fun fact friday #13.

time for a:

{fun fact friday peeps.}

are you ready for this?

today's fun fact:

i always wished i could draw well.

this is about as good as it gets:

i admire people who have the drawing skill.

actually i'm quite envious to be honest.

stick people are awesome,


{the drawing was by me. don't make fun. it is my mom and little m. isn't it a beaut?}

well, well, well. lookey here.

hey guys, new features coming your way!

first in tow?

see the "♥d.i.y♥", "♥the daily wears♥", and "♥books, recipies, and other supurb stuff♥" icons right below my blog banner?

yeah, you can click on them and they'll direct you to my other pages!

some of them have yet to get some substance, however they are at least there to look at!

have fun exploring and i as i mentioned before, bear with me as these changes take place.

have a good one peeps.

i'm out.

hot then i'm cold,

i'm sick of...

my room.

i don't like the way it's decorated anymore!

(i don't really know that i ever did...)

its dark and stuffy and white trashy.

i want something more like:

{matching and put together}

{femenine and hippie -- LOVE the sparrows on the wall. LOVE.}

{lots of fun, quirky pictures.}

{colorful, open and light.}

someday i'll get to redecorating.

someday.

someday, when i'm awfully low,

{all these incredibly awesome rooms that are so much better then mine were found via weheartit. of course they were.}

hi-ya.

welcome to my newest followers.

thanks for thinking i'm cool enough to follow!

xoxo,

{i found the charming pics you see above via weheartit.}

blcky.

i feel like i haven't written in for-ev-er.

but in reality its only been a few days.

i just have had a hard time getting back into my groove,

since getting back from utah the second time.

(i always have a hard time getting back in my groove!)

i've been feeling lazy. and kind of anti-social.

so, i've been doing a lot of this:

{reading}

and watching this a lot:

{prince caspian}

and these:

{the olympics}

and working on the book i'm writing.

what have you guys been up to?

xoxo,

fun fact friday #12.

fffffun fact fridayyyyy.

here's a {fun fact} for you:

i still have my wisdom teeth.

yep. never had them out.

and i'm {24}.

is that like some kind of lame old record?

{guess i'm just smart}.

share a fun fact with me about yourself.

pearly whites,

you go evan.

been watching the olympics?

i have.

usually i'm not that into the winter olympics,

(summer olympics are more my style.

as a matter of fact summer everything is more my style.) 

but this year i have been tuning in quite often.

the highlight of my night?

evan lysacek winning gold in the mens figure skating competition!

he is the first american in 12 years to win gold in that sport,

and i was happy to see him do it!

congrats evan.

you rock.

(now if i could just get scotty lago a gold, i'll be happy.)

you spin my head right round,


{evan's pic discovered here.}

will you remember me?

(i know this is my 3rd post today. i'm sorry. this is the last one of the day i promise)

so. twilight fans.

if you hadn't planned on seeing remember me

(starring robert pattinson which is reason enough to see it...),

maybe you'll change your mind knowing that: the eclipse trailer will be played in the previews of remember me (which drops march 12th.)

i know i'll be there. will you?!

i will remember you,

lyrics: love save the empty

by: erin mccarley

little girls don't know how to be sweet girls.

mama didn't teach me.

little boys don't know how to treat little girls.

daddy didn't show me.

face down, on top of your bed.

oh why did i give it up to you?

is this how i shoot myself up high,

just high enough to get through?

again, the false affection.

again, we break down inside.

love save the empty.

love save the empty, and save me.

sad boy, you stare up at the sky

when no one's looking back at you.

you wear your every last disguise;

you're flying, then you fall through.

again, the false attention.

again, you're breaking inside.

love save the empty.

love save the empty, save me.

love save the empty.

love save the empty.

stars feel like knives,

they tell us why we're fighting.

storm, wait outside.

oh, love, hold us together.

love, save the empty.

love, save the empty.

love, save the empty.

love, save the empty, and save me.

and save me.

had i been there.

on the way home from utah, sissykins and i were discussing the things we wish we would have been there to see. not watch on television, but see live.

after this conversation, i thought i'd share with you 5 things i wish i had been there to see [live].

1. the 1996 atlanta, 2000 sydney, 2004 athens, and 2008 bejing olympic gymnastic events. and the 1980 lake placid, new york winter olympics.

i would have loved to see: the usa women's team win team all-around gold along with usa's gymnast's other medals (that was also my favorite usa women's gymnastic team EVER) in 1996, 2000 was not a good gymnastic year for the u.s. but it was my favorite men's team. usa's male and female gymnastics team win silver in athens 2004 (as well as their other medals), and bronze (for the men) and silver (for the women) in bejing - as well as their other medals,

aleksei namov's (russian gymnast. one of my FAVES. - other faves include blaine wilson, john roethlisberger, shannon miller, nastia liukin, and shawn johnson.) last olympic hurrah in athens, amoung all his other incredible routines all the other years.
as for the 1980 lake placid olympics, it would have been incredible to see usa's hockey team win gold against russia. (yeah you can just watch miracle to see this, but how cool would it have been to actually be there!)

2. celine dion's a new day concert in las vegas.

it ran for 3 years.
i lived an hour and half away from vegas.
and i never saw it.

boo.

3. justin timberlake's madison square garden's

beat box number.

yep. i was an *nsync fan. a big one. although i saw their no strings attached tour live in las vegas, justin gave a special treat to madison square gardens. i've seen it on dvd (okay okay! i OWN the *nsync at madison square garden's dvd... i haven't watched it in years, but i own it.) but i would've love to have seen it live.

4. idina menzel. as elphaba. in wicked. on broadway.

so i've seen wicked and on broadway too. as amazing as it was, i was seriously missing the voices of idina menzel (the origianl elphaba) not to mentino kristen chenoweth (the original glinda). it would have been kind of incredible to see.

5. david "big papi" ortiz (the red socks' designated hitter) being struck out by the yankees in july 2008.

i believe it was joba chamberlain who struck him out... but i could be wrong. the yankees are my #1 team (dodgers are #2), and i would have loved to see them win their world series, BUT striking out their biggest rivals designated hitter? yeah. that would have been great to see.

okay so none of them are historical moments that changed america. and yes it would have been awesome to see things you really only read about in history books (the signing of the decleration of independance, paul revere's night ride, the crossing of the deleware) BUT these are small things that i witnessed on television (or dvd) and thought "man i wish i was there right now!"

what do you wish you would have seen live?

if i were a rich girl,
