276.

I'm feeling super impatient. I know there are lots of things to do. Like my homework, figuring out what I'm going to do when I graduate, winning a bet with Kyle, planning the rest of the wedding...but I just want to be married RIGHT NOW and skip all of that! Isn't that okay?!
and wouldn't a boudoir shoot be fun? I think this robe is beautiful.

Pretty Flowers

I Love this!!

New Things!

     I now have a wedding website c/o theknot.com. Since everything I have read tells me it is bad wedding etiquette to advertise your registries in your invitations, I took their advice and made a wedding website on which to list them. It felt really weird to make that website. So I just made it simple and straight to the point. I am, however, excited to get engagement pictures done and to be able to post them.
On a side note, I did my hair today...It better not rain...

seven.

I've officially given up on those little circle-thingys with the number...who has that kind of time anyway?

I'm the same color as the wall! ah! 

I didn't sleep well. My stomach hurts. My brain seems to like to think all night long. Silly little brain, you need to stop that.

Yay school. Here I come. Not looking forward to tons of attention from people whose names I hardly know. The friends, maybe. ;)

I have a feeling this outfit may leave me cold today...Come one spring!!

I do not like taking my outfit pictures on photobooth. 

It's Friday. PTL.

I'm thinking about making a skirt tonight. After I hit up Gold's. 

My nailpolish is a very strange color. I still like it.

Winter at the Park

Kyle and I went to the park after school and work today. It was right at the time where the sunset and lighting are that ridiculously gorgeous gold color, and all of the frozen tree branches sparkled. :)

goof...

a little leaf cradling snow...

deer tracks!

New Book

I ordered a new book about three weeks ago...and I FINALLY got it in the mail yesterday! Yay!

Banana Bread

Yum!

yep. that's mine!

Here is the recipe I used:

2 ripe bananas

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup oil

1/3 cup buttermilk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 3/4 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup pecans 

In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork.

Add the eggs, sugar, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla to a large bowl.

Mix the wet ingredients really well.  Add the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Mix until just combined.  You do not want to over-mix this batter.

Fold in the nuts.

Pour the batter into a loaf pan coated with cooking spray.

Bake the bread in a preheated 350 degree oven for about an hour, or when a toothpick comes out clean.

Snowday again. And still no motivation for getting dressed up to sit at home and work on homework. But I did. And Kyle came and took my picture. And shoveled the driveway with dad. And is letting me read my LC stylebook. He's nice like that.

Lunch

Snowday Lunch, consisting of: whatever I can find in the pantry and fridge.

I made a rice noodle stir fry with red pepper, asparagus, carrots, onion, jalapeno, garlic, and my made-up-on-the-spot lime curry sauce. I wish the sauce had been stronger, because the rice noodles really soaked it up. So i added a sprinkling of fresh parm to make it even prettier. 

Just after I finished my lunch, I decided to attempt making my own pad thai sauce. And I LOVED it...but dad definitely did not. Ha!
I used:
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon curry powder
YUM!

Just Because

Because I'm stuck indoors. And because I can. Here are some doodles...

my attempt at making a lace pattern on a very basic program using only very basic shapes...

self explanatory...

again in honor of valentines day...

I saw this verse on a table setting for a wedding, and I loved it.

one.

Day one of he 30for30. Its a snow day and I had/have absolutely no motivation to do anything, including put together an outfit. So I just put on something comfortable and easy. WITH my favorite bird earrings! Just to bring life to being stuck inside during our "blizzard". I am kinda bummed though because I have to take my outfit pictures on photobooth, which do not turn out well at all, as you can see.
