Yay for Internet!!

September 18, 2012

The internet is back up and running! Woo hoo for me! So here we go with the pictures I wanted to share and I decided to link up w/ Breanna @ My Beautiful, Crazy Life for a fun link up party they do monthly! 




Check out her blog and some of the other blogs participating! 

{1}
When you’re feeling down, what do you do to pick yourself up?
Hmmm I have a method I picked up from Greys..I dance it out. I put the music as loud as it goes, silence the phone and dance till I can’t stand. If I need to I cry it out while i’m dancing but otherwise the music and being alone for a bit usually calms me down. 

{2} 
 If you had to live in a different time period which would you prefer?
Hmmmm that is kind of a hard one I think…I am a fan of the roaring 20’s…aside from the Prohibition but then you wouldn’t have had those speakeasys to party in then…I think it all stems from The Great Gatsby! 

{3} 
What is the most creative Halloween costume you’ve ever worn?
Oooh how I love love Halloween!! I think the last two years have been my most creative really, in case your new around here I love group costumes and dressing up! 

Last year: Jade & Kitana 
2010: The Ninja Turtles 

{4}
Five weird things about you we wouldn’t know without being told?
1. I love Country music(although recently I have been more open with sharing that) 
2. I gave up all caffeinated drinks 5 years ago this coming January 
3. Brussel Sprouts are the only food that I will NOT eat ever again 
4. I met most of my IRL friends that I am closest to online a few years ago 🙂 
5. I’m lactose intolerant(which sucks by the way) 

{5}
What would you tell your 16-year-old self?
haha ooh to be 16 again. I swear I thought life so hard back then. First thing I would tell myself is to enjoy it, take it easy because life after HS is way harder. To be faithful to that guy because he was a good person and the decisions eventually ruined him and most importantly:
Those people that made you doubt yourself are not of any importance. 

Love this link up! Join in and share!!!

So yummies!! Unfortunately the handle on that adorable plate she sent  broke but I found enough pieces to glue it back on! Can’t wait to change out the ribbon to something purple! Ha! 
 
So excited to have been partnered with her and my roomie & I are having a great time enjoying the sweets!
