Purse Tour!

 

So, I was organizing my purse last night and I decided I might as well make a "what's in my purse" post while I have everything out anyway... I can't really believe that all of this fit in there.....but it did...XD

So I had 2 Dairy Queen receipts, a dance class receipt, a library receipt, a Walmart receipt, a ticket to a Chicago Bulls playoff game along with a set of contest cards, a wrist band (because we had box seats!) and a list of raffle numbers, about 8 green twist ties from the grocery store, a plaster (or something) egg, a sticky note with a drawing of my brother that my cousin drew, a small notebook, 2 pairs of headphones, four extra headphone covers, an eyeglass repair kit, a package of tissues, a portable battery, a book (I finally found one that can fit in my purse!!), 2 pens, 2 pencils, 2 business cards, a little penguin that my friend made me (whose nose accidentally fell off so I have to fix it...), a nail file, two packs of gum (one only has like two pieces left in it), a sheet of Doc McStuffins stickers that my niece gave me, 3 movie tickets (Insurgent, Cinderella, and Age of Adaline), a headband, my wallet, a nail file, three bottles of nail polish, a container of cover up, my MP3 player, my key chain (which has more key chains than keys...), a gumball from my sister's baby shower, a pack of Smarties (which my niece Arianna stole...), 3 ponytail holders (one of which is broken), a necklace, a ring, 3 bottles of lip balm, one bottle of hand sanitizer, a pin that Arianna gave me, and an old Wendy's keychain! Wow......that's a lot.....XD XD XD Oh! And Arianna decided to pop into the picture!! XD

5 Things I can't live without!

Well, this should be interesting.....XD

1. My family and friends!!

2. My books!!

3. Music!

4. Phone!!

5. Laptop!!!

 That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!! I know I don't usually post this early, but I was bored...XD I didn't post Saturday because I didn't have access to internet and yesterday I was really tired and we were at my sister's baby shower! I might post again later today if I can think of another post! 

Old pic!!

So, I figured I'd try out the whole "Throwback Thursday" thing.... I found this old pic on my phone! I'm pretty sure this picture is from either 2008 or 2009...This is a picture of me (right) and my friend Annalee (left) at a Secret Keeper Girl show. In case you didn't know, Secret Keeper Girl is a Christian group for girls. The one main thing I remember from this is that they let everyone pick out bracelets and Annalee and I grabbed the same ones without noticing until we got back to our seats! I can't believe how round faced I am in this pic!! Those were my first pair of glasses too!!!

House Tour!!

So today I'm going to give a partial house tour! The laundry room, my brother's room, and my parents' room are not included in this, but the rest is! The picture directly underneath is our front door/entry way :)

This is our library! Technically it's supposed to be the formal dining room, but we didn't really need one and my mom and I have always wanted a library in our house so now we finally have one!!

This is part of our kitchen! I love the cabinets and counter tops in our kitchen! I couldn't get the whole kitchen in here because of where I was standing, but really the only thing to the left is the sink and a bunch of cabinets....

Here's our actual dining room! You probably can't tell, but the little things hanging in the windows are little stuffed owls...XD Where the green rug is in the back corner is the door that leads to the backyard :) Annabelle decided to make a guest appearance.....XD

Here's the living room! Our couch is the most amazing ever!! It's soft! And super comfy!! We usually have a big round swivel chair on the right, but we had to send it to get fixed...:/ That's my special reading chair too!

This is the spare bedroom which is kinda being used for a storage room/study/partial library for the moment! XD I sit at that desk when I need total quiet for schoolwork...

And finally, here's my bedroom! Or at least my bed! I have wall stickers instead of a headboard....to the left of my bed is a bookshelf...(of course!) and to the right is my side table with my lamp on it :) Then on the right wall is my vanity where all of my jewelry and headbands/hairclips are, and directly across from my bed is my bookshelf with my favorite books (because I insist on my faves being in my bedroom) with my tv and dvd player on top!    

 

This is just a bonus picture of my cat mid-yawn as I was trying to get a pic of the bed....XD

Pet Introduction!!

So, I found so many post ideas on Pinterest last night that I put them in the randomizer app that I have on my phone...(yes, I have a randomizer app.....I can be incredibly indecisive.....) Anyway, my phone has helped me choose to introduce my pets! I know I posted pics of my cats when I first started this blog a few years ago, but we've gotten new ones and lost old ones since then, plus I don't think I ever posted pics of my dogs, so they shall be posted today! 

