What time is it??

ADVENTURE TIME!! 

So here's how it went...

It was a beautiful day out. I had to work. Of course, right? So on what seems to be the last nice day for a while, I'm stuck inside with no windows. Luckily enough, however, I got out of work early. So I ran straight home (yup.straightsprinted), got my adventure clothes, camera, newest book, and headed out to the river. What happened later was to be expected.

I frolicked. For hours I climbed, crouched, jumped, fell, and read. It was an extremely beautiful day and I was joined by many a jogger and biker. None who wanted to be in my pictures though. :/ This is the bike path that goes through South Elgin along the river. Used to be where Liz and Wrigley roamed, but now it's where I go almost every day and each time I walk or bike it, I find new places that I want to capture. In the picture above is this luscious patch of tall soft grass. I laid out my jacket and read for a little bit.

Top: No idea.
Bottoms: Thrift

Tights: Forever 21
Earrings: Goodwill
Book: Through a Dark Mist. Don't know anything about it. Just grabbed it. S'alright.

 Finally, after many different locations, I came upon the spot I had longed for.

The worst part, though, was having to turn around and go back.

But tomorrow is another day. Another day that I have off. Another day that will probably be rainy... YAY! So now I'm back home, alone, comfy in Max's game room, with music blasting, and The Lorax waiting to be watched. Hope you are all having a great day. Anna needs to make a big, HUGE post about our mom's stay. She'll be home on Sunday. :)

Spring has sprung!

 Spring is here and it wants EVERYONE to know! Ya know what? I'm good with that. haha I'm LOVING this weather and all the freshness of the grass, trees, flowers! The colors! Oh my, the colors! I love Spring and it's 70's - 80's here so it's an amazing time to enjoy it! Check out my enjoying-spring dance. :]








Party down.

This dress I found in Anna's closet. One of the many items that didn't make it to Korea with her. Her loss! And I made some adjustments to it as well. It used to have sort of puffy long sleeves and earlier today I slowly undid the thread and liked what resulted in the end! I don't think she'll be too upset. I never saw her wear it and now it's a cute spring time dress for me to enjoy! :]

I kept my make up really natural today as well. I only had on mascara and some lip gloss that gave my lips a more reddish color that I really liked. ALSO! Guess who's 2nd birthday was on Sunday??! Happy birthday, little Storm! Can't believe she's two! I told her she has to start acting her age. No more chasing the cats or barking at other dogs, but so far she hasn't listened. Just like a 14 year-old (in dogs years) would act, so I guess she is acting her age! har har har

Ahh. Glimpse of Spring.

Today was an amazingly beautiful day! Sunday night it's snowing big huge flakes and today, tuesday, it's 60 degrees and windy as all hell! But I loved it. I was itching to get out of class today so I could take Storm for a walk and enjoy the weather before I had to go to work. This was my first attempt at a photo shoot without Anna or anyone! I liked what I got except for the arm shadows I was casting upon myself. haha But I'm okay with it for now. I also had the tripod for assistance which I kind of liked. I feel a little less awkward when it's just me and my camera. :]

Spring is on its way which means tax returns $$$, shopping <3<3<3, and more short skirts! That's all anyone wants, really. haha Actually, I could take some more bad weather. That'll help me concentrate on school more instead of wishing I was outside reading! I'm just trying to adjust to Mother Nature's crazy schedule!

What I'm mostmostmost excited about at the moment is that Spring brings the end of my last semester @ ECC, a new job career, and SPRING WEDDINGS! Two already upcoming on the calender. I. LOVE. WEDDINGS! I love LOVE! And I love sharing in the love of two people who are meant to be together. Plus, maybe, the dressing up, dancing, drinking, being obnoxious. hahaha!

I hope Anna's doing okay.. HAHA Just kidding! I know she is and I can't wait to visit her! I'm going to try to wait it out a bit though so I won't be missing her x10 worse after I get back... just x5. ;] LOVED those pictures though and our late night (for me) video/facebook chats. I love you, seeeester.

All for now,
Marybeth
