Let's Just Take A Moment,

And revel in how cool the world is.

Who'd've thunk that I would have a blog. And that I would stick with it long enough to see the 100th post. (now the 101st)

Last night I was thinking about blogs and how when i read my favorite ones, I feel like I'm connected to the writers, I feel like I'm friends with them, invested in their wins and their losses. 
I don't normally just write posts about my days, because I feel like my days aren't fascinating enough for all of that... or I think that if I write a big whole paragraph or page long text then people won't take the plunge and read it. 
Oh my gosh, here, on my own Blog (!) I'm afraid to be myself! How dumb is that?
I don't know you, and if you stop by for one visit, and decide that you're not interested in reading more, that's fine! It's your deal and this is my deal and people are all different and looking for different things in life. 
Wow, when did this become a rant? 
Let's stop.

Alrighty, on another note, let's keep it a little up-beat,
This Saturday I'm going to watch my first LIVE RUGBY GAME! in GR, and I don't want to get my hopes up too high, but IT'S GOING TO BE FREAKING AWESOME!!!
Rugby is seriously the best sport ever, and I'm not a sports kinda girl, so that's really saying a lot. 
So this weekend, rugby, and next weekend I'm going to ARTPRIZE! Woo hoo! I've been looking forward to this all year, and I'm stoked. 
So look for posts concerning the above mentioned things... I shall make a concerted effort to document all happenings :-)

Ta!

OWL WEDNESDAY

I feel like my weeks go by so quickly that I can't keep track of the days.
Owl Wednesday always sneaks up on me.


And it usually waits until supper time to do it.
So rude.
mini wallet, owl style

 Owl objects have been popping up everywhere in my life.
there's a cute "new" shop in the next town over, and it's a vintage resale shop, I saw tons of vintage owl things there! They're just coming out of the wood work! But I love it.
Though, I think Cara said that she doesn't fancy that bag because it's "too owly"... really? is there such a thing? I'm not sure.
These pics are from my day out with Cara, things we found at Target. Very Cool.

Art Prize Monday!

Just kidding, I'm not going to make Mondays a weekly thing too... gosh that would just be TOO MUCH!
But here is a recap of my awesome weekend!
Over the weekend, my cousin Cara, who you've all heard me talk about (Hi CARA!)
came over and stayed at my house while the Aged Ps were out of town. :-)
We went to a "little" event called ART PRIZE which is held annually in Grand Rapids.

Before we went to art prize though, we went SHOPPING! Yaaaaaaay.
I bought skinny jeans! Yay, and Cara got a totally sweeeet purse.


We stopped by a coffee shop as soon as we entered "the big city" and Cara bought me some pretty sweet coffee...
Then we posed on the stares and took pictures of each other, while holding up the line of people... poor people just wanted to descend the stairs.



 Hot.














We thought that we would freeze, seeing at we live in Michigan, it's October, and we only had cardigans on to keep us warm. Smaaaaart.

We saw tons of cool art... some creepy art and some REALLY POORLY DRESSED PPL! I know that I probably shouldn't be putting other people down like that, but honestly... these chicks looked bad.

So I think that my FAVORITE piece was the story-high artsy Mona Lisa painting. It rocked. Are you ready to see some pics? SWEET!



That was my favorite part.

THEN:
We went to the mall and I got my ears RE-PIERCED because they were SUPER lopsided last time, and then the got infected and then they were all nasty and then one fell out because it was infected and then the other one got infected and i didn't know it so i took that earring out too and i couldn't get it back in and so i cried for a little while because it was depressing and we were on vacation so then i had to let them heal and also i had to prepare myself for getting them re-pierced because i hated it the first time and nearly fainted but I DIDN'T NEARLY FAINT THIS TIME!


But all in all, it was a good weekend!
And I will see you on Wednesday for OWL WEDNESDAY!

Ps. Cara and I have been making Two Nerd Bird videos, and this is our fourth week, so you should go check it out on YouTube!
