Sunday Confessions

I haven't done a Sunday Confessions post in what seems like forever. I feel like it needs to be some deep, dark, dirty secrets, or something. I'm just going to wing it, so it probably won't be. If you're new to this feature, it's a fun way to learn some interesting facts about me and possibly find some cute things along the way, like my first confession this week!

1. I think VW camper vans are so cool!
I know I'm mentioned that I love these camper vans on the blog before, here and here but I think I would be able to settle for spending a night (or 2) in this cute tent! Yep, look again, that's not an actual VW van, it's a tent. How awesome is that! I totally dig it! The actual things are so much cooler, but what are you gonna do! 


2. I was on our high school color guard team.
You know the girls that wave and dance those huge flags around at the football games. It was my senior year and it was so short lived that I don't think I even have pictures of the us. It was the first year our school started it, and we practiced and practiced to make the team. I was never peppy enough or confident enough to be a cheerleader but for flag I put myself out there. Sad fact is I never actually got to finish the season. I had to give it up the summer I went to an art program at Savannah College of Art and Design. I sincerely thought I would end up going to that art college. Even thought I was accepted, I couldn't afford it, didn't get a scholarship and was terrified of the huge loans I would have when done (private school), so I didn't end up going. It would have been photography, obviously. Senior year was a bummer, no color guard and no art college. I can still remember the routine though. It was the song American Woman by Lenny Kravitz.


3. I love grilled hot dogs and I'm weird with my condiments.
Seriously, addicting. I craved them every night when I was pregnant with Ariana. When I make a hot dog, I always try to make it perfect like the picture above. I don't freak out if it gets messed up, but I always put a zig zag of mustard down the middle, and usually a line of ketchup down each side of the hot dog. It's weird, but I think it makes it taste better.


4. I've had a lot of pets. 
I'm a total animal lover. In my life I've had (and by had, I mean I technically called them mine, not my sisters, and not my family pets) 
3 dogs (Susie, Harley, Paco- even though he's more of a family pet)
9 cats (Sabrina, Monica, Tucker, Binky, Julius, Malcom, Jo-Jo, Kylie, & Ely), 
1 hamster (Chip), 
2 rabbits (Lucky & Beatrix), 
1 squirrel (Sammy), 
1 gerbil (Mikey),
1 hermit crab, and lots of fish. Not including the temporary turtles and frogs we were always housing.


5. I've actually written a children's story. 
I wrote it when I was only just a child myself, I was probably 12 or 13. It's about a leprechaun. I want to get it published one day. I would actually love to write a few more. I should. I will.


So there you have it. Five random confessions about me today. 
Do you have anything you want to confess?! :)

Sunday Confessions



Purple gray yellow

1. COLOR COMBO. I just created my first ever Polyvore! I currently am in love with yellow and gray with a splash of purple. I wish I could do our guest bedroom in these colors. I want to redo my entire house. Too bad I change my mind about what colors I like. LOVING this color combo right now though. It's actually the inspiration for my newest painting I'm working on.

2. STUDIO. I have a nice area upstairs to be my studio, yet for some reason I'm drawn to the guest room. I've now moved most of my paints and sewing supplies down into the guest room. Miscellaneous craft materials and blank canvases are being stored upstairs. This drives my husband crazy. I'm all over the place! My studio/guest room is a complete wreck by the way. I should go clean up.

3. TRAVEL. Rich has a 4 day weekend. We were going to take a little vacation this weekend but Ariana is sick with a cold, so we stayed home. Berlin would have been nice maybe.

4. WINNER. My Carnation Pink photo was chosen as a weekly favorite on Project 64. Yay me!! This is such a fun project. I'm looking into becoming a sponsor over there so if you're a monthly winner, you can get some free goodies from me!

5. NERD ALERT. My husband and I love to play hangman. We usually always play on the weekends during lunch. We've been singing the Alphabet with Ariana a lot lately. Well, mostly we've been singing and she's been listening, but that's been paying off because today when Richard guessed the letter "L" during our hangman game, Ariana said "L...M N O P.....Q R S.....T U V.....W X Y & Z" We were TOTALLY SHOCKED!!! Hurray Ariana!

