Dear Elizabeth,

Oh Big "E", Where do I even begin?

I'm going to hell

Well, that seems like a good start, Sometimes you are in a situation where you have no control over anything that happens. And other times you are in a situation and are in full control over everything and you just let things happen. That last one is never a good idea. 

Elizabeth Stuart hall, you sure do got my back, you old bag of bones you :)

Sometimes This school Is my favorite

This post has almost no substance. 

BUT!

Here is a photo of a guy sleeping on a rock. 

Enjoy :)

Its Just Me And You Now Elizabeth....

Whats better than sitting on this bench for one morning? Sitting on this bench for 2 mornings! Whats better than that?

SITTING ON MY FREAKING BENCH THAT IS USUALLY STOLEN BY THIS RUGGED SLEEPING HOBO GIRL!!!

GET OF MY BENCH, YOU BENCH HUSSY!!!

Welp, I guess it is just me and "Big E", we are currently on nickname status. 

I have been thinking about a lot lately and I have come to the conclusion that 

1. life would be simpler if I was an indian. 

2. I could live my life on a pirate ship and be happy if my friends were my deck crew.

 3. I think I want to join the peace corps and do some real good in the world.

4. I wish I only had to work like half an hour but get paid for working a lot more than that!

5. life is moving really really fast.

6. The world needs to take a  step back, and look at the big picture, just a few min. would do some real good.

Look at her looking over my shoulder, like she knows this is a photo opp. She is one of those stylish old people, Its what ev's and you cant change that. 

I feel a bit bad that I haven't posted any tutorials lately (and it is halloween season, which is tutorial season for all bloggers like me!!! I LOVE Halloween)

BUT! I did sew a black leather pencil skirt the other day, so there is going to be some tutorials coming soon! 

School School School

So as I have mentioned before, I have to drive about half an hour to school everyday. Today I had to stop and get gas, and that took mea bout 5 min. to do. Well as it just so turns out five min. is all it takes to not get my favorite hallway bench.... It is an injustice and must be stopped! Until I actually decided to do something about it I am stuck on this bench with good old "Elizabeth Stuart" Peering over my shoulder with her old lady glasses...

The upside of course is that just across the hall is a Meredith from The Office look-a-like who listens to her show tunes really loudly. It's what ev's, you cant make this stuff up. 

For those of you who are interested, The sound track just changed from show tunes, to.... mexican cowboy music. This is going to be a good day.

It's like a look and find

But she is clearly Meredith. 

Another change, this time its middle eastern sitar music. 

Don't fix what ain't broken

Why Do I Think Things Like This Are Acceptable?

So today, much like yesterday and the day before that, I have classes to go to. My first one starts at 9:00. So as I was getting ready this morning I thought to myself,"self, you know what you should wear today? skinny jeans and your american eagle Hoodie, the white one with the yellow letters on it". So I got in the shower, did my hair and makeup and got dressed. Then I realized that the hoodie I was wearing, is short. Yes, but I must have figured that it was ok, Why not dress like a hobo two days in a row? I am starting a streak. 

Also, as I was taking this awfully lit picture I had to use the clock timer on my camera so I would set the camera up, click the shutter button run to my spot in by the plant and pose, while a bunch of crazy music majors walked by.  So guess who is the weird one now. (me, it's me)

And the small hoodie is not even the best part, on no, go ahead and scroll down a bit. 

If you read yesterdays post, then you should have seen this coming. What is it? Ya, shoes with over the ankle socks. WHY DO I KEEP DRESSING LIKE THIS!?!?! It is like when a child dresses herself and goes to show her mom what a good job she has done but then the mother sends her back and then picks clothes out for her, because we live in a society where it is unacceptable to wear a princess dress on a regular basis (which by the way is crap). Only for me, there is no mom telling me "oh Honey, you look like a hobo today, you should go change."

Why it can't just be summer all year round so that I can wear my pre determined summer outfits is beyond me. 

On a different, more artsy note, Check out this picture I drew of myself!? Sometimes I love college because I can do stuff like this and get a grade for it. 

It's Only Sometimes OK To Dress Like A Hobo To College

The past 24 hours has been kind of weird.

First of all I got a new job about a week ago, I now am a kiosk person. So I was closing the kiosk last night and I was just about done, all I had to do was take the garbage out. Unfortunately I forgot where the big mall garbage was so I just took all the garbage home with me. In my truck. Ya, this really happened. 

Then this morning I was on my way to school (after I threw out the garbage from last night, thank goodness). And what do you know, there is no place to park in the entire university parking lot, all 20 something of them. So I parked a mile away in the Jakes Over The Top parking lot. Fortunately this is where the cool trucks park. My majestic silver toyota included. 

Just to prove my point, here is the parking lot, It might look like there is space to the right of the red car, but I assure you, it is entirely packed. 

