I Have Accomplished Something Prestigious // Liebster Nominee Vlog

I'm currently blogging from school because being here at all is a shock to my system and I need some help getting through it.  We got buried under 16.7 inches of snow overnight on Sunday around these parts, and it was gorgeous in that it looked really good and it bought me two extra days of weekend.  The only problem now is that I'm addicted to weekend and the withdrawal symptoms are hitting me hard. 

What feels like decades ago now (AKA, Friday night), Allison from Something Beautiful and I realized that we had both been nominated for the Liebster award by Adora from Halcyon Bound and that we could use that as an excuse to have a sleepover under the pretext of doing something in the way of accepting said award.  (We may have spent the majority of the time singing Maroon 5 to her cats and watching Friends. ) After a few hours of dancing, salmon cheffing (because we're classy), and general partying, we set up Allison's fancy camera on top of a pile of books and cookie boxes (because, again, classy) and tried really hard to answer Adora's questions.

If you skipped the video (your loss - it has cats and original art) or just missed something, we nominate you for the Liebster Award.  (As long as you qualify - if your blog has more than 200 followers, thank you for stopping by but please go do bigger and better things.)  Here are our questions.

1. Do you have a weird phobia? If so, do share!

2. What's your best blogging tip?

3. Where is your favorite place to be?

4.  List five of your favorites (song, flavor, music, animal . . . whatever you want!)

5.  If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

6.  What's the best job you've ever had?

7.  If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

8.  What is your youngest memory?

9.  How do you like to spend your downtime?

10.  If you could visit any time period, past or future, which would you choose?

11.  If you could be any age, which would it be and why?

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to answer these in whatever blog-able form you choose, post it, write eleven new questions, and choose some of your favorite bloggers to nominate (or use our cop-out nominee selection process).  Oh, and don't forget to stop by and let us know that you did it so that we can learn all about your fear of clowns, how much you love mint chocolate chip ice cream, and how you want to be eighty-seven forever.

Have fun!

You Guys, I Have An Accent // A Vlog

As you may have noticed, it's August today, which means that I missed my chance at free prints from Snapfish, my birthday is in ten days, and Blog Everyday in July is over.  

But it's not.  Juliette, Allie, and Faith kindly joined a new host, Lindsay from The Wife in Training (which, by the way, is so funny. Check it out!)  They wanted to hear our accents, so they added one last link up topic for today, asking us to answer a bunch of questions and say a some words. 

                                           

 Call me crazy, but I honestly don't think I have an accent - at most, I just sound kind of nasaly from time to time.  Midwest accents are not charming. Well, maybe they are!  Maybe you people from Texas and the Carolinas love the sound of a good northern accent just as much as I love the southern kind! I'll let you make that judgement for yourself.  (Drumroll please.) Please enjoy my second . . . everrrrr . . . VLOG!

I repeat, thanks for watching!  Just to keep it real . . . you should know that I literally had to clear out a hole in the clothes and general clutter that usually covers the floor of my room in order to film this.  I had my laptop set up on a laundry basket and I sat in the barely butt-sized hole that I had cleaned, just for this occasion. Also, I put on a bunch of makeup and a real shirt for your sake, but that's as far as I was willing to go.  In fact, I'm pretty sure I was either wearing pajama pants or none at all for the majority of this vlog.

So, yeah.  Not a professional.  I'm working on it.

Later, skater!

Say What You Need To Say // A Not Entirely Unhateful Letter To P90X

It's Letter to an Inanimate Object day at #BEIJ, and I decided that you all probably wanted to hear me read my letter in person because it's more heartfelt that way.  Enjoy! (P.S. in case you're not in a video watching mood, in a library without headphones, or in the living room with your parents and are afraid that I'm going to say something inappropriate, I printed it below!)

Dear P90X,

Okay, first of all, why is that even your name?  I get
