Cake Balls! And Getting My Hurr Did.

Hello fellow blog friends! How have you been? I'm having such a blast! I spent yesterday shopping with my momma, and hanging out with Baby Bro. We washed my truck (sibling bonding and clean truck = two birds/one stone!) It was fun. I also made dinner for my family. I cooked Pineapple Ginger Chicken (one of Shane's favorite dishes) and even though I thought it was a little dry, it was a success! :) Yay!


This morning I zipped back to my besties so we could go to my hair appointment. Oh my goodness, there was some nerves going on there! The plan was not only to get it cut and dye it blonde but I was also asking for bangs! I haven't had bangs since I was in middle school! Or younger! But what can I say, I was inspire by my best friend's bangs. She's so gorgeous, and I want to be her twin! Haha. 


So I put on my big girl panties, and made it to my appointment. Here's a little photo montage. :)

When my hair was still wet, I almost burst into tears. It looked like black/white Bride of Frankenstein streaks. I held it together until the lady had finished, and was very pleased with the final result. Especially the bangs. I heart the bangs a whole bunch.


Then I went back to Ellie's and took some fun photos with my goddaughter and Ellie's younger sister Emily. My goddaughter was being so difficult! Everytime I went to snap the picture she would stick her tongue out! Bu whenever I looked at her, she would smile. Tricky little two year old! Finally I gave up, and just stuck my tongue out also!

Afterwards my best friend and I decided to make some cake pops! Yup. They are so neat, and off we were to get supplies! We bought the supplies and headed to her parents for her sister's birthday dinner, then back to her house to get to baking!


While we were waiting on the cake to bake, my goddaughter Akemi kept piling pudding cups while singing "Baking a cake. Baking a cake." The pudding cups were her 'cake'. It was so precious!!

We all had matching aprons, and it was just precious!

Needless to say they were a success! Seriously divine. I was surprised how moist and delicious they came out to be! I recommend everyone try and make them!

Well, this girl is exhausted and is taking Baby Bro and my goddaughter to the zoo tomorrow, so I need to get some sleep! Have a great weekend everyone!!

Insanity Is An Appropriate Name

Hi from Florida! It's amazing here, and I am in love with Florida (though let's be honest... I've always been in love!). Though I will say that I am less than thrilled with the heat. Haha. I was enjoying the brisk air of Virginia. I guess I should just take advantage and go lay out by the pool. Lord knows this pale girl needs it! I am on vacation... Haha.


I landed last night and my bestie, Ellie, godbaby Akemi, and good friend Lance picked my booty up from the airport. After a fun journey trying to find each other in the airport, we were off! We went back to their house and hung out for a while, but I was beat! So I passed out before everyone, including my insomniac goddaughter. 


This morning Akemi and I were up before everyone, and she likes to play 'Catch Me'. Which she then runs around expecting you to chase her. She also likes to frog jump and kangaroo jump. None of these are acceptable to do alone, she requires participation from her godmama. I swear, keeping up with Akemi is an entire cardio workout!

We made smoothies this morning, and I thought they were kind of bland, but my best friend loves me enough to pretend to enjoy them. Akemi was very honest and said they were awful. Two year old have no clue how to be subtle... Haha. It was funny. We were also jumping on the trampoline later this afternoon, and she said 'Stop jumping. Get your water.' (My water bottle was right off the trampoline.) I asked if she wanted some water, and she said 'No, you get the water.' This was her way of telling me to stop jumping, she wanted the trampoline to herself. It was hilarious.


Ellie and I went for a run today. It was the first time in a while for Ellie running, so we cut it a little short at a mile and a quarter, but Ellie was a total beast. We were running pretty quickly, and she finished really strong. Plus, we then went back and did a P90X Insanity Pure cardio workout. We were destroyed after that. I mean, seriously. that ish is no joke. It kicked my butt from here back to Africa! I can't wait to do it again! :) 

I straightened my hair for the first time in 8 months today. I had no clue my hair was that long. It made me absurdly happy. (Of course, I'm about to chop it off on Friday.....haha) I also bought new makeup (I love Clinique!), so I felt super pretty today. We tried to go shopping today, but it involved a major toddler meltdown, so we decided to go home instead. You have to be flexible with two year olds, I'm learning! :) 


Tomorrow it's off to hang with my mama, and Monday I have an appointment to try on wedding dresses! I'm so excited! :) I hope everyone has a great Wednesday! :)

Happy Birthday LE!

Today is my best friend, Ellie's birthday. Ellie is quite possibly the most interesting person you'll ever meet. She's a super talented artist, video-game playing, Grandpa sweater-wearing, gorgeous girl whom I love very, very much. She's my other soulmate (Shane obviously being my soulamte as well!) and I would go crazy without her.


She needs to start her own blog, though I'm afraid if she does everyone will stop reading mine, since she's so neat and fun, it would make me look like a boring old lady. :) I'm lucky she puts up with me, and would do anything in the world for her. We call each other BUFF because it's BFF sounded out. We've done it for years.....

Yeah. We're shaving out legs in the kitchen sink. Probably not very sanitary... But we cleaned!

Plus, she gave me this little angel as a goddaughter. So I have to pretend to like her forever, so she doesn't tell me I can't steal her whenever I want. :)

Happy Birthday, LE. I miss you so much, and can't wait to come home and go on adventures. <3

And, as promised, here is quite possibly the most embarrassing video of me and Ellie ever created. (And yes. There are alot.) I really shouldn't show this to people until they have gotten to know me at least enough not to be scared off. Please don't stop reading my blog! :)


P.S. I hope the video works... If not, you can go to this link... here.

P.S. We were not wasted. Just wanted to clarify. We were on our way home from my brother's 3rd birthday party! Haha.
