I'm a bit wordy today. Beware.

Don't you just love it when things really go the way they're supposed to, or how you planned it?

Yesterday's "To Do":

• Park time with sweet cupcake [win]
• Shoe shopping with Carini [fail]
• Rocky Horror Picture Show [fail] 

 When they don't though, it blows. A real bummer.

So, yesterday started off nearly perfect. I woke up to a bright and Fall weathered day. Sweet cupcake and I grabbed some throw away cameras, a delicious Jason's Deli lunch, and headed to the park. I think the only downer was all the walking I had to do. I'm so lazy apparently. Ha. Anyway, we both definitely agreed that we'll be doing that again soon....err, or whenever we ever get the chance again. The whole him living 15 minutes away thing still doesn't allow us to see each other more often, so don't be fooled. Our schedules are so wack.

Anyway, due to a lovely walk with nature and snapping away, we definitely lost track of time and I missed out on shoe shopping with Carini. Thanks, time management skills. Boo and hiss at my lack of that skill. We did however manage to get ready together for the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Carini dressed as Magenta and I curled her hair. Random...but, I had forgotten why I liked hairspray until I used it on Carini. That product was a charm with keeping her curls up. She looked so awesome! :)

So, the show time was starting at 8:15ish. We all gathered and headed towards downtown with the anticipation of crazy costumes and a great time. I just wanted to point out that we did technically get there on time. We bought our tickets and half of us stood at the 20+ people ATM line. It was ridiculous. Even worse, the bar line was doubled. Unfortunately after so many minutes of my feet hurting from the horrid heels, shoulder bumping, and waiting....the other half of our crew came back with the worst news. No seats were available. I know right? Horrible, horrible...just shaking my head. Sweet cupcake was awesome enough to convince the theater to give us a refund. So ridiculous...the seating. Ugh. That was a major fail.

We all kind of separated from that. Sort of. Sweet cupcake, his classmate, and I went to a Halloween party. It was mediocre and still fun overall. The only thing I can boo to here is that I had to work this morning. Oh...six o'clock, please hurry soon!

Besides the win, fail, fail issue...I've concluded that I just worry too much about the little things. So what if we missed the Rocky Horror Picture Show? There will always be a next time. Also, Carini and I will have many more opportunities to shop together, even though both of us dislike it. Haha. I love that guh! :) One last thing is....sweet cupcake and I are still constructing our costume as John Lennon and Yoko Ono. I know....tsk tsk on us, but in all honesty....a day at the park totally beat Halloween costume shopping (this excludes the shoe shopping with Carini...I wanted to go with her - again, stupid time management). We'll figure something out though, I suppose.

Tonight we will be headed to Gadsden to another Halloween party. We're planning on making mummy dogs and grave shots of chocolate pudding. I wanted it to be chocolate mousse, but sweet cupcake was right about pudding taking less time. Oh...if only I didn't have to work today. On a brighter note though, sweet cupcake and I will be watching a play on Sunday! The Chronicles of Narnia. Have you ever seen the movie or read the books? I love it and I'm super excited. Just hoping for another win to even things out.

Sorry for all the jabbering today folks. What are all of you doing this weekend? Have you had any major wins or fails this week?

Each picture was like a breath of fresh air for me. Love love love. Sweet cupcake and I are heading to the park today. Hopefully I can take more throw away pictures! Later I'll be shoe shopping with Carini and then we'll be off to watch the Rocky Horror Picture Show tonight! It's the first time for me, so I hope it'll be fun. What are you guys doing today? What ever it may be, have a wonderful and inspiring Friday, everyone!

Pictures stolen from Taz!

Don't worry, this will be my last batch of pictures from the weekend in Atlanta. I feel like I've been slacking a bit on my blog and again, just getting by with slamming y'all with loads of pictures. I hope you didn't mind, but my normally blogging genre will return! :)

 All six of us in my dad's truck, heading the to Mall of Georgia!

 Caroline(13), Nancy(way in the back), Taz(picture taker), Kimberly(7), and partial of Heather's arm.

 Kimbug, Heather, and me doing something completely awkward as always.

 Us waiting on the little train driving around in the mall, because Kimbug wanted to ride it, and throwing pennies in the fountain to make wishes.

 Taz and I waiting on the rest of my sisters to meet up with us at Sephora!

 Leaving Mall of Georgia and sister picture!

 All my beautiful ladies having a good time. :)

 Kelly(in the white) breaking it down, while I'm busy trying to balance myself from falling because my heels were really high.

 Random shot, of course.

 Myself, Nancy, Heather, and Tasee.

 Ending the night at 3:30am at a Japanese restaurant, eating sushi! YUM!

That is all, folks! I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday! I am off work tomorrow and might go watch the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Alabama theatre with sweet cupcake and Carini!

Here's a video of all of us riding the Carousel together and the weekend's getting closer! Wooooo Hooooooo!

PS. I honestly don't know why I allow myself to post such awkward and embarrassing pictures of myself? I guess I'll just go with the, "I like to laugh at myself" theory. (shrugs shoulders....haha)

Do you remember the last time you used a "throw away" camera? I don't. I was inspired by this sweet lady and decided to pick up some disposable cameras and snap away earlier this month. It's the first time in a loooong time, so this batch is really random. Sweet cupcake and I pulled over on the side of a road in Gadsden, AL and snapped away. I can't wait to take more disposable camera pictures. I love the suprises that you get once they're developed. The only picture that I edited was of sweet cupcake's tag(for privacy purposes only). The rest are purely from the scan. Enjoy!

 

Pictures stolen from my big sister Heather.

Here's the story... :)

It was a beautiful Thursday morning and my big sister finally arrived.

 We headed to downtown Birmingham to hear some music and exercise our awesome dance skills.

 The amazing sisters got me a yummy turtle birthday cake.

 I made my wish and thanked God for all of my blessings.

 We took sweet cupcake to eat Pho for the first time and became walruses.

 Finally, after too long of a time...all six of us from oldest to youngest are together again.

 We enjoyed a wonderful feast together.

 We laughed and we cried from laughter.

 We got all dolled up to go dance the night away.

 We ended the night exhausted, but I will never be too exhausted to get this priceless picture.

Then on the very last day, I was able to see more of my loved ones and visit all my babies. Jude looks so different from the last time I saw him. Wow, at how fast time flies. I can not wait for more memories like these! I hope you enjoyed the pictures and have a wonderful Tuesday! :)



PS. I'm quite amazed with how makeup transforms me. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like I look dead without it on. I'm not much of a makeup person, but maybe I should be. I kind of like it now. Just kinda.
