We made it!
This is post number
ONE-HUNDRED
Feel free to throw a party if you would like.
If I had the time, I would as well. It's a pretty big event.
There would be 100 balloons. And a variety of foods, with 100 pieces each.
I would invite 100 people, and play games involving the number 100. It would be bigger than 100-day in elementary school.
But alas, I do not indeed have the time or money to throw a party that big and wonderful, so I'll let you be in charge of that.
Or you can just imagine such a party and we'll call it good.
Yeah, I like that plan better.

good times
when i was little, my favorite movie was Beauty and the Beast.
I still love it to this day.
Apparently I would pretend to be Belle, and i would hold the movie cover as my book and sing the opening song, and then tell my dad that he was Gaston and then he would come in and sing his part. i'm sure it was adorable ;)
but that's besied the point.
As we were listening to disney songs in the car the other day, my youngest brother (Drew, age 6), asked who Gaston was.
I just about lost it.
MY little brother didn't know who Gaston was?! I was horrified. This must be remedied at once.
Well, I was out and about this evening but Emily and Drew stayed home and watched Beauty and the Beast. As I was getting them set up, Emily had to ask me what end of the VHS went into the player first. (has it really been that long since we've used VHS's? ...I remember buying our first DVD player. yikes.)
Also, as I was getting ready to leave, a preview for Aladdin came on.
oh. my. goodness. a preview for something i'd known my whole, entire life. in fact, it even had the date, that Aladdin was coming out in 1992. yup, it's as old as me. And it's still good.
And it had that male voice that announced practically all the Disney movies.
Later tonight, I watched Tarzan. also an excellent movie (and more violent/gory than i had thought as a kid). which led to an analysis of disney movie villains and how they die. we came to the conclusion that Disney has some weird fascination with people falling to their death. If you think about it, if a villain dies, it's usually falling to his/her death.
fascinating.
feeling a tad old at the moment.
and i don't even turn 19 for 3 more days!

why on earth?!...
sometimes I look back at 13-16 year old me, and just wonder, "what was i thinking?...."
why did i think that was cute to wear?
why would i ask such a question?
why was I too blind to see what was plainly obvious to everyone else?
why would i say such embarrassing things?
wow, i thought i was hilarious. ....i was not indeed, as funny or as wonderful or as cute as i thought i was.
I was a particularly awkward teenager.
then i just sit. and hope that i have gotten out of the worst of those stages, and that i didn't embarrass myself too horribly.
but, i still have one more year (and four days), to be a teenager. guess i better make the best of it! (and as my mother would say, use this last year to blame stupid things on being a teenager. in a year, i won't have that luxury ;) haha)

get going
Productive.
That's a hard word for me sometimes.
Especially lately.
I'm on summer break. Which, as a kid, means time at the pool, tanning, watching movies, reading, hanging with friends, and whatever else your heart desires.
Unfortunately, though I still feel like a kid, and would prefer to act like one most of the time, I'm not one.
So I try to get away with watching Psych and sleeping and eating junk food all day. And then I realize that I still haven't cleaned my bathroom. Or my bedroom.
My garbage can still has trash in it.
My blog is lacking on posts.
The playground is not stained.
My boxes still need to be de-junked.
My checkbook still needs to be balanced.
My puppy could still use some loving.
I need to eat in there somewhere.
textbooks need to be bought.
Pictures are waiting to be edited.
Letters waiting to be written.
And I am still broke.
And on the days that I go work 8 hour days, I just want to come home and continue lounging.
I tend to not really think about what I've got to do, until it's 11:00 at night. And too late to do a lot of it.
Hey, at least I got a blog post in right? That was on the list of things to get done. yup.
One of these days this is really going to come back and bite me right in the butt.

...Will you?
So, lately it feels like pretty much everyone is getting engaged and married. Well, i suppose not everyone, but it sure is a lot of people. Maybe I'm just getting older? After all, I only have a little over one year left of being a teenager. (yikes!)
Anyways, I love weddings. And I will be patient for my day to come (goodness, it does NOT need to come too soon). But, I will admit that I'm very excited for that day. I probably have more already picked out than I want to admit to. I love looking at wedding pictures, and fun proposals.
Below, are two very creative proposals that I kinda, sorta fell in love with ;)

Aren't they just great?!
Please share any, any engagement stories if you would like. I would absolutely love to hear :)
Sometimes it's the most simple things that are the best anyways.
