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!

xoxo,

Danielle

Friday Faves

Told you I'd be back. :)

Okay, Friday faves! Don't you just love 'em? 

 (1, 2, 3, 4)

1) I've been looking for a denim jacket, seeing as the one I've been wearing is just shaped strangely. It looks too big at some angles, but that's just the way it's made! The one pictured, however, looks like it would fit perfectly.

2) How cute are these giraffes? This picture is simply adorable, and I couldn't help adding it to the list. Did you know that giraffes' tongues are really clean because they eat so many leaves? (No, that should not count as incentive for you to eat leaves.)

3) Pizza and pasta are two things I have been absolutely CRAVING this week. This pizza looks like it would satisfy said craving, but not also make me feel like I drank a bottle of grease. The green probably has something to do with it.

4) This is a very inspirational quote. Living by it wouldn't be such a bad idea, if you catch my drift. In general, it's important to remain positive and to really look for the best in both people and situations.

By the way, Bobby stopped by to see me at work today! (obviously, the smoothies had nothing to do with the visit.) ;) It was a welcome surprise, and I encourage you all to please do the same!

Well my dears, I'm off to a play. My sisters are in our school's performance of Beauty and the Beast, and I'm sure the casts' hard work at rehearsals will pay off.

Until Monday!

xoxo,

Danielle

P.S., I'm using a new software for my collages, seeing as Picnik shut down. :( If any of you fellow Picnik users are wondering where in the world you're supposed to go to add dinosaur stickers or clone out that thing on the wall, I use PicMonkey to do simple editing and Picture Collage Maker for... well, collages. I actually like PCM better than Picnik! Hope that helps. :)

High fives, houseboats, and homework

Hey there.

Lately I've been super busy (what else is new). It's almost that good busy though, when you're relatively happy with the events on your planner, even if they are so very close together. 

For example: 

My planner seems close to crazy, but I like working and parties and... well, not so much homework. So like I said... almost.

Anyway, today was fairly average. I went to school and ate watermelon. We had a chapel schedule because my English teacher's son, Ryan, was home from the army. We got the opportunity to listen to him tell us about serving in Afghanistan. 

It was pretty cool. Please pray for him, as he goes back in a week.

Also,

IT'S NATIONAL HIGH FIVE DAY!

Just thought you should know.

By the way, I'm currently obsessed with houseboats. I could definitely float away right now.

^This is my favorite one. Such a perfect picture!

^This one's just plain cool.

So I've noticed that on the days I have work, I seem to be way more efficient afterwards. I guess I sort of get into the groove of productivity. 

Speaking of productivity, I have to do my laundry. (That's right: I do my own laundry. Because I'm responsible. Because I have a job and not a butler.) ;)

Have a lovely evening. I shall post again tomorrow.

What? I can't possibly miss Friday Faves.

xoxo,

Danielle

P.S., I work tomorrow from 10-3. Come visit!

Is it Friday already?

It's Friday the 13th!

Gosh, this week has blown by. So much to do!

Despite my hectic week, I wouldn't miss Friday Faves for the world. 

(1, 2, 3, 4)

1) I just love this print. The colors are gorgeous, and the scene, of course, is perfect. If I had a Paris themed room, this would definitely be a must-have.

2) Lately I've been on the hunt for tan wedges, and these are close to what I want (less buckles, lighter shade... small alterations.). I found some about a week ago that were almost exactly what I'm looking for, but there was a reason they were on clearance (broken buckle strap loop thingy). I suppose I'll just have to keep looking!

3) How perfect is this picture? The tart looks delicious (I love all berries, by the way). I might have to make it if I come across a lazy day. There is no end to what you'll find on Pinterest. I have a whole board for food.

4) THIS. SHOW. If you haven't watched it, you're missing out. I can't help laughing continuously throughout the episodes. Re-runs are on TBS a lot, and the more current episodes can be found here. My favorite character is Sheldon. He's hilarious.

By the way, my first day at Planet Smoothie went well! I am now able to work the cash register. Currently, I'm working on the memorization of what smoothies go under which category. I made flash cards.

Well, I suppose that's it for today. If all goes as planned, I should have a party to tell you about come Monday.

Have a fantastic weekend. :)

xoxo,

Danielle

Friday Faves

It's Friday! How cool is that?

So a few things I've been loving recently...

(1, 2, 4) -- (3 is from Pinterest... with no link.)

1) This is so true. Yesterday I got hopelessly lost trying to get to Dr. Phillip's and there was nothing I wanted more than to just go home! I was immensely glad when I pulled into my driveway.

2) How cool are these eggs?? It's such a good idea to do this instead of dying them traditionally(although that's also cool). The pattern on this specific egg is super cute. 

3) Okay, so obviously I'm way too old mature to wear this myself, but how adorable is that bathing suit? And that pose. Ahhh, it's killing me! Perhaps I should find this for Hannah?

4) This looks so incredibly yummy! I love strawberry shortcake, and to apply that to cookies is just... oh, my! I really want to make these.

• Oh yeah...

I got a job!! (my first one, guys!)

I start Wednesday. Fingers crossed that I don't completely botch the whole experience. (I'm not nervous or anything.)

• By the way, here are a few finds from my latest Pinterest rampage:

(I stalked my own Pinterest profile for old pins and rediscovered these)

I may have a few hundred pins. But c'mon! Who can resist sharing a picture of lemon poppyseed muffins? Honestly, they're too good.

Well, that's all for today, my lovelies. 

Have a great Easter weekend!

xoxo,

Danielle

P.S., is anyone else going to the Easter picnic tomorrow at Camp Down? (in Windermere. I think it's been renamed.) If you'd like to come, it's at 11:30. :)
