Valentine weekend

Valentines weekend was so fun. We spent most of it in San Diego with Levi's family. His brother and family came out along with his step mom and little brother. We stayed with his cousin Eean and family and there were little kids running all over ther place. On Valentine morning we went to breakfast with my Aunt and Uncle who live in Ocean Beach and then went back to the house to take naps (it was a very long night before). The next morning we drove back up to Santa Barbara and saw Slumdog Millionare! It was incredible! oohh soooo goood. Definitely worth seeing in theaters. Oh and Levi and all his room mates appreciated the cookies and rice crispy treats.

Lessons Learned

Have you ever painted your nails and then gotten hungry? Oh and then realized you had nail polish on your tongue? Yep, did that today. Learned that lesson real fast.

So then you re-paint your nails and then remember you want to do your hair today... learned that lesson also.

So re-paint nails again... and yeah, finish packing? I think I'm losing my mind. another lesson learned.

Now I shall re-paint again, when I should be studying for my exam.

Here's to a day of bad ideas.

It's a Pink Blush Day

What girl doesn't want an excuse to put on some lip gloss, pink blush, and 50's home maker inspired baking accessories? Well, this is one of my favorite things to do while making goodies. Today was my perfect excuse to play dress up. I baked the entire day in preparation for Valentine's Day with Levi! I am leaving tomorrow night to see him so I had to get everything done today. Now I will be in the library the rest of the night preparing for my exam and writing a paper (what I should have been doing all day). Here are some pictures from today's activities.


some key ingredients, and my new oven mit.


the cookie cutters i bought!


getting started. Apron was a gift from Courtnee, Skirt was a gift from Amy.



these did not turn out how i was hoping.



mmmm

welcome to the mess I made.

The three kinds I made are: white/milk chocolate chip, milk/dark chocolate chip, and M&M/milk chocolate chip. Sadly, the hearts only turned out for about three of them because they were too close together and got all smooshed. I also couldn't remember the recipe while I was making the first batch.. so I had to wing it. But, I remembered for the next ones at least!

Then I made these for the first time...




These hearts turned out WAAAYYYY better. Successful first time Rice Krispie Treat making.

Because Christy Cares

Since Christy is in London, I decided to post some outfits. Because even though we may be far apart, we still care about what the other is wearing. Obviously. And Christy I am pretty sure you are the only one that looks at this little blog of mine. :) So, since I am going to visit Levi this weekend and typically you are here to judge my outfits... I figured I should put some of them up.

Outfit One:

I am thinking this one for the airport? It is simple, and very comfortable and Levi will recognize me from a mile away. (Do you like my nice touch with the suitcase? ha to put it in perspective). These jeans remind me a bit of the 90's. I have not had faded jeans in sooo long. But they are the most comfy things in the world, I pretty much wear them everyday now.

Outfit Two:

I'm thinking this outfit would be perfect if the sun happened to come out and give us a warm day. It would be wonderful for a walk on the beach. It is completely modeled after the photograph I have hanging on my bathroom wall of Audrey Hepburn (below).

These will be the alterations I make if it is cold and rainy... which it has been the past week. Possibly no scarf.


Outfit Three:

This little number is for the very slim chance(since we are broke) that Levi and I go out for Valentine's Day. Haha we shall see.

Little Extras:
Here are a couple outfits that I may or may not bring to California.


This was a day Amy and I were going to lunch at Olive Garden to visit Cass. She bought me the scarf in Spain!


Here is me right before class. Sadly this is a completely different gray sweater than the lunch with Amy one. I just couldn't help myself, it was so soft. And here are my 90's jeans again.


Of course, the everyday boots.


Here are my nails. I am not really a fan of black nail polish but I will forever be a fan of the almost black marrooonn... And clearly I could not paint over my busted pinky because I like to watch its progress.

And obviously there are many more that I did not post because one can only take so many pictures of themselves. But don't you worry I definitely planned everything from the pens and pencils I will have in my purse to the PJ's I'll wear. haha. Well Christy I hope you enjoy! I love and miss you and can't wait til you come home! And I will of course post pictures from my trip :)
