15. Feet

2014-08-15T16:41:00.001-04:00

My feet.
They hurt.
I've been standing in a field on this beautiful day watching cars race by.
Da. Bomb.

14. Off to the races!

2014-08-14T18:02:00.001-04:00

Today was packing, procrastinating and finally off to the race track with my family for the weekend!

Ta!

13. Work Clothes Galore

2014-08-13T16:16:00.001-04:00

Waking up early (?) to go shopping for work clothes which was a wonderful and traumatic experience. I normally don't have good luck with shopping but I was persistent this time (I have some crazy weeks of work coming up and I neeeedz new clothes) and I won!
Winning is good.

Ta!

12. Video Time

2014-08-12T20:43:00.001-04:00

Today felt like it was productive... on the up side, it was better than yesterday. I filmed and edited a whole video! And I have proof.

Now it's babysitting and Scrubs time. Booohyah

11.

2014-08-11T10:50:00.001-04:00

A slow morning with Essie Button's vlog of her and Aslan's travels through Denmark (right now)... it makes me want to travel so badly! Soon, soon.
All with my little (or huge really) cup of coffee and some frozen sweet cherries.
:-)

Then I watched Emma (by Jane Austen) and later tonight I had a nice ride around on my bike to look at houses in my area that I can't afford.

10. A Sunday for Good

2014-08-11T00:49:00.001-04:00

Today was a day of Church (and waiting around for praise team practice to finish), a beautiful service, lunch which was delicious, and a four hour nap.
Then off to see the grandparents and some Sims3 and Lara Croft.

9. More Mowing

2014-08-09T17:12:00.000-04:00

I forgot to take pictures of this day.

So here's one of just me. Tired, hot and sweaty.

But happy to have found a day to actually shower.

I mowed the lawn today, and helped my dad work on our car.

It wasn't the most fantastical of days, but I do enjoy when I can hang out with him and work side by side. Family is good.

I've recently become re-obsessed with Tomb Raider on my xbox... so that's what I'm going to go do now. Lara needs me. We're saving the day and stuff.

;-)

Don't be afraid to be a little nerdy.

8. Garage Gold

2014-08-08T21:31:00.001-04:00

Today was tiring, but good. My mother and I went on a long garage saling trek and found many gems.
Then I resisted napping! Until like an hour ago ;-)

Happy weekend

7. Career Candy

2014-08-07T21:54:00.001-04:00

I got exciting news about my job today, news about just exactly how busy I'll be. And it seems that I'll be incredibly busy! What joy. Also my order from Physicians Formula came in and I only ordered on Sunday! I love how quickly they ship. I hope to make a vlog soon reviewing my new mascara. We'll see.
Then working late tonight and now home for Sims3 and relaxing. :-)

6. The Longest of Rides

2014-08-06T16:04:00.001-04:00

Today has been a positive one. I preordered the Sims 4 which makes me nervous since I wasn't sure if I would like it or not! But I've been watching some vids and I'm getting excited.
I also filmed a video for tomorrow and I'm currently editing it too. I hit 12,000 miles on my bike and had a great ride with my mother! I had a good day, and I hope you have too.

5. Laundry

2014-08-05T22:49:00.001-04:00

Nope. That's it. Just laundry today. And Scrubs!

4. Bikes and Books

2014-08-04T14:30:00.001-04:00

My day has consisted of the longest motorcycle ride ever, getting delicious raspberry tea and listing a ton of books on my eBay store. My day is an improvement compared to the weekend I've just had, even though I'm still dealing with stuff, there's always something good to focus on instead of the hard stuff.
Here's to you kid.

3. A Day of Sleep

2014-08-03T22:12:00.001-04:00

Today has been a day of Church, and sleep. Sleep sleep sleep. Feeling a bit better than yesterday, but still not righted.
Still, Hercule Poirot is on Masterpiece tonight and that makes all things better.
No popcorn to betray me.

2. Saturday

2014-08-02T22:59:00.001-04:00

This day hasn't been the most awesome, my emotions are a but hard to handle right now. But I'm getting through. Popcorn helps. Nope. The popcorn has turned on me, I just dropped my phone in it and it spilled everywhere.

