fall florals

Finally! So I was going to post yesterday, but the fair got the best of me. I had a really cute outfit, but I was too excited to wait and take pictures before the fair, so we left forthwith. And thanks to the 50000% humidity (but it didn't rain!), I was all sticky and gross and frizzy by the time we got back, so I decided against taking pictures. The fair was SO much fun though! We rode rides, screamed our heads off, and ate deliciously disgusting fair food! I even had a fried oreo for the first time, and it was good. Too good. Anyway...

My legs hurt SO bad from training. It's a good hurt though. An "I'm working hard" kind of hurt. I'm gonna work out tomorrow, but then I'll have no workout time until Monday! I can't wait for the weekend! Atlanta! Six Flags! Shopping! Excited. Oh my, I *just* remembered that I have a caramel-pecan covered apple in the fridge from the fair!! Sorry, tangent. I got excited. Anyway. I always have so much I want to say in a post that I think about during the day, but by the time I actually get to blogging, I forget it all! I guess I should start jotting things down, yea?

I've been so obsessed with ghosts lately it's unreal. I've been watching the Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures marathons as well as Paranormal State and Psychic Kids whenever they're one. And what's weird: during an episode I watched of Paranormal State, the team visited an elderly couple and the wife was experimenting with voice recorders and EVP's (electronic voice phenomenon, voices heard through white noise) and having a hard time coping with the spirits she was communicating with. And her name? Carol Anne. Spelled the same too! I've only met one other Carol Anne in my 23 years, (she's also an old lady and she works at this amazing thrift store down here) but other than that, the only other time I've ever heard my name when someone wasn't talking to me was while watching Poltergeist. It's such a strange feeling!

punkin' carvin'

Last night, Chris and I carved pumpkins! I'm a little late this year, but last year I carved mine so early it ended up rotting before Halloween even got here! Last year, I carved the chesire cat, but this year, I was feeling lazy, so I stuck with a skeleton and a kitty cat as per the pumpkin carving kit templates :] Chris, being a badass illustrator, of course, drew his own. Drew his own scary clown, I might add. It looks amazing. I envy his mad skills :]








The cat was supposed to have a little curl in his tail, but it broke off as I was removing the last large chunk of pumpkin :/ It's still cute though, and you can hardly notice.


(showoff!) ;]


All finished! (I kinda wanna carve another one!)

Sorry for the lack of fashion-related posts; I just haven't been feelin' it lately. I should've taken a pic of what I wore on our date night Friday, but once we got home I got out of my dressy clothes and hurty heels and into my jammies before Chris had time to ask, "You want me to take a picture for your blog?" Oh well. I might get dressed up again just to take some pictures! It was a really cute outfit, and so fancy!

Tomorrow, Chris and I are going to attempt to go to the FAIR!!! I'm SO excited. I LOVE the fair! Only thing is, weather says 30% chance of rain during the time we're planning on going, and down here, that pretty much means it's going to rain. (Although 30/100 wouldn't lead one to assume that) Either way, we'll have fun. Hopefully it won't rain, and we'll get to ride the rides, but if it does, we can just pig-out on fair food and play the games! Eee! I can't wait! I've already decided that we're going to go again on Sunday since the weather will be better regardless of whether or not the weather holds up tomorrow (weather whether weather!). I really want to take some pictures of lights and rides and carnies and such! But I don't trust anyone I don't know holding any of my cameras while I ride a ride, so that would have to be a no-ride day.

Anyway, I'm rambling. I'm going to dress cute tomorrow and try to get around to making a post! If not, Wednesday should definitely bring about a fashion-post. Yay!

ghost night

I'm home alone (well... I have a roommate in the next room) on a Saturday night watching the Ghost Adventures marathon and trying not to get scared! I'm totally fine watching scary things when someone else is watching with me, but even with my roommate in the next room, I can't help but think that every bump is a ghost! Eep! Even though I've never seen a ghost in this house before... I get paranoid :3.

So today, at the gym, I ran 3... yes THREE miles for the first time! I really thought it would take me at least a month of training to get up to 3, but I did it in the first 2 weeks! I think the key was my dad telling me to alter my stride so I run slower and make bigger strides. It made such a difference! Even once I got to 3 miles, I felt like I could've continued, but my knees and feet were hurting :/ and I now have a blister on my toe, but I'm not running tomorrow, so hopefully it'll heal before I run on Monday. I'm training for the Azalea Trail Run 5k in March, so I have plenty of time to work on my speed, especially now since I've actually made the 3 miles! I'm going to train for 4... maybe 5, just so the 3 seems like nothing.

Did I mention I'm blogging from my BED on my new MACBOOK?! I am! It's so nice, not having my old 10lb pc laptop. I couldn't even keep it in my lap for very long since it was so heavy and got so hot.


Me being a goof, the first photobooth picture with my new Mac!

Chris and I are going to Six Flags in Atlanta on Friday and meet up with my old roommate, Andrea and her boyfriend! I'm so excited, and I just know this coming week at work is going to go by soooo slow! Anyway, I'm going back to Ghost Adventures... punkin' carving tomorrow!
