i think every girl should have three pairs of high heels.

i could stand outside in the rain for hours.
sometimes i wish i had a really big vocabulary.
i have dreams of my first car being a "VW' bug.[yes please.]
i will splurge on J. Crew one day.
when i'm older, i will run around my house in my *gasp* undies.
i love eating breakfast for lunch, lunch for dinner, and dinner for breakfast.
i've been scared of the dark since i was like four years old.
i secretly want to be on 'The Biggest Loser'.
i hope to always have good neighbours. and be a good neighbour too.
i loathe talking on the phone.
i plan on crying when i actually get to go to a "John Mayer' concert.
if i ever have an early morning job i will have to set twenty alarms to wake myself up.

Heading off to WA. today.
I packed my cowgirl boots.
I packed my toothbrush.
I practically packed my house.
(Yes, i over-packed.)
Which by the way is so much better than under-packing.

I'll be back soon.

I promise.

Love. Mandy.

dead fish floating in my bowl.

Trathaniel died today.
Mmm...yeah, i just said that. Even though i never wanted to.
I was listening to JOHN MAYER['my stupid mouth'] when i glanced up at him. DEAD. In his little bowl. I thought i would hate that song after that. But i can't hate 'john mayer'. Ever.
So, i put my head in my pillow, screamed, and then moved on.
Coming this next week i'm going to pick out a new one. It's like pressing the restart button. But it will be different. A good different.
Love.Mandy.
and.
R.I.P. Trathaniel.

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.]

When...

When i have my own house...
...it will have rooms covered in WALLPAPER.
...a very large kitchen.
...and a turquoise couch.
...i'll have a swing set in my backyard.
...and orchids planted in my front yard.
...i dream of having two ovens.(selfish, i know.)
...i will have a cupboard stalked with tea.
...and i'll make my bread every sunday.

But for now, i don't have any of that.
DARN.

love.mandy.

little town of disappointment

(I've been a blog slacker lately.)

Today went swell.
So much better than yesterday.
I spent it with jen.
We ran around town. Literally.

Dearest town that i live in,
You have an enormous lack of floaties for sale. Seriously.
Thirteen stores and i come out with zip.
Summers not even over yet.
GOSH.

28 days till my bird-day. OH JEAH.

Muffins on the brain right now.
Ever since this morning.
Maybe i'll go scourer the kitchen for some ingredients.

Love, mandy.

in love with my muffins

I feel LOVELY today. Mostly.
(minus the fact that i'm coming down with a cold. dear me.)

I have my jeans and blue t-shirt on. And i am completely satisfied. Literally. It's just that kind of day.

Little tykes sport camp.=♥

I made muffins for lunch. Banana muffins to be precise. (muffins make the world go round. true.) I burnt myself twice and made a BIG mess. Did you know i'm a messy cook? VERY. You have no idea. When i'm older, and married, i think my kitchen is always going to be a mess. (My poor future husband. Baha) And this equals LOVE.
Listen to it.
I was totally in the mood for it today.

Dance. Dance. Dance.

Hope you are having a smashing week.
Love, mandy.♥

road trip.

Love. Mandy.

Yours, Mandy.

Buckets of loverly today.
Wedding was smashing.
Cake was yummo.
And i was happy.

I'll tell you more about it later.
But for now...goodnight darlings.

Love, Mandy♥

I hope there's dancing and chocolate cake

Wedding.
2 O'clock.
Today.
Joy.

I should go curl my hair.
And put my little blue dress on.

Have a beautiful day lovelies.

♥, Mandy

OUR bowl of cherries.

♥, Mandy
...and danny too.

to the fire ball

Today is tiring.

Woke up at SEVEN.
Gardening all morning. It was hottt. Literally.
Not looking forward to tomorrow.

Dear Sun,
Go Away.
Love, Mandy

Camp countdown:
8 days. Only 8.
And then i get to see friends i haven't seen in a year. A whole entire year. That's the best.
I CAN'T WAIT.

I think i'll go do some yoga.
Legs-up-on-the-wall pose.
It always makes me feel better.♥, Mandy.

it's natural

I was happy today.
So entirely happy.

Convo while sitting on the store floor.
Lady at the store-"Is your hair permed?"
Mandy(me)- "Why no...it's natural."
Lady at the store- *looks impressed* walks away.
Mandy(me)- *smiles with contentment.*

Wednesday was rather beautiful. I'm not going to lie.

Much love...
Mandy♥
