a little looksy.

well fellow bloggers, followers, and friends, the SAT is done, over, forever (if i got an agreeable score). what does this mean?? more blogging time, of course! :) i've missed you guys! in case you're interested...which you may not be...here's a little looksy at what i've been up to:

school, school, and...oh yes...school. will it every end?!

giving and receiving thank-you notes. i kind of love snail mail. it's the best.

MUSIC MAN!!! i am loving this show and the amazing cast. each rehearsal is SUCH fun.

eating. a lot. i am in love with food. too bad i'm kind of on a diet. kind of. not really.

and wishing my niece baby piper a happy uno! isn't she a doll?! oi. 

well dearies. tomorrow i'm taking a very special test. the test you dream of taking all your life...happens about when you turn 16. and though i've been 16 for quite a while....i'm taking the test tomorrow. i must admit i'm dreadfully nervous. i'll let you know how it goes!! :)

i've missed y'all... :D

5 very extremely happy things :)

heylo! haven't been on lately...but i've been finding some pretty awesome stuff on tumblr and pintrest that i just HAD to share!! :) 

okay so you know i love stripes right? how about a black and white striped room?! next time i have the opportunity to paint a room...this is what it's going to look like!! :)

these are awesome hangers. yes they are. what a neat-o DIY project!! if i ever had my own store the clothes would definitely be on cool hangers like these.

i really want to learn how this was done. any ideas??

so apparently the whole "menswear" is totally in fashion this season. i think this girl is rockin' the look. LOVE :)

and i shall leave you with this yummy delicious dessert. cookies and creme cheesecake cupcakes. did anything every sound better than that? nope? that's what i thought.

p.s. my dear friends. i've been unable to do a lot of posting lately. if you want to keep in touch you can follow me on twitter. i post several times a day. i hope you are all well and good! hoping to get back in the groove of posting after the SAT on saturday. pray for me!! :)

because i love pumpkin that much.

i went to the store and bought three cans of pumpkin puree. 

don't judge me. 

pumpkin is just my favorite.

and so i found a pumpkin parfait recipe on my new favorite recipe site and thought i'd try it out. 

don't tell me that doesn't look delish.

would those just be the coolest desserts to serve at a party!? talk about original.

my note: i didn't quite like the gingersnap cookies (they're just not my favorite). i'm thinking some vanilla or chocolate wafers would have been YUMMERS. also make sure you have a good ration of pumpkin and cream (like 2:1)...too much cream makes it...well...too creamy. also. i had some leftover ones in the fridge and ate one the next day. i liked it even better because the cookies were completely gooey and everything was just lovely. if you like your cookies hard...only let them sit a few hours.

anyways. let me know if you make them! i thought they were delish. next up...pumpkin creme pie. yesssss!

party in the kitchen :o)

last night mom and dad were at a meeting, so michelle and i decided to finally bake our christmas cookies. even though christmas is over. she started asked if she could even wear an apron. haha. she gets really excited about these sorts of things. 

and then she started pretending we were maids...baking cookies for the king and queen. and she'd go into the living room and tell them the cookies were almost ready. it was pretty cute.

i also got to wear my new apron for the first time! my friend morgan made it for me for christmas...fashioned after the anthropologie one (pictured below). i think she did an AMAZING job. the only problem was, i didn't want to get it dirty so i started wiping my hands on michelle's apron. defeating the purpose of wearing my own apron in the first place! :)

i love nights like these SO much :) and the end result is always very delish!

let's play pretend.

yesterday i pretended...

...i didn't squeal when i found "timeline" for five dollars.

...to ignore the creepy college people in the coffee store.

...the automatic paper towel dispenser didn't really startle me.

...i didn't blush during the romeo and juliet balcony scene at a shakespeare workshop.

...to have no inhibitions when playing a strange version of red light, green light.

...i wasn't embarrassed to be looking through someone's house at an estate sale.

...it wasn't the third time in one week i've eaten at chickfila.

today i pretended...

...the girl in the yellow coat jumping up and down and squealing because the snow started falling...wasn't me...ahem...

beautiful drinks, books, skies, and stores.

okay...since when are gingerbread white mochas art?! soooo coooool!!!

antiquing today...i kind of LOVE old books...alot.

my favorite kind of sky...

the apple store is a magical place.

little sisters are pretty awesome.

pretty sure my little sister is awesome. even if she does give strange compliments:

"rebecca, you have eyes like a giraffe."

i mean...sometimes it's hard to know how to respond to those kind of compliments....

"umm...thanks...?"