Then as I was walking the mini marathon to class, I realized that I was dressed like a freaking hobo! And then I see these college girls. WHY CAN'T I BE A CUTE COLLEGE GIRL LIKE THEM?!?! (directly after I took this photo, I realized what a creep I was being, you know, taking secret pictures of school girls. Yikes.)

It is only sometimes ok to dress like a hobo to college.

But only sometimes. Today being one of those times.

Let's review:

Pants: $5 (from rue 21 of all places)

Shirt: $4 (from the DI)

Shoes: $2.50 (fake Toms, of course)

Hat: from years ago, and it needs to be washed, eww)

Jacket: Found in the back of my truck, it was cold this morning

Also, a note on my hair, can you say Wayne Campbell? 

And what is this? Fake Toms with socks?!?! Who am I these days?

But it gets better, They are Ariel socks. As in the little mermaid. Thats right. 

I can't think of anything else to say. 

my super awesome friends that are super awesome

please enjoy these photos of my bitties 

hey guys :)

Swimming Season Is Upon Us

In high school I was on the swim team. I was a captain my Junior and Senior year and did fairly well in competition. I'm no missy franklin (lets face it, who is) but I really enjoyed it for the most part. My younger sister is in a sophomore this year and decided that she wanted to swim. So I took her to my Uncles pool to learn a few strokes and tecniques. Hopefully she will stick it out!

The before we got in the pool. My swimsuit is from my junior year of high school and it still fits!

She is my little angel  :)

This is funny because all she wanted to do was play mermaid...

After our workout and technique sesh! Great Job sis!

A Night At The Cowboy

For those who don't know (which I can safely assume is almost nobody, because people don't read my blog, that's why I can post crap like this) "The Cowboy" Is a country dancing place in my city. It is run by a couple of kids who are also my kind of friends (you know, those people who you know and are nice to but never hang out with). I had never been before and it was supposed to be super a lot, tons of fun. So my two friends and I got dressed in our semi country outfits and hit the town (of course first making a quick stop at the nearest village inn for free pie day). After super delicious free pie, we finally get to the dance. 

And it is full of super weird people.

As a side note, I am not a good country dancer, I have never been great at them for one reason, size. I am a 6 foot tall 170 pound giant of a girl. (also I never get asked to dance but that is another story). Line dances also fall into this "Country Dance" category. Line dancing is a lot like Zumba or Aerobics, only I feel a million times more stupid doing line dances because it is the same steps over and over and over, but I can never seem to catch on. Zumba on the other hand has a lot of variations and is high energy so as long as you are trying to keep up and burring calories you are ok to proceed in an un-orderly fashion. 

Back to why I suck at country dancing. 

I am a big person in general, graceful, but big. So when you go to a place like "The Cowboy" all the boys only want to dance with the super petite girls (no I am not hating on small girls, with out petite girls there would be nobody to buy the XS sizes on clearance, thus hurting the economy). The boys that regularly attend the country dance get rather good the steps and making up their own. 

Anyways, long story short, I had to dance with the big sweaty kid who kept trying to throw me in the air (yes, me the 6 foot tall 170 pound person). I did not know what to even think about the whole thing. First the kid was literally drenched in sweat, which in turn made him smell really really awful. Secondly   HE KEPT TRYING TO THROW ME UP IN THE AIR!!!
That is until I accidentally kicked him in the jaw....

Welp that is pretty much where this story ends.

Please enjoy this grainy photo we took before the night went so badly.

Thoughts on life 1.

You know what? Here I am sitting in an unused corner of my schools campus theater arts building (no I am not a theater student, I just am taking a theater class to fulfill generals) and I decide that out of nowhere I need to start actually blogging about my life so I opened up a new page on blogger and here we are. I realize that not many people will read this, but one day I hope to look back on this blog and be utterly proud of all that I have done and accomplished and not only will I be able to read about stuff I have done in the past but I will have pictures and tutorials and movies about my life. I am not very old, and I don't plan on ever getting "old" but If I ever do, I think I will be super grateful that I have kept a record, and not just a journal, but a real life real time record of how I spend my life.

I am currently on my second year of college and I graduate this semester with my associates degree of general studies, I completed it in a year and one semester, which I think is super good :) I have a stage costuming class today (which I am super terrified for) but we will see how it goes!

Also I am really busy these days! And I kind of like it! I love going to school and learning, also seeing my friends! This is the first semester that I have actually had lots of friends at school the same time I am there, So seeing them in passing is really cool to me!

Wow, this post is kind of scatterbrained, because now I am going to end it on this note!

New posts coming soon! lots of new ideas and stuff :) And stuff, haha

This One Time I Went To Lagoon...

So, the other day, me and my friends went to Lagoon for the day. It was the most fun I have had in a long time. We literally rode rides all day from the time it opened to the time it closed. I have THE best friends in the entire world :) Not to mention we played TOP GUN the entire time so we were pretty much the cool kids. This is just a little video of the day :)




Can I just take a second and rant a little bit about friends? Well, I am going to anyway. So once upon a time I made these crazy friends and we do EVERYTHING together. We are always up to something, and it never gets old. We even have fun doing silly things like hair cutting night or bachelorette night (unless of course those stupid frat boys try to crash our girls night, those jerks...) We watch movies together, have bon fires, go on bike rides, we practically live at each others houses and borrow each others clothes. 


