Oh my beautiful baby blog!

   How I have missed your sweetness the last few weeks month! Seriously, I haven't posted because I've been so gosh dang busy. Between crazy work hours, school, laundry, Charlotte, etc. I've been nonstop since I got home from Spring Break. Which I suppose is a good thing considering it made the time go by very quickly and now it is only two weeks until I'm back with my other half. Swoon!

Alrighty, so let's take a real quick lookie-lu through the things I've crossed off or almost crossed off of my list. This might help me feel a tad more accomplished right now:

6. Go to Disney: Check!

8. Go to Boulder, CO: Tickets are purchased and ready to go! Sooo it's In Process.

15. Buy a calligraphy pen and learn how to use it: In Process! Hunter's Mommy bought me the set and I've played with it, but need more practice.

16. Get a puppy: Check check and triple check! AloooooHA Miss Charlotte!

26. Go to a bonfire: Checked over Spring Break.

28. Take Remi/new puppy for more walks: Check! We walk all the time, even if it's just to the mailbox.

30. Find the perfect "LBD": Supercheck! Not only was it on sale, it's a Rodarte for Target piece. Sorry this is the best picture we got of it with just moi!

35. Revamp my underwear collection: SO superchecked it's not even funny. If it weren't indecent I would totally post pictures of them, they're so cute!

37. Grow out my nails enough to get a manicure: It's official! I haven't seriously bitten my nails since February!





I know I've attempted more so far, but figured I'd get my list of major things I've crossed off written out. Now it's off to bed for me, I'm going to be super busy this next week or so until summer. Two more week two more weeks!! XOXO.

M-I-C K-E-Y! MOUSE!

   See that? That's me! At Disney! I got to cross off a 110 in 2010 list item! My Aunt Mer and Uncle Dan bought me tickets for my 19th birthday, and I used the first to go to Magic Kingdom over Spring Break with them and two of my friends. I had such a fun time there, I felt like a little kid again. I got pictures with lots of the Princesses, but I can't wait to go back to get the rest.
Aurora and me
Cinderella asked me if my fairy Godmother made my pretty dress
Snow White had the highest pitched voice I had ever heard, I wish I could have recorded it
Ariel is my favorite Princess, mostly because she has red hair and is a mermaid!
   And finally me, at the end of a long, lovely day. Notice my "Happy Birthday Skye!" button and my tons of pins! I actually gained three more pins since I took the picture. I searched for the Baby Ariel one the entire day, and finally found her (to match the Baby Prince Eric) at the last store I went to as I was buying a Princess license plate. The best part of the entire search was when I told the Boyfriend about it. I was saying how cute it was because I was like Ariel and he could be Prince Eric. He proceeded to tell me that Eric was a "douche" because he has sex with a fish and an octopus and wears dumb clothes AND that if he was anybody, it would be the Mad Hatter (the old one of course, he hates Johnny Depp). So now I'm on the search for a Mad Hatter pin to go with Ariel instead of Eric. Sheesh!
   The button got me lots of special attention, the entire day I heard "Happy Birthday Princess Skye!" from all of the castmembers and sometimes just random people. It was super exciting because on my real birthday I changed my oil and went to class and was more cranky than anything. the whole day was full of happy and more happy, so it made up for it. The only bad part was how absolutely embarrassed I got when they SANG to me! Literally you guys, they woman stopped the whole restaurant so they could sing. I wanted to crawl under my table! I guess that's what you get for wearing a pin that announces your birthday though..
   Alrighty, I'm off to the Cottonmouths Hockey game now, nails painted bright red and fancy dress and red boots. Walking contradiction, eh? (That was me being Canadian for a second, hehe) Go Snakes Go! Hopefully we win tonight! I'll probably post more Spring Break pictures soon, but honestly I hardly took any besides Disney. Maybe I'll just post some more random ones. XOXO!

Bonjour mon chiot!

Enchante mes bichettes! Je m'appelle Charlotte! Or for all of you un-fancy people: Nice to meet you dears, I'm Charlotte!
  I was born back in January to a Cocker Spaniel mommy and a Poodle-Chihuahua daddy (making me an adorable Cockapoo). I grew up in a house with my brothers and sisters and then took a roadtrip down to meet my new humans. I snuck into a dorm room and everything! My new home is very big, but I'm getting used to the stairs.
  The first night I was home my humans put me into the bathtub! Look how silly they made me look:
How embarrassing! I did smell better at least, and that was pleasurable. I think next time I have a bubble bath I'll be buying some Pet Head or possibly splurging on some yummy John Paul Pet. They smell so good! Mommy says I need all of my puppy shots before I can go shopping though.
   Luckily my Mommy went shopping for me. She bought an adorable collar for me, but we think it's magical because I always end up falling asleep when it's on me. I was also gifted with a pretty pink frisbee, some chewy sticks, a squeaky sheep, and a pink ropey toy.
   Well it was very nice to meet you all! I will probably be taking over my fancy Mommy's blog in the future, so look forward to hear from me! I'll leave you with a few more pictures to fawn over:
With Mommy and Remi before my bath.
Eating a pansy in my yard. Miam Miam! as the French say.
Attacking my mommy. Sometimes we get silly and I lick her face.
Rawrrr! I was trying to eat Mommy's camera strap.
And this last one was taken by Mamma Dee. She thought I'd make a cute Wahine.
Enjoy! XOXO Charlotte
Oh and P.S. Excusez-moi for my bad grammar this evening. Mommy is still sleepy from the time change and is having a bit of difficulty translating my puppy French into English. RĂªves doux!

