my current favorite lipstick, revlon candy apple
sometimes i wish i owned a pet tiger.sometimes i dream about having a big house with me and ryan and our 10 kids (9 girls and 1 boy).
sometimes i dream of a little studio apartment with just me and ryan forever (then we would never have to mow the lawn).
sometimes i think it'd be fun to have pink hair. or red. or maybe blue.
sometimes i come up with the best blog post or project epiphanies in the middle of the Sunday morning church service (sssshhh!).
sometimes i have to check my bathroom 3x to make sure the straighter is unplugged before leaving my house.
sometimes i wear red lipstick and feel like a model.
sometimes i wear red lipstick and feel like a clown (so i wipe it off on those days).
sometimes i think i'd like to be more athletic.
sometimes i wish i wasn't so disorganized.
sometimes i sing really loud in the shower and pretend i'm Adele.
sometimes i wish i ate healthier.
sometimes i talk in a British accent because i think it makes everything all the more fun. wouldn't you say, old chap?
sometimes i wish i was 5'10 instead of 5'3 but then i remember i probably wouldn't wear my big heels as often and i wouldn't be the perfect height for Ryan's hugs.
but only sometimes.
much love.
{happy friday, friend.}
Love that lipstick! My cousin actually worked at a big cat insync a few summers ago (she's a vet now). And it was as if she had her own pet jaguars, cougars and tigers!
ReplyDeleteAhhh I'm not the only one! I totally check my bathroom MULTIPLE times to make sure the straightener is unplugged! My husband thinks I'm crazy :P
ReplyDeleteHAHA. I experience all of these thoughts almost daily. It's nice to know that someone else experiences them too. (especially the hair straightner one, man!)
ReplyDeleteYer so cute! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this post!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish I was 5'4" and not 5'9" not only b/c I am a giant when I wear my heels, but also skirts and dresses wouldn't be as short as they are w/my long legs!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. It means the world to me!

Sometimes I think you are the cutest blogger on the blog....okay always. ;)
ReplyDeletewhat about 11 kids? so you and ryan can make your own family football team, haha
ReplyDeletethe way you feel about lipstick is spot on.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to branch out in the red lipstick department. I feel like a clown when I wear it. I need to get over this fear, put it on and rock some red lipstick!! Right?!
ReplyDeleteBennett Love
Ilene I LOVE this post! I may have to steal (borrow!) it from you if you don't mind!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Tomorrow I'm having a giveaway, drop by and enter!
P.S.S. Short girls have WAY more fun.
Sometimes I fall in love with your blog all over again, and its because of FUN posts like these!
ReplyDeleteLove this, Ilene. Oh, and I beat you in the short catagory. I reach a stunning 5'2". ;D But were not small. Were fun size. Because short people always have more fun. :)
ReplyDeletehugs,

Sometimes I wish I had your confidence to wear all the lovely things you wear:-)

I do the same thing with my hair straightener. I'm always paranoid that I have left it on and is going to burn the house down lol
ReplyDeletehey... checking the straightener 3x is a good thing!!! i get too confident in my one check and end up leaving it on for hours. yipes!
ReplyDeleteI gotta be in the right mood for red lips. Usually I pair it with cat-eye liquid eyeliner and I feel like an old Hollywood movie star!
ReplyDeleteI see this brand of lipstick in the stores, and always wonder about it. Is it opaque? or more of a sheer red?
A pet tiger???? Wow. That would be amazing. But, scary too. :)

ReplyDeletelol...i'm glad i'm not the only one with bathroom plug-in paranoia:)...gosh, i probably check more than you, though...
ReplyDeleteand i overly check the kid's breathing at night. just to make sure their little bodies are moving up and down.
and all the carbon dioxide monitor lights. just to be sure they are all working properly.
total paranoid person over here:)...love your list! too cute!

I wanna live in a studio apartment! I'm kind of imagining my bedroom as one actually cause its big it could be considered one ;)
ReplyDeleteBTW i check like 5 times that my straightener is off before i leave all the time!
love the lipstick illy! sooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteI really lovo what you wrote...sometimes I feel like this too!
ReplyDeleteLove the stuff you write! You're too cute! xoxo
ReplyDeleteSometimes, I wanna dye my hair blue, but my mom would surely freak out. Haha. Oh my golly,10 kids?? Have mercy on your uterus,dear. I think 3kids would be fine. Lol.
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I check the door several times to make sure it is really locked before I leave the house.
Sometimes I wish I had pink hair ((I actually wish this a lot!!))
Sometimes I wish a tattoo ((or two!!))
Sometimes I wish that I could live inside one (or several!!)) of my favorite books!! :)
Have a fantastic weekend doll!!
xoxo
I'm with you on the pink or blue hair. I'm going to chalk my ends one of these weekends, and be completely cool. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd .... why only ONE boy?? Little boys are the greatest. There are no complex emotional tangles to sort through -- just energy and nonstop amusement, haha.
A girl in my dorm freshman year burned her room to a crisp leaving on a straightener...better safe than sorry!
ReplyDeleteAwh love this!!! And I used to talk in a British accent all the time :) LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend! xoxo

ReplyDeleteSo I stumbled across your blog and am very much enjoying, this being my favorite post. I have currently gone into a red lipstick wearing phase, and at first felt like a clown as well, but then started getting compliments, so I wear it for church and fun days out. I always check to make sure my straightener is unplugged multiple times, and wish I ate healthier haha. Love you blog! *new follower*
