Tea, Sisters and the State Fair

I've been meaning to blog all week! Our internet went out this weekend so I'm gonna go ahead and use that as an excuse. :)

I had quite the busy week and weekend!

First up, last Wednesday my friends and I had ourselves a little tea party. It was such a fun mid-week treat!

Friday night, Melanie, Hilary and I had a fun night in. We tried on Warby Parkers, skyped with our other sister and just had fun being our silly selves.

Melanie Miscellany: My sister always has the coolist things. Not picture her iPhone..of course! ;)

I wanted a fun way to show off my different colored nails so I had Melanie bring her guitar over and show me a chord. I really do want to learn to play.

We went to the State Fair on Saturday which was so much fun! We hadn't been in about 5 years! 

 

As luck would have it, we chose a night to go that my friends were playing, Red Light Cameras. As we were walking around the midway, I said to my family, "I wonder where they're gonna be playing at?" And in that exact moment they started playing and my mom pointed, "Over there." haha. They did such a great job! Their album drops October 15th and I just can't wait! Definitely check them out. 

And that was my week and weekend! Can you believe it's almost the weekend again?! My uncle and aunt are going to be visiting from Washington so that's super exciting. We'll hopefully be hitting up the Balloon Fiesta next weekend. I can't wait!

Do you peeps have any fun plans for the weekend?

And wow..I said "weekend" a lot in this post! ...weekend.

Some things...

I've had quite the lovely weekend. My insomnia really came back with a vengeance and not a sleepy time tea, benadryl, or tylenol pm could ease it. Oh well. I guess I really do need to get my ambien scrip filled again. I just hate that I'm gonna have to pay a damn $30 co-pay to get a $10 refill. BUT, that is only a very teeny tiny annoyance as I'm beyond grateful for my health care benefits.

As is always the case with my insomnia, I am feeling extra happy and optimistic and connected and just wonderful. I feel like I can take on the world and do all the things I always say I'm gonna do and still have yet to do them. I always try and chase this insomnia high and act upon all the great ideas I think I'm having. But without fail my mood levels even out and I go back to plain ol' me that isn't so manic happy and optimistic. But we'll see, maybe this time is the time. I'm gonna try to keep on the up and up and try to pin down the things that I want to accomplish that will make my journey to my ideal happy future a reality.

Does that last sentence even make any sense? It sort of makes sense in my head, but...I can't really trust everything that I think is brilliant in my head.

What I mean to say is that I want to finally start doing all the things that will make my future more attainable. I want to take a screenwriting class, start writing down my ideas, start filming short movies with my sisters and friends in our very limited free time. I want to keep up a gym regimen to help with the happy brain endorphins that'll make me not so depressed and pessimistic. I want to do all the things that I know will make my happy.

So, here we go! Lets do this thing. :)

The lovely Jamie drew this for me. And I fell even more in love with her.

Teeny Tiny Things Sunday

Today's Teeny Tiny Things is brought to you by my lovely sister Melanie. She was snapping a few shots of baby-zilla terrorizing a teeny tiny village while I was watching Pixiwoo tutorials. (I'm seriously obsessed with them).

It was quite the busy week. Super long. So glad that it's finally the weekend! I got to spend Saturday and Sunday with my sisters and we had ourselves some good times. Today we watched Our Idiot Brother and it was so good! I wasn't expecting it to be so charming, funny and sweet. Paul Rudd was just so adorable and I of course loved the sister dynamics. Such a great little world. I would definitely love to see it again.

Tomorrow I have to drop off my sister at the airport. :( Always so sad to say goodbye. We were super lucky this summer though because of how the holidays and such fell, we got to see her every 3 weeks or so since July. And before we know it Christmas will be right around the corner and we'll all be together again!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! May the week ahead fly right by straight into the 3 day weekend! :)

Hello + Food = Yummy Blog!

Welp, its 3am and I'm wide awake. Damn you insomnia! *shakes fist in insomnias face*

I was actually doing really good for about 2 months straight. But here we are again. Instead of continuing to blow up my Twitter feed with ridiculous song lyrics, I thought it'd be better to write a blog entry.

I was looking in my photo album of recent photos for some inspiration and I decided to share some photos from my trip out east to visit my sister Angelica and her husband. My sister Melanie and I helped them move to Michigan. Funnily enough most my photos are of food! We really did eat so much food on the trip!

Mmm....food. Now I'm hungry. I could totally go for one of those waffles right now. :)

Teeny Tiny Things Sunday

Today for Teeny Tiny Things Sunday we have the super cute Baby Violin. One of my co-workers got it for me for my birthday last year. I printed out the sheet music at work--and it's actually real {shrunken} violin music too! 

I found this grassy little patch in the new spring grass. {Happy Spring by the by!} I'm so freakin' excited for the new season. Although, now we have to suffer through crazy spring winds. I am looking forward to spring showers though. I love me some rain! I even have some awesome red rain boots that I bought last spring so I'm all ready to go splashing through some rain puddles.

In other news, I reached my 400th tweet! My friend Jamie and my sister Hilary are absolutely to blame for my twitter addiction. A great way to commemorate the big event was that Hil, Mel and I asked Judd Apatow a question and he totally replied! It's ridiculous how excited we were. Like, really silly excited. We even high 5'd. {We asked him what his first compact disc was: Steely Dan}

Today looks like it's gonna be a great lazy day Sunday. The sisters and I watched some My So-Called Life and are about to start an AbFab marathon. Hope your Sunday is off to a great start!

Naranja con Cuchillo Chiquito {Orange with Tiny Knife}

Today's {Teeny Tiny Things Sunday} is brought to you by the very lovely Angelica. My super awesome sister! I was bugging her for a week straight about taking pictures for me and being the awesome sister she is, she did!

You might not realize the full extent of my teeny tiny thing love. Oh, but you will soon my friends.

I've actually been brainstorming making a little house for all the little knick-knack things I've collected. My sisters and I used to have one when we were little. It was in the shape of a little house and every time we'd go to the mall, we'd stop by the store Coach House and buy cat figurines.

So, without further ado: Naranja con Cuchillo Chiquito {Orange with Tiny Knife}

The lovely teeny tiny knife.

Stabbed in an orange cause its funny and cute. My sister said it made an equally cute stabbing sound with a lite citrus spray.

How cute is that?! Yup, I love it so. Full disclosure: I dreamed about finding a teeny tiny knife of my very own buried in an old closet. I was so excited that I had my own. Maybe that means my sister should give this to me, right? See, I knew you'd agree.

Do you want a li'l knife of your very own? Well, you're in luck cause you can purchase your very own here! Made by Philadelphia based designer Sarah Lewis. {If you happen to be in Philly, she has a new shop opening up in March!}

She has some other amazing pieces in her shop. I want them all. Especially the tiny banjo. It would go perfectly with my tiny harmonica (coming soon to a blog near you!)

Thanks for reading friends!
