring me cupcakes at any point and time, okey dokey?

-WORK ON BRITISH ACCENT

-Not miss any serves in a game

-post one outfit post (i have a feeling i might regret this, but we shall see!)

-play tennis

-get a succulent

-write more letters

- do fun things with friends.

And now, would you like some tea? Because I feel like when homeschoolers try and do British accents, that's all they say. That or some uber romantic line from Pride and Prejudice which I guess is fine by me.

Have a great day, and If it were possible to type in a British accent then I totally would. Cheers!

You shouldn't be here.

Today is just weird. I physically do not understand leap days. It's one of many things I don't understand. That and helium. Someday, I hope I figure it out. But at the moment, I'm as confused as a water buffalo in New York City. And trust me, the results can't be pretty.

So anyway, we are living a day that shouldn't really be here. We should be in March now. I should have changed the background. But nope, its still February. Or is it? February 29th is sort of like a dropout. It leaves for 3 years and then comes back to collect its fame. Frankly, its just kind of rude. I'm not jazzed in the least.

If you were born on today, I'm sorry. You got ripped off. You were cheated on. Your life is ruined. You have been alive 14 years, yet you are only 10? How is it even possible to deny someone the rights of a birthday?

Life is full of sadness. Today is the perfect example.

Now that we've got this out of the way,  lets do something happy! I'm totally all for happiness. I suggest reading a good book, drinking tea and applying lots of lip gloss.

Just a bunch of jiberish...

Oh my goodness! Every time I sit to write a post, all interesting information leaves me and I am left with nothing to show, tell or even blab about!

This weekend I was crazy busy planning and executing my AHG project. I planned a party for my troop, decorated it and used a microphone in front of 50 people. (I was really nervous about that.) The party went well, and I am so jazzed that I got it over with.

I am here right now to apologize for the celebrations page. I forgot to gather the January celebrations. I think I need a co-celebrator. Any volunteers?I promise to get back on track with February. I'm just guessing that there are some pretty awesome holidays for that month.

One last thing, I ordered my Vera Bradley. (Big woot!) I absolutely could not decide, I wanted one I could carry on my wrist. Because that's what they did in the 50's and 60's and those cute little handbags are totally in. But then I went to Michaels and I got so fed up having to carry my purse, that I decided right there I would order a cross body. And that's that. I won't tell you which one I got, but I'll show you the fabric....
Please don't judge me. This is way cuter in person. I was not a huge fan when I saw it online, but I changed my opinion when I saw it for real.

Happy Monday? It is Monday right? I keep forgetting which day it is, and for that matter, I still keep forgetting its 2012!!

Please Pray

My sweet friend Emily was diagnosed with cancer about 4 years ago. She had a tumor in her skull, but it was removed and she was in remission for one year. Just today we found out that she has another tumor in her spine. Would you please pray for Emily and her family as they go through this challenging time?

That time of year.

Its the time of year to start shopping for a new Vera Bradley! I have my eye on a little cutie, but they sold out in my favorite pattern. What a tragedy! I'm off to watch Monk, and then I'll blab more.

Eve of Eve

It's Christmas Eve Eve! What are you most looking forward to about Christmas? I am excited about making physical contact with all the presents under the tree, and the Christmas eve service.

You may be wondering why you didn't hear much about my outfit. Well, it was sort of a flop, but it was redeemed somewhat. During early December, I was busy planning it, purchasing accessories and so on. I was planning on buying this as the skirt.

I was going to get it in Grey, although the pink's not too bad! But sadly, I am a lazy American and didn't order it before it was retired. (And being American has nothing to do with being a lazy soul. I'm sure there are lazy people from every country.) After that depressing shopping disaster, I kind of had given up all hope for an outfit. I was going to wear
what I wore to the recital. (...)(Everything but the dress I got with my Christmas Eve outfit in mind. And you can't see the best thing - red tights.)

But in Gap the other day, I stumbled across a black skirt. It was super cute. It was bubbly and had pockets. And the real deal is that it was one dollar cheaper than the accordion fold skirt.

So now I sort of have a Christmas Eve outfit. Although it is not how I envisioned it in the beginning (Yes, I gave up on the gold jewelry.) And it is very similar to my piano recital outfit, it is still super cute.

I think I say cute way too much. Over and out.

Kitty cat

Oh dear.
Oh my.

I love kitties. I miss my little Gypie.
