Deviled Eggs

I was itching to make something last week, and since all we had in the house was eggs and condiments, this was it.  I just really like to document photographically.  

YUM.

And I got the remote for my camera, so here's the kitchen table.  :)

Because quizzes in school aren't enough...

1. I started my blog because: I wanted to document how I change and also everything going on.  It'll be cool to look back this with my hubby someday, even if I have to belt him to a chair to make him look.  ;)

2. One thing I love seeing on other blogs are: Outfit posts.  I love them.  And also, collections of things.  The Dainty Squid has tons of those and I could look 500 times at the same posts.  Also, anecdotes and crafty things make me smile.


3. Something I love about blogging: I really love feeling like anyone could come across my little part of the internet at any moment.  Making connections is enjoyable, even if it's just over a mutual feeling about clothes.  


4. A favorite blog post of mine:  I don't really have a favorite.  I don't think that any are riveting, I'm just contributing to watching myself grow, basically.


5. Something my friends in real life know about me that I've never before mentioned on my blog: I have a sailor mouth.  Or maybe I have mentioned it.


6. My new favorite blogs to read are: peace-love-lauren  (is this not the cutest thing ever?)   peppermint plum     wake up, lovely     amy     susannah    elycia     

How do I even have time for classes?

7. Some things I tend to avoid doing on my blog are: preaching, whining, swearing (I think)

The One Day We Get Permission To Love

When I was three years old, my grandpa died.  On Valentine's Day.  So maybe it seems a bit crazy for me to be infatuated with everything pink and red (even though my mom's been telling me forever that they clash) and sugary.  I love hearts and glitter and I love love.  So although I think about my grandpa even more than usual on this day, (yeah, I was three, but I spent a LOT of time with him, so I remember quite a bit.  Kind of unbelievable, especially because of my awful memory now) I like to surround myself with paper crafts and pretties and candy.  It's no longer a time for sadness, even at the cemetery.

Hahaha!

Doing this!

YUM!

Someday I'll have these.

These are usually a pretty big part of my V Day.  But I really am partial to the larger ones.

I miss making these!

Love it!  This is kind of like this tutorial (which I found via Apple Blue via The Dainty Squid, of course) <3  

I'd love to start this project.

These are the only kind of flowers I want this year.

I feel like this would be a good investment.  Yeah it's ridiculous and no it won't stop me.

Of course I had to see what Tori had to say about the fashion aspect...I think I'll opt for some red leggings and a pink dress.  Or perhaps the opposite.  Either way, I'll be spending some money on a lovely new outfit.

Speaking of love...

Love it!  Add red tights...

Necessary.  Obviously.

This Etsy shop is AMAZING. 

Ha! :-D

I'm not too old for Build-A-Bear.  Just sayin'.

And this one's for Grandpa George <3  

I loooooove red velvet cake!  I found the best cupcakes at Walgreens.

Check it out, Sauerkraut

Just thought I'd blog some random things that made me happy today.

First, http://www.thenotwedding.com/ has really made me think.  I don't know why they weren't doing this all along, instead of those ridiculous over-the-top bridal shows.  It's such an awesome idea, especially for people who want a feel for what their big day will really be like - it's the perfect way to avoid the stuffy feeling, I think.

Work went really well today so I took a trip to Target afterward.  I love Christmas and everything associated.  Cheesy/kid Christmas movies are my cup of tea, so I couldn't resist (not that I tried to).

 I'm SO excited for these Plaid About You nail strips!  Apparently they're a limited holiday edition, so I'll be stocking up.  No pun intended.
