HOT DOG ON AISLE SEVEN

Aaaannnd we're back with a hot dog suit to boot! I'm feeling especially poetic today, so bear with me.

I have done a lot of thinking in the past few weeks. Don't faint or anything, but yes, occasionally I do like to use my brain. Granted, I was thinking about nail polish and clothes (maroon for fall!) But I've also been thinking about writing. More specifically, writing more than just jiberish and actually writing more meaning full things. Things that actually make you wonder and pause and.....something else equally enriching. 

I'm a little new to this.

So on my last jiberishy note, please let's just bask in greatness that is a hot dog suit. And a matching ones for dogs, you might as well just take my piggy bank target! Dang! But really, I had more fun in the 10 minutes I was wearing that suit then I have had in a good long while, at least twenty minutes.

Happy as a hot dog, over and out!

A quote, for what it's worth

Gosh, I am a blogger and I can not lie! I can't keep myself away, so humor me anyway. I found this quote (how pinteresty! how artsy!) and cliche-ness aside, it was pretty great. Grateful today for grace, a loving heavenly father and let's be honest - pajamas!

Hebrews 4:16 Let us then with confidence draw 

near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy 

and find grace to help in time of need.

A little break because....

a random photo, because that's how it's done!

Good Morning all!

Just popping in for a sec to say that I'll be stepping back from blogging for a few weeks. Or course, you might have already noticed this but I'm here to make it official, so yay! I have just been going through a weird phase (not that unusual, considering my whole life has been pretty weird.) Nothing  bad or anything, don't get any silly ideas! But more along the lines of I can't figure out how to wear a chambray shirt and do I like pink or purple better?

Clearly, these issues need to be resolved!

So have a cheery few weeks, I have plans for this blog, but I fully belive that you should take breaks when you need to. And let's be honest, a few weeks of TV show marathons usually can cure just about anything!

If you need me, I'll be on the couch! XOXO

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!

HI, LET ME BABBLE.

I've been meaning to write this post for probably thirty minutes, but I keep getting interrupted by the urge to listen to 80's music. And when the 80's call, you answer! 80's aside (and let's not forget this gem!) These are a few selfies from the first day of school! Well, if you want to get technical these are from the first day before the first day of school - details details! And the moral of the story is that if you wear the same outfit 2 days in a row, don't tell anyone. Except the Internet in my case. I always trust the NSA with my most devious secrets. Don't you!?

And on a side note, we have our first varsity volleyball game today which gives me mixed feelings of excitement and puke. But! I have noticed that when I am nervous I tend to get the blogging urge, if you know what I mean (which you probably don't, so anyway), and so I will probably whip out about 50 posts in 12 seconds. Yay for efficiency, I guess!

And before my death or I mean, I leave for Volleyball, let me leave you with some links because exploring the internet is fun!

▲▲ this shirt, OHMYGRACIOUS SOMEONE BUY IT FOR ME, THANKS.

▲▲ Scarlet peonies, I didn't even know such magic existed.

▲▲ of course, you internet know-it-all's know this is old news, but its a really interesting video!

▲▲ the styling in these photos are fab!

▲▲ my mom was looking for volleyball warm up songs and found this (and the greatest wedding processional of all time, for that matter!) read the comments, they are hilarious!

A fine day for...

best friends and horse movies. Oh yeaaaah!

Guys, let me be frank. Hot dog frank: my spring was REALLY terrible. I'm not really into sharing it here yet, which I am cool with, but in the meantime you may wonder and I will just say it was lame/awful. So thus, summer was extra wonderful.

Life has been looking up a lot more, and I'm so happy to finally be able to say that the sky is a little bluer and the laughs a little longer and the tears are few and far between. SO HAPPY.

So anyway! Onto our fun day! First of all, I was not aware of how hot it is here until today. I walked outside "HOW CAN PEOPLE LIVE HERE?" So apparently I've also involuntarily become a hermit because hello, AC is worth it. And also, a long sleeve shirt? Not my finest moment. But then again, the sweat marks were impressive!

▲▲ The "hey lets be cool and do a cheers photo!" fail. We apparently can not clink glasses to save our lives. Our excuse? "We were homeschooled!"

And no, these weren't staged a bit. Not pictured, how sweaty we were. But these dorky/obnoxiously cliche photos were totally worth it.

Thanks to Em for putting up with me for the day, you are a riot. and so are those horse movies.

PS: More photos (okay, one.) from our summery day on instagram..... @thegirlkryn.

Pinning patterns or some other cheezy saying...

First of all, is this a mood board or a collage or a pintastic something or other? Words like pinspired and pinspiration really bug me. I don't know why either, since I'm probably the most pinspired of all the peoples.

I noticed that a few of my pins matched (#yeah!) so...dun dun dun! A collage/moodboard/pinspiration collage or whatever floats your boat. But these colors are sooo good and a puppy with tinsel is makes it 10 million times better. You know it.

follow me on pinterest, and what colors have you been loving?

I feel like I should end this on a banana hashtag note....#bananas. There!
