Le Week-end

So, since I had Friday off from school, you would think I would have slept in, right? No. I swear I can't sleep past 9 in the morning anymore, even on weekends. The only thing that interested me yesterday was the new episode of Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders: Making the Team 5. Now, I absolutely love this show! I wish a new episode came on more than once a week, it is so strangely addicting. All of those girls are like toothpicks! I also made time in my not so busy schedule to make some cupcakes that I've been meaning to make since last Thursday. They are so cute! Cupcakes are like my favorite things in the world. So I made funfetti cupcakes with vanilla frosting and colorful sprinkles. It was almost a disaster though, because an egg yolk accidentally slid in to the mix. I ended up getting the yolk out with a spoon, and I must have been a tad absent-minded at the moment, because I put the yolk back in the shell and put the shell back in to the carton. This resulted in egg yolk going everywhere in the carton, and it wasn't exactly the easiest thing in the world to clean up. Well, apart from my near cupcake fiasco from almost ruining the mix with a yolk, they turned out pretty decent. 

Anyways, so now I'm at my grandmother's once again, supposed to be doing a Government project, but blogging is so much more intriguing than Modern Conservatism and the Republican Party from 1952-Present. It's one of those group projects where you know if anything is going to get done, you'll have to do it yourself. I'm waiting on my grandma to make good old breakfast for dinner. It is my absolute favorite! She's slow cooking grits and sausage, along with some scrambled eggs and toast. Isn't my life so exciting y'all? I really need some motivation for doing this project of mine, but it's just not happening. I have this grand idea for the poster. I want to make it really cute, but not too cute because unfortunately my two other partners are guys. So, I guess I will just have to stick to a really clean design, but I think glitter will somehow manage to make its way on to the board. I'll definitely have to post a picture of it when it gets done because knowing me, I'll spend entirely too much time on it perfecting it.

And as for tomorrow...well what would be a southern Sunday without church? Of course I'm going. I guess that just goes along with living in the Bible Belt, as my Government teacher would say. 

Right now I'm watching Florida and Georgia in overtime, though I'm not a fan of either team. Clemson all the way, even though they're not as good as they have been in the past. And I'm seeing way too many political advertisements during the duration of this game. Which wouldn't be too bad if every commercial wasn't slamming another politician, it's dirty tactics, and quite frankly annoying in my opinion...AND FLORIDA WINS. 34-31 final over Georgia in overtime.


And just a random thought, but South Carolina's weather has not been very fall like, y'all. It's been really hot and humid, and raining tons. All the dreariness of the weather has made me want a Lilly Pulitzer umbrella. 

How cute is it? It's $28.95 on Lilly Pulitzer's website, which is a pretty penny in my opinion for an umbrella, but I would buy it. It's super colorful, and would brighten any gloomy day. Fall's colors are just way too dull for me anyways. So I'm on the look for some cute Fall clothes that will brighten the hallways at school. I'd honestly love to have a few pieces from Lilly Pulitzer, but the high prices are a tad unreasonable for me. So I will have to scope out colorful clothes at bargain prices for the moment, and I'll let you know how that search goes.


Anyways, I'm super excited because I went to a local store in my town on Tuesday, which sells some of the cutest things ever. My eyes immediately went to a hot pink suitcase with lime green polka dots, and a lime green bow. Imagine my excitement! And it was on sale, too! I do believe that I will probably be getting this monogrammed for Christmas. I'm so happy! I don't even know what I will do with a suitcase, since I don't travel much, but it sure will brighten up my room with its adorableness.


I suppose I should probably stop procrastinating and work on this project. Bleh, project. Just that word sounds like such a drag. Projects drain the fun out of everything. But, it has to be done. 


XOXO,
