prompt four. lil mini me.

prompt four:
a photo of you as a child and 7 facts about your childhood.

psh, one photo, i gots three.


berry-pickin' adventurer.
(please note my bright pink salt water sandals. favorites.)


cabbage patch lovin'.
i remember when i found a "tattoo" on my dolls butt.


apparently i was pissed and wanted my training wheels back.
i kind of feel like that today. metaphorically, of course.

on to seven whole facts.

uno: i distinctly remember the first time i heard red hot chili peppers' under the bridge.
i was in my room in the condo we lived in, "cleaning", and i remember thinking, i really like this song.
i'm glad my parents liked good music.
i am still thankful for that.

dos: i remember wearing my 49ers t-shirt and some 80's paisley patterned shorts at my parent's wedding.

tres: i was the only kid around until keegan was born.

cuatro: it was during a wiffle ball tournament at my parent's friend's house that my dad told me i had to put a shirt on because i was girl. i told him that wasn't fair because all the boys had their shirts off.

cinco: my little brother tore up a paper butterfly i made at school and it made me cry. he didn't care and mom and dad made him apologize. i think it was then i decided he really was a little shit. but i still love him more than anything.

seis: i used to have slumber parties with grandma and grandpa and i would kick them really hard when i was sleeping. sorry guys.

siete: this really is a fact and less of a memory, i has a truly blessed childhood.

that's all for prompt four.
it was fun though. [:

update: starting my shop.



holy smokes. i'm going for it.
i'm just going to be selling prints for a while, but i plan on adding stuff in the future.

i found a local print shop for bigger prints, and i plan on just printing my own smaller prints for awhile.
i also found a paper store, ALL PAPER, aka: heaven.
and i'm hoping they will have some great paper options and packaging options as well.

__________________________________________

on to prompt three:
one habit you wish you didn't have.

constantly tugging on my eyelashes.
i don't know why i do it, but i am trying to get myself to stop.

another is eating for no reason.
FATT-TAY!

and finally,
hitting the snooze button entirely too much.
let's just call that one laziness in general.
i need to get movin'.

[:
no pictures?! whaaaa?
i'll add some later.

favorite season.

prompt two: what is your favorite season and why is it your favorite?

i think it's a tie.
because i LOVE summer.
but i equally love fall.
i think i love fall more because it's like summer with the option of more clothing.

and there's always pumpkin seeds and pumpkin lattes.
yum.



anyway.
i made the first step of actually starting to plan my wedding today.
i asked my mom and adam's mom for guest lists and addresses for the save the dates.

oh my. it begins.

start of 30 days, give or take.

i kind of just started this blog with no rhyme or reason.
i know what i want it to become, but i need to start with baby steps.

so i'm going to do a 30-day "about me", essentially.
i found the prompts over at life in technicolor.

i have a feeling that there will be times when i post more than one prompt at a time.
and times when i change them all together.

so, here goes.

prompt one:
post a recent picture of yourself & the meaning behind your blog name.

here's my photo:


and my blog name is just my name. easy peasy.

more tomorrow! [:
