Happy Day After Christmas!

Why hello there!

I haven't written in a while... it's been a long week.

Christmas Eve....sucked!

Christmas Day was amazing!

I got to spend all day with my amazing boyfriend and his family. I didn't want to go home. Story of my life. First we were at his sisters. She's so sweet. She and her husband have an adorable little baby boy, Clark. I actually took a few pics of him. None of the boy and I. He hate's pictures. Grr. Anyways! Then we spent the rest of the night at his mom's then he took me home. I can't wait to spend more time with him!!!

Sorry. Gushing over. :)

So today I'm waiting Impatiently for my Shabby Apple necklace to arrive, while cleaning my room, the kitchen, and doing laundry. I know. Fun right?

I still have glitter everywhere!

after the storm

Clean room! Yay!!!

So, I still need to do laundry, which is my mission for the moment, clean off my bed (that's made btw), and clean off my dresser.

I feel so accomplished.

b-e-a-utiful

{las botas negras}

need.i.say.more?

love at first sight

One of those days

Ever had one of those days, where you stop and look around, and you think to yourself, "What the heck was I thinking!!!"

Yea. Today's that day.

{my monster of a messy room}

You see my dilemma?

Soooo now you know what I'm spending my Saturday doing!

After pics later :) Hopefully.

Who Says?

So I know I still need to write about Sat. But that will come later :)

{music}

So I was gifted with a voice. But I hardly use it in public. Stage fright gets the best of me every single time.

But now, that won't stop me. My vow from this day forward is to use my Youtube account. To learn how to play the guitar so I can record me singing.

So, now I have to figure out a good place to record songs....

Here we go!

Wish me luck :)

The Fun of Black Friday

So, as I said before, I went hopping with my Aunt today. We ended up waiting till 7 this morning.

[run down of the day]

I got up at 6 am, got ready.
She got here about 6:45 am and we headed straight to Cleveland.
First we hit up Khols. Got a cute dress. I know!

*gasp* a dress? yes! my first dress!

You'll have to excuse... the mess that I look, and the mismatched socks. But you get the point!


Anyways!

Then we went to Target... No luck there.

Then came Micheal's where I bought some ribbon.

Then IHOP. Yum!

Then the search for a purity ring! Found One!

After that we hung out at my aunt's then picked up Caleb and headed back to my grandparents house.

So I have been going like an energizer bunny since 6 am. And Oh My Lord am I exhausted.

Plans for tomorrow. Hopefully more pictures.

Thankfulness Day

So today was turkey day. The day that you remember what all you're thankful for in life. And I fell as though I should write a drawn out post about what all I'm thankful for and how blessed i am, and the importance of today. But Honestly, You've read enough of that.

So I'll simply say this.

1. I'm truly blessed.
2. I'm thankful for everything and everyone in my life at this point.
3. I'm thankful for the lessons I've learned recently.
4. I'm thankful for people like Matt, Lisa, Morgan, Chad and several others that make my school days bright.
5. I'm thankful that my family and I are safe.
6. I'm thankful for a wonderful friend and mother of my godson, Anastasia.
7. I'm thankful for a beautiful godson.
8. I'm thankful that though he didn't really remember me, my little cousin Caleb wasn't shy of me and spent the afternoon running around the yard with me.
9. I'm thankful for a great church home.
10. I'm thankful for and to God. Because without Him, I'd have nothing and be nothing.

So now, I'm moving on to the day.

{the wonders of family}

Today was spent cooking, resting, eating, spending time with family, or in mine and Caleb's sake, running around, being loud, and getting sweaty. Awesome day!

Here's a few glimpses:

 

Look

Looks fun right?

So my Aunt is coming back at 10pm and were going to go Black Friday shopping :) Woot!

More later...

buenos noches

{the big bang theory}

The dumbest show I have ever seen. But for some reason, I'm sitting in my grandparent's living room with my uncle, watching this epicly pointless show.

The Adhesive Duck Deficiency is the episode we're watching for those of you ho actually watch this show.

At any rate. I'm debating on whether or not I want to post pictures of the house for you guys.

