52 Weeks - Week 7

I simply have thee worst luck taking photographs with my Polaroid...I attempted to take two pictures of my kitty and neither of them turned out. I had perfect sunlight coming through, my camera set correctly...and it just comes out black. So I step outside and go straight to this, take a picture, and it turns out perfect! Ay ay ay! I guess I'll just have to ask Santa for an Instax for Xmas this year... ;)

52 Weeks - Week 6

This photo was taken last Saturday. I took this photo on the way back home from picking up my nephew from his football game. This was also the day we found out my cousin, Nick passed away. I really love this photograph. I took it while we were driving and I'm impressed at how well it turned out. 

Last night, I had shaved my grandma's head. She has cancer. She found out she had cancer about a month after my father found out he had cancer. My grandma is holding up quite well under the circumstances. She recently had to go back for chemo, and seeing that this is a stronger dosage, her hair is now falling out. She got this super cute wig. I love how it looks on her. I think she looks great! 

Just a heads up, I'll be taking a break from Bookworm Thursday. Life has been crazy at the moment. I'll let you all know when it will return. 

xo. 

52 weeks - Week 5 and 10 Facts Tuesday!

Hey guys! I'm really sorry about not posting yesterday, or really this weekend for that matter. Everything has just been a mess at home since my cousin passed. So please be patient because some of my posts may be delayed. I'm trying my oh so hardest not to delay them though, so with further ado, 52 weeks!

My dear Bennie, and Lady photobombing in the back, hehe. I for some reason can't stop photographing this cat!! He's by baby. Cute and cuddly and oh so sweet. He consoles me when I'm down (how weird for a cat, well, maybe not). Last night I was sad and he just snuggled up in my arms and kept my heart warm. What I wouldn't do without this guy in my life. Oh, why aren't you human???

\\ 10 Facts About Yours Truly //

I can wiggle my eyeballs. It grosses out sooo many people when I do it, I think it's hilarious. 

When me and my brother were little, we would take his Hot Wheel cars and put them in the road for cars to run them over. We'd sit on the couch looking out the window to watch if anyone would do it. And when they did, we'd run out and grab the cars. We'd line them up in the back yard. Oh dangerous kids we were. 

My favorite Spice Girl (oh how I miss them so) was Sporty Spice. I loved everything about her. My friends and I would all pick our favorite gals and then dress up as them and put on Spice Girl concerts for the neighborhood. It was soooo much fun! I miss those days a lot.

I love writing. I wish I could write a fiction novel one day, something completely unreal and quirky. I always doubt myself and scrap all my ideas before I get them written down. One day I will fulfill my dreams of being a writer. 

I really hate when I get interrupted. It's a HUGE pet peeve of mine. If I lose concentration on something, I get pretty angry. I don't take it out on anyone, but I sit and brood, haha. Got to love being a girl with temper tantrums! 

As I've stated in my About Me, I am a HUGE Pink Floyd fan. I have to thank my dad for introducing them to me and finding my true love in classic rock. I hear the same Pink Floyd songs on the radio every.single.day. and you'd think I'd get sick of them, right? Nope, I just love them more. They bring me to peace and make me feel like I'm sitting right next to my dad jamming out. Oh, I miss that! :)

I just learned how to use iMovie the other day, and I'm in LOVE. I had no idea what I was doing (last time I used it was in middle school, like I'm going to remember that far back). I sat there knowing what I wanted to do, and it worked exactly how I wanted it to. How does that work? This is why I love Apple products so much, you don't need a how to manual, you just need common sense :)

I can't walk in high heels to save my life. I love the look of them, especially Mary Jane's, but I'm so uncoordinated that I look like I'm going to fall off a cliff when I wear them. I get too self conscious in them too because then I'm usually over 6 feet tall after I have them on so I feel like a giant. But I can sit and adore them anyway. They're just so pretty, I wish I could wear them. Perhaps one day, right!?

