•  Is there someone (not in your family) you would gladly give your life for? my best friend mack, i think. :) 

• Have you ever seen a movie with a part you wished you could re-write? hmm, i'm sure there has been, but i cant think of anything right now! oh wait, prolly a lot of the scenes in 'VDT'. The dialogue wasn't all that great. :/
• Is there one thing you have done that you wish you could change? yes. wasting a whole flippin' year and a half worshipping sinful people other than Jesus, my Savior and Friend.
• Would you rather your house be infested with termites, or have 20 skunks living under your porch? the skunks... definitely the skunks!!
• Have you ever read a book that made you feel incredibly happy? hmm, i dont know. :) prolly the Narnia books, or the books by Karen Kingsbury. Her books are amazing!!!!!
• Have you ever watched a movie that made you feel incredibly sad? yes!! every time i watch 'Prince Caspian' now, i get sad, because i know what's coming - when Peter and Susan (will and anna) leave Narnia forever. *tear sob tear*
• Would you rather have endless riches and be alone, or be extremely  poor and always have company? prolly the riches, because i can stand to be alone. but i also wouldn't mind seeing my family and friends all the time, too!! so i'm not really sure....
• Do you journal? yuppers!! i'm not the most faithful, but i still do. ;)
• Do you have any pets? yes, my baby Jingles. she's the cutest little brown Shih Ztu with four white paws and a snowy white chest/underbelly. :) she's so precious!!!
• What is your favorite part of your house? the family room! that's where the whole fam spends most of our time! its big and spacious and comfy. :D
• Which do you like better: City or country?  oh that's oober hard! i don't think i can decide...

Overalls - Take It or Leave It

Personally, I lovelovelove the look of overalls when they are in shorts form. :)

yeah, the only thing i would take away from this outfit are the heels. i would much rather prefer to go with caramel brown flats. :)

i tried to find a picture of kimberly williams-paisley in 'Father of the Bride 2' wearing a sheer shirt with daisies on it, underneath a pair of overall shorts, but i couldn't find it. it was quite adorable, too!! :/ oh well.

so, the big question:

would you wear overalls?? and why???

Me With Short Hair in '08

 

 

 

I was like 14 or so in these pics. Now I'm going to go get my hair cut and get bunches of short layers! :) Pics to come, I promise!

Happy Saturday!

43 Followers & New Hairstyle

Well actually, I haven't gotten my hair cut yet. But I'm posting a picture of the hairstyle I want. I want bunches and bunches and bunches of short layers all over. :) Cute huh? I love layers.

I'm listening to this wonderful song.

 

Its from 'Father of the Bride'. Best.Movie.Ever. I'm not kidding. :)

And ohmygoodnessgracious, did I mention I have 43 followers?!?! I think I'm gonna die. That's, like, 7 away from 50, which is halfway to 100!!! Wow oh wow oh wow.

 

Well, that's that. I'm going to a bball game tonite. Bleh. I hate bball with a passion.

Anyways.

G'bye!

Love,

Manda

1st Ever Vlog!!!

{beware, this is quite horrible! Meg and I were sorta at a loss for words.... and quite self-concious...}

So, if you couldn't hear all the words, one thing I mentioned was you guys asking me questions and putting them in the comments..  then I could make a 2nd vlog and answer those questions. Its something I've seen other bloggers do, and it looks like fun... I can at least give it a try! :)

Well, Lis is trying to fishtail braid my hair right now, and its soon off to bed for me. G'night all!!

xo,

Manda

the reason i want to delete my blog

is because i get hardly any comments, and also because i'm a horrible blogger. i'm not into photography, and i have a hard time coming up with cute things to blog about. i dunno, those are really the only reasons....

to end this quite depressing post:

nat, me and rach at ugly sweater night at youth group a few months back. no, i didn't participate, even tho i wanted to! i just didn't have an ugly sweater......

I 

 
THINK

 
I'M 

GONNA

DELETE

Whadya think???

Valentine's Day Outfit

I felt like KENDI in this outfit! But to tell you the truth, I actually didn't wear the cardi to school. I should have, I know, cuz it was the perfect touch. Oh well. :/ Ok, on to the pics.

 

So that's that. How was your Valentine's Day? Get anything really special?? I got a rose and card from Felicia, a card with candy from Nat, and a card and candy from Em. :)

Pictures from the Past

Song Stuck in My Head...

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!! If you've seen 'Courageous' then you've heard this song. :)

SuperBowl Sunday

So, we're having company over, just some friends from church, and my outfit consists of an oversized, blue&white striped sweater, baggy cuffed khaki shorts (that are new, i just bought them yesterday from H&M for $7!) and black tights underneath the shorts. :) I pulled my hair into a low pony and pinned back my bangs. Stylish, but comfy - and that's TOTALLY the way to go!!

Enjoy the game, ya'll. I'm rooting for the Giants - who're you rooting for?

Love,
Manda

p.s. outfit pix to come, promise! :)

Adorable Video!

This is hilarious!! Enjoy.

Tryin' 'Em On For Size

 

A few weeks ago, me, my sisters, and some friends, with our moms, went shopping at the mall. I saw this cough-ugly-cough boot, and had Mom take a pic of me standing next to it. Good grief, people, it comes up to my freakin' thigh!!!! How utterly DISGUSTING?!?!!?! I think yes.

 

excuse the stupid look on my face. Mom took the pic before I was ready. Ha! :)

What are some horrific finds you've come across while shopping???

Happy Weekend!!

Love,

Manda

Science Fair, Birthday Pics, Among Other Things

Science Fair was tonight. Its my last year, so do you think I was excited?!?! YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehe I'm sooo happy! And my awesome twin bro got a medal! Whoo hoo for him! :) Ok, here's the two pics.

Left to Right: Ivana, Natalie, me, and Emily.

Me with Natalie, Emily, Rachael, Onna and Sarah at Science Fair. Go sophomore girls!!! :)

Homecoming!!!! :) Hipser vs. Senior Citizien Day. lol

Me and Emily. LOL Insanity Day!!! I didn't dress up cuz we were going to the Art Museum and Chipotle that day. :/

CHIPOTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best.Place.On.Earth. I could eat there for breakfast, lunch & dinner, 24/7. :)

The whole class - well, not all of us. There's the Honors class, but they didn't come. :)

Me and the gals - and - um - Andrew's eye?

Nat and her gigantour burrito! (Oh, and Rach. hehe) For the record, she ate the WHOLE FLIPPIN' THING.

Now, since my birthday was on Homecoming, we went to the game and the H.S. choir & band participated in a Flash Mob. I had soo much fun dancing! For lunch that day, since my dad works at the school, Mom surprised me and Andy with a pizza lunch in Dad's office!! Fun times. :)

Oh, and Nat made me wear that tiara you see on my head. It said 'Its my 18th Birthday!' on it.

the Birthday Kids with Mom!!! :)

Me, Em, and Felicia at the Pep Rally!! :)

 

at the game.

Me and Nat after the game and homecoming ceremony. :)

Yeah, I look not so great. I was oober tired. :) But me and Andy had Buster Brown Dessert with candles in the shape of '18'. :) And then we opened presents. :)

The End.

Manda
