family fun day
Right now I'm waiting on these beautiful faces to show up at my door. Wednesdays can sometimes suck, but getting to see my sister and her kidos make it manageable.
Oh how I love them so!

day 2 of 30 days of truth
Day 02 →? Something you love about yourself.
It's strange how yesterday's prompt made me feel so different from todays. I'm totally one of those girls that feels like if I compliment myself or admit I have good qualities then I must be conceited. Which of course is totally silly, we all have to have at least one good quality!!!! I think this will be one of the main things I try to work on this year- trying to realize that I can love myself and be able to name my good attributes and not come off as conceited.
So now that I've prolonged the prompt, I'd have to say that one thing I do love about myself is my willingness to help others. In the past (and sometimes present) this has caused me to get walked on. We all know that feeling and how much it sucks, but as I've grown up I've just tried to make sure I'm putting the effort into the right people. By that, I mean I want to help everyone, but I will only go out of my way for people that I don't think will take advantage. As long as I feel secure on that, I will seriously do anything someone needs me to (within reason and my limits of course).
don't forget to come back to check out the other 28 prompts!!!

Wednesday Wishes
After this past weekend, I fully believe that we should have 4 day work weeks and 3 day weekends. :)
I got a lot of stuff accomplished this past weekend (well more so than I thought; however, not everything on my list). I did manage to get a lot of friend, boyfriend, and parent time in :) So onto goals and wishes I have for myself this week.....
1. to finish my school project (on chemical changes. fun! (not)).
2. finish reading this book for our book club on saturday
i always feel like im trying to catch up with everyone in regards to books. i love being in the book club, but it's becoming harder trying to find the time to read. :(
3. more sleep.
because i honestly could never get enough
4. some cute pictures of the boy and i
5. cute stationary
now that I have about 50+ pen pals, my stationary is starting to run out! and i'vehad my eye on these pretties for awhile. i only wish i had them *sigh*

day 1 of 30 days of truth
30 days of truth feature. (more info found here)
Day 01 →? Something you hate about yourself.
I of course have more than just one thing I hate about myself, but the one that bugs me the most is my anger. I know I'm a lot like my family members in regards to how I act when I'm angry and when I see them acting out I think "seriously????". But then I do the same freaking thing and I hate it. Sometimes I blame it on being Irish and a taurus....but truth be told I just let myself get away with it.
Too many times I've gotten angry over useless stupid things and it takes me awhile to calm down. I hate that. I wish that I could just be more go with the flow and when I got mad that I could snap out of it more quickly. I'm honestly trying to work on it though. That's gotta count for something! :)

award time
The lovely pamplemousse has tagged me with this award which totally made me smile. Thank you!!!! :)
Here are the rules:
1. thank the person that awarded you
2. list 7 facts about yourself (which I think works perfect for my "fact tuesday post", dont you?)
3. pass the award on to 15 bloggers
4. contact the 15 bloggers you picked to let them know
____________________________________
soooooooooo.........
7 things about me:
1. i'm very much in love with sleep. i dont ever feel like i've gotten enough and some days i really do try to sleep the day away.
*
2. i don't tan easily, which kinda stinks for being born and raised a Floridian.
*
3. at one point in my elementary school days i wanted to grow up to be a basketball player. and now, i hate watching basketball (i blame it mostly on the sound of the sneakers on the floor, it kinda has that nail on chalkboard effect for me)
*
4. when im sad i cant eat. its not so much that i dont want to, but that i just cannot force myself to eat- i start to feel sick if i do
*
5. i lovelovelovelovelove coca-cola, but i gave it up almost a month ago. apparently its bad for you... lol i still drink it once in a blue moon and it kinda does sadden me to have given it up, but ive lost some weight because of it and it really did mess up my stomach, so it worked out for the best
*
6. i dont like cats. i dont have a problem being around them, but i never ever ever want any. ive cat sit a few times and they honestly just freak me out. im always afraid they're going to claw out my eyes or just attack me for no reason. i prefer dogs :)
*
7. i only have 1 sibling, a half sister. there's about a 12 year age difference between us, but in the past year or so we've gotten a lot closer. before then our age gap was always a slight problem in being close.
now, i pick:
all of you!!!! there are too many of you that i want to hear responses from to pick just 15.
just post a link to your blog post in the comment section so i can see!!!!

love yall! and happy tuesday!

inspiration thursday (with Leigh from leighs radical journey)
This week I FINALLY got my best friend in the entire world to let me interview her for this feature. I'm estatic. She is by far one of the best people I've ever met and I'm so happy she's letting me share a bit about her on here. :) She is an amazing person whom I am lucky to have roomed with throughout college. She's the one person in the world that gets me when no one else does. She's the sweetest and most loyal person you'll ever know. So check out her answers and then go check out her blog :) In fact, she just started up a new blog!!!
(and yes, she's the one I talked about earlier this week, wishing her a happy birthday)!!
And thanks leigh for letting me feature you. love you!!!
Your name: Leigh Finnegan
Favorite craft or hobby?
What's next for you?
5 things that make you happy!
Where do you find inspiration?
How do you get and stay motivated??
Where's one place you would LOVE to travel to if you could?
I would travel to South Africa! I hear it's beautiful
Give us 1 random or funny or interesting fact/tidbit about YOU!!!
I have a singular freckle on almost every appendage! One in my ear, one on the bottom of my foot, one on wrist, one on my stomach and one on my back! It's so weird! Why only one? I feel like a human constellation made out of freckle stars.

Your name: Leigh Finnegan
Where can we find you?
Tell us a little bit about you!
I was born in Boston (where my dad is from) but my family moved to south Florida when I was 2. Went to Montessori school from kindergarten thru 8th grade which means I had "line time" until I was 13. I played soccer for 12 years, so I may be the only person in America who thoroughly enjoys women's soccer , or soccer, or women's sports in general....
Also, Kellie is my best friend!!!!!!!!!
Also, Kellie is my best friend!!!!!!!!!
Favorite craft or hobby?
My favorite hobby is writing. What I don't understand is how I can love writing and poetry, but can't bring myself to write in a journal to save my life. One of my favorite types of writing is writing comedy skits. I sometimes wish I had tried to write for SNL.
What's next for you?
In August I'm moving to England for a year. I wanted to live abroad for a while before I go into seminary, so I'm going to do service work and live in flat with 5-6 other people. I pray everyday the bathroom is larger than it probably will be...
5 things that make you happy!
Friends, God, movies, my dog Buster and the beach!
Where do you find inspiration?
My style icon would have to be Sienna Miller. She is able to mix vintage and modern looks in both a surprising and beautiful way. hmm.. i suppose i have crush on everything about Jennifer aniston, so definitely Jen! Team aniston all the way!
How do you get and stay motivated??
I suppose I'm motivated by things my friends accomplish. If they can do something, maybe I can too! I also love this pastor from Grand Rapids Michigan named Rob Bell. I listen to his sermons every week and they really inspire me to take hold of everything I was created to be!
Where's one place you would LOVE to travel to if you could?
I would travel to South Africa! I hear it's beautiful