{thanksgiving}

Yes. It's tomorrow. I can't believe it! Wow!!!

I'm getting to see my Aunt and Uncle and baby cousin Caleb. I love that little boy. Well, he's 5 now. Not really a baby anymore... But since there's a 12 year difference between him and I, a 15 year difference between him and our cousin Blair, and an 18 year difference between him and my brother Brian, he's kinda the baby.

I also get to see our good friends Julia, Bill, and their son Tony. I grew up with Tony, so this should be interesting.

This show's getting funnier.

Sorry, got sidetracked. I think I'm going to rummage around for something to eat. Possibly a picture to end the night coming later.

TN

So I have arrived in Tennessee. And let me tell you, I am so pumped!

I have missed this place so much!!

Of course pictures will be up later.

{toodles}

oops

Yea. So remember that crocheting idea?

Yea... I made a mess...

oh dreaded nights

So... Beacuse I slept... oh, let's go with about 16-17 hours today, I'm not tired now. Stupid me.

So I have some yarn, Black, Worsted Weight, 4 PLY. If that means anything to you. It doesn't to me... And some crochet needles.

So I have a blue slouchy hat, and I want to make a black one... Sooo..... I'm going to attempt to make it! Woot me!

I have NO clue as to what I'm doing...


[here comes the madness}

the start.

Let's go!

some times...

Ever had one of those days? The kind where you go from happy to sad really quickly?

It's been a crazy week.

Tray's dad had a horrible accident. Prayers needed.

Friday morning I found out I have scoliosis... :(

Friday night - Sat. night I was at Anastasia's taking care of baby Kearse and hanging out with Stasia.

Got home Sat. about 5:30. Around 7, I passed out and didn't wake up till 1:30 am, went back to sleep, and slept till 9 this morning. Then ended up falling back asleep till about 12:30 pm.

Matt and I got into a fight over... heck I don't even know. I'm blaming myself, because I'm being too sensitive. I hate it. He's my best friend and I really don't wanna fight with him... Shed some tears... thought I was going to lose him, and now trying to put all the pieces back together and find out what's wrong...

My room... is a disaster...

My laptop fan isn't working properly...

And I'm sick all of the sudden on top of it.

I don't mean to complain... Especially since Thanksgiving is almost here.

We only have 2 days of school this week. And while I'm happy that I get a break to go to TN, I'm also sad, because that means 5 straight days that I don't get to see Matt, Lisa, Morgan, Chad, and the rest of my friends...

I am excited though about TN... If at all possible, I'm going to try and con my Mammaw into making her famous Key Lime Pie :)

I'll be sure to update you guys every day on what I'm doing...

insanity.

I think I might just go insane.

Yesterday, my boyfriend Tray and I broke up. My fault. Long story.

Today, Matt got elbowed in the lip and it got punctured. I have yet to examine it for myself.

Then when I got home from school, I get a message from Tray saying his dad's in the hospital. Please keep Tracy, his dad, in your prayers. He feel 25ft off a lift and hit cement. Last I heard, he has bleeding on his brain, his face was messed up pretty bad, along with his elbow. He was in surgery and already had stitches.



One of my girl friends got her heart broken, another of our girl friends is hurting due to that.

So that leaves me and Chad out of our gang that isn't hurt. Knock on wood.


It's been a mess of a few days. And I'm either locking myself in my closet next, or... I don't know.

So I guess my stress reliever is crafts...

My area is a mess. right now the ironing board is down... and covered in wax paper scraps. Another project pushed to the side...


I found a really cute new thing. Infinity scarfs. I love scarfs but I don't have an income, so The easiest way to get one is to make one! or two... or in my case, 4. I have a LOT of tee shirts around the house that I NEVER wear and just take up space.

Vixen Made is where I got the idea and instructions.

Pictures later. Oh and My dad found a beauty! I'm crazy about old coke bottles, actually any old glass containers. And mason jars too. Speaking of which, I ran across some earlier........

{anywhom}

I'll take a picture of it and put it up in a little while, but my dad found an old falls Pepsi Cola bottle. :) I love it!!

