Between Two Ferns

- Melody 1 Comment

Our family took a lot of family dates over spring break since we were all off. It. Was. Glorious. On one of our dates we took Rudy out to eat for her birthday with our grandparents and then went to Lowe’s for a fire pit and general family things. Shel and I headed straight for the home and garden section for pictures and succulents. I’m in love with tiny plants! I have several succulents and cacti and just want to expand my collection.

The lighting and colorful plants made for a pretty amazing backdrop for these pictures.

My sister’s birthday was on Saturday and she turned fifteen. FIFTEEN. YOU GUYS. WHAT. She had over 15 teens and it was nuts. They were too cool to eat the homemade slider burgers my mom made and all the popcorn and snacks and were content sitting shy on the couch flirting and watching scary movies and screaming when the girls got scared.

This is what I wore. Comfortable and cool enough to let the kidz know that I was totally not a square. Nailed it.

I’m going back to work this week after having been off for five days. I had a gorgeous vacation: family dates, sleeping in, junk food, and peace. It was calming and refreshing. Just what I needed. I feel great going back to work! Here’s to hoping I’ll still feel this way after being back a week. 😛

Happy Tuesday!

You Can’t Ever Leave

Sunday was grey and moody just like the rest of the weekend. It just so happens to be my favorite kind of weather. I could live in rain and snow for the entire year and never see sun and I’d be happy. Maybe I should just move to Seattle…

I swore up and down that I would never jump on the dumb sneaker wedge trend. Every time I thought of them I pictured white Keds wedges and I just didn’t get it. Until these. I bought this pair, a tan pair and I’ve got my eye on a chrome pair. 🙂 Somebody stop me.

We’re going to celebrate my sister’s birthday with my grandparents tonight even though her birthday is Saturday. She’s getting her bottom braces tomorrow and won’t be able to eat (haha) so we’re eating early! Everyone wish Rudy a happy 15 birthday Saturday! (yikes. 15.)

I only worked Monday and Tuesday this week and took off the rest of the week. I’m so glad for a mini vacation with a road trip to South By So What?! on Friday with my best friend and her boyfriend! WOOHOO! I am so.excited.

Bands I’m looking forward to seeing:
Taking Back Sunday
Mike Mains and the Branches
Fever Dreamer
Bryce Gilbertson
Hrvrd
The Used

Are you going? I’m only going on day one! If you’re going come find me!

Happy Hump Day!

This is in the hot running for favorite outfit ever. Without the kimono this outfit is really nothing. Without the pink wall the kimono is really nothing. They were meant to be.

The rain, the mist, the pink wall… all of this made Saturday so perfect.

Leopard Compromises

Anyone else have the weirdest experiences with Target’s sizing? These pants are a size up from what I normally wear because my normal size fit great except I couldn’t sit. And now these are too big so every time I sit they nearly fall off. The compromises I make for leopard pants.

Also, ‘every time’ is two words!?

That college degree is really not making me look good.

Have you guys heard of South By So What? It’s this music festival in Dallas and one of my nostalgically favorite bands is headlining (Taking Back Sunday) so I convinced my best friend to go with me. I’ve asked off work and I am so excited! It’ll be my first festival of any kind so I feel like a grown up just knowing that. 🙂

HUMP DAY.

I have some pretty cool friends.

For Christmas one of our friends got some really talented singers together and put on a great carol program at a local church. It’s so cool to me that 20 somethings can do things like that. Right? I mean, we go to school for four or five years and then we have to get creative on how we use our time after that. It just makes me kind of proud seeing friends that know how to use their talents. *grown up*

So with my Christmas money I bought an Apple TV! If you don’t know, it’s a little black box that plugs into the TV and you can watch Netflix, Hulu, Crackle and all other kinds of things on it all through your TV. But the coolest part is if you have an iPhone, you can throw whatever is on your phone up on the TV through wifi! It. Rules. I watch YouTube on mine a lot. So far I’ve just been using it to watch Family Guy. :/ Maybe one day I’ll use it for something more educational, but I doubt it.

Happy Tuesday!
