four things

+ This is the way my face has looked a lot lately, & I like it.

+ I bought a super cute bikini! It ended up being pretty expensive & I cant believe I spent that much money on something I wont be able to wear after the 11th of April for 6 months but oh well, it will make me happy until I leave!

+ If I don't have real Mexican food soon I'm going to die. I'm seriously on my death bed here!

+ My week has been very uneventful so far. Besides working 9 hour days, sleeping and talking to boyfriend I haven't done much of anything.

okay, its 4am & since I cant go back to sleep I'm going to go curl up in bed, watch the old movie channel until I have to get up & get ready for work at 5:30am

Have a beautiful day.

You deserve it

Dear Rodeo,

{picture from last years rodeo}

tomorrow I'm coming for you & I'm going to eat every unhealthy, disgusting thing you have in stock.

I've been dreaming about it all week

Weekend Recap

Spent the weekend with Rachie!

My adopted niece ;) tell me she isn't adorable! Go ahead! Try!

I always eat so well there! You have no idea! Its like homemade food heaven! Me & Rach busted out our aprons & made some steak tacos. It was D-LISH!
So Saturday night I was sitting on Rachel's bed staring at her room & I realized, 'Holy Crap! Her room is amazing!'.
I grew up in this room. In fact a lot, maybe even most, of the words written on these walls are by me. Its like when you grow up around something you don't see the extremely brilliance of it anymore!
So decided to share a little preview of it.

Kevin's Birthday

For those of you that don't know,
I'm a nanny,
To this little cutie pie.
His name is Kevin & today he turns five.
I picked him up from school with donuts in the shape of footballs in hand..
He was pretty happy.
The only sad part about today is knowing that he is getting another year older & sooner or later he wont need me anymore!
I hope that time is much, much further in the future because I love my job :)

Last Weekend, I know I'm late.

This weekend I spent with my best friend Rachel at her house.
We made bread from scratch,
hung out with our good friend Mich who is visiting from Germany & staying with us,
Introduced him to 'Step Brothers'. Like seriously, How can you not have seen that movie!?
all in all,
great weekend.

{my hat that I made.}


This picture makes me laugh so hard!
I don't even know what we were doing!

{Me & Baby London. What a cutie!}

Sick Days!

I've been sick the last two days.

I THANKFULLY had the day off today unexceptedly!

At first it was great, for a little bit. An excuse to not have to clean my room or do chores around the house after my 8 to 8 shift Saturday.

My body felt like someone had used it for a punching bag, but I can deal with body soreness (I was a dancer for 14 years... nuff said),

I had a slight fever,

A little sinus headache but nothing some strong meds couldn't help with.

But my throat has gotten more & more sore (I CANT deal with throat soreness)!

This morning I woke up miserable!

& My momma brought my some ding dong's which made me feel better :)

{excuse my sick face, unbrushed hair, lack of make-up & bad quality (they were taken with my webcam)}

So I've been laying in bed for the last two days & as much as I enjoy being lazy, I wish it was at my own will.

& NOW my mother is going to watch "Eat, Pray, Love" WITHOUT ME!

kill me now

On another note,

This song has inspired me to learn to play the piano.

My taste buds can dream...

I wrote this post just to say...

I really REALLY want a Greek Salad.

I don't care if its 6:30 in the morning.

My mouth wants what it wants

Fruit Cleanse: Day 2

The hungry wasn't what bothered me so much today as it was that I'm going through withdrawals and EVERYTHING sounds good to me!

I WANT A DONUT!

I mainly ate banana's today,

yum yum!

Fruit Cleanse: Day 1

We'll today I started the fruit cleanse.

I'm excited about this cleanse!

I am doing the fruit cleanse mainly to cleanse the toxins from my body!

I've been eating so much crap lately that my body feels disgusting and weighed down.

I've felt like I had a food baby for a week or so.

After I become a vegetarian it has been so much easier to tell when my tummy is filled with crap.

Hardest thing so far:

Hunger!

It seems no matter how much fruit I eat I still want a pizza..

Its driving me crazy!

Ihop? Oh man, I hope!

On the fourth of July I drove to Rachel's house after church & she rode home with me.

But we took a little detour...

She had been talking about how she wanted Ihop for weeks & weeks, & needless to say..

she was happier than a kid in a candy store.
yum yum!
We love Ihop!

Recipe: S'more Cupcakes

Sorry for my low quality picture, took it with my phone.

I know this looks a little strange but if you try it, I promise you will make them again, again, & again.

What you need:

Devils food cake mix

Marshmallow Cream

How to:

*Bake cupcakes just like you would normally (directions on the back of the box)

*Cover top of cupcakes (after they cool) with marshmallow creme like you would with icing.

*Place in the broiler until the tops are lightly browned,

WHICH

only takes a second!

Which is the reason mine our a little darker than 'light' brown,

I learned the hard way.
