pumpkinny. monday. rant. you know, the norm.

So.....not to make this awkward or anything, but the last three days I have had the worst cramps of my life. True story. Today they're gone...so that's good...but still. Worst. Cramps. Ever. And I basically never get cramps...so I don't know what the deal was with that....lame. But the activities I participated in this weekend were not so lame...more to come on that tomorrow...muahahaha. And the only reason I'm doing it tomorrow is cause I have a ton of photos to edit...and I hate tuesday, so the awesomness from the photos will override the un-awesomeness of the weekend. okay? good. Glad we got that covered.

Anyway. I'm feeling pumpkinny again. {I just built a new word. Oh yeah, baby. Pumpkinny.}

P U M P K I N N Y.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnyway.

I decided to do something about it......

Again.

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies from Martha Stewart

This is what I decided to do today...after I take a biology test...and write two essays, and then do more algebra...and laundry...and all that. Oh yeah and then there's worship practice at 4....but yeah. It's happening today. Even if it happens at midnight....or something like that.

Yeah.

That's my monday rant...I feel better now.

What did you do this weekend?

Happy monday! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend, doing whatever it is you did! xoxo

HONESTLY.

panam and my obsession with ted.

I am obsessed with the "new" show PanAm - so very obsessed. I watch most of the episodes a good two to three times...it's madness, I tell you. 

I love the clothes - oh, how I love the clothes. 

I love Laura - even though she's fairly clueless.

And, I love Ted.

I love them better together, though.

I, really honestly truly, love Ted. Yes. He is just too too too sweet and totally adorable....sigh. Just LOOK at that face. Oh man. 

If you haven't had the chance to watch the show yet - do it! It's fabulous and fairly mild compared to most television these days. Seriously - go watch it, now! 

pattern-less dress, made by moi.

So, for the wedding I had nothing to wear..I looked into my closet on thursday, when all the kids were sick, and was so frustrated. So I rummaged in my  fabric supply, found some fabric, and voila, a dress was born. 

I knew what I wanted it to look like - vintage style, full skirt, a very wide boat neck front with a small V in the back, seven buttons down the back. Why seven, I don't know, but I wanted seven and I got it! muahahaha!

I helped set up for the wedding, so I had to get dressed there, therefore not warranting for pictures, and naturally I was kind of exhausted when I got home that evening, so the pictures are less than perfect, since I had to use self time in a corner of my basement which is a play area cause it had the best lighting setup....so ignore the teddy bears and such ;) heheh!

I wore a pair of pale lilac vintage shoes from the late 1940's to the early 1950's that were given to me by my grandma's neighbor, a string of pearls and a pair of pearl earrings. It was such a fun and classy outfit, I can't wait to wear it again! Again - excuse my lack of quality photos. It was late and I was a mess, but I had to get some pictures to show y'all :)

a wedding.

Oh, weddings. I love weddings.

Minus the fact that they make me want to get married...

But that's beside the point.

Sunday was the wedding of two of my very dear friends - Courtney and Russ. It was a beautiful, gorgeous, amazing wedding. Filled with God and absolutely darling. I was so excited that I got to go - originally I was going to be out of town, so had to decline the invite, but the weather changed that, and so I last minute called Court and asked if she still had room for me to be there - I was so happy she did! I didn't take any pictures - but I thought I would post the ones from their photographer's Flickr.

 Aren't they a beautiful couple!? I love you Russ and Courtney - and was so blessed to be able to share in the celebrating of your marriage! ♥
