It's finally spring!

I never thought I'd see the day! Winter was dragging on for far too long. Now all we need are some flowers!

In other news:

~ Justin and I have set our wedding date for September 28th! So, so excited! Next on the agenda is figuring out invites. I have my eye on a few possibilities on Etsy, so we shall see!

~ My old car gave out, and I am now the proud owner of this!

It's taken some getting used to, going from a car to an suv, but I'm in love!

~ I just discovered the tv show Bones on netflix yesterday and oh my word, addicting. Why didn't anyone tell me about this sooner?! I like how each episode is a new mystery to be solved, and Bones/Temperence is such an interesting character. I'm hoping to find out more about her in later seasons. Oh, and of course I want to know if her and Booth ever get together! ;) No spoilers though please!

Alright, I'm going to go do some yoga and then get ready for work. Have a great week everyone!

Because I can't sleep

Today seemed like it dragged on FOREVER but it's finally done! Normally I like my job but today...I don't know what the deal was. Unnecessary drama makes me mad, I'll just leave it at that.

Also I feel like I'm catching a cold, so there's that. I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised, what with everyone around being sick, but still.

Tomorrow I plan to have a grand old day doing whatever I please, to make up for the stupidity of today. There shall be much Degrassi watching and magazine reading. Time for bed now, gotta have energy for my busy day of awesome.

Update on yours truly!

Is anyone still reading this? 

I'm sorry for being such an uninteresting slacker!

I've been promoted to full-time at my job and feel like I've been doing nothing but work and sleep these past few weeks!

But, no more, I say! I miss blogging and I'm back for good!

To catch you up on my life, here are some photos!

Wavy hair! I got a waving iron and I'm obsessed, been doing my hair like this almost every day!

The TARDIS door I made for Justin's birthday...he loves Dr. Who!

Koalas on the neighbor's tree! We never figured out why they were there.

Was amazed to see this on tv the other day, heck yes!

Raspberry cupcake!

The view from our window this morning. I love rainy fall days!

I hope everyone is having a great October! Justin and I will be celebrating our third anniversary on the 15th and I'm super excited! Perhaps I'll do a post about that next!

 

If you really knew me

(I'm pretty sure I've seen this topic on almost every blog I follow, now it's my turn!)

If you really knew me, you'd know that I'm addicted to Starbucks Frappuccinos, the ones in the glass bottles. Doesn't matter what kind, I love them all!

If you really knew me, you'd probably think I have slight ADD, because my conversations are all over the place. One minute I'm pondering what I want for lunch and before you know it I'm going on about whether owls have eyebrows. For the record, they do. :)

If you really knew me, you'd know I really love scary shows. Put on some old episodes of Unsolved Mysteries or Disappeared and I'll be glued to the tv for hours, only tearing myself away to look up more information online. Sometimes I think I should have gotten a criminology degree.

If you really knew me, you'd know that I've wanted to be a ballerina since the age of four, despite being hopelessly uncoordinated. I took a ballet class in college and let's just say it was....interesting. Luckily, I can wear ballet-esque outfits to my heart's desire to make up for it.

If you really knew me, you'd know I'm always searching for new books and music to obsess over. So if you can introduce me to something I end up loving, we'll probably be besties for life.

That was fun! Let me know in the comments if you decide to do this or already have, so I can check it out!

11 things

Good afternoon everyone!

I was looking through old posts on my Tumblr a bit ago (http://violetlilacplum.tumblr.com/)
and came across these questions.
So I thought it'd be fun to post here, since some of my answers have changed!
I'm sure most of you have done one of these before, but if not, feel free to fill it out!

1. What would be your last supper?

This is a tricky one, because I love almost all kinds of pasta...but I'm gonna go with cheese tortellini, with a side of garlic toast.

2. Who is your favorite artist, or art movement, and why?

I'd say my favorites are probably surrealism and pop art.

 

3. What is your favorite cd, that you are also the most embarrassed by? 

I don't even know where my cds are; I haven't seen them in years! But...let's go with Spice Girls :) Still know all the words!

 

4. What is the most humiliating experience you’ve ever had? 

Hmm...having a seizure, passing out, and hitting my body on the toilet as I fell.  Don't worry, it was a few years ago and I'm fine now! But it was super embarrassing at the time.

5. Who, through out time, what you most like to meet and tell off?

All the nasty mean girls throughout middle/high school. I'd let them know I'm not the least bit intimidated by them anymore.

6. What tv show will you watch over and over the most without becoming sick of it? 

My So-Called Life, Degrassi Junior High (the original) and Unsolved Mysteries (the old one)

7. Of the last 4 decades, which would be your favorite? If you weren’t alive during the ’80s that is fine too. 

Other than the 80s, I’d say the 60s. The fashion and music were phenomenal, and I really like French New Wave movies, especially A Woman is a Woman. Basically, I’d want to be Anna Karina!

8. Who do you think is the most overrated current musician?

Lady Gaga, without a doubt.

9. What is something about you that no one else would ever guess?

I have horrible vision in my right eye. Without my contacts or glasses all I can see is the big letter E on the eye chart.

 

10. Have you ever seen a ghost?

I haven't, but my fiance is a paranormal investigator on the weekends so I'm sure he could tell you some stories!

 

11. If you could, ahem, turn back time, what is the one decision you would most change?

I wouldn't let other people influence me so much. I've been much happier since I've been doing things for me, not to please everyone else.

A Word to the Wise

It's probably best to avoid watching the show Disappeared on Netflix while your fiance and roommate are at the movies.  

Why, you ask?

I don't know about you, but I'm a paranoid person.

So when I watch these kinds of shows about people who have gone missing I start hearing noises.

Those are regular house noises, you say?

 Nope, it's gotta be a murderer or a robber!

Which means I could end up just like the people on this show.

OMG!!!!

K, I can't do this anymore, I'm turning on some cartoons.
