Highlights!!!

It's been a great week so far. :-) And today, my wonderful and amazing Mommy gave me highlights. Cause she's that awesome. For serious people. And I am so stinking happy. Here are some pictures:

My highlights! They turned out lighter than I expected, but I'm still happy. :-)

"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. . . . We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith." -Margaret D. Nadauld

*love*

I love these. Vintage aprons from Ser La Table. Very much.

Methinks I need one.

Alas, I am broke.

Such is my tale of woe.

Snow, dancing, and incredibly fun people!

Oh my. It's been a little while since I last posted. Well, a week. But it feels quite long.
Anyways, my visit to Lizzy's house was wonderful, and lots of fun. Only poor Lizzy got a terrible fever and missed out on most of the fun, she was resting.

And it SNOWED on Friday!!! Only by the time I got out to take pictures, it was mostly just ice.

Ice is so much fun to play in. It made for an awesome weekend full of happiness. Daddy took me out for Starbucks on the way to Lizzy's house and let me spontaneously run around in the ice like a mad woman. You know you have a good Daddy when he'll let you do that. And when he'll drive you to your friend's house with ice on the roads. So basically, I have the best Daddy in the world. <3

The rest of the weekend was filled with cold weather and laughter and food and dancing. :-) The Mayfields arrived at about 10 PM Friday evening. I made five large pizzas to feed all of us, and I made one of them the *special* way that Lizzy and I thought up, our own awesome recipe. :-) And I suppose I shouldn't take all the credit for the pizzas, cause Daniel M. helped me with one and made a pepperoni smiley face on it.  :-D

So that night we were planning on staying up all night having fun, but we crashed halfway through. We did, however, manage to stay up till 4:30 AM, watch Lady In The Water, Meet The Robinsons, and half of Inception, devour an insane amount of candy and Mountain Dew and Dr Pepper, and laugh our heads off.
The next day we hung out at the Outlet Mall pretending to be cool (we totally failed at this) until it was time to dance. And then dance we did. My goodness. It was so much fun. And then after the dance we went to Sonic, as is the awesome tradition of St David's dancers. Lemme tell you something. Sonic in 25 degree weather is cold. My word. Luckily we survived though. The next morning we had Church, and by then all of the sugar and lack of sleep and being in the cold had kicked in, and I felt horrible. So Mom took me home early from Church, and I've been recovering since. :-P But getting this cough was extremely worth it! That was just about the bestest weekend ever!

The best and craziest moments from it?

-Lizzy coming THIS close to blowing my head off with a propane lighter. "Oops. I didn't know it was on..."

-Daniel S. falling splat on his face after making fun of James... LOL that was totally priceless.

-Lizz and I pulling out our Inception totems every ten minutes and squealing about Arthur and Cobb.

-Me almost breaking my neck on the slippery porch that Elena sprayed.

-Daniel M. calling Lizzy an infidel instead of an invalid. "So are you staying home with the INFIDEL?"

 Hahaha it was an awesome weekend. <3 God Bless y'all and have a good week!

The adventures of three uberly blonde women. And SNOW!

Today was awesome.

Oh my goodness. It was full of happiness. But also adventures. O.o
I went shopping with Grace Anne and Olivia, which was awesome. We ran around Market Street and went in freakishly expensive stores that I can't remember the names of. They have SUCH. cute. clothes. Totally makes me wish I had a JOB. :-P

Or a millionaire boyfriend. Both would be convenient. :-P

So we get back to Grace Anne's car (Actually Essie's that she was borrowing) and the stupid thing will NOT OPEN! And we're standing out there in 30 degree weather trying desperately to get the key to turn. So after calling Grace's father and having random and very kind strangers trying to help us, we ran all the way to HEB and bought a lighter, and tried to warm the key up. Aaand that didn't work. So we run all the way back to HEB and buy some canola oil and oil the key up. That failed too. So we decide if we're going to be stranded for the rest of our lives, we might as well get some food. So we ate at Chipotle. Delicious. And Grace called AT&T and they finally sent a guy to help us. But this took a while. So to keep ourselves occupied and warm, we danced in the parking lot and ran round in circles around the car like crazy people who'd lost their minds. Which, of course, resulted in people staring at us like we'd lost our minds! It was incredibly fun, despite the bitter cold. With the right people, anything can be fun. :-) So then the locksmith guy came and was working on the door and then Olivia's mom came and sprayed some WD40 on the lock. And guess what? The door opened. After all that work. We felt so terribly blonde... and we laughed a lot. So then Grace took me to Starbucks before taking me home. Which brings me to something else.

Starbucks is amazing. Plain and simple. SO good for warming fingers. And stomachs.

It was an awesome day. :-) The rest of the week shall contain much laughter and merriment and junk food as I adjourn to Lizzy's house. And, as I mentioned in my last blog post, dancing. *grin*

OH. And. It's supposed to SNOW tonight/tomorrow. Three inches. THREE INCHES! That is insane for Houston, Texas! It's always crazy humid and hot! So as you can imagine, everyone is freaking out. I'm packing my warmest clothes for Lizzy's house. And we're totally going to have a snowball fight. :-D I totally can't wait. I'm just bubbling with excitement. I'll be sure to bring my camera and take pictures. And blog about it, too. :-)

It's positively freezing outside. (Literally!) So I have my awesomely colourful mismatching socks on. They fuzzy. I loves them.

We have a fire roaring and warm food. My wonderful Mommy made the most delicious soup! It was definitely blog-worthy. It had shrimp, mini scallops, collard greens, spaghetti noodles, mushrooms, onions, and several other delicious ingredients in it. Amazing.

It's been a WONDERFUL day. I'm so terribly blessed it's not even funny. 
Hope you lovely people have an amazing weekend.

Sick...

So I was hoping to have a pretty productive week. Get lots of schoolwork done, and cook something and blog about it. But before I had time to do any of this, I came down with a massive feverish head cold thing Sunday evening. ICK. I'm guessing I got sick from lack of sleep and too much sugar. Totally made my immune system go ppppppttthhhbbbbbb. And trust me. That's no fun. So I've spent my entire week, instead of baking and studying, taking Cod liver oil and Echinacea complex and drinking water and resting...bleeech. Oh. and watching movies. I had a Lord Of The Rings Marathon yesterday. BOOYEAH! That made me feel quite a bit better. Those movies are awesome. So stinking EPIC. 

OH. And may I just say:

                                          This man rocks my rocks. FOR REALS PEOPLE.

                           He's even cooler than he looks in the pictures. If that's even possible. :-P

So. I've had an....interesting week so far, to say the least, and I'm feeling much better. It's very good to be well again. :-) Oh. and tomorrow I get to hang out with THIS lovely woman, and the weekend I'm staying over with THIS lovely young woman. So the rest of the week shall be filled all manner of merriment and delicious food, candy and laughing. OHH. And dancing. Yep, I have to say it just like that. Because I haven't danced in exactly seventy days, if you count back from today. (Yes, I keep track....) So it will be so very amazing. And fun. So that's why it must be said like that, dancing. *dreamy smile* I'm horribly excited.

*happy sigh* Isn't life perfectly wonderful?

Well anyways, I think it is, whatever you cynics may say about it. :-P
Have an awesome week, people. That's an order. :-)
