11 Questions

First off, sorry I haven't posted anything in two days! I drove back home on Friday and yesterday I went to one of my sweet friend's, who I've known since kindergarten, wedding yesterday (I'll blog about that later haha).

Sweet Chelsea over at As Chelsea Sees It tagged me in a little question game. I'm so excited, because as all of you know I'm new to the blogging world and can't believe that anyone is even remotely interested in my crazy life.

Here are the game rules:

-Post these rules

-Post a photo and 11 random things about you

-Create 11 more questions for the people you tag

- Contact those you choose to let them know they've been tagged

(this is me and my fur child Moe. I'll post about her later and why she is named Moe. I love this little dog so much!)

[1] What is your favorite song/artist?

Shoot. I listen to a lot of different types of genres so this is extremely hard. I really LOVE Lady Antebellum, but I have also been a huge Coldplay fan since seventh grade. I like Kings of Leon, Britney Spears, Carrie Underwood, Zac Brown Band, Florence + The Machine, Ellie Goulding, ect. ect. But when it all comes down to the best song and artist to sing with your friends with the car windows down is Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show. 

[2] If you could only eat one thing/type of food for the rest of your life what would it be?

My grandmother's chicken n' dumplings. So yummy!

[3]When you were little what did you want to be when you grew up? And are you that today?

I wanted to be a veterinarian because I'm a huge animal lover, but then I found out that I'd have to put animals to sleep so I nipped that idea in the bud. 

[4]What's your favorite vacation spot?

Florida. The beach and Disney World. Can't beat that.

[5] If you only had one day to live what would you do on your last day?

Probably a bunch of crazy stuff I'm afraid to do now, like skydiving and bungee jumping. I'd also want to swim with dolphins. Then at the end of the day throw a huge party and be with all the people I love. 

[6] What's your favorite movie?

Lion King. Hakuna Matata.

[7] If you had to give up technology(phones, tv, computer) for a day, what would you spend the day doing?

Reading and going on a walk in the park with my bff Betsey. We have our best conversations and thinking there.

[8] What is your favorite place to shop?

Belk and Macy's.

[9] If you had an unlimited amount of money for a day or two, how would you spend it?

Buy both my parents a huge house, pay off my student loans, take my friends and family to Europe, go on a huge shopping spree, take an African safari, geez...the possibilities are endless.

[10]If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go and why? Would you take anyone with you?

Hmmm where do I not want to go? And I would take my friends and family with me. 

[11] What is your favorite outfit? ( dress,jeans & tee, sweats, etc. etc.)

Sundresses and flip flops or wedges. I love feeling girlie and comfortable.

 I'm opening this up to anyone who feels like answering!

1.  What is your favorite TV addiction?

2. If you had one day to live, what would you do?

5. If you could only eat one kind of food for the rest of your life what would it be?

With Her Nose Stuck in a Book

Confession: I'm a bookworm.

Yup, that's right y'all now know that I'm a complete nerd. Remember how uncool it was to like reading in elementary school? Only the smart kids did that. I wasn't that smart, but I guess I was that uncool haha. Anyways, my Spring Break starts tonight after my night class, and I'm just going to spend a nice relaxing week at home, so I need y'alls help on fun books to read!

I have to finish reading Emily Giffin's Heart of the Matter, but after that I got nothing. I heard that Garth Stein's The Art of Racing in the Rain is good, but if any of you have read it I'd like to know what you think of it!

For those of you who need some suggestions, here are my top beach reads:

1. Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers

 Ok, ok. so this isn't really a beach read, but I will suggest it to every single woman I meet. Yeah, it's that amazing! 

2. Something Borrowed and Something Blue by Emily Giffin

You know the rule, the books are ALWAYS better than the movie! And these two are perfect beach reads!

3. Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberger

Yes, she wrote the Devil Wears Prada. Yes, this book is just as fabulous!

4. Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah

Great life story of two best friends. Get ready to have some tissues handy.

5. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

If you haven't read them already, now is the time to do it! They're SO good and you'll want to read the book before the movie comes out March 23!