I can learn things extremely fast. I wish I was like this in High School. Back then, I just didn't care. I'd get through the day just because I had to. Now, I just love absorbing everything around me. I get fascinated so easily, I kind of remind myself of me when I was 5.

I always wear a sweater or long sleeves. No matter what the temperature is, I have to have something on my arms. I'm really self conscious of them and feel that they need to be covered at all times. Not to mention, I'm ALWAYS cold. So it's a win win! 

Again, sorry for the delayed posts. Tomorrow I will be showing you all my favorite polishes from my collection. I can't wait :) 

xo.

ps. Give your family members and close friends a hug and let them know how much you love them. You never know when someone's days may be their last. I know I'll be doing that today and everyday after . <3

52 Weeks - Week 4

I apologize ahead of time on the quality of this photo. This is our newest edition, Bernard...aka Berny (subject to change). He is a 7 week old Bangal who has a loud mouth! I never heard such meows come out of a cat before. One second it sounds like he's barking, the next it sounds like he's cawing. No cute kitten meows out of this little guy. 

He is unlike any kitten we've ever had. He's so different. Strange even. We found an ad in the paper for him. He was located in the middle of no where (literally) on a farm. We were so excited to see the kittens when we pulled in. We seen Peacocks roaming around, ducks, geese and a lot of other animals. I thought it was sooo neat to see all these different types of animals....until they showed us where the cats were. 

These kittens (and TONS more) were located in a shed next to their house. It was the most disgusting, terrible, inhumaine place I've EVER seen in my life. We've had a lot of pets throughout our lifetime, and we've rescued many from all over the place, but this is thee WORST place I've ever seen. There were cats, dogs, puppies, kittens, ducks and others in cages. They were dirty, smelly, unkept and flea riden. I almost cried, really. I am SO SO SO SO SO against animal cruelty, keeping animals in cages (other than gerbils, you get the idea). It was everything I never stood for. These cats never knew real household sounds. This cat has been nothing but terrified since we've brought him home. Everything scares him and it really hurts to see that. We are planning on turning these people in. And I know you're probably thinking, why would you buy from these people? To get an innocent animal out, that's why. I wish we could have taken all the animals they had stuffed in those disgustingly dirty cages. It breaks my heart. They were all calling out for attention, love. Something it seems they've never had. It was like a factory. Animals mate, punch out a litter, and BAM, they make money. So sick. 

If you ever see a situation like this, don't be afraid to CALL and report them. Animals should never be in cages and treated like a business deal.

52 Weeks - Week 3

This photo is apart of the color film pack I had bought, along with the black and white film. I only had a small handful develop out of the color film because I had no clue what I was doing, plus I think I ruined the film by overexposing it. This is one of my favorite shots that (kind of) turned out. It's of my hanging owl hot plates, a Halloween Kitty that was my mom's for at least 30 years, and a cross that was hung in my dad's casket when he passed away. I love the lighting and how the coloring turned out. I can't wait to order more color film to experiment with it!

52 Weeks - Week 2

I was looking all over the place what I wanted to take a picture of. Benny is so photogenic, I couldn't let this photo-op pass me by. I'm so excited how this one turned out. I think it's my favorite photo so far! He's beautiful.

He's so silly.

I love his eyes. 

52 Weeks of Polaroid

Well, it's here! This will be our annual fun Monday post! I'm hoping to incorporate more of an organized posting schedule, and this is a great way to start! Every Monday I will be posting an instant photo that I've taken with my Polaroid Automatic 240. Even if they are bad, good or amazing, they'll be up every Monday for the next year. I hope you're just as excited as I am!! So here we are:

This photo I took of the beautiful apple trees at the apple farm the other day. I love how mysterious this photo is. I still need to practice how to perfect my camera, but I'm really happy how this photo turned out! <3 Do you have an instant camera? Isn't it hard to take a picture of something really special?
