L: [ab]normal activities going on up in here.

You miss me and my ridiculousness? Ohmilanta I’m so flattered. In that case, here are some things you probably didn’t really want to know about.

- – - – -

First, I have recently discovered I love this song and next year on the night of September 21st [see lyrics if you are confused] I would like something interesting to happen. Then I can actually relate to this Earth, Wind & Fire song. So make something happen, people. Make it happen. MMMk?

Secondly, on the right is a very blurry picture of what has become my uniform.

  • Skinny jeans [preferably in some floral fabric that really should just be curtains]
  • riding boots [the preppier the better]
  • sweater
  • no jewelry

AND TA-DAHHH!! Now you know my secrets. Isn’t that, like, the most LIFE ALTERING information you’ve ever received?

I knew it would be.

Also, the messiness in the background is for real. I’m what you would call, oh, a person who doesn’t mind living in a pig sty. I’m rather un-domesticated when it comes to being neat and tidy.

 

THIRD[ly?], I found this daisy by a bunch of leaves the other day on my walk home. I think the daisy is slightly confused. WRONG SEASON, daisy. WRONG SEASON! Better luck surviving in May, girl.

 

 

That’s all I have time to write. I have, ya know, a real job.

you’re so vain

Because I’ve been “busy” and boring and, well, mostly lazy, I haven’t posted in a while. Seriously, though, nothing very interesting is happening in my life. However, many exciting things are happening at church. Which sorta makes up for my uninteresting life.

{Seriously, I’m the most boring 19 year old you’ll ever meet. Ever. Ever, ever, ever. As many evers as Taylor Swift sings in her new song. And, no, I haven’t actually listened to it. I am that girl who quotes lyrics to songs that she hasn’t actually listened to. Congratulations, you officially know someone who is that lame}

ANYWAY.

I just came to tell you that I got my hair colored. I’m growing my hair out for no real reason other than I want to double check that I don’t like having long hair {who does that?}.

I went to the salon today. Here’s the picture I took minutes after my dear sister colored and cut and dried and curled my hair:

And that, dear whoever is reading this super short, super lame post, is all I have to say.

Because I’m so vain that all I talk about is my hair. My HAIR, people. My hair. And that is dumb.

C: A date with The Music Man and my tea

Posted: September 4, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: A Bunch of Random, Travel? Yes, we do., Uncategorized | Leave a comment »

 

  • It’s a small crowd here at home tonight. Just me, Little Brother, and Sister #3. What are we doing? We’re watching The Music Man starring Robert Preston and Shirley Jones — I am beyond excited! I haven’t seen it in years and it’s one of my favorite musicals. Haven’t seen it? You need to watch it!

 

 

  • I’m sick again. A cold has taken over my life once again. If you know me, it’s something that takes place way too often. My friend across the street has similar problems. His suggestion? Orange juice. Lots of orange juice. So I’m drinking OJ and tea.

 

  • I’ve been thinking about where I’ve been this year, and apparently this year has been a year for traveling. So far I’ve traveled to Germany, Spain, D.C., Michigan, and North Carolina. Goodness, it’s felt busy. I’m glad to be home for a while now.

 

Anyway. Those are just some random tidbits. I hope your evening has been simply lovely.

 

C: Nail polish and Walmart

Posted: August 23, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: A Bunch of Random, Summertime, That's Dumb Wednesday, Uncategorized | Leave a comment »

I know. By the title you’re just slightly lost. The only real connection they have is that Walmart sells nail polish and that we Sea Foam Girls help them out by taking multiple colors home to doll ourselves up.

But here’s the story.

Yesterday L and I were running errands at our famous Walmart (we also realized that almost every time we go into town we usually end up there… we’ve got some issues). I picked up some cosmetics, got a new grey nail polish, met up with L who had just pulled out some paint chips to try a new craft thing, and after getting a few picture frames we headed towards produce.

*So far, great story, right? I know. You’re on the edge of your seat! Just hold on*

The first few items we grabbed really have nothing to do with the good part of the story, so I’m just skipping over them. {sorry boring food items}

I then guided L towards the cream cheese area. No, I’m not kidding, I really did guide her. She was on her phone doing something and I literally had to tell her she needed to stop because “this is where the cream cheese is!”. So I dropped her there and headed for some Orange Juice (something I always love).

So I was strolling along, blah blah blah, and then *crack/splat*…. < that’s the sound I heard, just in case you didn’t catch onto that.

At first I didn’t know where it came from! Honest. So I took a step only to realize something was on my toe. I looked down and there it was –

Multiple puddles, a cracked glass bottle, and a newly decorated grey foot. No. Joke.

I BROKE THE NAIL POLISH!

I stood there in shock, almost like I had walked upon a dead body — ’cause you know, I’ve done THAT so many times!

