 HOT

tervis tumblers. expensive? yes. but well worth the money. plus, my water consumption has gone up 50%** since laceface bought me this one. --->


white men's undershirts: what did we womenfolk do before we realized that we could also wear these? pair one with jeans/yoga pants/scarf/glasses and you have instant cute outfit.


blog obsessions. my sis and i are in love with natthefatrat. read this post about her husband. she can turn the most everyday occurrence into a hilarious story. it's a gift.


halls cough drops in tropical fruit. same as all the other halls cough drops, except they don't taste like a menthol factory blew up in your sinus cavity.

A Beautiful Mess

I would never get one, but I think trendy girls with sleeve tattoos are super cool.

"Why must people kneel down to pray? If I really wanted to pray, I'll tell you what I'd do. I'd go out into a great big field all alone or into the deep, deep woods, and I'd look up into the sky- up-up-up- into that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. And then I'd just feel a prayer."

-Anne of Green Gables

NOT

miranda lambert getting married. she's supposed to write angry breakup songs for us girls forevvvvver.

being the only person in the world who hasn't read "The Hunger Games". am i lame or what? I can rent it for free from the library on my kindle, but there's a 300 person waiting list.

Madonna at the superbowl. I don't think this needs further elaboration.

being sick. i've killed a small rainforest with my tissue consumption.

for the millionth time, i'm sorry about the formatting on this post. for some reason adding different font sizes and pictures is just toooooo flippin much for blogger to handle. this could probably be remedied if i understood HTML, but i'm not that big of a nerd. yet. 

Hot/Not

Hot:

 Mustard! Only on clothes though. I bought these babies for $5 at Forever 21





Authentic Mexican food. As in, no one at the restaurant speaks English and they also have a raw meat market in the other half of the building. Of course, I'm the awkward one that confuses the waitress and messes up everyone's drink order. Go. Me.

sporcle
addicting as all get out.

someecards- freaking hilarious 

My chissy. How cute is that face?

Not: 

Blogger! This is so “big brother”-ish of me to say, but I was almost afraid to list this one, in case “they” are reading and delete my blog or something.  But in all seriousness, I’m either really dumb or Blogger is super un-friendly, cause I have serious formatting issues.

People who pull up next to me in their car and yell at me because I didn't let them over.  Sorry I’m an bad driver. It’s why I don’t have a Jesus fish on my car.

1-800-CONTACTS commercials. Do they really pay somebody to come up with these? The kids I nanny are waaaaay wittier and would probably work for unlimited fro-yo.

Accidently yanking your earbuds out when you’re listening to a song. Seriously, is there anything more annoying?

Sporcle quizzes. I got 40% on “World Countries” and 88% on “Harry Potter Surnames”. I’m sure exactly what that says about me, but I’m sure it’s not good.

Hot/Not

Hot:

Metallic nailpolish  

Fall weather! I've been wearing long sleeves since August in anticipation.  Now the weather actually makes my clothing choices look appropriate. 

 

Krankie's Coffee on 3rd Street.  It is super cool inside and the coffee made me WIRED.

REAL CONDITIONER.  Just switched back to regular conditioner (Tresemme, in case you were wondering) after I ran out of my "clean" conditioner. My hair is sooo soft and smells soooo good.  I don't care if I'm pumping my hair full of parabens and waxes, I ain't never going back.


College Students!

Some of the big issues in these years [college] are: sex, art, music, money, gender, business and culture. Does Jesus have anything to do with the corporate world? Does Jesus have anything to say about sex, gender and relationships that’s relevant today? How do art and music fit into the big picture of the story of God? What we think about these issues is often decided upon during the college years and then played out over our lifetime.

I loved this quote from The Resurgence

 Philosoraptor!

Spotify. and StumbleUpon.  and Twitter.  How do amish people do it? What do they do with their free time?

Gungor! Yes, I do try to be as trendy as possible in all situations. 

Song: "You Have Me" off the album "Beautiful Things"

Not:

One hour parking downtown.  Really? Where can you go downtown for just one hour? Don't worry, City of Winston-Salem, I'll interrupt discipleship to run back and feed you quarters. No prob.

Wake Forest beating NCSU in football. I probably should have expected it, but still.

Pajama jeans. This is not a joke! 

Are they going to be like Snuggies, where everyone mocks them mercilessly and then suddenly all your friends have one?

Fixing my car! Do windshield wiper squirter thingys really need to cost $50 a piece when you can by a squirt bottle with the same mechanism at Dollar Tree?  And how on earth did I break the squirters in the first place? Sigh.

• a denim shirt with jean shorts. i'm talking to you, mr. used car salesman.
• when you order something in another language at a restaurant and the waiter responds "what?".  Seriously. it's Macaroni Grill, not a restaurant in Italy. Put your stupid menu in English.