Any book suggestions you have for me? I would love to hear them!

Have a wonderful Thursday!

Colored Jeans

I know you've all seen it on Pinterest, blogs, and in stores, but I'm wondering how y'all feel about the colored jean trend.

 I was a little iffy about it at first, and to be quite honest I wasn't sure if I could even pull them off. But I decided to give it a try today, and I got plenty of compliments about how cute I looked.  I guess you could say I've jumped on the colored jeans trend now haha. Here was my inspiration:

This is from J. Crew

(keep in mind this was taken at the end of the day haha)

I got the denim shirt and colored jeans at Marshalls and TJ Maxx (I'm a huge TJ Maxxer!) and then instead of leopard heels I wore leopard flats (please, like Im going to wear heels to walk all over campus!)  

What do y'all think about the colored jean trend? Were you as on the fence about it as I was? and is it a do or don't in your opinion.

Disney Housewives

It's been a long day. I barely got any sleep last night because I had a test this morning, but I thought I'd share this video with you if you haven't seen it already. My friend Olivia posted it on my facebook wall and I thought it was absolutely hysterical. I probably think it's so funny because I love Real Housewives (except Atlanta) and Disney haha.

Here's the link: (I hope it works! sorry I'm a little technologically challenged haha)

Disney Housewives

I can't believe Lindsey Lohan is making a come back, but hey good for her.

And thank you for all your sweet comments about the painting! I was able to give it to her today and she loved it! I'm so flattered and also so thankful to have met such great blogger friends :)

Have a great Tuesday :)

Spring Cravings

You know those days when you are just sitting somewhere or doing something (in my case class) and then all the sudden you get a huge, and I mean HUGE, craving for something. Today was one of those days. I just could not stop thinking about... BANANA PUDDING!

Of course, right after class I made a quick trip to the grocery store. For those of you who have never made banana pudding it's super easy. All you need is Nilla Wafers, a vanilla pudding mix box (you can also use banana pudding mix, but I don't because I hate fake banana tasting stuff), bananas, and cool whip. Just make the pudding according to the box and top it off with bananas, Nilla Wafers, and cool whip. Easy peasy.

Definitely a spring food that hits the spot! Are there any foods that you crave during spring time?

Hope y'all had a wonderful Monday!

Good Crafternoon

I've had a very productive day today. I finished up two papers and even found some time to paint in between.

My great grand little saw the background of my phone one day and asked me if I could paint it for her (she even offered to pay me psshh like I would ever let her!). I was in the mood to paint last night, so I thought I'd surprise her with this the next time I see her:

I painted the First Impression pattern, but then thought it needed a little something else to give it some oomph, so of course, like all things that are in need of that little something, I monogrammed it. I did her monogram in gold and I think it turned out nice. 

Now, all it needs is some pretty ribbon tied in a bow attached to it so she can hang it up. I hope she likes it! 

Hope y'all have a fabulous Sunday!

It's Just Not Fair

I've been cooped up inside all day working on homework (papers, tests, and online quizzes, oh my!). Just so y'all know, I'm one of those strange people that has to have the TV on or music playing while I'm working or studying. Silence just drives me crazy!

Anywho, the movie Can't Buy Me Love came on (if you're not familiar with it, it's a cheesy 80s movie that Love Don't Cost a Thing was based on) and guess whose in it? Patrick Dempsey! But this isn't the Patrick Dempsey we all know and drool over, in fact, it's hard to even recognize him! because....

he's a NERD!!! wait....what? never thought I'd put his name and that adjective in the same sentence! How did this become this?

I'll tell you how. Men just become more attractive with age. While we're worrying about applying wrinkle cream, they can just let nature take it's course and overnight become a stud. It's just not fair.  Take the most recent example:

Cute little Neville Longbottom. He is precious. I just want to pinch his cheeks, but I would never go wow, he's going to be such a lady killer when he grows up. Well, guess what?

He is! 

But then again, I guess this isn't completely unfair since we get to look at them haha :) 

Have a great Saturday!