We are all different shapes and sizes, none of us are the same age, we all come from different backgrounds. We are crazy and all kind of screwed up. We all have our trials but in the end we are the best of friends. We always have each others backs, and I will defend them to the very end.


I am the luckiest person on the planet. 

Out For Lunch Outfit

So The other day I went out to lunch with my best friend and this is what I wore. Can I just say that  was a pretty perfect day to wear this very outfit?!

Even though it has a lot of layers, the layers are thin and light, the weather was not to hot and not to cold so everything worked out great

No jewelry, I wanted to keep it as simple as I could, Plus with the lace texture of the shirt and the wild print from the scarf, this outfit really didn't need any bling

My hair is day old curls (yes, I used my new curling iron, it is amazing!)

Also, I have a new red peak of color in my hair where the blond used to be

Also, Check out my photo editing skills? I think I am going to start doing more photos in a setting like this, I like it and you can see more than one at a time, but I defiantly need more practice!

Coral Pants: JC Penny's

Lace Top: Shopko

Over Sized Grandpa Cardigain: Old Navy

Oxford heals: Pay-less

Printed Scarf: DIY-ed By Me

Miss Quince Anos!

So recently I went to a friends fifteenth birthday, and It was probably bigger than most weddings these days. I thought I would share the experience with the internet so here we go. 

This is me in my party outfit :) This is literally the only cocktail dress I own. I don't wear it very often because it is kind of fancy and what not so it was nice to wear it this evening. 

And dang!  I look good ;)

The party, We ate a traditional mexican dinner and the entire ball room was complete decked out!

Me and my mom :) Don't we look great?

This is the table setting, there was probably close to 20 tables. It was magnificent. 

This is the birthday girls cake. It is supposed to resemble Cinderella's pumpkin carriage. And yes, It really was that huge! The table behind the cake is one of the areas for presents. By the end of the night she had close to four tables entirely filled with gifts. 

This is where the Quince girl and her entourage sat for dinner. Front and center so that nobody forgets whose party this is.

Finally this is me and Jazmine She looked absolutely gorgeous! Her dress was HUGE and covered in sequens. She did such a good job and I am proud to call her my friend :)Yes I had to really scrunch down so that we would both get into the shot

¡Feliz cumpleaños!

Disney Inspired Quiet Book

A while back I was really into these quiet book. I had never owned one as a child but probably would have liked one. SO! I decided to try my hand at making one and this is what I came up with!

This is the cover, I am going to give it to my little friend Averee!

It has a button to close the whole book and this super cute peace sign print!

The first page is Rapunzel and Snow White

Rapunzel: 

She is leaning out her tower, long hair flowing out the window. The object of the page is so her hair can be braided and then you can put clips in it, which are clipped on a ribbon on the left side of the page. 

Snow White:

It is really simple, an apple tree with removable apples and a basket to put them in. The purpose? Welp, I am not quite sure, but Averee is going to love it :) 

On the inside is the felt doll portion. it features a castle scene on the left and a pocket on the right. The pocket is filled with all sorts of dress-up dolls.

There are 20 dresses in the collection. The majority are disney dresses with a few of my own creations.

from left to right:

Top Row: Cinderella work outfit, ugly step sister #1, blue and yellow dress (my own creation), purple dress, tangled dress,  sleeping beauty dress

Middle Row: Mulan dress, Tiana dress, Meg dress (from Hercules), Snow White, Arial Wedding Dress, Tinker Bell, 

Bottom Row: Ugly Step Sister #2, Ariel Pink Dress (least favorite, but first dress I did), Cinderella Ball Gown, Bell Ball Gown, the last two and the one above them are my own creation, just three simple cocktail dresses

Next is 6 mermaid tails and sea shell tops including Jasmine's pants and off the shoulder top. 

Then there are a few accessories, 

3 hair things: Bow, Flower, and Crown

3 purses

and one parasol 

Finally we  have the princesse, yes they look a little weird (like they don't really have legs) but that is so they can all have mermaid tails. And yes they all look very weird because they are naked.

From left to right:

Top Row: Belle, Tiana, Jasmine, Ariel, Cinderella (who can double as Tinker Bell on occasion)

Bottom Row: Snow White, Rapunzel, Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) Mulan, and Pocahontas

Here they all are in their own outfits! How Cute!

The last page is a matching game on the left (crowns, flowers, stars, circles, hearts, and triangles). The orange behind the cards is 3 long pockets to hold the cards in place when they are not in use. 

On the right is an abacus starting at 1 and ending at 8. 

The back of the book! For some reason I couldn't get the picture to turn the right way, so the book is side ways. I love the way it turned out! Let me know what you think!
