Musical Mondays

I love this song by Bon Iver! It's wintry and beautiful! I hope you all have a lovely Monday.


P.S. Here's an awesome sauce video to check out as well!

Thoughts

"Her own thoughts and reflections were habitually her best companions."

- Jane Austen's Mansfield Park

These past few days, the above quote has applied to my life. I've been thinking a lot about the future, God's will for my life and who he wants me to be. Why does growing up have to be so hard? 

But on another note, my family recently joined the YMCA and I'm really enjoying it! I'm trying to be more physically active this year. I just hope the motivation remains and doesn't fade. Also, I love impromptu dance parties! They're radtastical!

One more thing, i really want this dress. Yay for Christmas money!

Hello Cupcake!

I had absolutely nothing planning for today, and i pretty much did absolutely nothing, until, after an embarrassingly long nap i dragged myself out of bed to do something productive.

My productivity took the form of cupcakes, i received this book for christmas and was eager to try my hand at cupcake-ing(?).

Three hours, a bunch of burnt pralines, and black food coloring all over my hands later i ended up with....

Two dozen tiny fish bowls!

I'm very proud.

And very tired, who knew baking was so labor intensive? (Obviously not me.)

Anyhoo, hope your weekend is awesome!

Musings on a Thursday afternoon

I think we are entering another baby boom.  it seems as though half the people i know are pregnant or recently had a baby, or are getting married (which, in my book, is one step closer to procreation).

and then there's me, who seems to be lagging behind. while my peers are off planning weddings and decorating nurseries, here i sit feeling very much like the younger sister who gets left at home while everyone else goes out to the movies.

don't get me wrong, i'm not at all looking to have a child (at any point in the near future) and i'm content with my single status too, i just wish everyone else would slow down.

i realize that last statement sounded very selfish, it just boggles my mind that people my age are out doing such grown up things. when did we all become such adults?

i did get a letter from aarp the other day...maybe it was a sign.

Bonster!

I got the first two seasons of Arrested Development for Christmas and am absolutely loving them! It took me a while to get used to the humor again, but once I did I remembered why I liked this series so much. If you have never watched this hilarious comedy about an absurdly awkward family, I highly recommend it!

Currently it is 19 degrees here in Charlotte. Being a cold natured person, I'm not exactly enjoying the weather, but I'm surviving. Here's a beautiful song by Feist to warm up your Monday!

Girls Night

The sisters went out to dinner and a movie a few nights ago, just the 3 of us. It's pretty rare that all 3 of us and just the 3 of us go out together, we had a lovely time.

We saw The Young Victoria which was incredibly sweet and the costuming was brilliant!

And we had dinner at Nothing But Noodles, which is one of my favorite places (i loooove pasta).

It was a very nice evening, I love having sisters! It's like having built in best friends.

P.S. Sorry about the lack of holiday pictures, things have been rather crazy around here (with my g-ma moving in).

P.P.S. Happy New Year! We wish you a wonderful 2010!