Sunday Confessions

~Sunday Confessions~

A non-photo post. 
Why??
Cause, I feel like it.

..................................

1. Trash TV. Sometimes there is nothing better than watching some trash TV. This week I've been watching me some Temptation Island. Found it on Hulu and indulged.

2. I'm totally addicted to Red Hots. Those little fiery candies, I love them! I eat them a handful at a time.

3. I'm currently waiting on 9 (yep, 9) packages to arrive to my P.O. box. Hey, Halloween, Ariana's birthday, and Christmas/Hanukkah are right around the corner. So I'm getting prepared, and you have the fact that some things in the same order are being shipped separately. Oh, and my Momma loves us haha!!

4. Twitter kind of annoys me. I used to try to update and read all the updates all the time. But, since I've moved, I've pretty much given up trying to keep up. I rarely get on anymore, and when I do all I do is post about my blog. It's just too time consuming to me.

AND THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE
5. I want a new camera. Really bad. Don't get me wrong, I like my little camera. I just want something more substantial. Currently I take all my photography seen on my blog with my Canon Power Shot A610. 
I know, right!?!

Sunday Confessions are BACK!!!

That's right, I'm bringing Sunday Confessions back!!

This used to be a regular post on my blog, but I got burnt out on it. For the rest of 2010 I hope to continue my Sunday Confessions posts. That's 10 more editions of Sunday Confessions (or 50 quirks, likes, and dislikes about yours truly). 

1. I used to collect pigs. 
Not real pigs, although I've always wanted one!
It started with Piglet (and I'm not even really a Winnie the Pooh fan) and went from there. In 7th grade I cried because we had to read a book call "A Day No Pigs Would Die". Mostly it was figurines but I had some funky things like a pig roll the pig (like dice) game!

 I don't collect them anymore, but I still find them irresistibly cute!


2. I know I've mentioned it before on my blog, but I would L-O-V-E to own one of these (VW camper vans) 
I would totally name mine and crochet a granny square blanket and sew some cute pillows to throw in there for snuggling. I would drive it all around Germany, France, Italy and anywhere else I wanted to travel. It would be a dream vacation!


3. I love me some sushi! 
I could probably eat it every day! If only I had money to eat out everyday...or a good sushi place around here for that matter. We haven't found one yet.


4. Clawfoot bathtub.
I want one.  
I love taking my book and having a good soak in some luxurious bubbles. A glass of wine is nice too. It's my best thinking place. It's my quick stress reliever.



5. Kai Lan.
She has stolen my heart!
I love her show, Ni hao, Kai Lan. I don't like many kids shows (they're not like they used to be) but, I watch this with Ariana!


I love coming up with things to confess, but sometimes it can be trying.

If there is anything you want to know about me, post it as a comment and maybe you'll see it in a later edition of Sunday Confessions!

I'm off to a birthday party, whoo hoo for making new friends!!!

Sunday Confessions & Cupcake

Happy 4th of July everyone! 

Before I get into my Sunday Confessions, I wanted to post pics of Ariana from today. I bought this outfit last June. I was glad to see that it fit her!




~Sunday Confessions~

1. I dream of being a wedding planner.
 *source*
This will probably always be a dream. Being a military family, we move too much for me to feel comfortable learning all the florist/bakeries/photographers etc. to feel I could really do my job. I've always loved planning parties and putting all the little details together and see it all come together on the final day. I think weddings are in my blood. My paternal grandmother owned a florist and bridal shop, as well as catered and provided video for the wedding day. My mother also owned 2 bridal shops and now directs weddings in her free time! Maybe one day :)


2. I've never been able to do the moonwalk.


3. I'm a Real World addict.
*source*
It all started with Real World Cancun 2 seasons ago.

4. I collect Me to You bear figurines
 My husband started this collection the first Christmas we were married when we lived in England.


5. I'm a CK Summer Camper!
Katie from Punk Projects mentioned this in her blog. It's free so I thought I would join the fun!!
You can sign up for camp here.

Sunday Confessions & Cupcake

I realize it's been a while FOREVER since my last Sunday Confessions/Cupcake of the Week post. I thought it was time to do another one!

