christmas came.

Merry belated Christmas everyone!

I've been plagued with a really nasty sinus infection since last Tuesday. When I haven't been laying in bed, I've been lounging around on the couch under blankets. This has caused me to watch way too many episodes of Boy Meets World on youtube, and taken me back to my ten or eleven year old self. Well, it is winter vacation after all, right?

Christmas came and went somewhere within the last week, and it was an enjoyable time. Even through the three and a half boxes of tissues and two toilet paper rolls I went through by blowing my nose. I managed to get into a walk-in clinic on Monday and got a good dose of antibiotics. A shot, a steroid to make sure the shot does its job, an antibiotic AND cough medicine. So naturally, I am on the mend.

We still managed to have fun and put our new Christmas games to good use. Can anyone say Intense Jenga? We can!
And! We got this fun game called Headbanz...anyone heard of it? We can tell you all about it. It brought us much side splitting laughter. Whether you're actually playing it, or just watching from the side lines, you can't help but let out a hearty laugh.

My most favorite Christmas gift looks a little something like this...

I'm already addicted. I've barely been able to put the little device down. I've seriously got it really bad. I believe in Apple. Thanks Steve Jobs!

And now you'll all get to see what I've snapped in Instagram so far. Love that little app.

How did you spend your Christmas?

weekend adventures.

This past weekend was a good one.
It didn't include homework, or worrying about homework.
It did include spending time with my most favorite step-sister, though.
Seriously...the girl is the best ever.

I hadn't seen her since before I left for the summer, so her visit was long over due. We decided that we would have a girls day out while she was here, and that's just what we did.

First we went to Target, then we made a stop at Starbucks where I tried pumpkin spice for the first time. Sadly, I'm not a believer. It was just way too sweet, and too pumpkiny (is that even a word?) for my liking. Sad news.
Then we drove around randomly, just because we could, and ran into this butterfly garden in the middle of nowhere. We seriously spent at least an hour there exploring and taking photos. It was the best!

I love Sarah. There is seriously no one that can make me laugh harder than that girl can. I'm grateful for her.

What did you do with your weekend?

secret spot.

Hope you're all having a great weekend!

What did you do with your Saturday?

the past couple of weeks in picture.

I've been snapped a few photos over the past couple of weeks that sort of explains what has been going on in my life lately. I figured it would be kind of fun to share them with you guys, so here you go!

Cold weather. Christmas baking. Christmas wrapping. Christmas music. Christmas decorations. I'm definitely in the Christmas spirit these days. It seems as if I've happily turned into a Christmas elf.

What have you been doing for the days leading up to Christmas?
