No Shoes in the Fridge!

Dress - London Times // Shoes - Mossimo

Yeah, I've been really MIA the past few weeks :/ It's ridiculous...as soon as I thought I was getting over the flu I got a really bad cold! I know, I know...enough excuses already. But seriously, blogging has not been my top priority obviously. I got the camera back when I visited my family yesterday so I plan to get some photos this next week. But yeah, since I'm still feeling ridiculously tired I'm gonna get back to my Arrested Development/Game of Thrones marathon. Yes, yes, all my homework's done. Thank goodness. I really just need to veg and do nothing! So yeah, just a quick post to let y'all know I'm still here!

Oh, and yes I did actually find a pair of shoes in the fridge. I assure you I'm not that unorganized--I was just so out of it that I put a pair of shoes in the fridge when I got back home yesterday :p

So, Caffeine...We Finally Meet

Dress - Mossimo....other stuff? I have no idea. This dress shrunk like 3 sizes in the dryer (yes, I followed the instructions....and it still shrunk). So I just decided to give the dress to Cat instead. Doesn't she look adorable? Except for those last few faces. What can I say! She likes mocking me!

I'm back! Well, sort of. People, it's been a rough week again. I've barely checked other people's blogs and I've barely written anything on my own. In fact, I think this is my first official September post. It's not that I don't have time to blog...it's that I still don't feel better after getting really sick on the beach vacation last month. Anyways, keep me in your prayers 'cause long days at school are tough when I don't feel 100%

Anyways, I honestly don't think there is a more unflattering way to wear this skirt. But hey, I needed something quick to throw on last minute and...this is what happened! So yeah, a few pictures in the woods again. I went to my parent's house for the weekend so that's why. And, when I drove back home, I totally forgot to bring the camera with me! So I can't get outfit pictures this week :( I do, however, have a few more posts saved up from the summer. So I may use one or two of those I guess!

I suppose you're wondering about the post title. I believe I've shared with you the fact that caffeine has little to no effect on me. Which is awesome when you have insomnia and are usually tired all the time. One day I drank about two liters of mountain dew voltage, several cokes, and some coffee...and then I fell right asleep. 5 hour energy? Nah. Red Bull? Nope. Expresso? Nothing. Seriously though, it's not because I just got used to it, caffeine has never had any effect on me. Until yesterday. During web design my friends and I were so tired that when we got a break we went to go get coffee or something, anything, to wake us up. And one of my friends told me to try NOS. Um, well...it definitely worked! People, caffeine is amazing! I went from just-about-to-pass-out to omg-lets-go-run-a-marathon-and-do-tons-of-stuff. It was fantastic! I was typing at lighting speed! My handwriting was even worse than normal 'cause I was thinking so much faster than I could write! I could hear colors! I also couldn't sleep that night. But hey, it was great to actually be awake for once.

So tell me...what's you're caffeinated beverage of choice?

I'd Rather Wear Pajamas...

Dress - London Times // Belt - Cato's // Shoes - Mossimo (closeouts at Marc's) // Scarf - Thrifted // Balmstain - Revlon Cherish

I think it's weird how much I really love this outfit considering how bright it is...and how much pink there is! But seriously, this dress is so comfortable. Not to mention it looks great on me, if I do say so myself, haha. 

Anyways, I wore this Thursday to classes and definitely not today. I kind of threw some clothes on to drive to my parent's house, but other than that it was a pajama day! Not gonna lie, first week of school was rough.  I was so sick that the first few days I could barely speak! And some of my teachers nicely said "Oh, I hope you get your voice back soon!" Yeah. When I do get my voice back they are going to regret saying that. I'm a loud person.

So, yeah. Pajama day. I spend almost the entire day just doing nothing. Well, nothing productive. It was awesome! I watched The Monkees, The Mighty Boosh, random YouTube videos, played Diablo III for a couple hours...oh, and watched some Revolution! Have you seen that show? It's pretty awesome! I just found out it was created by the same guy who created Supernatural...so that might explain why I immediately liked it. So I'm feeling a ton better now after being able to rest. And hopefully after this long weekend I'll be all ready for classes! Hope y'all enjoy your weekend too!!

Does Anyone Else Hate Thinking of Titles?

Shirt - Faded Glory // Skirt - GAP (Thrifted) // Shoes - Hotcakes // Necklace - Forever21 // Balm Stain - Revlon Romantic // Scarf - Thrifted? Maybe, I guess. I don't really know. I just found it in the dress up stuff at my parent's house.

See the scarf? Yeah, we're gonna pretend that was there in the picture of my outfit for the first day of school (first outfit with the pinkish floral dress). I knew something was missing in the pictures!! Anyways, like this skirt? Just thrifted it yesterday! My sister needed some shirts to wear with black jeans and I happened to find this skirt for me! 

So, I'm starting to feel a bit better from being sick all last week. Being so sick made the first week of school so fun! Seriously, in one class we weren't even allowed to take water in with us! I was just like Ok, but when I cough during your entire class just remember who said no water. That said, coughing is almost gone!! Yeah! I was going to go home for the entire weekend, but I really need to just rest and do nothing for a bit so I can (hopefully) get completely well. I was supposed to do that today after class, but I got home today and just had to clean my house. But, I already feel better now that I my stuff is almost moved in and put away!

