it's beginning to look a lot like...

NOVEMBER! :) look at this, folks:

yes, indeed, it's true. We're supposed to get snow this week! WHOOP WHOOP! 

I am excited, even though it's November. Honestly, I can count on one hand the number of snowless thanksgiving's I have had...very few! anyway. that's my rant for now :) 

john mayer gushing session.

Today I received the best email ever from my best friend. it was titled "We need iPhones." and the content was this:
 http://johnmayer.shop.musictoday.com/Dept.aspx?cp=235_30609

Now, if you clicked that glorious link, you were taken to a page that had these two babies on it...yes, yes, I know. Amazing. See why we need iPhones? Yes. Indeed.

I don't know if I've mentioned yet how much I love John Mayer. Okay, let me re-phrase, I love his music, not his lifestyle, morals, etc. He's kind of a creep actually. Like, a lot. But, shoving that point to the curb, can we all please marvel at how amazing his music is? Especially like every song on Room for Squares, and his live album Where The Light Is...and yeah.

I have some more John Mayer obsessing to do before I let you go. Hold please...

fantastic. just fantastic. 

 

my two favorite albums, as mentioned above.

cutest creeper alive. [I realize the rest of the world minus my best friend disagrees. this is okay with me.]

this picture makes me do two things: hate taylor swift for getting to sing with him, and hate taylor swift for being gorgeous. also, who doesn't agree that it was silly for this chick to get involved with the man? ME NEITHER! we got some fantastic songs from it. [i.e.; dear john and the story of us]

again, fantastic.

let me give you a few more reasons the man is awesome.

1.) He covered Free Fallin' by Tom Petty and made it actually bearable to listen to. 

2.) He played at the CMA awards a couple years ago with Keith Urban and totally killed it. that was also the night Taylor Swift got the inspiration for the story of us on her newest album. 

3.) He and Keith also played Perfectly Lonely together during a session of CMT Crossroads. [yes, GAC and CMT are two of my favorite channels. deal.]

that is probably one of my favorite things of all time.

4.) he is 6'3", the coolest height in the book.

5.) he is a genius with lyrics. I envy his ability to put words together.

6.) he just is and that's that. 

xo, Ruthanne

p.s. it's kind of a tradition with my best friend to always listen to him in the car when it's just she and I. Maybe someday I'll record the awesomeness that goes down in those moments. or not....

monday, string beans

this weekend was positively nauseating. Actually, this past week was positively nauseating. I, a sixteen year old named Ruthanne decided I would be bold and brave and get a booth in a local ladies craft fair. cue: laughter.

yes, indeed, a craft fair, my sixteen year old self, in a craft fair...selling fabric bows. So what do you suppose I did all last week? prepared for said craft fair. It was exhausting, but worth it in the end. I made some money, (yay!) and got to pretend I was 22 all day, for thats what most ladies who stopped by my booth guessed my age to be. silliness, but nonetheless, awesome. so now, what do you suppose I have to do, on this lovely day of beans? school. and some more school. and once I finish that school, I get to do even more school! oh, joy. so, alas, I have nothing much to say today, nothing more than I am really quite ready for to kill a mockingbird to move a little faster...I'm on chapter 8 and just kinda waiting for it to pick up. but I haven't been reading it as consistently as I should, so that's probably why. I shouldn't be hatin' on the book.

and you're probably wondering what's with the "monday, string beans" thing, right? well. see. I have four younger siblings. one of them is almost five. he loves, and I mean loves that book/song. and my other little brother hates string beans. I normally don't mind mondays, like my little brother doesn't mind that song...but today, I'm minding monday very much. it's a string bean monday. a normally lovely day ruined by unnecessary things, and in my brother's opinion, it's string beans. I know, my thesis is warped. 

anywho. 

I will post some pictures of the craft fair soon...until then, hi ho, hi ho, it's off to school I go...

p.s.-

I have a cousin named Attikus. he was named after Atticus from the book, but his parents spelled it with a k. brilliance, I know. and you're jealous, this I know also. and I will proceed to make you even more jealous by telling you that his brother is named Anakin. and you thought my name was different...their names contain a level of awesome that very few people are capable of obtaining...including myself.

i'm really quite terrible with web design...

I am, I really am. See, I can design a yearbook or scrapbook with both hands tied behind my back! And I can even imagine a stellar blog template. but I can't [and don't have the tools] to design one that's super fantastic on my own....but I managed to "make" one that was remotely close to what I wanted....kind of...I'm gonna get the "html guide for dummies" book I think...or maybe not. It'd be cool to know how to do that, for sure...but that requires time, something I am swamped for these days. Geez.

Annnnnyway. Whatcha think? Yeah, don't answer that actually...ha...this post was nothing important, really. just a rant on my failure in html code designing and stuff....
