They Tried Everything, But It Was No Use

Hello world. [: These past few days have been pretty unevenful. I spent my days working, going home to sleep, then working some more. I never have much time to myself to do as I'd actually enjoy. But that's okay with me, since its helping me accomplish my goal of going back to Florida to visit my friends. So I'm willing to work as much as I need to. I am pretty excited for my day off tomorrow. I'll finally get a good night's sleep and hopefulyyy go to a park. Pray it doesn't rain!

I don't think I've said this yet, but I work at Ann Taylor Loft, so my eye for style has been increasing dramatically. I've always loved fashion (I'm obsessed with Project Runway. Christian Siriano is my favorite ❤), but what I actually wore never really reflected that. And now since I'm actually having to dress up for work, I'm starting to fall in love with clothes. Once I save up for a camera, you will see a few of my favorite outfits. [: But for now, I will leave you with some of my Polyvore creations. I'm pretty obsessed with that website too.

I'm pretty excited for Spring...


I'm a sucker for turquoise.


Till next time...

Mr. Owl Ate My Metal Worm

Do you ever miss the way things used to be? The friends you had, and all the good times you shared. Somehow, things didn't seem that difficult. You could conquer the world if you wanted, and nothing could stop you. For me, those times were only four short years ago. But in all honesty, it feels like an eternity has gone by. Its amazing how fast time passes by. We live our days in a routine then suddenly, BOOM. Ten years have come and gone. Things can change so quickly, but we have to adapt the best way we can. It is, of course, human nature. Sometimes, I wish I could just go back. Hang out with the best friends from my youth, spending our days on the shores of Anna Maria Island and roaming the spaces of suburbia. I just want to laugh again, no weight on my shoulders and nothing to hold me back. I'm sorry, this is turning into a pathetic sob story of my nostalgia. But sometimes I start to think about these things and it really gets me down. I think its because of the weather lately. Its always so gloomy and cold. I really wish the sun would come out more. But this is Vampire Country, after all. What Twilight character wouldn't want to live here? "Come on, Come all! Rain and clouds all day, every day! If you like sucking blood and luring high school girls, this is the place for you!" Come to think of it, maybe that's why so many serial killers come from here. They're really just vampires...

Hah, I'm being strange now. Maybe its time I go, to leave you to ponder these thoughts that haunt my mind. Enjoy your days or nights, where ever you may be.

Back in the day...

Remember Me As A Time Of Day

Today has been a lazy day. The rain has fallen lightly all day and I've been wrapped in a blanket watching the Travel Channel. Why is it that whenever it rains, I feel like making something sweet? Whatever the reason may be, that's exactly what I did. I found this recipe for funfetti cookies last night while scanning Pinterest. Its super fast and easy and totally delicious. I hope its sunny where ever you may be. Happy Spring!

Funfetti Cake Batter Cookies

The ingredients:

1 box vanilla cake mix

1 tsp. baking powder

2 eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 cup color sprinkles

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix together cake mix and baking powder. In a small bowl, mix eggs, oil, and vanilla. Add egg mixture to cake mix and stir. Thoroughly stir in sprinkles (I found it easier to roll up my sleeves and mix in the sprinkles with my hands. I do warn you though, the batter is quite sticky). Drop by spoonfuls on cookie sheets sprayed with a non-stick spray. Bake 10 minutes and allow to cool.

Anddd, the finished product...

This recipe made about 18 large cookies. I think next time I may either double the recipe, or just make smaller cookies. Large cookies are fun though. [:

Metaphor For A Missing Moment

How to go about starting my first blog...

Should I tell you my life story, or should I leave that to your imagination and let you figure out who am for yourselves? I'm not really one to write about my life as if its a story, so I'll leave it up to you. Lets see how much you get to know me, shall we? ☮ & ❤
