you really love me?

Y'all, I really love my blog friends. They're way too sweet to me. It seriously makes my day when I wake up to emails from my new blog "pen"pals or to comments on blog posts. It makes me even more happy when someone likes me and my blog enough to nominate me for an award. Sarah from Sweet Happenings nominated me for a Sunshine Award, which I think is so sweet because there's nothing bad about sunshine, right? And my dear friend, Raewyn from Warrior Queen, nominated me for a Liebster Award. Now I know y'all probably think that's obnoxious because I've already posted about my first three {1,2&3} nominations, but I don't care, because I love it, and I love Raewyn. You should definitely go check out Sarah and Raewyn's...

fall television.

I love fall television. I've gone through phases of watching and not watching television. I've been obsessed with so many shows. I've written before that I usually like to wait until a show is cancelled or ends and then watch the entire series back-to-back. Sometimes, the shows are just too awesome, that you just have to wait an entire week to see the next episodes. I'm looking forward to so many shows this season. I'm extra excited because I actually have a regular work schedule, so I'll be able to watch them instead of catching up online later! Wahoo! How I Met Your Mother Premiered on CBS on Monday, Sept. 23rd at 7 pm (CST) {via} I spent a good chunk of the beginning of summer watching every single episode...

burn for burn {book review}

I read this book because its sequel is going to be talked about at the Austin Teen Book Festival that I'm going to TOMORROW. I wish I had enough time to read its sequel, Fire with Fire. I had heard of a few books by Jenny Han, but I hadn't read them. I hadn't heard of Siobhan Vivian before though. I'm sad that I'm not going to be able to read Fire with Fire before the panel tells me all the spoilers, but I'm sure I'll still enjoy it because I'll know all of the main characters and such. Brief Summary Burn for Burn tells the story of three girls from three different worlds with one thing in common, their thirst for revenge. Lillia is one of the popular girls. She's on the cheerleading squad and she's...

the moon and more {book review}.

Hey loves! I'm guest posting on my friend, Rachel's, blog, Sunshine and Sinatra, today. So go check it out and show her some blog love. She's seriously the one of the coolest chicas I've met in blog world. {via} The reasons I felt like I needed to read this book are 1) it was the only book I hadn't read by Sarah Dessen, so duh, I needed to read it, and 2) it's the book she'll be talking about at the Austin Teen Book Festival that I'm going to next weekend. I didn't want anything to be spoiled on the panel, so I decided to make sure I read it before I go to the festival. Quick summary The Moon and More follows the main character, Emaline, throughout her summer on the beach where she lives year-round....

ch-ch-changes.

So, on Friday, I mentioned that I had some exciting news. Trust me, this is much more exciting for me than it will be for all of you, but I'm still excited to share. I'm moving out of my parents' house. Holla! My friend, Amanda's, roommate moved out, and she asked me to move in with her. Roomies! I jumped at the chance because I know we'll be good roommates (we've been friends for 9 years, y'all), and the rent is so cheap compared to all of the places I looked at getting on my own. Plus she has a cute puppy named Tosh. I spent the whole weekend moving into my new place. Sister helped me on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, my friend, Justin, and his friend helped move my couches and desk and some boxes that...

10 favorite disney channel original movies.

I didn't get Disney Channel until I moved back to the U.S. when I was eight. I lived my whole life watching Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, and I had no idea what I was missing! I watched Disney Channel up until the shows started getting dumb (I mean, I was getting older). I thought that Disney Channel movies weren't up to par with what they were when I was younger. I really hate that some Disney Channel Original Movies are gone forever because they aren't sold on DVD. Depressed. Luckily, some play on Disney (super late at night) or you can purchase on eBay. Some of my favorite Disney Channel Original Movies: {1//2//3//4//5//6//7//8//9//10} Tru Confessions: Well, I already loved Shia, so I figured I would...

my first snail mail collective.

Sorry this is coming at y'all a little late, but I finally got my package for my first Snail Mail Collective, and I'm so excited to share it. Unfortunately, the package I sent to my partner is currently lost in the mail somewhere. Dang USPS. Anyway, I was partnered with Kelsey from April Sprinkles. I loved getting to know her via email, and even though August has come and gone, we still chat, which I love. Like I've said a million times, my favorite part about blogging is connecting with people on a more personal level than commenting on each other's pages. When you can make a connection with a stranger and become friends, that's so special. I'm so glad that I got paired with Kelsey this month. She is aca-awesome! What...

ESFJ, baybay.

Participating in Blogtember today with Jenni from Story of My Life. I've taken this personality test many a times, and I always come up with the same results: ESFJ, and I'm proud to be one, y'all! Most people would say I'm pretty extroverted. I'm pretty hyper (especially after a few marshmallows). I love meeting new people, but sometimes my introverted side shows at the initial meeting. After a few minutes of conversation (or a few glasses of wine), it'll be like we're old friends. According to Joe Butt (the person who wrote up all this info here with an unfortunate name), ESFJs show a large range of emotions in a short amount of time (see? The only reason I'm emotional is because it's embedded into my personality!...