Off to be lost in prayer and crafts.

Love

Is there any need to say more than this??

I think not.

Inspiration: I'm Chrstian, unless you're gay.

conquered.

I did it.

A cm.

So small.

So much power.

Wow.

I get it.

City

We're working on 2 point perspective in Algebra 2.

Here's my city.

I still have to finish my house, and then a personal. Not sure what I'm going to do with my personal... I'm thinking about the Chattanooga Aquarium.

monsters

I love these things. No not the imaginary things that used to hide under our beds or in our closets. I'm talking about the energy drinks.

And boy do I chug the down. Now I know I know. They aren't good for you, they can cause heart problems, yada-yada-yay. But true be told, I don't really care.

I mean, I do, but I don't.

{Drink responsibly}

That's my Monster motto.

Anyways...

While I'm in a good mood, I might as well fess up. It's been on my mind, changed the way I look at things, and made me very wary about which books I pick out to read.

I have premonitions.

I'm not a superstitious person, and I am a Christian. But nothing I have found (so far) says that it's ungodly to have them. I truely hope it's not or I'm royally screwed.

Moving on!

I've had several that I can recall. And 1 that has yet to come true.

1. I had a dream. It was creepy and I hate re-living it. But it was a mixture of things, from me running in a swamp at dark, to a scene. The scene was a kitchen. It was black and white. It was light by a single bulb in the middle of the room. There was a little girl sitting in front of a fridge. Then the lights shut off, and all you heard was crunching. A strange crunching. And i just knew" the little girl was crunching on bones. The fridge door opens, casting light into the room, and all you see is blood spattered everywhere.

I had this dream when I was about 14. When I was 16 a story came out on the news for the first time, that 20 years earlier, this really happened. I dreamed of something that had yet to be shown to the public.

2. This truly happened. One day last summer, my mom and I were home alone. My dad was at my god parents house. He had been there all day. Well, at about 6, I start getting this horrible feeling. I kept going back and forth from my room to the living room, asking when daddy would be home, and where was he, and saying it was getting late. This feeling kept getting worse. About 9-10 pm we get a call. My godfather had had a few beers, and stood up. All the sudden he fell face first into the concrete carport. They rushed him to the hospital. He had a severe concussion as a result. My dad was all tore up about it. We didn't get home till 1 am. I finally told my mom then that i had had a really bad feeling that something was going to happen. And I was right. She told me to NEVER ignore my premonitions again.

3. This happened last week. I was reading a book that I had been dying to read. It's Before I fall by Lauren Oliver. Well, it's about how a girl gets into a car wreck and keeps living her last day over and over. From the moment I started reading it, it gave me a really weird feeling. At about halfway through the book, I stopped reading it, and when I put the book down, I was shaking. It was tearing up my nerves that bad, and giving me a bad feeling. That day, I learned that a car wreck had happened. A boy from our school hydroplaned, and hit another car that held another boy from our school's sister and her kid (I think). The guy that hydroplaned was air lifted to the hospital, and the girl and little kid died on the scene.

When I finally put 2 and 2 together, I almost lost it. Because I had a feeling somehting bad would happen and I didn't tell anyone.

4. When I was about 7 I had a dream that my Pappaw, who has asthma, and I were walking down a pier. There were boats tied up on either side, and I slipped out of his hand and started running towards a gumball machine. When I turned back, my Pappaw was gone. I ran screaming back to where I saw him last, and I saw his head bob above the water for a second. I was screaming, and trying to get to him, but I couldn't. He slipped under the water, and was gone.

My Pappaw always explained asthma to me as though you were a fish out of water. You basically suffocated. This dream still haunts me, because I believe that my Pappaw will die of an asthma attack, and I won't be able to help him. I pray this doesn't really come true.

I have a way of sensing if something's off about a person or situation. Like I've had men come up to me before, look perfectly harmless, but they totally creeped me out. So I moved away from them. Sure enough, if i watched them, they generally looked up to no good. Or if someone's sneaking up on me, I can sense it.