Btw, love the pictures? Yeah, this is basically what I was doing when I started my blog. Except I'm using a real camera instead of a cell phone camera...and I'm using a real tripod instead of masking tape. My photographer transferred to Kent :( I also don't have the forest to photograph in...and I don't have a backyard either. So, we'll see what happens with pictures. I think there are some parks nearby, but I still just don't like taking pictures in front of people. I also don't even have a sibling to help now :/ Stay with me while I get stuff all figured out! So please excuse my stellar photography and my I have no idea what I'm doing poses. Anyways, hope y'all have a great weekend!!!

School Outfits!

What?? Seriously? An outfit post? Finally! I just realized I've done like...well, one outfit post this entire month. Well, I guess I posted my outfits at the beach, but this is the first official outfit post since the beginning of August. Anyways, these are the outfits I wore the first three days of school! Love the first one--the dress is so super comfy! Second one I like too. And I'm really glad that the third one turned out alright. Here's why... 

So this morning I woke up feeling alright considering that I'm still pretty sick. Then I hear this weird whining noise in the background. Guess what! It's the alarm on my cellphone...that was really quiet for some reason. And it's not my You Should Probably Get Up in the Next 15 Minutes alarm. It's the PANIC! YOU HAVE TO LEAVE IN 15 MINUTES alarm. So I got ready in record time today! And I basically walked out of the house with just some random clothes I somehow found in the huge mess in my room as I'm trying to unpack!

I'm definitely glad to be back to regular outfit posts, but since I am still a bit sick I really need to get some sleep. So goodnight, y'all!

I Promise I'm Not Crazy...

...except that I totally am. It's been a crazy past few days. We got home from South Carolina late Saturday, I had to drive out to my house with the rest of my stuff on Sunday, and then I started classes Monday morning. Aaaand, I've been really sick the past few days. So fun! I am almost better--I'm just super tired and I'm disrupting all my classes with my constant coughing. Great start to the school year :p I do think my classes this semester will actually be beneficial. But we'll see...

I do apologize about the unexpected several day hiatus from blogging. I desperately need to finish unpacking everything. I did, however, finally find the camera! So I have a couple pictures for you. Not of me... But, I do hope to get back to outfit posts soon! Since I have the camera and I think I might know where the tripod is, I might try to get some pictures tomorrow...but we'll see.

Anyways...I have a kitchen now! Yeah! And this is the first time I've used the stove! Aaaaand...BREAKFAST FOR DINNER!!!!!

I don't think I've really talked a lot about the house I live in during the school year. But, long story short, it needed a lot of renovation and because of that I spent some time living in the basement with just a microwave and a refrigerator in in the garage. That is a story for another time though! But I do have a kitchen now. And my refrigerator in in said kitchen--not in the garage. Oh, I'm also not sleeping in the basement anymore (so don't worry!) Weeeell, yes. One day I will tell y'all the rest of that interesting tale. Which is technically still in progress since there's still a little bit of renovating to do...

Well, that's it for today!

Take Some Jelly, Take Some Fish...

This is the trail we took our evening walks on! Yeah...the camera doesn't take amazing low-light photos. So, I had to walk it during the daytime to get some pictures!

Just mom and I went on the walk today, but we ran into dad on the way back to the house.

Aaaand then we took a little detour and decided to brave the beach access trail again. We tried this trail a few days ago ...and it was very swampy.  We couldn't even get around the swampish parts so we had to walk right through them. We now both have a weird rash that we think if from that nasty water. But, no. We never learn. So we did the trail again. What's gonna happen? I get another rash? Yeah...already got it.

This was the coolest little tunnel! I thought it was very reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. My mom said it reminded her of The Shire. Either way it's cool.

What you don't know is that while trying to take these pictures we were being eaten alive by bugs! I seriously never get bug bites...but this was horrible! It was fine when we were just walking...but standing? Heck no. You can also see some of the swamp in the background.

There were so many jellyfish! This is probably the coolest one we found though. Unfortunately, a few of the kids got stung as well. Anyways, every time I saw a jellyfish I started singing Julian Smith's jellyfish song. 

The lack of shells was a bit disappointing....but this morning they were actually a few decent ones! Yes, I said morning. I actually got up before noon....on vacation. Hey, I didn't want to waste a minute of the last day!

We also rented a kayak! I love kayaking, but some of the kids have never been kayaking before!

This picture turned out so well! Kayaking with my mom :_

Aren't they so cute!

We try to make a bigger sand castle every year we go...this year's was a bit dissapointing. I'll have to go back and see if I can find some from previous years. Anyways, I don't know what's going on with my dad's hair...but that curl on his forehead makes him look a bit like Clark Kent :p

Like the end of any vacation go on we had to attempt to take a family picture. Sadly, this is the best picture we got (I'm kind of hidden on the right-hand side). But hey, this is definitely my family! And yet another picture my mom will kill me for posting. I think she wants to keep up the illusion that we're a normal family. Um, we're not. Yeah, this is us.
