I feel like I ought to have a reason for not posting.
It was a stressful week and I just didn't feel like it.
But hey, I'm here now!
(You may applaud.)
Le Five Random Facts: (because I like lists almost as much as Cait does.)
1.) I got new boots because reasons. (Reasons being: a.) They were like... adorable. b.) I needed black boots this winter. c.) REASONS.)
2.) Kat and I went to Hobby Lobby and Barnes&Noble on Saturday, because reasons. (But like, do you really need reasons to go there? Those stores are the bomb diggety.) I found the art sections in both and about died.
All the fabulousness!
myyyyy precccioooouuussss.
I found this book by Mark Crilley... I'm subscribed to him on youtube. His art is really awesome.
And I bought myself a portfolio book!!! I HAVE A PORTFOLIO.
3.) Amy and I made little bead spiders at the florist yesterday, because reasons. (Halloween, that's why.) Took for freaking ever, and I can't decide if I like them or not.
4.) Speaking of which, the florist got broken into because reasons! They stole a laptop. Cops came. I unabashedly thought the whole thing was really cool.
5.) It is officially time to count down to Christmas! I am like so ridiculously excited! Because reasons! I mean for real! I love Christmas. Christmas is the best. I AM COUNTING DOWN. Who's with me?
.....
And that's all I have. Wait for iiiit: Because REASONS.
And that's the last I'm going to complain about it.
GUESS WHAT DAY IT IS. IT'S OCTOBER THIRD. THERE'S A GIF FOR THAT. HOW PERFECT IS LIFE??!
It's been a good sort of week... month... Can you believe it's October?! It's freaking October. I'm appalled at how quickly this year seems to be going.
It's absurd, really.
But anyway. October always makes me feel happy. I don't even know what it is about this month. Nothing special happens during it. It's just October. But I love it. I love the way the leaves change color, the sharpness in the air, the anticipation for winter. (I don't like Winter, but I like the anticipation of it.) I love wearing my warmer clothes, because they're cuter than my summer clothes. I love how it puts me in the mood to be extra crafty. I love how it makes me feel like Christmas is just around the corner. (AAAAAAAAAH CHRISTMAS!! I've already planned most of my Christmas pressies, because I can afford to buy pressies this year.) I love how it makes me want to take walks and buy Starbucks, and maybe try a Pumpkin Spice Latte. I really, really want to go to Hope Valley again.
I'm really happy right now.
I think.
I'm mostly really happy, and then I'll have days and moments where I'm incredibly homesick and stuff.
But right now, I'm really very happy.
Anyway, life update.
Yeah.
Amy and I went to Carson and did some shopping. I was great googles of fun, and we chortled way too much.
For example, we were in hysterics when my chocolate bar melted into liquid.
It was priceless.... even though it really wasn't.
We laughed most of the way home too. It was just a really nice, laid back sort of day, which we both really needed.
And I totally bought this shirt. It's ridiculous how happy it makes me.
And I took this really fabulous picture on the way home. (Yeah, I know. I'm like... so insanely modest about it.)
I told God that if He didn't make me go to Jury Duty, I would buy Him flowers. He didn't make me. I bought Him flowers.
We went to Circus Circus after Mass on Sunday, which was brilliant bushels of fun. This entailed on the road selfies, which Tiny ruined with bunny ears.
So I became Karma.
I'm not usually one for arcades, but this one is fabulous. (Also, because of the lighting in that place, the following pictures are somewhat.... grainy.)
We started out by going to the brunch buffet which is tradition.
Chloe
Annie refused to stop eating for the picture, so she gets an embarrassing one, because that's the kind of sister I am. *le grin*
Annie, Tiny
Katrina, Bella, Mahri, Dad
And then we have Chloe, who does not appear to be having copious amounts of fun. Like what's wrong with her??!
Joe, Chloe, Amy, Sammi
MEEEEEEE. And Amy who decided randomly that she needed to be in the picture.
And Kat. Who's always cute.
The arcade was really fun. We played games. I won a very soft, but decidedly unattractive gorilla which I now have on my bed. Because it's soft.
Me, gorilla, Amy
We watched some really awesome shows that were just cool. Like this one.
Those dogs, that little man... just on a different day. :) (Except, at ours, two of the dogs came over to visit us. Twice. I don't think they were supposed to do that. It was awesome.)
Amy, Kat
It was really fun.
Annie, Bella, Tiny
I just really want a giant air hockey table, okay!?
It was such a nice day. Exhausting, but really nice.
I have some cool blog post ideas coming up.
I think I need to do a review on Raven Boys.
But Grimm first, because we caught up and it's... just.... unnnngggh. When is season four!?
Sorry it's been taking so long to get back to your comments. I DO reply! Check, check, check! :)
Picture Saturday is postponed until next week.
And now I must go.
Must must!
Cheers, and God bless, and thank goodness for days off.
