Cali Part 1

We had a long 10 hour drive to Cali. There were a couple breaks in between to stretch our legs and use the restroom and all that fun jazz

Then we rolled into LA, turned on the beach boys, and sssllooowwwllly cruised along the freeway

We saw this bus. And I want it

When we got to Santa Monica beach ( I think that's right) , it had become cloudy :( But it was nice anyway!

We were happy campers

Okay, okay. I though I would pretend to be a dancer and pull one of those leaps on the beach moves (dancers, don't hate. Yes I was trying to copy you. I openly admit it. Just know that it did not turn out)

My pocket is pretty small, and my phone just sits there. So, when I attempted my leap, it fell out.

 Then I discovered it laying face down in the sand. Luckily it wasn't too mad at me and still worked!


Then I thought I should move my shoes before they got covered by that salty water and where ruined. Then came attempt number dos

A little better? eh? 

I took around 700 pictures on this trip. There are many more that I didn't post from SM beach, and there are MANY more to come

7 Steps (or questions) for Sugar Eating - according to me.

This is my new and improved plan on how to eat less sugar. I made it up myself, for myself. If you would like to use it, use away

THE STEPS:
ask yourself these questions...

1. Is it worth it?
-If no, don't eat it
-if yes continue to #2

2. Is it really worth it?
-If no, don't eat it
-If yes, continue to #3

3. Will it make you feel sick?
-If yes, don't eat it
-If not, or at least not easily, continue to #4

4. How unhealthy is it?
-Very: don't eat it
-Eh, in between: go to step #1
-Not too terrible: continue to step 5

5. Will you be able to eat small amounts? Can you have self-control? Honestly?
-If no, then don't eat it
-If yes, continue to step 6

6. How many treats have you had today and yesterday combined?
-If more then 2, don't eat it
-If one, go to step 1 or 2
-If none, go to the next step

7. Is it a pie? (a good kind)
-No, go to step 1 or 2
-If yes, eat it.


I believe these will pass the test

Greetings from Cali

My face is a little burned. I'm hoping for at least a little burn on my arms today. Let's cross our fingers


It's been cloudy and a little chilly most of the time


Being sick in Cali is no fun, but when you forget you're sick...it's pretty darn fun


We found this awesome beach in Malibu. Love love loved it


I will never eat a mint M&M again. At least not until Christmas time. Blah. I'm sick just thinking about them



Saw a "mob" playing poker last night. We in da hood, yo. Oh wait, that's more gangster slang. Not mob.



I can now actually say (in all honesty) that I love long walks on the beach.


Most of my family wouldn't want to live in a beach house. I sure would


Seagulls can be funny


Real Thai food is suuuuuuuuuuuuuper hot


L.A. traffic sucks. If there is a billboard that says "stuck on the 10 again???..." you know it really is terrible


I've realized that cruising around Cali to the Beach Boys makes you happier. Even if you are stuck on the 10


I need to go get ready for an awesome wedding


Peace out my home dawg homies

a little bit random

This song can cheer you up. No matter how terrible the mood is

I don't know why, but this picture makes me happy. It looks like a summer afternoon doesn't it?

Excuse the people and the shoe. 

 Just put on some pink nail polish to brighten your day

Need adventure? Head out to your swing set

Just look at this picture for a laugh

Don't worry, she was laughing. And he wasn't going to hit her. This was all innocent fun :)

Food from heaven? Probably. If nothing makes you happy, mini pies will.

Wouldn't it be nice to walk out of your bedroom every morning to a living room like this??? Minus the arm of course...and the backround. Just pay attention to the room.

Riding your bike on the boardwalk is always super

 Need to relieve a little stress? Go for a little run!

Reading inspirational quotes can help you a little bit through all kinds of situations

When in doubt, bake a cupcake! Make it fancy

The beach, it's therapeutic. Go chill there. Indulge yourself with the smell of the ocean and the warmth of the sun. That's definitely what I will be doing this week

It may not be Sunday or any special occasion, but heck, wear a skirt! Make it a little more casual with some sandals. It's pretty fun

Smoothies...the new milk. 

You've always wanted to be a model, haven't you? 

I like flowers. I like receiving them. I like seeing them in nature. I've never really given them...I'll try that.

Sisters... sisters.... never where there such devoted sisters ( admit it, you sang the song when you read it)

Happy first day of spring!!! 

Bada ba ba ba, I'm lovin' it

This weather has been superb and it's making me extra antsy for summer to just get here. It has been in the 60's with the sun out and a little breeze, birds chirping, the sound of a lawn mower or some kind of mechanical thing cutting down a branch or a tree, and me on the porch, pants rolled up, either just sitting and enjoying, or attempting to read a little for my english class (I've got 225 pages to read by Monday...).
My view a couple times this week has been that of the roof above the front porch

It's been nice.

With great weather comes great responsibility though.

Responsibility #1: Homework. I know you can do homework while outside enjoying this weather, but at the same time you can't really enjoy it if you are giving your attention away to a book that you would rather not have to read.

Responsibility #2: Dealing with the car. It's that time of the year where the car starts to not start. It takes longer before you are able to get the engine to turn over, or it takes a looong while because it really is not going to work. It just will not start. But hey, I've least I have a car I can use.

Today it was cloudy and there wasn't much sun. According to Donny Osmond there is supposed to be a little snow Sunday morning. I hope more than anything that he is wrong. I don't want snow to come back because I don't want the warmth of the sun to leave my sight. Except for at night. The sun part. The warmth should stay still.


I had fun playing in the sun with these kids this week

Happy Pi Day! {3.14}

Lets see how many pictures we can get of people with pie...

 and there are still plenty more


It's been a good 24 hours, with much thanks to my Cougs for pulling out the big W against Iona. Love you guys. Lets do it against Marquette, yeah?

Ever since I was little Snow White and Prince charming have been my least favorite prince and princess. Snow White wasn't that pretty, and her singing voice was....weird. I was not a fan. Then Prince Charming....he hardly even talked, and he had very pink lips and his face was very feminine. So when everyone said they wanted a Prince Charming, I thought ok...whatever your heart desires. I want a Philip or Dimitri myself.


My opinion has changed. I want a Prince Charming more than anything. A man that looks good in normal clothes AND prince clothes. Yes, he really looks stunning in those prince clothes of his. Most men can't really pull that style off. But Charming....yes...he looks amazing.

The t.v. show Once Upon a Time has changed my view on this. Snow White and Prince charming are now in my top 3 of favorite characters.

Now, if you've seen the show, it's the Charming and Snow story I'm in love with. As far as Mary Margaret and David go, i'm getting annoyed and frustrated. It's the evil queens fault. She is ruining everything. But in fairy tale land, I'm still loving every minute.

If you haven't seen it, I recommend you watch it. It's good :)

That's all I have time for for now, otherwise I would explain more about this Prince Charming subject and talk more about the show.
