babygirl...

It was my birthday yesterday.
I think i'm overwhelmed with how jolly it was. true.

I went and did college stuff with pappy in the morning. O my. Such confusion. But then we went to costco, and i shopped like a mad woman. Pushing the cart makes me feel so powerful. But one thing...i think pushing carts is kind of like driving. And that makes me a reckless driver. GOSH. I almost caused like 12 collisions.
Plus. I went to Petco. New fish. I call her 'babygirl'. See photo below.*grin*
And i came home to a beautiful cake. Well, actually, i came home home to a beautiful girl yelling at the beautiful cake. She didn't think it was that beautiful. But it was.
Oh.
And i did-the all famous-birthday hunt. I ended up getting a smashing amount of gifts. I feel so spoiled. Literally.
I think i could burst at how happy i am right now.

p.s.- i am in camera heaven.(;

it will be the death of me...

This is Bell.
[And this is my rebuttal to her post on her blog.]

Her middle name just might be GORGEOUS.

Seriously. I don't think she knows how pretty she is. (note: BOYS, keep away. love, ME.)

Amidst all the gorgeousness of her lovely face, [i believe] she's gonna kill me with her driving one day. No kidding. I wouldn't call her the best stick driver in the world.(but i wouldn't call her the worst either. thank goodness.) And yes, maybe i am the worlds worst backseat driver EVER.[see here.] But i just can't help myself when it comes to her. Literally. I was thinking about getting out of the car while she crossed the intersection.
I was just to cute to die today.[and so was she.]

On another note:

Mama's bird-day tonight. She doesn't even know. And speaking of not knowing, no one knows how old she is. GOSH. We all just kind of pretend.

Pancakes for dinner tonight. Ria's request on her last day of work. I will be making them.

Conference in just [3]days.

And.
Bell and i went to collage info meeting today.
Helllllo confusing. So much to do i tell you.
Ugh.

Love. Mandy.
[the girl that could die any day.]

ten birthday dreams.

I've been thinking about birthdays lately.
Particularly mine. What i want. What i don't. All that jazz.
Here's a little list.
And maybe some of this will happen this year, maybe it will happen when i turn 72. All i know, is i really want it to happen.

"TEN things."

1. I would die to go to a "John Mayer" concert. Literally.(but i would make sure i died afterwards, cause before would just be a tragedy.)

2. I want to go stargazing.

3. I want Steve Carrel to come to my party. Bell already said no. Darn it. Instead we can just watch the office and dance to the theme song when it comes on.

4. I want a big thing of balloons. And then i wanna let them go(while making wishes.).

5. I want chocolate cake.

6. And talking about cake, i want to smash somebodies head into a cake.

7. I've always wanted a LOVELY trip to the beach.

8. I want a bouquet of flowers.

9. I want to laugh so hard my stomach hurts.

10. And i want to be happier than i was the birthday before.

I think it will all happen. One day...

Love, mandy.

bird-day day.

She's 19 now.
A lovely 19 year old.
I liiiike her.

Her birthday:

A hunt full of witty little things.
It took her more than an hour.

Drank tea.

Park date.
It was darling. Every bit.

We all went to the movies.
"Letters to Juliet"

She got a kindle.
Named it 'Trey Francis'
Bahaha.

And tonight,
the ballet.

love...tandymandy

Bella is David, David is Bella

Bella,
Happy Bird-Day.
i don't think i could ask for a more darling youngest oldest seester.
Thank you for being mine.
I LOVE YOU.
(serioulsy...i do. running around outside in the dark. gluing till i feel like puking. and frosting cupcakes past midnight. that's got to mean something.)

And just for the record, you aren't cute.
You're Hoootttttttt.

cheerio.
Love, TandyMandy

my lips matched my skirt

My day: pure joy.

All about pink lipstick and oldies in the car.

And...
I rode my bike.(heart) It was dandy. Made me smile big.
And then i went and picked bouquets. We have a smattering of flowers in our kitchen these days. I liiike it.

(3 days to go)
Bird-day shopping for bell was a success. I'm not even close to being nearly done but it's all coming along nicely. I'm glad. Her bird-day is going to be rad i tell you. Very rad indeed. I still have so much to do though. O my.

I have a song stuck in my head. "Almost Lover" by a fine frenzy. {Courtesy of kirsty.} It's been playing over and over all day long. But i can't say i dislike it. I'm rather falling in love with it. Seriously.

Tomorrow is:
Cramming on the birthday stuff.
Letter writing.
And sunSHINE.

Hope life is beautiful.

Love, Tandymandy

I will wear a lellow summer dress

It's going to be a loverly day.
I know it.
(and that calls for a loverly dress.*smile*)

Birthday shopping for Bell today.
I'm going with daddy.(we'll call it a date.*wink*)
It's going to be smashing if i do say so myself.
Lots of places to go.

This is going to be grand.

See you later lovelies.
Yours,
Tandymandy

I decided we would be the best of friends.
It's going to be a brilliant time i'm sure.

Big lellow bus ride today.
Off to a track meet.
I get to
smile
wear spandex
and have a jolly good time.
Can't complain about that.

My little bro woke up to cupcakes and a birthday hunt.
I've come to the conclusion that birthdays in our house can't just be birthdays.
THEY HAVE TO BE BIRTHDAYS.
The kind you'll always remember.
We tend to go overload sometimes.
Like staying up till one in the morning.
So much to do.

I'm smiling at a big blue sky right now.
I am in love with you blue sky.
Please stay with me today.

I'm off.
Hope you all have a darling day.
love...
miss tandy

My Birthday...

{Like my new blog? It is oh so loverly. *smile* Thank you Laria.}

A wonderful week it has been.

My birthday was uhmazing thusfar! I smiled a whole lot that day. I woke up to a little bouquet on my pillow and a trail of flowers down the hall. What more could i ask for?! I even got an adorable little present hunt that Miss Bella put together. It made me happy. I have to say i got some very spiffy gifts.{including this blog} You'd be jealous...one of them was a fairy crown. Makes me feel...fairy-ish.Of course. I wore it that day with my spiffy dress to the movies.
*Smile*
It turned out to be a very smashing day.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . .
And now i'm getting ready to start a brand new week, which is going to be fantastic.
Hope you have a swell day.
