Wishing I Had Somewhere Nice to Wear This

Sooooo...

I went shopping with Hey Baloney and I found this lovely dress:

Ain't it pretty? :)

I also bought a cute shirt as well but I'm lacking in photos for that. Rats.

It was a really amazing feeling being able to buy something without

freaking out about not having enough money.

Ahhh the joys of working! Stuff like this

makes up for the other crap I have to put up with sometimes ya know?

Oooh and this is my new henna tattoo!

It's supposed to be a rose surrounded by leaves...I'm not quite sure

if I mastered that. What do you think?

Anyways, lately I've been spending some of my time reading.

I have to read "A Farewell to Arms" for my summer reading assignment.

And I seriously hate it! Especially because I already know how it's going to

end which is a pretty typical Hemingway ending. Ugh.

Maybe I shouldn't have cheated and read the end

before finishing the rest huh? haha.

Yeah I'm kinda ashamed of that. I feel like I cheated.

The other book I've been spending my time reading is Harry Potter Numero Uno!

Even though I've already read all of them once before.

I really want to get through all of them again before I watch the newest one. :}

Hope you are all have a MARVELOUS day!

Red TOMS

So I did it! I bought them... they were expensive but I did it!

Aren't they gorgeous?

These are my second pair of TOMS... remember the first?

I didn't actually get the really brights ones-

the linen ones are slightly more breathable

and he he it will help out because my feet are a little um sweaty. hahaha.

And since I got them in Whole Earth Trading Company

they gave me a

FLAG!!!

It's okay you're allowed to be jealous. hehe.

It Just Snuck Up On Me I SWEAR!

Wooh.. is it just me or did Christmas come super fast this year? Just yesterday we were on Thanksgiving break and then woosh.. now I have exactly 3 days to finish presents! Eek! I'm so behind! I wish I could tell you what I'm making people but many of the people that I'm making gifts for read this blog (drat!), so I can't share until after the blessed day. Anyways, about today...

Today was kind of a disaster. I'm a little upset with my friends. :( We were all going to go ice skating and everyone was all excited (originally there was a total of 5 people including myself going). I was especially excited because I haven't ice skated in an especially long time. (I have to stop saying especially! heehee) Last night I was calling people to make sure everyone knew what was happening. I got some pretty lame excuses from my friends, one of which included: "I'm not feeling it" and "I don't know how to skate so I don't want to go"! *sniff sniff* :'( What a mess! You see why I was upset? Instead of skating, I did some late Christmas shopping today with my sister Kaitlyn. We spent several hours in Target trying to find gifts for our family members and I had a hard time finding presents for the men in my family. I feel like I buy them the same thing every year.. in the end I did find a present for my dad and I can't tell you much except that it was a DVD.

Well there are exactly 3 more days until Christmas! I need to get a move on it! haha.

Have a wonderful day!

Oh yeah! Here's a pretty amazing song by one of my favorite bands (Cartel)! It's kind of sad but it's really good. :) Listen & enjoy.

Shopping and Youtube

So here's some of the interesting stuff of the day:
I went shopping with my sister Kaitlyn today! YAAAAYY!!! I bought this and this

And if money permitted would have also bought this and this....
I also got two shirts from Zara but I don't feel like taking pictures of stuff right now... haha. Sorry bout that! Anyways then we went to Godiva and debated over whether we should get chocolate covered strawberries or hot chocolate. The choices the choices. :D We ended up going with the hot chocolate but the strawberries are still my favorite.

After that we came home and I found this really hilarious guy on youtube! His name is Mitchell Davis, and he makes really random, funny videos. For example:

That's pretty much my day in a whole so far! Have a great day/weekend!