1. I have a bad habit.
I have a bad habit of twisting my hair. I try not to do it all the time but I do find myself doing it when I'm watching tv or sitting at a red light or simply thinking about things. It annoys my family.



2. I heart NYC!
In my "tag you're it" survey post, I asked my tagged readers if they would rather live in NYC or LA? I would rather live in NYC!!! (I think)

*source*

I've never been to either city so I don't really know for sure but just going on instict I think I'd rather live in NYC! Something about that city just draws me to it.


3. I love my French press!
It's the best way to drink coffee! Ever since I tried it I've been hooked! I love it :)




4. I hate carrots!
I'll eat pretty much anything and I'm very open to trying new foods. Carrots however are yuck! I've tried them all different ways and nope, still don't like them. I've always tried to eat them especially when I was little because, "they are good for your eyesight". Well, I wear glasses so either they aren't that good for your eyesight or maybe they are and I'd be blinder than a bat if I didn't eating as many as I did! I avoid them whenever I can.

 *source*

On the other hand I love carrot cake! Yums!!

*source*

5. Winter Vacation in an igloo!
 I would LOVE, seriously LOVE a vacation to Lapland in Sweden and stay in an ice igloo!

 *source*

 *source*

See the Northern Lights!

*source*

Take dog sledding lessons!

 *source*

Ice sculpting, snowshoeing, skiing, reindeer rides, and hot cocoa! Sound like it would be so much fun!!
Sigh, maybe one day!

Sunday Confessions & Starbucks Cupcake!

~Sunday Confessions~

1. I think birthday parties just aren't as fun without balloons!
Yesterday I went to a birthday party for a 3 year old! Yep, balloons, I knew the party was going to be fun! It was so cute to see all the kids running around playing. I think there was more kids there than adults! Three year olds are soo funny. I can't wait for Ariana to get that age. Some of those kids said the cutest things! Balloons bring an extra magic to a party!



2. I hate taking pills.
I really can't stand taking pills. Firstly I have to be in serious pain for me to take medication for it. Secondly, I can't have anybody watch me. It makes me nervous and I get scared that I'm going to choke. Thirdly, even though I can't have anyone watching me, I prefer to have someone there. Just in case I start choking then they can save me!


3. I can hardly wait to have a second baby!
I LOOOVVEEE this picture! How sweet is this!?!?!

4. I would love to have a darkroom one day. 
Photography is great, but there is nothing like developing your own pictures. I seriously love it! FOR SURE, when I win the lottery!



5. I know someone who thinks these words should be in their wedding vows, and I think it's awesome!!



AND......
Cupcake of the Week:
Starbucks coffee cupcakes!
YUM!!!!

Sunday Confessions (Teenybopper crushes!)

~Sunday Confessions~

Crushes!!

I was reminiscing the other day with my sister of who all I used to be in LOOOVVE with (hehe), when I was a teenybopper. I thought it would be a good idea for a Sunday Confessions post. Without further ado... here are my were crushes!

1. Taylor Hanson
Mmmbop!! I was obsessed with him. I just thought he was the coolest thing ever (he was a rock star in my eyes!) and I had all their songs memorized by heart, I sang them everyday! I wanted to marry him. I used to love reading about him in Tiger Beat and Teen Bop magazine...ahhh the days!

 


2. JTT (that's Jonathon Taylor Thomas if you didn't know lol, Home Improvement)
He was on the first poster I ever bought! I loved his voice and thought he was cute and funny. I watched Home Improvement just to see him. I even wrote him a fan letter, of course he never wrote me back. I loved his voice!



3. Leonardo DiCaprio (Romeo & Juliet, and Titanic)
Such a romantic, he stole my heart. I would have died to be Juliet or Rose!! I even had a book all about him with pictures and stuff. I shared this crush with one of my middle school friends, Elizabeth.



4. John Stamos (Uncle Jessie, Full House) HAVE MERCY!
Bad boy turned sweet, yes please!



5. Mario Lopez (AC Slater, Saved by the Bell)
I was a Slater girl for sure! Of course I liked Zach and Kelly, but there was something about that dimple that made me swoon!


Ahhh this was fun!! Who did you have a crush on when you were a teen?

Cat
