Longest Weekend Ever

Ahhh! WHAT A WEEKEND! As you may or may not know, I had my wisdom teeth removed Friday morning and it's been a big pain. They weren't actually ready to come out, but were growing in on a nerve so they had to be removed early. It's been very painful and this has felt like the longest weekend imaginable. Earlier today my dentist had to rush to meet us at his office to fix my dry socket. Talk about painful! I was just laying in bed hysterically crying my eyes out with my poor dad all helpless not knowing what to do. Luckily though, I got to the dentist and got everything all cleaned out and now the pain is only minimal and he said everything seems to be healing up nicely. Woo!

This weekend has also given me a new appreciation for my mom. I honestly wouldn't have survived this weekend without her. I've got the best mommy in the world! I love her so much. She's been waiting on me constantly since Friday and I'm pretty sure the weekend has felt just as long for her. Thanks, Mom, you're the best!

Anyway, last night we rented An Education which I'd been dying to see. I don't quite know my opinion on it honestly. I mean the clothes in the movie are to die for! I'd wear everything the girls in the movie wear. And I love her love for France. That part was so relatable to me, as I've been obsessed with France for as long as I can remember. I'm even learning to speak French right now! Also, I've always said I'm going to be with an older man and I've always found older men so much more attractive, so it was definitely a movie I could relate to. Yet, the plot was rather dull and at the end of the movie I just kind of sat there like "Oh, okay." It didn't really make you feel anything at all and I like movies that make me feel, whether it's happy, sad, scared, sick, anything at all. This movie was just like looking at pretty pictures that don't mean anything to you. But even after saying that, I definitely think anyone should watch it, if anything just for the clothes, the adorable girl, and Peter Sarsgaard isn't too shabby.







I hope you all had a much nicer weekend than I did. Hopefully I'll be feeling fully back to myself in a few days and I'll be able to get back into the swing of things. This has been such an off week, with the holiday weekend, then getting sick, then this over the weekend. I promise things will be back to normal ASAP!

Murderous Monday

Sorry for the morbid title, but I suppose I had a rather morbid day. Not that that's a bad thing though, it's just because that's how I chose to spend my day. I started out with some Criminal Minds episodes during breakfast, then watched the 20 Most Shocking Hollywood Murders followed by Going Postal: 15 Shocking Acts of Violence on E during lunch. I find these shows so interesting in a really strange way. I guess it's sort of my guilty pleasure. I used to want to be an FBI Special Agent and try to make my way to Quantico to profile criminals. But that was just a dream, honestly, I don't think I'd have the guts. So I'd rather sit on my couch for hours watching the gruesome scenes, pretending I was the one who solved the case.



My outfit today is definitely not the most exciting one I've ever worn. It took quite awhile for me to decide what to wear today. I think I'm in a sort of style rut due to the fact that it's March and spring is so close. It's not cold enough to bundle up, but it's not sunny enough or warm enough to run around in sun dresses sans tights. It's been so dreary outside I don't even really want to dress up, I'd rather wear sweats and a t-shirt and stay cuddled up on my couch with a pot of tea and watch my favorite movies. But I must get dressed, so today I went for this little gray ensemble and added the magenta tights to match the hint of magenta in the floral pattern of the dress I'm wearing. (Yes, it's actually one of my favorite dresses that I turned into a top.)



Now I'm off to watch one of my all time favorite movies, Inglourious Basterds (more morbidness) while I make Rainbow Cupcakes for tonight. Seeing as it is Monday, tonight a few friends will come over to eat dessert and watch Jack Bauer kick some ass on 24. It's the greatest show on television, second only to my one true love, Criminal Minds. Seriously, if you don't watch 24, I highly suggest picking up the first season and having it on hand for a rainy day. It's incredibly addciting and amazingly wonderful. And speaking of Inglourious Basterds, CONGRATULATIONS CHRISTOPH WALTZ!, you totally deserved it, you did an incredible job as The Jew Hunter.

P.S. I just looked back over this post and looked at that last photo.. sorry about my terribly unattractive/embarrassing face. My sister made me laugh. Hahaha, wowww..

Child's Play

Ah, Saturday. Unlike most people, I dread Saturday all week due to the fact that I have to work the entire day and am completely exhausted by the end of the day. I guess you could say that Saturdays are sort of my Mondays, which is so incredibly wrong. But luckily, I got ready early this morning and had time to drive to the park this morning and get these shots of my outfit. I'm really happy with how they turned out. I felt like the park was the perfect place because I felt like such a little girl in those socks, with big bows on my shoes in a frilly dress. Sometimes I really miss being a kid, those were the days.







This outfit was created due to the fact that Alice was still on my mind. This is the first time I've actually worn this dress since the dressing room in Target because I never really knew how to wear it. I knew I loved it because it's my favorite color and it's so pretty and girly, but I just didn't know how to make it into an outfit. I loved Alice's blue dress and little socks and when I got home this outfit popped into my head. I felt like Alice in Wonderland all day and it made work a little better, hehehe.

Work today was rather brutal. I'm a receptionist at a hair salon and today we had a million girls coming in for up-do's for prom, as well as a wedding. I was running around like a chicken with it's head cut off from 11-7. Ughhh. Everywhere I turned there was someone asking me to do something or a phone ringing or a dish to wash or towels to fold...you get the idea. I'm totally ready to chill tonight cooking dinner and playing a little Wii. And lucky for me, I've got tomorrow off! That never happens. I'm hoping for a nice sunny day so I can take my pictures for the weardrobe spring break contest. I've got some pretty good ideas, I'm excited.

Alice @ Midnight

So last night I went to the midnight premiere of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. IT. WAS. AWESOME. I was slightly afraid of being disappointed, but with such a great director and an awesome cast, I shouldn't have doubted it. I mean, it's Johnny Depp, how could it possibly be anything but great? Even as Edward Scissorhands or The Hatter, Johnny is absolutely beautiful. There was one thing at the end that really.. disturbed me. I would say what it was, but I won't spoil it and anyone who's seen the movie knows exactly what I'm talking about. But overall, I'd say it was great. The only thing that would've been better would be if I could've seen it in 3D.



This is the outfit I wore last night to the movie. And I have a confession, truth be told, I just wore this outfit this week! I never really do that, I usually wait quite awhile to reware an outfit and when I do, I change it up so that it doesn't seem like I'm wearing the exact same thing because I feel like that's boring. However, this time, I was so in love with this outfit, especially the skirt and that's one of my favorite cardigans and I felt the crazy mix of patterns was appropriate for Alice in Wonderland, hehe.
