WIWW {7}

Today I'm linking up with Lindsey for WIWW {What I Wore Wednesday}. Initially, it was started to keep Lindsey accountable and wear things {real clothes! gasp!} other than yoga pants and sweatshirts. Now it's blossomed into over 150+ bloggers joining in and sharing fashion tips/tricks for other WIWW particpants. 
All the cool kids are doing it. GussyLisa LeonardKimMoriah, and Lindsey herself. I'm not one to buckle under the peer pressure, but I've jumped on the bandwagon. I think it's a great way to show you guys what I wear...without having to wear skirts for a week.


After a 2 week hiatus, I'm back, readers!! And let me tell you, I'm kinda excited about that. :)

chemistry celebration!!

**UPDATE** As of today {Wed}, Clark and I went back to Mickey D's and got a frappe. Imma gonna get used to these weekly Frappe runs... ;)

If you've been a frequent reader on ye ol' blog, you've probably surmised that chemistry & I are mortal enemies. Like, for serious. You can imagine my growing anticipation when I was completing the last module {plus a test that I somehow failed to complete}, and that final sense of accomplishment was all I needed to finish strong. Mama and Dad never pressured me into thinking I had to get a certain grade, and quite frankly I didn't care what I got, especially since it was a honors course {gasp!} and I could bump it up a grade by calling it a regular course. And, since you're dying to know, I got a B which translates into an A!! ::squeal::

Like any good student, I chucked gently arranged the textbook/notebook in the cabinet and immediately made plans to go get a Frappe from McDonald's, which oddly enough is what we did last year!! {Click HERE to go back in time}







Ohmygoodness, heaven in a cup.


McCafe, I heart you. The people that work there? Not so much, but I'm always happy when I have you in my hands. Cheesy, I know, but these things are so.good. Just saying.


I was also able to catch up on some blogs AND write the bajillion blog posts that needed to be backtracked. It made me feel so professional to sit with a coffee {flavored} drink and write out blog post. So, I took a picture of the set up. I mean, duh!


{Shout out to Linsday's blog. Holla!}

Happy Tuesday, readers!

blogging break week {Sat. to Tues}

Sooo...you've probably wondered what I did all week while I was on my Lent/blogging break. To be honest, school was the main thing, but hey: life isn't glamourous all.the.time. ::nodding head while sitting in yoga pants and a tank top with a hole in it:: ;) 

For those times I wasn't sitting around filled my head with useless knowledge {cough cough, geometric proofs cough cough} I got out and hung around with my peeps. 

{Saturday 4.16}

Bright blue skies in the morning and this in the afternoon...



Omnious, huh? I don't get serious on the blog often, but watch out because I'm not fooling around... The worst tornados since '84 struck Eastern NC on that Saturday afternoon. I've always watched the reports come rolling in and never thought twice, but a tornado between the 3 miles that separate us from our town is too much. To God be the glory for keeping me and my loved ones {family AND friends} safe. I actually manage to quit my dance party {I do strange things when scared/tired} and take a picture of the actual tornado. The light part on either side of the tree is the sky, while the big block is the tornado heading to the next county. Freaky.






This was the picture of the afternoon: TV on tuned into the local news, Clark generally being a weirdo and me taking pictures of it all.


After the danger/storms were over, we headed into our town to survey the damage {and there was a lot}. We walked outside and saw this: blue skies, the same way the day started.



{Sunday 4.17}

After church on Sunday, we headed over Tripps for a birthday lunch compliments of Gran Jan. Yummy in my tummy! :)


 Because Dr. Pepper is awesome and the lighting was just too irresistible! ;)


OMG, the muffins. I didn't personally eat one, but man, they were pretty...



 Dad and his awesome Mama:


Mama, Clark and I were bench buddies...


Dad's salad...

Mama and I split the chicken platter; yummy in my tummy 2x!



Clark and his HUGE sandwich. And, as unbelievable as it sounds, he ate it all. Growth spurt? I think so.


The day concluded with reading outside, WOL/ACTS, and generally happiness. Winning!

{Monday 4.18}

Monday, Monday... Not much was going on that day lots of schoolwork and lots of Twitter stalking to see what my blogging friends were up to. ;)

{Tuesday 4.19}

As I've mentioned before, every other Tues. I go hang with the Harvins; this week was no exception. I love love love this family, and Miss Beth and I worked worked worked on crafts for CBS next year. As a reward for doing 5 crafts at a time, we usually have tea parties and goodies from the Fresh Market. Good times. 





Lately the skies have been blue and the warm filled with pollen, so we venture outside because it's warm out. And we ride bikes in our PJ's, because that's how we roll.



We also have picinics in the front yard complete with cheddar bunnies and peanut butter/honey/butter sandwiches. 




The hair. THE HAIR. It kills me each and every time I see these pictures.











Happy Tuesday, readers! Part 2 of blogging break is coming up later this week...
