Look! My legs are purple and I'm not even wearing tights

More like my legs are purple BECAUSE I'm not wearing tights. I've got spring fever guys. And the weather doesn't seem to care. That's OK I guess. Cause most of my weekend was spent cuddled up inside anyway. Forgive me for not posting this weekend. Can we still be friends? I was spending all my time soaking up husband before he had to leave this morning. *tear*

I'll be bragging about him later.

But until then, I'm off to be alone for the whole week.

Anyone up for a sleepover? My bed can fit at least 5. 

10 if we suck it in the whole night.

I'm game.

Can you please just hire me? And after that, can we move to Bali?

That's what husband hypothetically asked me the other day.
I said yes. And then I googled houses in Bali for about an hour, got on the distracted bus and rode it to school.

Blast him and his phenomenal questions.

Psst. Come visit me here today. We're talking about red lipstick. 

Awkward and Awesome Thursday!

Awkward
- The fact that I'm even bothering to take pics of this outfit right now. But you should know that I have sweatshirt days too. And they are extra delicious.
- Fake nerd glasses. Which is why I just got my first pair.
- Stretching my arms a little bit in class and smacking my isle-pacing professor right in the gut. Either he didn't feel it, or we already made a "I'm going to ignore awkward moments like these" pact at the beginning of the semester that I just wasn't aware of -- cause there was noooooo acknowledgment. Double awkward. BAM.
- My bangs first thing in the morning. It's a serious injustice not taking pictures of those things.
- How many 'skater-ish boys' came up to me like 
"oooohhhhhmyyyyyyygooosssshhhhhhh your sweatshirtttttttttttt"
Calm Down.
-Running into plants. And old friends. Simultaneously.
- This picture from middle school. You're welcome.
- Running into a very full lecture class one minute - I repeat ONE MINUTE late, and trying to sign the roll. Professor looks at the clock, then looks at his watch, taking I don't know, a good 74389728 seconds to inspect it and finally says "Op. No roll for you missy" ... and then I take the long walk of shame to the back of the class. It's situations like this when I wish A: that I owned an invisibility cloak and B: that it was socially acceptable for me to throw my books down, yell adolescently "Well fine! I can see that NOBODY loves me around here! " and run sobbing out of class.

Awesome
-Husband's random G-chat:

31 minutes

1:10 PM Tyson: you at home still?

1:11 PM hiya!! karatee chop!

  I wants food!!

  I wants food and you!!

   baaaaah!- Mumford and Sons. Period.
- Husband wearing suspenders today. There's just something about them that make his lips that much more appealing.
- Writing stuff on my To-Do list that I've already done just so I can cross it off and admire how much I did that day.
- The sweetest lady ever getting me flowers yesterday. Thank you. You're wonderful.
- Stale Brownies. Go ahead and judge, but I'm a believer.
- Husband leaving on a business trip to Boston for a WHOLE week on Monday. This is neither awesome nor awkward. I need an "awful" category.
Just kidding. It's AWESOME for him. I can just be such a wimp-baby sometimes. {Oh yes. wimp-babies are real}

You know what to do! Link up your Awkward and Awesome's HERE!

1967

We love Idaho because it's pretty. And my friend Tara because she is mad skilled at photography. And her old 1967 Volkswagen because it has awesome {AWESOME} bumper stickers. Not even lyin'. Wanna see what all of our loves look like combined into a fun little afternoon? Dooya? Dooya? Click here. And while you're at it, be sure to give Tara some love my friends. I mean. Her skillz are nutso. And yes I just spelled that with a z. What.

a day off from Monday

This is what my Monday morning looked like. Poor husband's morning looked like a computer desk and a couple of class-mates. How dreadful. {Sometimes I use the word dreadful when I'm feeling particularly proper and British. Like right now.} Anyway. It was the best morning ever. And that's saying something considering that most of it was spent screaming my cousin's name and squinching my eyes shut because his ears are broken. Since when did we decide it was a good idea to only ride our snowmobiles tipped completely sideways? As self appointed snow queen, I just decided ... never.

weekend

Shoes: Jessica Simpson, Skirt: c/o YesStyle, Belt: Thrifted, Top: H&M, Sweater: JCrew, Necklace: giveaway win c/o Pig and Pepper

Basically all you need to know right now is that my skirt twirls. 

Twirlssssssss.

And that I just had the most marvelous long weekend. 

Which included, but was not limited to: husband catching our stove on fire. Twice.

One day spent sleeping in till 10. And one spent getting up at 6.

A Sunday nap that was like woah

 A huge laundry and cleaning sesh. Pretty sure I got high on bleach that day.

