Nothing to see here...!

We've had a nice week here! It's been rainy for days and I haven't seen the sun in so long. Also, my appearance hasn't seen any effort in an equal amount of time, something with the weather hmm? My mom has been sick and my dad has been out of town. I've been here playing house, and it's my most favorite game to play.

Sophie's been acting crazy, and our bird (singular not plural, since the other bit the dust whilst we were gallivanting in Paris.) has been chirping up a storm. Between playing house and puppy parenting I feel as if I grew up 30 years. Buuuuuut.... my obsession with Jennifer Lawrence memes brings me back to the reality that I am really 10, at best.

And also, I'm dreading next week and all the terror that it will ensue. Because we have our drama performance! The one I've been sweating over and having nightmares about for 5 months. On the one hand, I'll be free! On the other, Teen Pact comes directly after. And somehow wearing a pencil skirt and 3 pairs of spanks doesn't seem to be the epitome of freedom.

On a random note (the only one in this post, i promise.), I've been itching to dye my hair, or straighten it at least. And also, Emily and I finally watched a decent movie (we are notorious for watching the dumbest movies ever made!) and we are both proud and terrified, because it can only be downhill from here.

 Randomness, Ahoy! Off to cuddle with my pal, Netflix, because what else are rainy days for. (More of a declarative sentence than interrogative, because we all know it's fact.)  Also, what's with all this black and white nonsense? Colorfest resumes tomorrow, mark your calenders.

On representing America well.

 On our second night in Paris, a French cafe was in order! Geeze guys, the Paris cafe's are what DREAMS ARE MADE OF. And when the waiters say bon appetit it actually sounds good, not like the cheesy people at Denny's who say it and sound extremely pathetic. And you will be  happy to know that I did my best to accurately represent the American teenager by texting the entire meal. Nothing like a little American Pride!! Shout out to all my homgirlz, please pass the iPhone.

Spot the Kryn in her silly Paris Hat! It's a fun game to play.
XOXO! And American Teenagers ahoy!

FROM PARIS WITH LOVE.

Ever since coming home, Paris is all I can think about! At my first social event I felt a great urge to share with everyone of my amazing experience in Paris. Person to Person was an option, but I felt like a little presentation (with pictures! everyone loves pictures!) would be more interactive option. You know, and then EVERYONE would know how magical that city is.

But since I hadn't had enough time to prepare some cheesy jokes, I just stuck to my usual plan of bringing every conversation  back to Paris. Talking about snacks "They have the best food there!", commenting on the pretty house we were in  "The houses in Paris were BEAUTIFUL!" It was a good plan! It worked! Though I'm pretty sure everyone was sick of Paris and that is a sad thing indeed.

Anyway, I made a video! It's pretty rough (someone send me a tripod ASAP) but it's perfect in it's own way because its Paris and Paris is perfect so it all works out in the end. Please enjoy a blurry view of the city and get ready for 80 million blog posts to follow, all with an underlying theme of "I WANT TO GO TO PARIS AGAIN."

Not to shout or anything, but really!




Okay, I'm gonna go cry now. Really guys, Paris is incredible, even when blurry and shaky cam are in full swing. Now, does anyone have any tissues handy?

TO JUSTIFY THIS PURCHASE...

(and these selfies) I told myself, "You only go to Paris once!"

A little bit of DC Lovin'

Good morning friends! I've been rushing around all morning, packing and what not. Of course, the term packing is used very loosely, it mainly involves me trying on a bunch of outfits, hating all of them and then ending with every clothing article I own in piles on the floor. Clearly, I have this process down to a science!

Anyway, we went to DC just after Christmas! Dad has a knack of informing us we are traveling with VERYYY late notice. I seriously think we had two days warning on this trip, which was pretty good!

▲▲ Botanical Gardens! We felt right at home in the humidity! Although, what is up with these pics? Geeze kryn, get your act together.

▲▲ I would probably air on the artist side of things, but when I go an museum I always feel like I'm betraying my kind. I really hate art, apparently! I seriously think there was one piece in the whole museum that I actually thought was beautiful. The rest? To many naked ladies and fat babies for my taste.

▲▲ Mount Vernon was so pretty, I wanted to cry. Old George (we are on a first name basis now, thanks to the great level of our affection for him) was a good, good man. Plus There's a little something about colonial charm that is just heavenly.

▲▲ Ah, yes, I promise I do own more than one outfit! But I am getting sick of seeing my one and only coat in SOOO many photos. But Alas, the downside to living in the sweat state.

Thanks peeps! And DC too, because you are real cute.

IT'S FUNNY BEING A KRYN.

Today was one of those days where EVERYTHING went weird. Like not wrong, just weird. It started with me being in a really nice dream (medieval hunger games/people with golden wings and hotels with nice carpet!) and then WAKING UP. That's the worst. Then at drama my stomach was growling SO loud, so I rushed to get my lunch only to find out I messed up my order and got a salad. And please, can we all just take a moment to mourn for the sadness that is lettuce mixed with shredded veggies and dressing? Because really. Then I spilled salad dressing all over my dress and was chanting about taquitos in art, per my art teachers suggestion.

Like I said,weird. And so, to top those, here are the deets....

-"I'm sweating. I'm Freezing. I'M GONNA DIE!!" #dramaproblems.

-Trying to get into the wrong car. Twice, in the same day. 

- Asking KJ "Do you emit wifi?" (I think he took it as a compliment!)

-Running around Emily's neighborhood wearing a bathrobe and pretending to be a wizard. (I prefer to be called "The Whiz.")

-trying to prove the fact that I'm not mentally insane.

-Getting too wrapped up in staring at the Washington Monument and walking right into a pole (a midget pole! it was only up to my torso!) Sadly this was while it was raining so I got water all over my pants and looked like I had no self control as far as bladders are involved.

-A friend thinking the puppies names were "Soapy and Bubbles." Which honestly I am a little embarrassed/ashamed I didn't think of that myself because really!

- doing the hokey pokey at three in the morning because obviously there was nothing better to do.



If you have a little sanity to spare, please send it my way. 

A LITTLE MUFFIN WITH A CASE OF THE MONDAYS.

Because you deserve your week to start out with a fluffy puppy.


You can thank me later!
