BACK

After a long period of abandonment I have decided to give the good ole' blog another try.

I have recently finished a large set of DIY projects for the dorm room my sister and I will be sharing.

There are no real tutorials for them because I never really intended for them to be tutorials but I'll at least share them with you on here.

Numbero Uno: THE DROPCLOTH RUG

My sister and I lucked out and got a room with carpet instead of laminate BUT the carpet was ugly. I'm not sure who picked it out but sheesh. I knew we needed a large rug to cover the majority of the carpet but large rugs are usually on the expensive end and we're on a budget.

In came a drop cloth for about 10 bucks and two things of Valspar sample paint and I was left with a huge area rug for about 15 bucks.

I got impatient and started peeling the tape off the already painted sections

more impatience.

the finished product!

I wouldn't call it the plushest rug in the world but hey its going over an already plush carpet.

I should probably add our bedspreads so you can get the direction the room is going.

The Sister's Duvet

My Duvet

hello weekend.

ahh the week is finally over!

and i'm starting it off with an episode of house.

ah a drugged out god among men. {he totally has a soft side which is why he is SUCH a cutie. plus he just sang a Christmas carol. so here have my ♥}

anyway. what i'm really looking forward to is NCIS. because this hunk of burning love has even more of my ♥

has anyone noticed my weird obsession with old men yet?

have a wonderful weekend!

i must add on to this blog because i forgot a major crush

TIM THE TOOL MAN TAYLOR!

a crush from my childhood that has lasted into my twenties. and an addition to my old man obsession. {i loved his machoness along with his jokes and his softie side ♥}

oh and this.

papers here, papers there, papers papers everywhere

SUPER BOWL SUNDAY

and i'm writing a paper.

{woot woot for all the procrastinators}

me and this highly marked up paper are not friends.

i'm having majorrrrr writers block {think i have almost 3 and it has to be 4 full type deal}

SO. what else to do but write somewhere where i DON'T have writers block.

i went home to lovely madison this week. {hooraaa} where me and my lovely mother tried many cooking ventures.

{mammaaaaa}

day 1. half banana nut half blueberry muffins.

we made the recipe out of order. exchanged wheat flour for white flour and splenda for sugar.

and put blueberries in a banana bread mix.

TOTAL FAIL.

day 2. whole wheat blueberry pancakes.

TOTAL DELICIOUSNESS.

but it only made four pancakes. whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. totally not enough to fill any normal family up. but next time i guess i'll just have to triple the recipe. darn.

day 3. i'm back at school so the cooking adventures are over and i'm back to lemon bread and oatmeal. and self made coffee. {never as good as mommass. oh no. or daddy's since i'm sure he'll be reading this soon}

tomorrows monday. and its supposed to rain. so lets wear bright colors! HOORAA :)

good morning starshine.

HELLO BLOG WORLD!

i've been so negligent in my updating i know.

i had thoughts of just straight up abandoning it *gasp* BUT i came to my senses and i have not.

since its been almost a year since i updated this thing i realized i have ALOT of updating to do.

first. i have a newww house :) well its more of a condo BUT it looks like this:

totally adorable. okay so those aren't mine. but i don't have a picture of just mine. so this will do.

second. i've recently moved to a bigger room in my house :D

third. i turned TWENTY. feel kindaaaa old. BUT can't wait for the big 21.

fourth. i've got two new roommates. which means two new friends. and lotsssss of renovating.

fifth. i now go to MS state instead of Alabama. and i'm a pre vet major instead of anthropology.

didn't quiteeee realize how much had gone on since i last updated this! more later. i promise.

health week.

no.more.diet.coke.

justin and i are drinking just water starting today.

this is gonna be harder than planned.

bye bye precious diet coke and tea.

summerr

ah summer. its off to a wonderful start. full of sunny days and warm nights. i love mississippi summers.

i love the food. i love the drinks {tea and lemonade. nothing better} and mostly. i love the CLOTHES.

i want this. its on my wish list. but i have a feeling, being only 5'2", i won't be able to pull it off. worth a shot. at least i started off the summer with a clothing bang. i got two new sandals :) perfect summer shoes. one in gray and one in brown. i'm obsessed.

for mine and justin's one year we decided to make chelsea's five minute chocolate cake. it was DELICIOUS. {except justin's turned out better than mine. he mixed his egg and wet ingredients separately and the dumped them in. i mixed them in directly. i'd follow him.} either way. it was a delicious desert. and so fast and easy! we added strawberries to the top which was extra delectable. i'm obsessed. i think i'll make it again tomorrow :)

p.s. i'm working at smoothie king andd the jackson zoo. so there will be tons of summer fun.

3 more days..

welcome to my life.

thank you exam week and sinuses.