Dinner with sissy, mom, husband and cousins at the fanciest restaurant in town -- Olive Garden. We really roll out the red carpet for our special guests around here.

Husband making pot roast.

And it being delicious.

Ignorning pretty much all of my homework until right now

Snowmobiling. And proudly catching some sweet air all. by. my. self. .... hmph

Lots and lots of husband kisses at a sweet little shoot with my friend.

Desperately wishing for a weekend repeat. Like maybe 5.

 And then I'll go back to real life.

If people feel like that's completely necessary.

it's her birfday

It's my sissy's birthday today! She's 20.

HOLY CRAP she's 20.

Not only is she 20. {20!} But she's smart, she's lovely, she's the funnest person to be around EVER and her hair is pretty much incredible.

Not much has changed since 1991.

I love you big little sis. 

HAAAAAAPPPPPYYY BIRTHDAY!

Hot Springs and giveaway winner announced!

We went to the Hot Springs last night with my sissy, my momma and my cousin. It was toasty warm and exactly the perfect activity for a cold friday night.

Even better? We still smell like stinky eggs.

detour

I'm over here today! And I wrote about how to dress your husband.

Cause I'm an expert. 

Yea ...

question for ya

Forgive me {pretty please?} for skipping out on Awkward and Awesome Thursday this week. They seem to be sneaking up on me faster and faster these days and frankly, my boring-as-all-get-out life this week hasn't merited many Awkward OR Awesome moments. So sorry Charlie. We can talk about how awkward I am next week K? Here's a tissue.

I have been cooking up a little plan in my noggin though, {originally hatched by my mom} and I need to get your thoughts. This could potentially be quite embarrassing, with me standing there at the end, rejected and heartbroken with no rose in my hand. {You do speak Bachelor don't you? I happen to be fluent.} SO. Here's the deal. I'm thinking {key word there} about having a 5000 party. Meaning that when that little number on the left there reaches 5000 friends, I want to throw a little celebration and meet some of you fabulous people. Like a little girl's night out on the town. Could be fun right?

So IF you think it could be fun {um. it will be}, IF you happen to be in the area, and IF you think you'd be available on some Saturday in either March or April ... would you let me know? I need to get some sort of venue figured out if we're gonna do this thang ... so a head count would be great. PA-LEASEE let me know in the comments if you think you would come and how many friends {or just your pretty little self} you would potentially be bringing.

Like I said ... this could end up being some kind of slightly embarrassing, Bachelor-esque rejection. But I thought I'd throw it out there.

P.S. Thanks for being my friend. I really would love to meet you.

The sun will come out ... TOMORROW! er ... yesterday

It was 50 whole degrees for two solid hours yesterday. And holy mamma jamma ... it was heaven.
I was tempted to pop on my swimmin suit and sunbathe amidst the snow heaps for a while. But that probably would've been counter productive.
We'll save the suit for the hot springs this weekend.

I'm gonna go back to my search for some great travel deals now.
Hot on the trail of something good my friends.
Hot. on. the. trail.

Boring

Jeans: Gap, Belt: Thrifted, Top: American Eagle, Watch: Gift, Necklace c/o Gold and Citrus

 Howdee do!

Did you have a good valentines day? Husband and I had a pretty boring one. {We celebrated early remember?} I got up super duper early so we could ride to school together {and get a good parking space ... and have husband quiz me on art history before class} and then we went to JB's for dinner. Which I pretty much begged on my knees for. JB's and I have a slightly unhealthy producer/consumer relationship. But I can't help it. I've been having this uncanny hankering for French Toast lately and husband has been kind enough to oblige. Except that he gets the grilled salmon. Which I glare at while I down my 4 pieces of bacon and tell myself I deserve it for stomping around in heels all day.

Everyone deserves bacon for that.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You poor babies. Sorry my life is boring. Here's something slightly more exciting for you. 

You see, I'm in a little competition. You see that Gold and Citrus necklace?

 Good. Cause you're gonna be seeing a lot more of it. I'll be styling it at least three different ways over the next few weeks. And then I'll be judged. {like on American Idol, minus JLo's hair}

The winner will get a sparkly new prize. And if I win, I might just give it away.

Or I might not. I haven't decided which shoulder angel I'll be listening to that day.

Valentine's Day Sleepover

We ignored the fact that Valentine's Day was on a Monday this year and celebrated a bit early.

It was our first time staying in for V-day. And I have to say. It was the best one yet. 

We ate crepes, chocolate dipped strawberries, a little bubbly, camped out in our living room and watched movies pretty much all night. It was my first time watching 10 Things I Hate about You and it might just have to become a V-day tradition.
