awkward and awesome

chambray: f21, skirt: mom, belt: thrifted, shoes: ross, necklace: nana, earrings: the limited (now avail. in gold) Awkward – Hearing my upstairs neighbor pee. I swear, it was the longest pee ever too. Oh, I also heard the toilet lid slam and then I heard a flush… – Petting a sweet puppy and realizing my “Relief Society” arms are in full swing. (this means my arms are flabby) Yeah, someone needs to start working out her arms. – A rather large butt crack sneaking out of the trousers in the front of the classroom. It’s only… Read More

praying for Boston

photo taken by me on 4/15/13 Today in class my teacher started off by talking about the events that took place yesterday.

What an angel you are my dear! Okay,… Read More

what I wore: I woke up on the wrong side of the bed… literally

shorts: thrifted (similar) , top: jcpenny’s, cardi: nordstrom, flips: payless, watch: gifted (similar) , earrings: ElisabethSpace Jewlery Do you ever wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Well, I literally did this morning. You see, sometimes Brand does this thing where he lays on my side of the bed and says, “Oh, I thought it was your turn to sleep out on the couch tonight…” (he is joking of course) So in return I try and push him to his side of the bed, it never works but it’s worth the… Read More