1. And it Begins

2014-08-01T10:42:00.001-04:00

Hello Lovelies,

I'm just coming off of a good long month of making videos every day on my YouTube channel.
Now, to keep in touch and to keep a little account of my life, I'm going to start a Picture a Day series.

This day:
Marked by the acquisition of this completely adorable impulse buy!
Also a tiff with my cousin, and the hopes of receiving good news concerning my career. But tonight is family pizza night and all worries will be forgotten. That's what some good pizza can do for you ;-)

Starting in August!

2014-07-29T19:45:00.001-04:00

Hello my lovelies,

Starting this August (yes that does actually mean on Friday in 3 days) I am going to be starting a new project!
as you will see by my ticker on the right, I am just finishing up a series on my YouTube channel. On there as been vlogging every single week day in July, doing a how to series.
I think I'm actually gonna miss doing something everyday. It's been a lot of fun and I've done a lot of great things. So I've been thinking about what new projects start, and I've been inspired by my friend on facebook who has been doing a picture every day during her 25th year. That made me think, because I don't write in a diary anymore, and I'm not going to vlog every day that's way too big of a commitment right now... so I'm going to take a page out of her play book and upload a picture everyday that kind of encapsulates what's my day has been about or one amazing thing that happened. and I think it's going to be really fun way to document kind of how life goes and how it develops and how things change.

I think this will be especially poignant this year because I'm at a point where I'm starting to look for a house of my own I'm really becoming an adult (lol) and I've just been working on developing who I am as a person.

But my sappy stuff is over for right now hahaha, I am done until next year at this time when I write a post kind of recapping all that's happened.

I hope you guys enjoy and that we can share some fun things together!
see you on Friday!

Small Hiatus

2014-05-13T15:45:00.002-04:00

Hey Lovelies!

The title pretty much says it all, but I'm going on a small hiatus from the blog while I get my YouTube channel up and running smoothly!

Thanks for understanding!

Lydia

Favorite Fridays: 109

2012-12-08T19:19:00.001-05:00

Turns out, I miss counted somehow (?!) when I started doing the numbered posts, and I got one number ahead of myself! I just got too darned excited I guess.

I love this new little style (that i guess isn't too new anymore) of the peter pan collar. and this little accesory is the best, cause then you just throw it on over any shirt and it makes it adorable and fashionable! How sweet!

this little gem is from Sammydress.com, who I've used twice now and I've found to be reliable, though two times isn't really a "long and tested relationship", still... as long as I am patient and realize that they're in CHINA and therefore the shipping time is SUPER DUPER LONG to get to my house, then I'm okay.

:-)

I do suggest paying the extra buck or two to have the tracking number cause that would have saved me some anxiety with my last purchase if I could have just SEEN where in the world (literally) it was!

This collar is only five bucks, and comes in white and black... but honestly, I prefer the white one, cause I think it is the right "feel" for the style. Anyway! This isn't a sales pitch, honestly, I get nothing if you like this item or not... I'm just sharing my love! ah!

Get ready for this next super cute find,

These rings!

AH!

Okay so I guess that they're technically mice, but when I look at them, I always think "cat!"

so.... that's okay! I have a pair of little horse earrings that I imagine to be donkeys! Cause it's your life and your stuff and it can be what ever you want it to be!

ANYWAY,

these are super adorable, and I may have to spend some birthday mula on these little cutie pies.

They're super inexpensive, of course, and if I'm reading the description right, you get an assortment of five when you buy them!

I can't wait to try them out and play with layering them too!

ALSO I am making inquiries as we speak about their sizing situation... and if they're adjustable or not... so we shall see! *fingers crossed*

Have a fab day and enjoy your weekend!

Ta!

this lovely pair has real style and functionality, the little pads on the finger tips allow for you to work on your touch-screen electronics without having to take your gloves off in the bitter cold! Score!

I think gloves are just so chic.

What a beautiful way to end the week.

