just think

Read this book. Yes you, right now. Alright first I'll tell you some about it. [warning it's a, yes, love story] Well this book will make you laugh, you will be sad at times and happy at others you might even cry. It also has inspired me to be a better person, maybe it will you to... The main girl is named Jamie, she is someone i wish i could be more like,she's sweet and doesn't care at all what others think. Did you hear that? Yes, AMAZING. Now how many teenagers you know can you say that about. Right now your probably saying "it's a book, she's not real" but whatever. I should also tell you that girls will most likely enjoy this more than guys.














How is it that Nicholas Sparks writes so many awesome love story's and they all turn into awesome movies

• The Notebook
• A walk to remember
• Dear John
• The last song
• ... i might be forgetting some

it feels like summer

I'm so happy it feels like is summer, yesterday I got my first sunburn

Now I usually don't get excited over something like that but, hey, it means we're closer to pool partys, tennis, biking, bonfires and all that good stuff :)

Summer inspirational's

Prom

I loved the movie prom! It was amazing, I really liked the decorations for the prom like this fountain:

It looks so magical! 

this part was so cute, I love all the creative ways guys ask girls to prom,

 it makes it so much more special. *smile*

Flowers

So here I am, still wishing and waiting for *spring* technically it's here, uh, yeah right ;)
 The snow is gone though, thanks to my summer post! [hm, I better start planning some pool parties, incase this keeps up]  I also wanted to mention I recently brought my fahion blog back to life, so if you haven't got a chance yet you should really check it out.

Black and White

dear snow -

 will you please take a spring/summer break? this weather is so funny right now, one day I finally think it's spring! then it snows... then melts! then snows again... yay (not) so I'm boycotting the snow. I'm hoping that if I keep reminding it how much better summer is and focus on summer it will go away. hopefully. 

maybe some summer pictures form last year will frighten the snow into melting... for good (mwahahaha)

 

 Now I know rock beach doesn't look as sunny but it's still t-shirt weather!

That should do it, 

 if this doesn't scare away this dreadful weather,

 I don't know what will!

Marvelous Monday's

 Marvelous-ness is...

1) it's summer 2) I'm tubing! 3) it's at one of my favorite places 4) it's a pretty picture

Hmmm, now whats 'marvelous'???

These flowers, ah, they remind me that spring is here! {ahem} should, be here.It's 34 degrees outside, AND sunny, so I guess it's pretty nice... not helping my point ;)



This book I'm currently reading, is delightfull. It's about a girl who starts a dress shop in a small town, J.T. Tucker does not at all like the idea of her being there - he thinks dress shops are sinfull and tempting to women, a stumbling block in they're road - but, maybe he's wrong? 

Also if you liked this book you may like:

French + Blog

Hello! I was sort of bored so I changed my dashbored {now it's Tableau de bord} to french...that's me completely random and weird. But hey, aren't we all at times?

Blog:
So for those of you who didn't know I started off with a fashion blog... and it didn't turn out as well as I hoped so I started this one. The other day I was thinking about starting some fashion posts on here but, I decided to re-start, in a matter of speaking, my blog, it's name is now Fahion {c'est la vie} next week {hopefully} I will start with weekly posts/pictures of some of my outfits that I love so check out, and maybe follow, my fashion blog.

Gnomeo & Juliet

Since It's Shakespeare week at The Erratic Muse  and I just have seen this movie I thought I'd share my thoughts on it :) First of all I love how they took such a serious, romantic classic and made it into a cute, funny movie for all ages. And since it's a cartoon and they're gnomes they aren't perfect famous people we wish we could be like, just cute and real.

 

One of my favorite characters is Nanette {the Nanny} she is hilarious and crazy, she will make you laugh. One thing I like is watching all the garden decorations "come alive" :) 

The yards: Montagues {Blues} and the Capulets {Red} 

Marvelous Monday's

Here's something new and {hopefully!} exiting on my blog, today I am starting "Marvelous Monday's"

Which is a post about anything I think is marvelous each Monday so be on the lookout!

 Chocolate-covered-strawberry's. enough said.

 Nail-polish, particularly this one. I know this sounds awfully girlie but its the perfect shade of pink! 

 This view. The picture was taken from inside a car so sorry for the little reflection on the top right ;)

 BRIDE & PREJUDICE, hilariously cheesy version of pride & prejudice. I laugh so hard every time I watch it! I loved it so much I got the soundtrack from the library.

Well this was a fun post! :) 

I hope you liked it to

Charade

 

...One of my favorite Audrey Hepburn movies.

 

This mystery suspense is killing, it will keep you on your toes.

Ah, the pictures moving! This freaked me out.

Poor Reggie [Audrey] doesn't know who to trust! I thought I had this mystery figured out multiple times but in the end I failed.

 My conclusion:

Old movies are the best, this movie is well written, Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant are superb [although in my opinion Cary's a little to old for her]. You will laugh, you will bite your nails, you will sigh and [if your anything like me] you will be surprised with the ending!

Have any of you seen this? If you have I would love to hear what you thought in a comment!

pouffs = love at first taste

Pouffs - a tragedy/love story

Once upon a time there were some lonely ingrediants :( so they all decided to jump in to a bowl and run around, then they got all mixed up and went into the oven! When they came out they were all pouffy and stuck together. So some other hot and thin ingrediants, who were melting in a pot, decided to walk all over the pouffs, but got stuck. Then a giant [human] came and saw the pouffs with the caremal sauce, it was love at first taste! The human gobbled them up very quickly. The End!! 

Pouffs... like a pancake, but pouffy, you make it in the oven and it's way better! Heres the recipe, and you have to make the caremal sauce also [to get the full effect]


Pouffs
Serves: 4 [maybe double it!]

1 C. flour
1 C. milk
1 T. sugar

Mix together - add 1 aat a time: 4 eggs
Beat well after each egg.

Preheat oven at 425 - while preheating place 2 T. butter in oven proof pie plate -
heat in oven. Pour in batter - bake 20-25 min.  or till puffed/brown.
Serve hot syrup of fruit as you would pancakes.

Brown sugar [caremal] sauce
1/4 C butter
1 C brown sugar
1/4 C milk
1/4 t vanilla

Melt butter; stir in brown sugar add milk - simmer. Stir in 1/4 t baking soda at end to gel.

Crystal Clear

As I'm running through tall green blades of grass the sun shining down on me, casting playful shadows across the ground. A slight crisp breeze floats through the air giving a refreshing break from the heat of the day. I slow my pace as I edge to the top of the hill and smile at the sight that awaits me. I give way to a moment of serenity, but then gaze upon a beautiful fountain flowing down into a pool of water. I near the pond and without a second thought I jump out into the water. It's invisible arms capture me and I am breathless. I swim away from it's grasp up to the top of the water I follow the light waiting, waiting for that air, that relief from this burning inside of me! And then in that last moment of torture I break through the top of the water and inhale that wonderful, beautiful, crystal clear air.

New Year

Happy New Year! Ah, I just love new years time to start fresh [and get on a good schedule]. I have just started a 31 day devotional, for the month of January. It's nice to have a book that plans out what your going to read, then some questions for you to answer. I guess I'm a schedule girl, I like to have things planned out then I know exactly what to do and when! Well since I'm starting this new year by challenging myself to read the bible every day, what about you? What are you doing to grow in your relationship with God? I encourage you to make a Bible reading plan [Proverbs is great, that's what I'm reading] and stick to it! If you miss a day, so what you can catch up. Just try it, Proverbs is a book about wisdom and it never hurts to be wise!