A very merry Unbirthday to me!

Happy Birthday OhmySkye!

Yes, me! Alright, so I'm a wee bit late seeing as my birth"day" ended 35ish minutes ago, but still. I turned nineteen years old! I feel so dreadfully ancient thinking that this is my last teenage year. Sheesh, where has the time gone? I have lots and lots more to share, but I'm going to wait for a bigger birthday post until next week (after I go down to Florida and celebrate more). Until then, I more than likely will be slow on the posts. I'm super swamped with homework and such, and I've got to pack and do laundry and a whole boatload of other tasks on my ToDo list. A bientot mes bichettes! XOXO.

Let Them Eat Cake;

   I know this has been circulating around the blogosphere lately, but I had to share. Who wants to dress up a la dearest Marie and throw pretty pastries around with me?!
Enjoy! I'm off to Philosophy, XOXO.

Sweet Nothings: Snow Edition!

   I wish I could've just paused time that day. It was so gorgeous outside! I felt like I had just stepped into Narnia or a fairy realm or something equally spectacular. So here goes, ten of my beautiful snowy photographs:

  
 
My Alpaca hat! given to me by that cute boyfriend of mine.
 
 
My poor snowy car did SO much driving that weekend. 
Oil change, here we come!
 
  
  
  
There's a much better sequence of pictures for this,
but I thought this face summed it up.
 
 
   You'll probably see me use more, but I had to limit myself to ten for this post. Otherwise, you would've gotten all three hundred or so in one post! and anyway, Sweet Nothings always only have ten pictures. XOXO.
P.S! I got to cross off #101 on my list!

Happy Snow Day!

 
I steal most of my pictures from here. How cute is this little snow-couple?!
    Oh my gosh you guys, it's actually going to snow tomorrow. REAL LIVE SNOW! (compared to that fake stuff at Celebration)Now, granted, I am in no way excited to be delivering flowers in it and driving around on yucky ice, but still. It's going to snow! And I can build snow-people and take pretty snow pictures and it'll be so sparkly out! Anyway, just thought I'd tell ya'll because it hardly ever snows here in mid-Georgia. Have a lovely snow day! XOXO.

    Sparkly Saturday!

    With my equally fancy Mamma.
       Alright, so it's techhhhnically not Saturday anymore, but I still felt like sharing; Our Saturday was a lovely array of fanciness. I finally took a day off of work and everything else. I awoke at noon and rolled out of bed and down the stairs. I spent the "morning" organizing my closet. It may not sound like the most relaxing thing ever, but it totally was for me. Walking into a neat, clean room is so relaxing. I feel like I'm so on top of it all now. (I'll have to add some fabulous photos!) And what better way to feel nice and relaxed than getting a shower with super yummy bath stuff from, where else? Lush.
       Apres, I talked to my Beau for a while and then Mamma cooked our dinner:
     
    Tres delicieuse! Eggs Benedict is my very favorite breakfast, but even better as dinner!
       We began to watch Julie&Julia and Mamma began to make Vanilla Bean cupcakes. And those little sweet cakes? Absolutely delectable! I put extra pink sprinkles on mine, because I'm fancy. I went upstairs and made my bed, then crawled in and got comfy.
       And today? I did a LOT of work. I took off yesterday, but that meant I worked 10 to 6 today instead. I watched the Superbowl while painting my toenails (walking contradiction, anyone?) and Who Dat!? the Saints won! Dudes, you don't even understand how white I sound when I say that!!
       So let me show you a couple cute things that are totally Sparkly Saturday/Sunday worthy:

    Tarina Taratino "Electric Koolade" necklace! It's so colorful! It's so hippie chic! It's AMAZING!
       And then I was looking around the web and found this super cute song, so I had to share the lyrics. I'd share the song itself, but I honestly err.. didn't really like it. It was cute, but I thought the lyrics were more worthy of a better song? If that makes sense? Anyway, here goes. The song is called "Boats and Birds" by Gregory and the Hawk:
    "If you'll be my star
    I'll be your sky
    You can hide underneath me and come out at night
    When I turn jet black and you show off your light
    I live to let you shine
    I live to let you shine

    But you can skyrocket away from me
    And never come back if you find another galaxy
    Far from here with more room to fly
    Just leave me your stardust to remember you by

    If you'll be my boat
    I'll be your sea
    A depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity
    Ebbing and flowing and pushed by a breeze
    I live to make you free
    I live to make you free

    But you can set sail to the west if you want to
    And past the horizon till I can't even see you
    Far from here where the beaches are wide
    Just leave me your wake to remember you by"
     XOXO.
