A Whole Year of... Blogging!

Yes, that's right, I've been blogging for a fantastic year! (Give or take a few days:P)

See? There's only one candle in that (oh-so-yummy) rootbeer float :D  Which was for my birthday but it applies to my little blog as well.

Have some cake or cookies today on me! Weeelll, you can't, but if I could let you I would. It's the thought that counts right? 

I feel obliged to link to my first post, it only has one picture but it's my favorite one:)

(I also use it to host buttons and drawings so I don't accidentally delete them from my computer.)

The First Day

     This was the first day of the rest of my life; just being a year older. It's funny, you always think that it will feel much different to turn "that age" but really, the difference is only you realizing the responsibility that you have now.

Huh, thinking about the possibilities of my future, the responsibilities, and the wonderful ways in which God will work has just got me very... thoughtful; prayerful. 

Whelp, later y'all:)



PS: I did an interview of sorts over at Erin's awesome blog: http://writedreamrunsing.blogspot.com/2013/05/tell-me-eli.html
Take a little look if you feel so inclined:)

Pet Peeves

(Happy May!)

So, yes. These things have been getting on my nerves lately. It takes quite a bit to annoy me, but here are my top five; ranked in no particular order.

Open Doors

This bugs me to no end when I walk in and see every single door open. Don't ask me why, there's just something inherently wrong with that. At least to me:)

Open Cupboards

The same thing as doors, but smaller!

Ladybugs:

It's getting warmer and warmer (it was 40 degrees yesterday!) so the ladybugs have hatched (?) or done whatever they do and now they're back inside. 

They are everywhere, literally, everywhere. Whether alive or dead, they stink. Very badly. Last year there were so many  we had to go around vacuuming the little buggers up. I fear the same may happen this year.

Tangled Earphones

I know they aren't that tangled, I wasn't willing to do that and have to untangle them:P I think another one is tangled Christmas lights! I just thought of that! Ha, yeah that's always a fun time of decorating:)


The last and most certainly my biggest pet peeve:

                                                                 This.

Oh internet. You bring out the best and the worst in us:)

Honorable mention: Deleting things by accident and having no way to get them back. Like, pictures. One-of-a-kind, extra rare, special time-lapse photos. Yes, this just happened to me:(  

So, do any of these things bother you as much as they do me? 
Seriously, I've been posting "grumpy" stuff on here lately, I should do a happy post next time! (Unless something bad happens, then I'll have to do another grumpy post. :P )