Eventually I called over to L for help, and then she went looking for some Walmart employees that could help us. It felt like I was standing there forever, just waiting for her to come back with help on its way…

I never wanted to be that person. You know, the person that makes a mess of something in a store and has to embarrassingly stand there while the worker cleans it up??? But now it’s me. Hooray.

{At least I didn’t just walk away from my mess — right, J?}

 

So that’s my story. I hope your Walmart stops have been far more successful than ours.

C: Before and After

Sorry it’s taken so long to put some pictures up of the bedroom — {major fail with that one!}.

But they’re here now!

Before:

C: Weekend Sentences

Posted: July 27, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: A Bunch of Random, Summertime, Uncategorized, Weekends | 1 Comment »

It’s the beginning of the weekend which means I’m that much closer to seeing J and L again!

Just a few more days.

The Cavern is repainted completely, and I’m just letting it dry and cure and what not before moving in our loads upon loads of things.

Goal: Somehow use fewer shelves in our room so that we don’t block the minimal natural lighting. {crossing my fingers}

I’m sitting in L’s office chair right now. Therefore, I took a picture. I thought it necessary.

 

 

 

I found these treasures:

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Sister #4 , for the lovely picture. You were  are always good with those!

C: First Breakfast

Posted: July 21, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: A Bunch of Random, Summertime, Travel? Yes, we do., Uncategorized, Weekends | 1 Comment »

I’m awake. Earlier than usual. And I can tell when I wake up earlier than what I’m used to because I’m more hungry — strange? Maybe. But it’s an excuse to eat homemade bread with jam and a homemade granola bar accompanied with coffee. YUM.

At 5:30 I said my goodbyes to J and L as they make their way to Honduras for one week. [they're pretty excited]

One week can bring a lot of change, and that’s what I’m hoping to do with the Cavern.

I know I know! “Changing the Cavern?!” 

It’s true — It is about that time.

 

Although the Cavern has treated us well, it’s time for a new look.

 

I’ve got paint sitting on the floor waiting to be used.

 

I’ve already emptied the room quite a bit even while we were still living in it — cause I’m pretty sure you don’t need artwork hanging on the walls in order to fall asleep. {HELLO!}

 

Little Brother has a little “nook” in his room that he doesn’t use. It’s the perfect space to store a lot of our things — Win.

 

I think we’ve told you about the “Post-It” wall, right?

 

Well, it had to come down.

 

7 categories for 7 days.

 

Lots of silly notes that don’t make sense and pictures that would never pass as real art.

 

And of course we enjoyed some time in the Cavern with J — She’s home for good!

 

 

I’ll be posting again when this new look is done (I’m crossing my fingers!).

New paint, some de-cluttering, and lets hope L likes it when she gets home!

The girls did many many things over the weekend — although half of those “things” are mostly chores and such… (Not so thrilling).

 

But yesterday afternoon, when both L and C were completely exhausted, they found Niece #4 extremely hilarious.

 

C: Thursday Night Rambles

Posted: July 5, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: A Bunch of Random, Summertime, Uncategorized | 1 Comment »

Today, peach Chobani yogurt appeared in our fridge. (heaven!)

It seriously is one of my favorites.

 

(gotta love the whole “taken with a webcam so the letters are backwards deal” — oh joy)

I know now who got the yogurt, which ruins the excitement of having your favorite yogurt mysteriously appear in your refrigerator, but nonetheless it is still good.

 

Tonight L came home and arrived in the Cavern with some strawberries in hand, so we sat in bed enjoying the delicious fruit.

 

(confession… i love us)

 

For some reason we have a banjo in our house. I don’t know why. But who cares how it got here, I just take every chance I get to take it out of its case and pluck a few good ‘ole banjo strings!

 

 

(again — webcam backwards deal. gah!)

And even though I am far from any professional status when it comes to banjo playing, it makes me quite content just being able to play a few easy chords. LOVE.

I mean, seriously — I’m able to play Keith Urban and Josh Turner on the banjo! What more could I need?!

(that was a rhetorical question…)

 

Update on those Cavern Girls.

Sometimes L comes home from work and discovers things like this:

 

Appetizing? That’s the exact word they used!… But not really.

L’s reaction? Something similar to having a mental breakdown.

 

Speaking of mental breakdowns…

L and C (and everyone else in the North Country) have been experiencing some bipolar weather. The consequence? C has been drinking hot chocolate, which seems normal — but it’s JUNE.

 

 

What’s J up to?

1) Hanging out with our Shmelville girl… Who, by the way, is making very similar faces in both pictures — I guess someone’s in a rut!

 

 

 

2)She is counting down the days until she is home.  (‘nough said.)

 

3) Making C’s day by sending her a text saying “Gosh you belong in Georgia”.

 

  • If you’re bored of your summer music choices, here’s what the girls recommend:

J: Restless by Alison Krauss (some country tunes are never a bad idea!)

L: Cameo Lover by Kimbra

C: Cold Shoulder by Josh Turner (surprised?)
