It's Friday!!!

Well.. nearly Saturday, but you get the point.

Today's post is going to be a little different from the High Five ones. I was surfing the internet today and just saw all kinds of things that I wanted and so today is more so a wish list type thing! Why am I doing this? Why do girls always want this and want that? God made us that way! We love to shop and buy new things! I wish there were more thrift stores around.. that's for sure!

1. I would love to get my hands on these ugly/cute rubber boots! These would be perfect for this southern sloshy winter we are having! It has been doing nothing but raining here lately and it's staying kind of chilly! I could also wear these in my large tiny garden! The soil is nice and muddy back there right now. I've got to get a tiller after it when it dries up a little and start preparing it for spring!
2. I could watch these movies over and over again and never get tired of them. These vampire love stories catch my attention to the max! I saw this movie in the theaters and loved it. I will say that this one wasn't as good the previous ones. They made Bella look awful in this movie and it revolved around one thing: her pregnancy and the baby! I can't wait for the next one to come out though!
3. These beautiful colors for spring nail polish! I love busting out the bright and pretty color nail polishes! I remember growing up my best friend would paint her nails a different color every day to match her outfit. I recently started painting my nails a different color every week because between work and me being so hands-on.. they start chipping and looking a little cruddy after a week! I painted them sparkly gold today for mardi gras! I'm ready for Easter now.. according to these colors! haha!
4. The new Tom's flats! Aren't these precious? I love flats. I have about 10 pairs of flats and I love them! I've never been a big wearer of the heels.. Although I need to be because i'm 5'4. I have a pair of Toms now but they're the regular ones that are old news.. I still wear them a lot because they're so comfortable and cute.. but mine are black with white graffiti and I'm the type of person who has to match everything.. ugh. I will own a pair of these flats one day.
5. This urban decay palette needs to be mine! I already have their "Naked" one and I use it almost every day but it has only browns on it.. well it has a black but I don't know how to use black eye shadow without making my eyes look ridiculous.. So I stick to the others. Urban decay is an awesome brand that lasts forever!!! It's really pricey though. eek!
6. Oster Myblends blender! I want this so bad. I made a banana/almond/oatmeal smoothie not too long ago that was to die for.. My blender doesn't blend ice very well though so I need this little gadget! I love orangeeeee! The container that it blends in is the cup itself that you can tote around with you to wherever! It's pretty neat.
7. I want a big jar of buttons. You can put buttons on anything and make it look cute! Especially all of these colorful ones! I am trying to get back into sewing (I just don't have a lot of time on my hands) and so these will come in handy while I'm throwing things together with my sewing machine! I'm currently working on a quilt I'm making out of all of my old t-shirts from high school that no longer fit! It's not going to be perfect because I'm still learning, but it will be special! :D I'll have to do a post about that quilt when I'm finished.. Won't be anytime soon though.
8. Isn't this comforter gorgeous?! It has perfect colors for spring/summer! I have had the same comforter on my bed for over a year now... but that's just because it matches my book shelves, computer desk, carpet, and rugs.. as I stated earlier.. I like to match everything! I need to let this go. It's time for some spoof in my life! Right?
9. Nike running shoes! Justin's mom gave me a pair of white Nike women's running shoes and they're the only shoes I can wear on the treadmill at the gym without them giving me shin splints and what not. However, they are a little uncomfortable because they are a little too small, but I'm stretching them out for what they're worth because I don't want to spend 50 dollars on some new shoes! Do you agree? ughh. The life of a college kid..
10. I want this gorgeous pearl ring! I have been wanting a pearl ring for I don't know how long. hint hint Justin.. Pearls are just gorgeous.. I honestly don't even care if it's real! Of course I would love a "real" pearl ring, but they all are the same to me. I'm not really a designer/materialistic girl. I wear just about whatever. Please come into my life soon, beautiful pearl ring!


While I've been day dreaming on the internet and wishing to have things that I probably will never get, how did you spend your Friday? Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Lauren

High Five for Friday!

Hey guys!
What did you enjoy most from this week? I remembered to bring my computer with me to my grandma's so that I could still keep up with the blogs I follow and keep mine up to date! It's raining today in south Mississippi and cold! It hasn't been too cold all winter! crazy..

Here's five things I enjoyed from this week!
This dark purple nail polish is on my nails now! Gorgeousss!
We cut up an extremely ripe honeydew melon!
My new Nine West wedges!!! I got the brown ones. Super cute!
I watched the princess diaries this week! Loveee. Brings back many memories.

This Lady Antebellum song rocks! They keep amazing me with their songs. Beautiful voices!

Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend! I'm spending it at my Grandma's!

HIGH FIVE FOR FRIDAY!

Here's my second high five for Friday post! I'm keeping up pretty well for now! :D
Here are a couple of things I liked/enjoyed from this week! Don't laugh if it's mostly food! I'm on a diet and food is just the best thing everrrr!

I discovered this in the small clearance section at Kroger the other day! I only got one bottle though and I wish I would have bought all of them! I got it for $1.09 and organic anything runs real high! It is so delicious and made with natural ingredients! The sugar content isn't too nice to look at, but it's because of the fruits! All fruits have high sugar! It's acceptable!
American Idol auditions are going on right now! That's always the best part to me! I hear all of these people say they're waiting til they go to Hollywood to watch it; well they're missing out on the best parts! GO SKYLAR LAINE FROM BRANDON, MISSISSIPPI! Always root for the person from my town!
I have a new love for Louisiana Hot Sauce. I bought Justin a pack of 4 different hot sauces for Christmas because he absolutely love hot sauce.... well they aren't so tasty! They're so hot and have no flavor that putting the "Texas Tail Torcher" one on my dinner the other night took all of the taste of the actual food away. My mouth was on fire foreverrr! I had run out of LA hot sauce and just got around to buying some more the other day! I was missing it so much I bought a bigger bottle than usual!!!
This picture is kind of lame, I know. My best friend Brittany from kindergarten-7th grade moved to TN the summer before we went into 8th grade. I have missed her dearly and lost contact with her last February. Yesterday while doing Literature homework I had a sudden urge to try my hardest to find a way to reach her! I wrote letters to the two addresses I found online on white pages then decided to call 411! They found a number and her mom picked up! Brittany was at her mom's house at the time that I called and I got to talk to her for an hour! Found out she is having a baby boy next Thursday! Man! A lot of things happen in a little amount of time! I sure miss her and was glad to be able to reach her again!
Lastly! This bomb pasta salad I made about an hour ago! I have been meaning to make a homemade pasta salad for like a week now. I bought all of the things to make it and am just now getting around to doing it on this rainy day! It is so good and good for you! I've tried not to be too awful strict on this diet go-round! I've still managed to lose weight and keep up the exercise! I even made homemade dressing to go on it! I'll have to post the recipe for this tomorrow! It's THAT good!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and be careful with the crazy weather! I am about to head off to work in this rain! Wish rain boots were acceptable at work! I could pull off some crazy fashion! :P

HIGH FIVE FOR FRIDAY!

I guess I will get with this high five for Friday posting. Here is a list of the five things I liked/enjoyed most this week!

40 Hour work week! Yay for business!
Banana Oatmeal Almond smoothie! Good Breakfast!
This braided bangs ponytail thing! I've worn my hair like this nearly 3 times this week for work!
Lean Cuisine butternut squash ravioli! Normally I hate frozen dinners because they taste so fake I guess you could say. This one is delicious!