I don't know how to handle these things. My mom had them too, when she was younger. She dreamed of my Aunt Sue's death. Exactly how it would play out, and sure enough, my Aunt died at the age of 18 the way my mom saw she would.

What do I do??? Seek help? Talk to somebody about them?? What? I'm at a loss.

kitties

So we brought our outdoor cat, Ms. Kitty, (yes like a lyric from toby keith's song),  inside. And she's walking around growling at everything. The hall, my door, my mesh curtain, my floor, everything. It's so cute.

We're hoping she adjusts pretty quickly. Callie is dying to play with her, but Ms. Kitty doesn't want to play...

Oh well. I'll post some pics of the 2 of them later. I love them both. One thing I've noticed about Ms. Kitty is she loves attention, just like Callie, but she likes to be held too. So that's nice.

{anywhom}

Had a good day at school. Once I finish chomping down on my Wendy's fries and Dr. Pibb, I'll be busy doing mine and a friends homework.

{superman}

Sorry, I'm waiting on my best friend to get home from wrestling practice.... And that's his nickname...

At any rate...

Pictures later. Maybe of my yellow leggins??

Random

Yes. Admire my lovely legs. Not.

{giggle}

Pin curls up-do!

So I found this ahmazing hair do! It took like, 5 minutes. Well, more like ten because I decided to change it up a little.

Anyways, I stole this from Sharde. Here's the link.


Check out some of her other stuff while you're there!


 Anyways. In her version, there are a few pin curls in the front. Well, I have a rounder face, so the pin curls... ehh I didn't like them in the front. So all mine are in the back.

Side view/back view.

Front, sorry. My hairs in my face. lol

Back.

It's messy and sticking up in the back at random places, as you can tell, but hey, its supposed to be messy and I love it :) I doused it in hairspray and let the tips that popped out, stay sticking up, calming down a couple and leaving others. i think it's adorable, and very simple.


Great for if you're in a hurry.


My next task that has to do with hair? Straightening my best friends hair. Muahaha.


Duct tape will be required. Saying my best friend is a dude. And very against me straightening his hair. I think it will look good. It curls at the ends, but its silky smooth. I love it.


{Anyways}


I see to have an obsession with skirts and tights at the moment... So I ay have random pictures of that up sometime. I may wear my yellow leggins at some point. :)

Sigh

It's been a long day... But!

{Craft Area}

My craft area is set up. And already in use and messy! Yay Me!!!

Anyways... Here's a little bit of a project I was working on.. but still needs some finishing touches.

Plain messy wall I started with.

The frame I'm using.

The templates that I used for the letters.

I ended up sticking with Ally instead of my full first name... So the S was unused.

My fabric letters. Aren't they pretty?

What I have done now. It's so plain!!!

Yea.. so there it is. I was going to do several names, but I settled on a nick name my best friend gave me. Since he's the only one that calls me this, it's more unique.

I don't know what else to do with it... sooooo....

Well, I think I'm done for the night, but hey, maybe not!

Renovation

So my little "turning an area into a craft spot" idea, is taking more energy and time than I wanted to spend.

Like, to the point that I had to require my dad's help. Lovely. I'm sitting here typing away, while watching him try to hang a shelf (now 2 shelves, hehe) in my little area.

I always seem to invest myself in projects that take forever to do. I don't really know why though. it seems quite redundant after a while but, heck, I enjoy it, so I shouldn't be complaining.

He's going to wake my mother. Oh well. Hope the banging doesn't put her in one of her moods...

At any rate.

I'm not used to my dad being around me this much, so it's nice. Some quality time, even though I'm on my laptop and he's muttering to himself.

Hey! It's a level! I didn't realize we had one. Hmm.

I should probably be taking pictures....

But I'm not. So I'll take some once the shelves are put up. *Side note: My dad hates being in pictures and literally runs from the camera. Hilarious sight, but sometimes awfully annoying.

{1st shelf}

{2nd shelf}

{my little work area}

So that's what I have so far! No where near finished!!


Now off to do some dishes... Then more crafting.
