chips ahoy cake balls

Basically these are so delicious and so easy to make.Just crumble the cookies in a food processor, mix with cream cheese, and dip in melted chocolate bark! You're done! I think these are my second favorite cake balls ever. My first favorite are the red velvet, because you just can't beat those, but these are definitely next in line! So, pin this and try them later so you can experience a...

Getting new lipstick! I got bright pink, orange, and deep pink. / Catching Skully sunbathing  when she thought I wasn't looking. / Discovering Katherine literally lives a 9 minute walk from my house now. SO EXCITED! / When my teacher started playing that "It's a bird… it's a plane… it's Superman!" movie clip, except he cut it off before it said "Superman" and he said "It's SuperCurve!" and ripped...

life lately

Agh. Life. What is it, even? Ya know? Although, it turns out it's grammatically correct to say "anyway" instead of "anyways", so I apologize for all grammar nazis out there who were cringing at my constant use of the wrong term.So, I don't really know why this picture of Trixie happened. It just did. That's all the explanation I feel is needed.Low quality picture from the hotel room. Also a better...

heart day

So, I originally wasn't planning on a Valentine's Day post. I was just going to slam it into a "lately" post because school is killing me slowly. But, now I'm sitting in my American Heritage class and pretttttty bored to be honest. Like, literally this class is 2 1/2 hours long which is extra painful today! Although, the class average for the midterm was in the mid 40s… so that's making my 40% score...

Thank you for picnicking with me, traveling to new places, exploring the mountains, combing and braiding my hair at night, making cute sounds in the morning when you wake up, making cinnamon rolls on Sunday mornings, bringing Trixie in to cuddle me when I need a friend and you are busy, being a beautiful person and also pulling off facial hair so well, switching sides of the bed so we can cuddle even...

beyond glaze

Sorry always for iPhone pictures, but Saturday night we got some donuts. Are you surprised? My mom has been talking about these so much, and after she sent me a picture I was sold on their adorable-ness. So, we went and were very pleased. I got the maple and Jake got the old fashioned. In case you are wondering, yes, I did wear my pajamas there and also no bra. So, feel free to judge me for that,...

food night events + some pictures of my face

First things first, I responded to all comments made on my "real things that need to be discussed" post. Thank you to everyone who made me feel like I'm not the only one who thinks these things sometimes!Me and Katherine got crepes at Greenhouse Effect for Food Night and they were pretty good. I asked for nutella and strawberry, and they only gave me strawberry. Katherine kept telling me to go back...

1/ When I said, "Trixie you can come up here if you want" in a 100% non-dog (aka normal) voice. She got up quietly and jumped up on the bed!! / Being called outgoing by Katherine, which is something I have never heard applied to my personality before haha 2/ A driver waving a "thanks wave" at me when I let him in. I wish more people did that. 3/ Finishing my Child Development and somehow getting an...

real things that need to be discussed

Sometimes I just don't understand the blogging world. For starters, I love to make friends through blogging. In fact, I have made some of my coolest friends this way. Beverly, who is neat and has a cute baby and is also my same height which is nice. Mila, who is the same person as me. Katherine, who has been reading my blog since its very beginning, when it was full of teen angst. And Rizzio,...
