Sick Days/ Friday Faves/ Science Center

Friday Faves!!

(I'm on schedule this week) :)

(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) :

1) This is very true. However, the philosophy is often questioned by many. For instance, today I wore a skirt and my dad asked why in the world I would wear something nice on an ordinary day. True, I wasn't wearing it in order to be 'polite', but there's no great reason why I shouldn't wear something on a Friday that I would wear on a Sunday. Or... maybe it's a teenage girl thing. Either way, I love being well dressed, and that's a perfectly good reason to be exactly that.

2) This print is so adorable! I love the French-ness of it. I would actually buy this print and frame it. I'm not sure where I would put it, but I'm certain it would go perfectly somewhere in my room.

3) I want a Vespa in mint. I doubt any other person I know is as obsessed with European modes of transportation as I am. (although I could probably bike more)

4) In about six years, this will be me. (hopefully I'm half as gorgeous as the majority of the woman in this picture). I will have successfully become an event planner, meaning that I will attend glamorous soirees that require evening gowns and a dashing date. (who, by the way, happens to be my Prince.)

{Oh, I haven't told you about my Prince? Well that's probably because I haven't met him yet. 

It's nearly impossible in high school.

There's a list of qualities that he has.

(these qualities have accumulated over the years.)

If I find time in my weekend, perhaps I'll describe him to you. :)}

5) This depicts my ideal day off. It also reminds me that I need to buy new books and teacups (which I will hand wash with care). I love that Florida summers are rainy in the afternoons. They make the objects in this picture essential, and they're really all you need on rainy days except perhaps cute rain boots. (Also, old books are just really charming.)

I will be the first to admit that I ought to blog much more than I do.

Unfortunately, sickness came at a most inconvenient time and I was unable to blog from Sunday to Wednesday. 

As Miranda from The Devil Wears Prada would say, I was 'an incubus of viral plague'.

(Basically I had a stomach bug, followed by a few days of horrible vertigo.)

Other than that, though...

my week was fairly good.

On Thursday, I went to the Orlando Science Center! 

Although it wasn't quite as exciting as it used to be,

(and we're talking elementary school)

it was still pretty cool.

I took pictures.

Obviously, I was a fan of the dinosaur exhibit. (always have been)

I probably looked like an idiot spinning this around to get the 'eye of the storm' effect.

I went into the anatomy exhibit.

I took a picture.

I walked right back out.

I am not destined to become a nurse.

Also, I am dreading Anatomy class.

My favorite part of the whole thing!! I'd use it as a giant, glamorous nightlight.

It's a perfect little world. :)

This reminded me too much of Alice in Wonderland to not take a picture. Seriously, this was too cool.

Yes, they had baby crocodiles!

We watched a documentary on dolphins in a really rare dome-like theater. It was pretty cool.

And this was the stage in the very empty theater at the back of the building. I'm not sure if I was even supposed to be there.

So there you have it! 

My whole week in one post. 

Hopefully I'll be able to post more often. 

I really do love blogging.

Until next time, my dears.

Car accidents. SATs. Green shorts. Kuersten.

Hey, y'all :)

Okay, so if you were on your way to Ocoee HS for SATs on Saturday, you probably saw a car crash.

That was me in my totally awesome green shorts.

But don't fret! I and the other driver are doing just fine, thank God.

It was actually kind of funny when a girl at the school went "Oh were you in the crash? I recognized your shorts."

So apparently it's not normal to be able to take the SAT right after a car accident, but I think I did pretty well.

If not, I'll have a perfectly good opportunity to re-take it next year.

This is what the rest of my day looked like:

(basically relaxing and not really doing anything)

I don't always eat chocolate, but when I do it's fancy schmancy chocolate from Europe. :)

(or whatever else we happen to have in the house.)

By the way, I love my sunglasses.

I bought another pair exactly like them so that I could keep one pair in the car and one for whatever else.

Anyway, after that I attempted to take pictures of my neighbor's dog, but the battery died and I ended up with this:

(He's that brown fluffy thing next to the cabinet.) :)

After that, I went home and, through multiple pictures of myself that have no real purpose applicable to life, produced my new profile picture:

Also, this:

Because I'm that cool.

Sunday was much easier to live with. :)

My friend Kuersten came over and we took pictures all day!

I think we both looked very J.Crew-esque.

Don't you?

 :)

Basically, Saturday was extremely weird, and Sunday was really fun. 

By the way, I love polka dots.

I hope your weekend was absolutely amazing!

Danielle

P.S., here's a video of Kuersten and I dancing to Italian music.

Friday Faves

Hi guys :)

I have just enough time between work and homework and other little things to take part in the most exciting part of my week: 

Friday Faves!

(1, 2, 4)

 3 was found on Pinterest and had no follow-through link.

1) This is such a cool painting. I wish I could paint like that. I'll get started on it as soon as I move to my imaginary island, where there are ideal subjects. 

2) How cute is this picture?? I've had it on my computer for a while, but just now thought of adding it to the Faves. It's just super adorable.

3) This is perfect. It makes me wish that I lived somewhere other than Florida, where mountains were aloud to be bigger than what Northerners consider hills. If I could, I would definitely live on a ranch somewhere. I can't quite place why, but that's what this picture reminds me of.

4) I've talked about this song before (and how my mom used to sing it to me), but pictures of it just keep popping up! Maybe posting it eight thousand times will help me to remember it when I'm in my 90's and have amnesia. (as hard as you try, you can't stop old age.)

Well, I suppose I'd better get back to my homework.

By the way, I'm progressing very well at PS. :) I really love it there. I can't think of a better boss for my first job.

Wow, I think it's abnormal to crave as much pasta as I do every day. 

It's all I want to eat.

(I don't though, and my body thanks me.)

Also, please, please pray for my friend Kaitlyn. She recently had her appendix removed and is recovering well, but still needs prayer!

Thank you :)

Oh yeah, back to work.

Until Monday, my friends!

Danielle

Oh, Friday...

• I have some faves for you. :)

(1, 2, 3, 4)

1) This is the perfect print! I found it on Pinterest (which led me to Tumblr). I take naps because when I wake up, the world is a better place. It just helps, especially when you're able to wake up naturally. (No alarm clocks)

2) Andrew Belle is possibly one of the best singers I have ever heard. The lyrics are so sweet, and the sound is just really relaxing. I've also been listening to really old songs like Rockin' Robin and Good Mornin'.

3) Waffles are the key to a yummy breakfast. Add blueberries, and you're set. I love the shape of these. Too cute!

4) Polka dots are very popular this season, and thank goodness! Personally, I've always liked polka dots. These pants are fantastic! It helps that they're from Anthro. :)

• By the way, I did yoga this morning! 

I've been trying to start, but it's strangely difficult to find the time for things that are actually good for you.

Nevertheless, my semi-health kick has begun. (I can't completely avoid cake with all of these birthdays coming up!)

Here's to a lovely Friday, and a fantastic weekend. :)

xoxo,

Danielle

This looks perfect for tomorrow morning. Somehow, both energizing and relaxing at the same time!
