So classes have begun again and soon autumn will pay us a visit again! God-willing she will bring with her a lovely temperature change. I absolutely love the Fall!! I can't wait to bring out the lovely orange flowers my mother and I bought from Michael's last year as well as the pine-cones. I also hope to make some snickerdoodles to celebrate!! I'm brainstorming on ideas on how to celebrate Autumn finally coming back. I know it may seem too soon but I don't want to wait until the last minute to try and throw something together. Maybe I'll make some earrings as well.... well we shall see!
So it's been near forever since I last wrote on this blog. I don't really have an excuse other than I just didn't feel I had that much to say. But really I did. My birthday since has come and passed.I received Gone With the Wind the novel as a gift from my lovely aunt and uncle and boy was I super happy about it. I mean very, very happy about it. I couldn't even read the book at first because I was still in shock that I finally had it!! The weekend itself though was wonderful. I spent Saturday with my best friend and siblings. We drove around, stopped at McDonalds, hit the beach, went to church, and saw a movie [Harry Potter, amazing!!].
The royal wedding is in two days! Just two days and I cannot wait!! I plan to be up by 3:30 AM to start watching coverage of it. I am seriously so, so excited! I know some people may blow it off and think who cares but I don't care! I am terribly excited!! I hope to go buy some soda to help me stay awake through out the whole event! Friday is a busy day for me, I have the Royal wedding to watch and a carnival to help prepare for! I'm actually pretty busy this whole weekend but I cannot wait!!!!!!! It all starts tomorrow with the NFL Draft!! I can't wait! Si Dios Quiere it all goes very well!!!! Au revoir!!
For some strange unknown reason I have this song stuck in my head and now I am listening to it.
I love this song and I remember first hearing it on Alvin and the Chipmunks when The Chipettes are singing it. I loved the song ever since.
Okay moving on,
I have quite a lot of things to write about.
First why my previous post was called "I Have One Ber-Nana Left". Well I was about to write on my blog and my sister was sitting next to me eating chopped up bananas with her ice cream. I forgot what I was about to do and suddenly she says "Wait, Roxy! I have one ber-nana left!" Instead os saying banana she said ber-nana. We thought it was so funny, don't you? No? Well I guess it was a had to be there moment...
Next the book review I plan to do is on a book called What I Saw and How I Lied by Judy Blundell. I really enjoyed reading this book that was set in post WWII.
A short summary-
When Evie's father returned home from World War II, the family fell back into its normal life pretty quickly. But Joe Spooner brought more back with him than just good war stories. When movie-star handsome Peter Coleridge, a young ex-GI who served in Joe's company in postwar Austria, shows up, Evie is suddenly caught in a complicated web of lies that she only slowly recognizes. She finds herself falling for Peter, ignoring the secrets that surround him . . . until a tragedy occurs that shatters her family and breaks her life in two.
As she begins to realize that almost everything she believed to be a truth was really a lie, Evie must get to the heart of the deceptions and choose between her loyalty to her parents and her feelings for the man she loves. Someone will have to be betrayed.
The question is . . . who?
Some pretty serious stuff, huh?
Now onto ELF. In a previous post about Inglot cosmetics I wrote how it would be difficult to return to Drugstore make-up after going to Inglot. Well ELF has changed my mind. Like any other cosmetic brand, ELF has it's pros and cons. A Con would definitely be how their brushes can break easily. But a pro is how great some of their eyeshadows can be. For example, the Punk Funk is awesome. I love the pink in it and the purple. They have great pigmentation as long as you have a primer for them. Which ELF also has though I have yet to try it. I hope to try it soon seeing that the Kmart by my house recently began selling ELF. I went on Sunday and they only had one left. I seriously don't know what's wrong with me that I didn't get it. It was as though I wasn't really there, how could I not be paying attention? I went back yesterday and it was of course gone! Lesson learned. I've been wanting to try the primer out for a while and it was right there yet I didn't get it. *Sigh* I guess it was meant for someone else. But next time I see it I will get it and let you know how it works. If you want to see the photos of the ELF Punk Funk and some awesome nail polishes I got just click here.
Well that's all for this post, I'll be back shortly with another post about my awesome Saturday!
If I die young, bury me in satin Lay me down on a, bed of roses Sink me in the river, at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh, uh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, well I've had, just enough time
If I die young, bury me in satin Lay me down on a, bed of roses Sink me in the river, at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life, well I've had, just enough time
And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom I'm as green as the ring on my little, cold finger, I've Never known the lovin' of a man But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there's a Boy here in town who says he'll love me forever, Who would have thought forever could be severed by The sharp knife of a short life, well, I've had, just enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar They're worth so much more after I'm a goner And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin' Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
If I die young, bury me in satin Lay me down on a, bed of roses Sink me in the river, at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh (uh, oh) The ballad of a dove (uh, oh) Go with peace and love Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh
The sharp knife of a short life, well I've had, just enough time