I hope you enjoy your weekends

Ta!

108: OWL WEDNESDAY

2012-11-07T15:44:00.002-05:00

Hello my pets and my loves,

after a disappointing election, it's nice to get away for a bit and just see life without the politics attached.
It's so easy to get wrapped up in our government (and believe me, it's important to know what's happening out there...) but we can forget to just see life as God has given it to us.

So here's to the little joys that are around and in front of us.

How. Cute.

I, will need this as a house-warming gift.

eventually.

Cause it's so darned cute!

THIS (modcloth) is why I love you soooo much. ;-)

Believe it or not,

I try not to just post things because they're Owl themed...

I try to pick things that are either fabulous or ridiculous...

these little cuties are just kinda adorable and I just couldn't pass them by...

how cute to have in your sewing/craft room?!

note: I would also accept these as a house-warming gift ;-)

This week we were gifted with the head of an opossum in our garden...
Which was *lovely*
but the interesting thing was, there were no tracks around the head...

we have surmised that a very large owl (which my father has seen around the area)
did some hunting on our land and dropped the *shudder* head off for us.

So gross...
anyway, it's hard to imagine an Owl as a predator when all you think of are these adorable little nick-knacks

:-)

Happy Hump day...

and lets pray the weekend comes soon.

Ta!

107: Owl Wednesday

2012-10-10T15:56:00.000-04:00

Wow,

who can believe that it's Wednesday already?

Not me,

I thought that yesterday was Wednesday... and somehow today felt like a Tuesday or Thursday...

boy am I off!

:-)

I'm sorry, but if the maker is going to include a pic like the one above, then how can I leave it out?!

ah! Owl-love mitten/gloves :-) how cute!

Fringe-y owl earrings? yes please!

These are totally cool and totally affordable... Sweet!

Well... I'm about to crash after a busy few days, so if you'll excuse me...

ta ta

106: Artprize

2012-10-08T16:11:00.001-04:00

At Mad Cap, getting coffee... there were tiny houses everywhere

Duct Tape monster!!!

this was about a story high.

Made out of recycled tires!

Kick-but Fiat!

They were balloons...

cut with an exact-o-knife out of a single piece of paper

And that was Cara's and my day out at Artprize last Saturday in Grand Rapids, and we only saw about 1/10th of everything that was there!

it was raining, and cold... but we had a ton of fun anyway!

It's always a good event to go see and enjoy being out in the city :-)

Ta!

105: Owl Wednesday

2012-10-03T18:59:00.001-04:00

I had a wonderfully blessed and busy day today, and I was happy to realize that it's Wednesday and that means I can do my Owl Wednesday post!

I usually feel like an OW post on... like a Thursday or something, and then I've just missed the mark and have to wait a whole 'nother week to write the post!

Yes yes, very tragic.

What's so wonderful about this bag, is that you may not notice that it's an owl-inspired design if you're not looking close enough. I like that it's subtle.

Long live the sparkly incognito owl bags! :-)

There are no words ;-)

it's adorable.

These are less of the whimsical owls, and more of the angry I'm-gonna-eat-your-cat type...

but they're still cool :-)

As long as they leave my Heathcliff alone...

Happy happy Wednesday my lovelies,

feel free to leave comments, or suggestions :-)

Ta!

104: RUGBY

2012-10-01T16:06:00.001-04:00

I'm not technically a sporty person...

and by "not technically" I mean not AT ALL IN THE LEAST

...

so I was about as shocked as anybody when I found Rugby and discovered that

I love it!

It's the most fascinating sport I've ever seen!

I'm no expert on the sport, but I am slowly learning the rules and what all of the different thingys are called..

like Trys, Drop Goals, Knock Ons, which result in Scrums and sooo much more!

I tried to grab a few good pics of different happenings at the game...

We (the Grand Rapids Gazelles in the orange) were playing against the Dayton Flying Pigs and they won, boo!

But I had a ton of fun all the same and I can't wait to go again! My parents and I have a few more games marked off for October :-)

Have a Happy Monday!

Ta!

~Liddy~
