Poetic BEDA #13

Today is so poetic, Maggie is leaving today and it's raining. I'm also going to a party in a little while to say good bye to our childhood. It's like in Men in Black. "Baby, your not sad because it's raining, it's raining because you're sad." Because of this, I think I am the weather lord.

HUZZAH!

My Problem BEDA #12

I promise I promise I promise....*fingers crossed* ....


I have a problem. This problem is that if I tell anyone about an idea or something that I'm doing, I then DON'T DO IT. It is a serious problem and I am thinking about seeing a psychologist about it(not really). Although I really do need to figure out how to not do this. Well... I will do two today and then two tomorrow, that'll be good.

Where do I begin? I feel like there is a lot I haven't told you...even though nothing comes to mind when I think about the past three days except for the obvious. So I guess I'll stick with the obvious.

Today, I had to say good bye to one of my dearest friends, Maggie. It was weird and I thought I would cry, actually I almost did but before I actually said good bye. I asked my parents if I could take the car to hang out with her and my mom taunted me saying, "Oh they're all leaving you, how sad." and in my head I was rolling my eyes and saying "stop being so sappy mom..." but then this little person inside said, "this is the last time you'll see everyone until Christmas, a lot changes in 4 months..." and I teared up. The actual good bye was nice, I hung out with her family and then another friend came over and we all talked and packed and watched YouTube and ate amazingly good Indian food and talked some more. It was delightful.

Well I think this is a blog post.

Until next time(very soon),

All Caught Up! BEDA #11

so today I decided to sign up for Netflix, which I believe is a wonderful investment for a short while. I then went to a picnic with some friends but I got there early so I got to pick the spot where we were going to sit, I'm sure I'll tell a funny story later about tonight but right now im just waiting. So no really funny story that pokes out at me, though it was a good time.

We went to the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art and had a picnic on the lawn, while waiting for the sun to go down and for it to be dark we ate nutter butters and oreos. The Nelson has two buildings, the old one and the new one, which is called the Bloch building I believe. The building is very modern and you can take silhouette pictures against it so we did. It was great, the Nelson is just so beautiful. I think I am going to miss that place a lot, it's so peaceful and fresh when you're there, it's great.

Well, I think this post is done, hopefully I will have a bit more stability for the next couple of days.

No Title BEDA #10

so yesterday, I went over to maggies house and we played magic the gathering again, I owned. we then proceeded to make butterbeer which was delicious although the whipped topping is much to strong for my liking. I then went home and kinda was a bum. you know those days where you just don't know what you really did with your time? yesterday was like that.

sorry for the bad punctuation today.

So on August 9th... BEDA #9

I feel like I did something August 9th, like something where I went out in the morning and I didn't come back home until late and then I just hit the bed...but I can't seem to remember what...I KNOW! I actually didn't get out early and come home late, I was cleaning all day! I even read some blogs and tricked my mind into thinking that I wrote a blog...silly brain. Yea...August 9th was a productive day. I made tons and tons of lists, and I partially cleaned my desk and put things in folders. I like when things fit in folders. It's nice.

I'm spacey.

spacespacespacespace <-spaces.

your spacey spaciness,

Busy Busy BEDA #8

I had such a productive day!

1. Took a shower
2. Called Apple because I didn't get my Back to School Promo
3. My friend picked me up and we went to:
a. Bed Bath and Beyond
b. Kinkos to fax something for Apple where I stupidly left my Debit card.
c. The Bank
d. Target where we found Magic: The Gathering cards, and I bought a pair of what my mom calls grannie shoes. Don't ask me why, I have no idea.
e. Scurried back to Kinkos to retrieve my debit card.
f. A camera store where Maggie bought a fancy shmancy tripod.
g. Maggie's house to drop off her sister
h. my house to learn how to play Magic: The Gathering
i. had dinner consisting of squash and tomatoes with olive oil and herbs and then a lovely hamburger and lazy daisy cake, delicious.
j. played a full game of Magic: The Gathering.
k. Maggie left to go home and so I....
4. Watched Amelie, which is absolutely beautiful and amazing and ahhh...films like those are reasons why I keep going to movies because occasionally a gem like that comes out and it just takes your breath away.

I know this was a choppy post but it was the only way to explain what happened today in an organized fashion. I am sure the events that happened today will pop up again later this week. But for now I am going to just sit in awe of a beautiful film.

Vintage Clothing BEDA #7

So yesterday, well technically two days ago since it is 1:00 in Kansas City, I went to this place called Re-Runs. Re-Runs is set up where they have a store in Westport and then their warehouse at a different location and their warehouse is huge and only open on saturdays for 6 hours. The warehouse is kind of like thrift store shopping but everything in it is vintage...it's really great and really cheap but you do have to be patient and sort through racks upon racks upon racks of clothes and you may pull something but then realize there are really bad pit-stains or something is wrong with the item. Anyways. I will show you what I bought:
1. Long skirt, I can't decide if I want to hem it or not, I haven't tried it on yet but I think this will be a bit of a difficult decision. I am fairly short, so long skirts or maxi dresses don't look the best on me but at the same time I really love long skirts...I can't decide...
2. A silk long sleeve XL shirt, I think it'd be great to wear with leggings and a belt, the texture is great and its cream colored, with no pit stains(thank god). Super happy with this purchase!
3. GREEN PANTS! WOOO!! These pants are so great!! They feel amazing and they are just such a good find, I'm not even sure if they fit me but I will make it work just because they are THAT great.
4. Off-white long sleeve shirt. The weave of the fabric is really interesting and it feels nice, but kinda weird. Its hard to describe. I'm not even sure what the material is.





Alright so the best part is that I only spent 22 dollars...yea..the skirt was 6, the shirts were 4 each, and the pants were 8...such a steal, even if they don't fit completely the way I want them to, that's still a total buy.
