Fri-YAY

Guys. Today is a great day. It's supposed to be 85 degrees, I'm wearing a shirt that says "mermaids have more fun" + my horrorscope today says:
 "You might think about spontaneously purchasing an airline ticket to satiate your craving for adventure now that the Moon is camping out in your 9th House of Journeys. But this wanderlust is not simply about getting out of town; you have a powerful longing to experience something outside of your current reality. Your ability to create a fantasy to your liking works in your favor today. It doesn't matter if you can't take time off to go on a wild safari or a shopping excursion in Milan; you can travel to the distant edges of the cosmos and back without ever having to leave home." 
so obviously today is a Fri-YAY. also am I the only one who calls it a "horror-scope" or....? Anyways. Since I have had a week's worth of a writers rut, Melissa totally helped me out with today's post. Here's what I've been pinning lately!!
  1. Helene's Instagram Challenge -- even though I cheated yesterday + it was only the second day..
  2. These free brushed fonts from He & I 
  3. Planning that next trip to Europe around beer seems like a good idea to me....
  4. I love the Free People blog + their Monday quotes
  5. TASTY FRENCH FRIES THANKS TO MICHELLE #whateverImgettingcheesefries
  6. I really need these fancy arrowhead necklaces. all of them
ALSO. IF YOU'RE NOT FOLLOWING ME ON THE TWITTER (hey ps why not? it's a party!) I discovered this yesterday + died. 

HOW CUTE IS JT WHEN GARTH ACTUALLY COMES OUT? DID YOU SING THE THIRD VERSE? fun fact: I've been known to harass sass people who cover that song live + don't sing the third verse.... What's up with you guys? Are you as ready for the weekend as I am?

Thoughts While Trying a DIY Hair Mask

Everyone is all on about how incredible coconut oil is for your hair + how easy it is to make these fancy home treatments for your hair. So I figured if it could save me some money -- why not? [side note :: coconut oil is kind of pricey..] So I used this guide + set off making my own hair mask thing. I doubled the recipe because I have so much hair -- I always need 2.5 boxes of hair dye, etc. I had to wait 30 minutes before I could wash the stuff out of my hair -- so I had plenty of time to think...


  • that was a lot of sticky honey.. I wonder if I'll get ants in my hair..
  • who looks at coconut oil + honey then says "hey that would be a good thing to put in my hair!" I spend most of my time trying to keep food out of my hair!
  • is my hair going to smell like sunscreen and graham crackers forever? 
  • what if I don't get all of this out of my hair? then I'll definitely have ants in my hair.
  • I wonder if an ant bites my head if the venom will get into my brain.. 
  • if this doesn't work -- what on earth am I going to do with all of that coconut oil?
  • I wonder if I can eat this stuff.. it smells like something you could eat..
  • what if I didn't spread it evenly? what if only some of my hair looks shiny + the rest just looks like dirty dish water?!
  • is it okay to rinse this down the shower drain? when I read about oil pulling they said not to spit it into the sink...
  • I should have tried that oil pulling thing at the same time!
  • has it been thirty minutes? oh no, just five. okay. well what happens if I forget I put it in my hair + then wait an hour? 
  • man. my fingers are super sticky. I should  have worn gloves or something. now I'm going to have jam hands all day.
  • this is a lot messier than it looked in that blog how-to. I wonder if I'm going to be able to get all of this out of the sink..
I think I managed to wash all of the hair mask out of my hair [I washed it twice, for good measure, which probably defeated the purpose] then I even used the blow dryer to see the final results. I wasn't too pleased last night -- but this morning it definitely looks at least a little shiny and even feels softer. I learned some things about this stuff though -- next time I'll get one of those bottles like they give you to dye your hair and some gloves.  I will probably try it again though -- because it's cheaper than going to the hair salon!

Have you tried any of these hair masks? Do they work for you?

Thanksgiving Pinspiration

I know it's late, I literally started this post on Wednesday and never had time to finish it!
 I literally laughed about this for at least 5 minutes.

Y'all, it's officially time for Christmas decorations. I would LOVE a wine bottle christmas tree! Too bad I threw my collection away before moving home!

Thankful



I


I want to do the whole "Things I am Thankful For" thing that everyone is doing on Facebook and Twitter. BUT I know if I do it that way, I will totes forget a day and then be all "oh I'm thankful for my lack of memory" or something clever that won't be clever, and people will laugh at me and say they're laughing with me... (but I know you're not!)

Anyways. So here I've just decided to make a list of 30 things I am thankful for. Even if it's cheating.