 I figured I'd go from oldest to youngest so here's Boots! We've had him since he was born (we had his mom too but we gave her away with her last kitten) and now he's 8! I call him an old man...he definitely acts like it sometimes! Boots is definitely the most spoiled out of all of them! Or at least, I spoil him! His brother Blackers (I named them when I was 6 so yes, his name was Blackers...) died a few months ago of Feline Leukemia :/ As for the picture, my cousin Lainey
and I were playing Monopoly a few weeks ago and he decided to steal the lid....he broke the corner that his tail is hanging over too...

  Next is Annabelle! She's only about a month younger than Boots (She was born in May and he was born in April) so she's also 8. We've had her since she was a few months old and she loves my mom! Which is hilarious because my mom doesn't pet her a lot or anything, but she still follows her everywhere! And even if we only leave the house for ten minutes she acts like we've been gone for a year!

This is my fat little Biscuit! He's gonna be 6 this November! We literally say that he's our little pig...his legs are incredibly short....He loves me almost as much as Annabelle loves my mom! (And I love him right back!)

This kitty on the left is Eve. She's the momma of the twins (whose pics are below this one!) and she's around two years old I think. We're not exactly sure how old she is because she was a stray... I love her markings so much! Only one of her kittens got the same markings and she was one of the first to be given away... What's really pitiful is that when we were taking her to the vet the first time, I had called her Momma Kitty so much that I completely forgot her name and when I asked my brother, he had to think about it! I still call her Momma Kitty more than her real name....I don't think anyone really uses her actual name anymore....






This is the Brenya! She's the first of the twins. She just turned a year old last month!  We had six kittens altogether but we gave away four of them and Brenya and her sister were the ones no one wanted when we moved... So now we have more cats!! We pretty much consider her as my brother's cat, but I love her too! My brother accidentally got her addicted to coffee by spilling a bit on the patio table and instead of licking it, the wacko cat decides to start rolling in it!!! You can always tell the difference between her and her sister for multiple reasons... 1. Brenya's meows sound more like a bird chirp than an actual meow... 2. She's fatter than her sister... 3. She has darker markings around her mouth and her eyes have a bit more of a greenish tint where as Maggie's are yellow and 4. Brenya purrs really loudly and you can't hear Mags purring unless you put your ear right up to her!



Last but not least is Maggie! She's my floppy little thing! Almost every time you talk to her or even look at her she'll flop onto her side and start rolling on her back and staring at you upside down... She loves me for some reason and I really couldn't understand it at first, but now I love her too! Whenever I go outside when she is, she'll come up and rub against my ankles and then just stand in between my feet...

Wow! That's a really long post!! Pinterest definitely helped! Bye till tomorrow!

The Amazingness of Pinterest!

I officially love Pinterest!! I loved it before now of course because it gave me Percy Jackson awesomeness and everything else that I love, but now it's helping me with my blog too! Or at least hopefully! One of the reasons it takes me so long between posts on this blog is because it's really hard for me to think of post ideas most of the time...so I told my friend today and she suggested I search "blog post ideas" on Pinterest! It really worked! I got about fourteen different ideas off of it and I'm gonna use one of the ideas tomorrow! Hopefully it won't be days or weeks in between posts anymore!! ^_^

Sleepover!!

So, it's been five days since my last post....totally didn't mean for that to happen!! I meant to post last night but I spent the night at my best friends' house and we didn't stop talking until 3 A.M.! So last night we got to eat amazing pork chops and wild rice for dinner and we made chocolate pudding for dessert while watching Harry Potter movies! Even though we technically never actually watched Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince because I was too busy watching one of my besties play Skyrim while video chatting with another one of my besties! I also got to eat Japanese food tonight! It was very good (especially the chicken yakisoba!)! Except for the Miso soup.....seaweed and tofu.....completely disgusting in my opinion!! But we got to have chocolate chip cookies for dessert tonight! They were really good! I also got to meet my friends' new dog for the first time while I was there! She's really big and doesn't like strangers, but she's a big sweetie when she gets used to you! Well, I think that's it for now! Night!!

Happy 4th of July!!!

 Happy Fourth of July!!! Sorry I haven't posted in a month!! (Wow! I didn't realize it was that long ago!) We've had my cousins over for a long time! One of the amazing reasons to love Summer! I know it's technically July 5th now, but I was determined to post on my blogs tonight! This pic, awesomely enough, was taken from my backyard! My neighbors had a big fourth of July party and we also had neighbors down the street on both sides of us and across the street from us shooting fireworks so we were surrounded! It was awesome! We also got to go and hear Darius Rucker live last night at our city's Fourth of July celebration along with some of the most amazing fireworks ever! Our Fourth of July concert's fireworks never disappoint! Good night!!
