Bonfire: The Newest Scent

3 days, 3 showers and my hair still smells like a bonfire.

I think the smell seeped into my hair cuticles.

Now don't get me wrong, it is one of my most favorite smells but every time I whip my hair back and forth, it's all I smell. 

Anywho..this past Saturday we went out to a friends house about 30 minutes from Nashville. 

We accidentally brought a few thunderstorms with us which are not quite ideal for bonfire's. 

Lucky for us, we also brought some of the beer so we had a quick bevy in the car (parked with no keys in it) while we waited for the storm to pass. 

 The storm passed and we had a great night. 

We learned to shoot guns; a hand gun and a shotgun. 

It was awesome. 

Don't worry, we didn't shoot any animals, just a few empty beer cans.

Oh and yes, that is a man jumping through the fire. Just happen to catch this moment while trying to photograph the bonfire. Boys...

XOXO

Friday's Letters

Dear Work Weeks: For some reason you have been flying by recently and I must say, it’s awesome. Please keep up the good work so it continues to feel like it’s always the weekend.

Dear CMA’s: Thanks for keeping me entertained last night. Blake and Miranda killed it, no surprise there, and all of the performances put a smile on my face. I’m sorry I didn’t get out of work earlier so I could have run my tush down to Bridgestone Arena and stalk some celebs but alas, I’m stuck in this thing called cube life. Also, probably saved myself from getting arrested for hurling my body at certain celebs.

I'm also pretty sure they had one or two or ten drinks. What's up party people?

Dear Hunter Hayes: Why are you so cute. You’re like a perfect little heart throb Barbie and your voice sounds like an angel. I am so happy you won the Best New Artist award.

Dear My Only Wish This Year Pandora Station: Yes I listened to you all the way to work today and yes it will continue for the next two months. Some people are not aware that November 1^st is also a holiday, almost more important that October 31^st, it’s the day I start listening to Christmas music. This morning a little Nick and Jessica duet came on and my heart sank a little…I’ll always have hope they can work it out.

Dear This Weeks Letters: Why are you all about music?

Well my friends, that is it for now. I must get back to work so I can hurry up and get my Friday on!



Saw it. Pinned it. Did it. Halloween Edition.

I had an epiphany last week.

I thought I was a genius and so unique.

I wanted to be the Ninja Turtles for Halloween.

Before you go and burst my bubble, don’t worry, its already been done. I’m well aware (now) that I missed the memo about everyone and their sister already having been the fearless foursome.

However, I didn’t let that stop me.

Last night my dream was fulfilled and I finally got to rock it as Donatello.

I’ve never been one to buy a Halloween costume, I think making the costume is half the fun!

Yes, we could have purchased a Ninja Turtles shirt at almost any store in North America but it was way more fun to put it together ourselves! 

At the last minute we decided to add the tutus but where does one buy a green tutu?

Oh that’s right, one doesn’t buy, one makes!

Off to Pinterest I went to figure out how to craft a green ballerina skirt. (Plus, I now had a reason to link-up with Katie and Steph) I followed these instructions (loosely) and I think they turned out pretty awesome.

Just working in the car...told you it was last minute

finished tutus!

Now I just have to find another reason to wear it.

Christmas is just around the corner, ugly sweater party anyone?

XOXO
