On This October’s Eve

Look, October is my favorite month and what do you do when it’s the eve of your favorite month?

You celebrate. Live it up. Party. Whatever the cool kids are doing, you do it, because IT’S OCTOBER! Well almost.

Arkansas hasn’t caught wind of the seasons changing and today was another warm one, so I opted for some large-print flower power. And sandals. Yes, all of you Fashion Police are like, “IT’S AFTER LABOR DAY!”

Whatevvvvver.

.

Tonight we whipped up some homemade Butterfinger’s. Which reminds me, tonight I discovered Pinterest. Let’s just call it what it is: an obsession, and I’m taking no prisoners.

Recipe? Only if you’re prepared to go into an intense sugar coma, because these things are no joke.

You’ve been warned.

 

Oh boy this night get’s better: we watched Bridesmaids, played The Marriage Game (one of the only card games I’m good at it) and that led to a lot of secrets being divulged.

As Brette says, “What happens on free travel stays on free travel,” so I’m saying: “What happens in Searcy 205 stays in Searcy 205.”

Welcome October, it’s good to see you again.

 

 

I am and cue the name jokes! “Hey, it’s YOUR season.” Right you are.

Thankful Thursday

In class, we were told to think of who has broken our hearts & then to rip the paper to shreds. Later we symbolically put them back together. Can you tell my major is mostly girls?

 

 

 

I am and I’m featured at Hannah Explains It All. Check it out! You can never have enough of me. Wink.

on my heart

He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
--Psalm 91:4

Today I attended a lecture given by a girl who has lost her mother.

She shared Psalm 91:4 and it has been on my heart all day.

The Lord is amazing, overwhelming, and unchanging.

His goodness never ceases to amaze me.

His mercy never ceases to save me.

He is always there.

I am incredibly in love.

TGIM.

{1} Brette and I like to check our blood pressure when we go to Walmart. We also eat dinner at 5 PM and watch a lot of TLC. Pretty much, we’re old women.

{2} My good friend Sarah got engaged this weekend and I am SO thrilled for them! She asked me to take their Save the Date photos. I’m nervous and excited! And I’m not usually the girl that freaks out about the ring, but isn’t hers beautiful?!

{3) I WANT THESE PANTS! And see, I think I’m meant to get them. I was lusting after them on the Maurice’s website, and the very.next.day a girl in one of my classes had them on. I’m taking that as a sign.

Go Shawty, It’s Your Birthday!

 

September: Birthday Motherlode!

Today I attended a birthday party in honor of a few great friends of mine—Grace, Claudia, and Joshua.

Theme: Black-tie Masquerade Activities: a murder mystery game, pizza, movie trivia, sneaking views of the Arkansas/Alabama game (let’s not talk about it), Xbox, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and napping.

Can I tell you a funny story? In the murder mystery, I played a character who had recently been broken up with by another character, played by my recent ex-boyfriend. We had fun with that. Ha. Haha.

Of course I was the #1 suspect when he was murdered:

Maybe I really am plotting his murder? But you didn’t hear that from me.

(Nahh, I have more class than that, don’tcha know.)

After we solved the mystery, we chowed on ice cream cake and then I conked out for about an hour. No lie. Who falls asleep at a party?

I think that qualifies me for the senior discount at IHOP, just sayin’. 

Any party that offers me entertainment, food and a nap, I give 5 stars:

*****

Happy Birthday Grace!

Happy Birthday Claudia!

Happy Birthday Joshua!

 

 

I amand let’s do this again next year, same time?

I could give you full details of my wonderful day and of the awesome Iota Chi picnic function tonight, but instead I’ll just say:

Happiness Found.

I am and we won the three-legged race, oh yes we did.
