my best friend is so hard to shop for. seriously.

Warning: this post contains proof that I actually act like a real 16 year old sometimes. *wink*

Okay. So this is my best friend.

This is our "OMG WE ARE GOING TO SEE PHIL WICKHAM IN AN HOUR!!!!!!!!" face.

We love to photobooth it up in the car going random places...yeah....

She's the only one I make lame faces in photos with. Really. True story.

Oh yeah. and she's also like 5'11". In case you forgot, I'm 5'2". Opposites OBVIOUSLY attract.

Oh, last year. We were so immature then. ;) bahahaha.

The only cool part about this photo is that we're sitting on a tractor. We have an obsession with the song "Big Green Tractor" by Jason Aldean - because she had an obsession with a boy...who liked that song....and yeah. I'll just leave it at that...we like John Deere tractors. SO much in fact, that we will randomly say in a valley girl voice on frequent occasions, "Tractors! Green ones, yahhh." It's a teenage girl thing, I guess...

Thisis possibly my favorite picture of her ever.....but it's only funny because Sam is sitting in the background, and looks like he's checking a chick out, when in reality, that's how sam looks all the time. He likes to dramatically look off into the distance. And then Becca looks like she's disaproving of the situation. It's just fantastic, really.

Black friday shopping last year...showing off our new lipgloss from bath and body works...we have an obsession with that too. I seriously almost have every single flavor they have ever made. Ignore the fact that we both look like chipmunks on crack, please.

But we're done with photos for now. Kay?

She's the coolest person in the WORLD. And the only one I make lame teenager faces in photos with. Seriously. You can't make me do it unless she's doing it with me.....hahaha. But I suuuuuuuuck at shopping for her....really. I mean, she loves tshirts from C28.com, but I can't get her anymore of those because she has like a freaking million and we REALLY need to work on expanding her wardrobe. That gift would not help with that endeavor, and she agrees...

So here's the deal. I realllllly need your help with ideas. Cause I'm out of ideas. She likes the colors green blue, purple, but not really pink. I'm thinking of getting her some scarves, maybe, or a really cool new wallet, cause her's is in need of retirement. I'm also thinking of getting her a new guitar strap, or making her a reallly cool one. What do you think? any other ideas? Just throw em out there, I could use all the help I can get!

And hopefully today is not the day she decides to read my blog. Hopefully......

handmade snowglobes

I have been seeing these adorable globes all over for months now, so I had to make my own! :)

Aren't they just darling? I think so! My mom loves them and they literally took about 5 minutes each to make. Here are a couple different tutorials you can follow - but don't feel like you have to! They're so easy it's hard to mess it up!

Enjoy - these are so fun to make!

the latest thanksgiving post in blog world.

People keep posting, saying they're the latest to post about thanksgiving.

Nope...

People...

That's me....yeah.

I'm terrible.

Here are a few pictures of our food - I didn't take many people pictures cause no one was cooperating. And then my step cousin thought I was crazy, taking so many pictures of the food. Oh, the joys of being me. Ha...anyway. here you are :)

That is all for my late thanksgiving post....I'm terrible. I know. And now you're probably done reading about thanksgiving for at least 11 months. 

And....over and out.

semi-awkward random question game

I just read this post on Kaycie's blog and had to copy  her, (terrible, I know) and do my own! I love answering random questions...feel free to repost this on your blog, and if ya do, leave me a link!! :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. What's a nickname only your family calls you?
My uncle calls me Ruthie, but he's the only one that allowed to call me that in my family, and there are a few exceptions outside of family...some of my closest friends call me that too...my cousin calls me twin, cause we're both redheads and look strikingly alike.... Oh, and outside of my family, I'm called Daisy Mae by all my guy friends. I'll have to share that story sometime...ha...

2. What's a weird habit of yours?
I honestly don't know..ask my best friend? How bout this, I'll ask my best friend and get back to you. Ha...

3. What's a song you secretly LOVE to blast & belt out when you're alone?
Um.....party in the usa. I cannot believe I just admitted to that.........gosh dang it.

4. What's one of your biggest pet peeves?
Clicking pens. All the kids in my youth group click their pens allllllll during the sermon, and it drives me nuts. Also....I hate it when I ask my mom something, and she's still looking at her computer or phone (it's always work or school related, I promise she doesn't just sit there haha), but acts like she's listening, then when I ask her a follow up question two minutes late she goes "huuuuuh..?" while she's still looking at the computer. makes me so mad! haha, sorry momma ;)

What's one of your nervous habits?
Don't laugh. But I can "pop" the "knuckle" on my big toe of my right foot using my second biggest toe...I know, I know, absolutely absurdly strange. But I really do it all night until I fall asleep...pop my toe, wiggle my ankle, do it again, repeat....don't judge ;) bahahah. But for some reason I do that when I go to sleep, and when I'm nervous. Also, I yawn a million times when I'm nervous.

6. What side of the bed do you sleep on?
The middle most of the time. I have a queen bed and generally arrange all 12 of my pillows (yes, you read that right, I'm obsessive) to perfection. But sometimes I end up sleeping in the strangest positions. weird.

7. What was your first stuffed animal & it's name?
I never named my first stuffed animal! Shocking, I know. He was always just "my bear"...super cute white fluffy bear :) sooooooo adorable.

8. What's the drink you ALWAYS order at Starbucks?
Java Chip Frap, or Pumpkin Spice Frap. Ironic, cause it's colder than cold where I live over half the year, and I always freeze when I drink it, but hey, whatever.

9. What's the beauty rule you preach.. but never ACTUALLY practice?
Hahahaha I'm so lame when it comes to beauty. I never wash my face, and have never had acne, ever. And what I wear for makeup is pretty pathetic so I have nothing for this one....

10. Which way do you face in the shower?
I walk in circles like Kaycie...hahaha!

11. Do you have any 'weird' body 'skills'?
Nope....

12. What's your favorite 'comfort food'/food thats 'bad' but you love to eat it anyways?
Oreos....it's bad, folks.

13. What's a phrase or exclamation you always say?
"that's so fantastic!" "I know, right?" "Y'all" even though I'm not from Texas...darn.

14. Time to sleep - what are you wearing?
Depends on the day....pjs or next to nothing, most of the time.

That was fun, hope you enjoyed reading it! :) Happy Wednesday!!!