  1. My family, obvs. 
  2. My DG sisters. I know that I can always call them up and be like "you won't believe what this bitch did!" or skype while drinking our bottle of wine over whoever just got engaged. 
  3. My daddy. I know I said family already, but I'm thankful for my daddy twice. He knows I hate asking for money, so sometimes he just gives it to me. He always says it's a loan, but never makes me pay it back. He knows how to trick me into doing what I know deep down I have to do and how to help me feel better even when we both know I'm in a tight spot.
  4. My friends who weren't in DG, y'all are awesome too. 
  5. The University of Georgia. I learned so much OUTSIDE of the classroom. I gained so much, and I will NEVER ever forget it. 
  6. The beach. There's something calming about sleeping with the window open and hearing the crash of waves on the sand - I love it. 
  7. Rainy days. Y'ALL. I love rainy days. I don't love having to go to work on rainy days. I love rainy Sundays more than any other rainy day of the week. I love to lay in the bed with the windows open and listen to it storm. Maybe I really just have a thing for moving water.
  8. The lake! The lake is hands down my favorite place to get day drunk. It's totally safer than the ocean for day drinking, and it's so laid back. I love the lake. 
  9. Sunny, hotter than seven hell days where I have to work. There's NOTHING better than working a game where it's a zillion degrees to come home and jump in a swimming pool that is freezing. Okay, the water is probably like 68 degrees. But that's cold as all get out, y'all.
  10. Pools. I guess I need to be thankful for those too, because then I wouldn't like hot hot hot days. I have a thing for bodies of water, not sorry about it. 
  11. The holidays. The big ones. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter. I love LOVE having nothing to do but eat tooo much food, watch either a football game or a baseball game, and spend quality time with my family. 
    1. I love that the babies are still young enough to be SO excited about Santa that we have to fight to get them to sleep past 5am and that we all get to camp out on the floor in one of the upstairs rooms. 
  12. Summertime. Even though my job is super summer intensive, something about the heat & the sunshine will always feel like freedom. It feels less like you have to worry about work the next day - even though you still do. It feels like it's totally legit to go on vacation for three days - it's Memorial day weekend! Whatever!
  13. Those cheesy claymation Christmas movies. I will never ever outgrow those ridiculous movies.
  14. College football. Do I really need to explain that?
  15. Every. Single. Morning. I am blessed to be able to wake up every morning. Every single day is a gift - so I always try to do whatever I can to make it a good one.
  16. The end of the day. Try as I might, sometimes the day defeats me - it happens to the best of us. So I'm glad I can come home, take a hot shower, get in bed and watch Friends reruns. 
  17. OH THE FACT THAT NICK RERUNS FRIENDS EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. 
  18. The simplicity of travel. I'm glad that it's easy to drive or fly just about anywhere in the country - living far from home & being in this long distance thing have made me so so thankful for the [relative] ease of modern day travel. 
  19. Having a job, for the next like... three weeks.. and the prospect of having one with the BRAVES in January. I would die, y'all, just absolutely die.
  20. Finding my NYE dress! Thanks LC!
  21. Cable TV/Internet - it's a blessing and a curse - but today I'm counting it as a blessing. 
  22. PUPPIES. Oh my gosh, puppies. And the way puppies smell and the little squeaky sounds they make before they master barking. How they're ALWAYS excited to see you, even if you wake up from a nap. Also how they'll always be puppies even when they're 15 years old, blind, deaf, and sleep almost the entire day. 
  23. Glitter. Isn't it weird how just a little sparkle can instantly make your day better? Sometimes I just want everything I own to have glitter on it, but I guess that might be weird since I'm knockin' on the door of being 24. (WHAT. I can't. I just can't.)
  24. Music. Baby, you a song you make me wanna roll my windows down and cruiiiiseee.
  25. Always, always, being able to go home. 
  26. Kraft Mac & Cheese. Without that, I'd probably starve to death. It's my go-to. In fact, I'm probably going to make some when I'm done with this. 
  27. Cheap, cheap wine that is surprisingly delicious. It's always a great surprise for broke girls like me. 
  28. TiVo. Where would we be without TiVo? Or google for that matter. 
  29. Quick phone calls that turn into two hours of laughter and plans for the future. OH AND SKYPE EVEN MORE SO. 
  30. My KitchenAid stand mixer! 




SO there you have it. 30 things I'm thankful for. I'm sorry if you don't feel like they're meaningful or whatever, but I like to keep them in mind - especially when I'm having a bad day. I like to say a little thanks to the Man upstairs for these things. I'm human, y'all, I will always want things I don't have. Like right now? I want a house, with hardwood floors throughout, a fenced in yard for my puppy, a big tree for a swing, and a swimming pool. I realize that I can't have that now, it definitely doesn't keep me from pinning all of the things it will have. I want to get married, I think I want babies, but right now? I'm really happy with what I have and where I am in my life. I feel like I'm discovering a lot about myself and it's awesome.

What's [p]Inspiring Me Lately

I know. I'm the worst. Here you go:





Actually. I think I'm just going to elaborate on this one, how's that for something new?

Today a nice gentleman gave me a free drink with my lunch because I had such a big smile on my face for a Monday. I didn't even realize that I was smiling (which should come at no surprise to anyone who has been around me when I'm hungry - ha). He told me it brightened his day. He's not the first person to say that to me lately - and it generally makes me smile a little bigger.

I've had a lot going on - and I thought it was bringing me down - but hearing someone I've never met say something along the lines of "you brightened my day today" or "I wish I could be that happy" really makes all the difference. Once I realized that taking the positive of each day & focusing on that could change the entire course of the day - I latched onto it. I've been working on that since, and I don't plan on stopping.

Today, for example, started off with a phone call that put me in a good mood. I was then productive with the rest of my morning until now regardless of the snares and setbacks I've run into just today. Regardless of the negative energy in this small work space, regardless of anyone being rude or cutting me off on the way to work, today is a good day.

So, everyone, smile at a stranger today! You'll never know the impact that small act has on someone else's day.
