SATURDAY: Well, I went shopping on Saturday. Yep! That's right! Shopping!!!! There's this new mall whatever place in Springfield that I am in love with, and I was planning on it being a quick trip, but this place has a pull....and, you know, lots of stuff to shop for. So! I bought some new boots for me.
Woot! It was between these creamish ones, and the gray ones below
I actually liked the gray ones a lot more, but I already have gray boots....and I sent out a text to my mom and sister and husband, and they all liked the cream ones better, so cream it was! And I am a happy new boot owner! There is also another happy new boot owner in our family.....Haddy! She got 3 new pairs of shoes! One for Church, and two just to keep her feet warm when we are out. Ta Da!
So cute. I love baby stuff.
Well, I also bought some new pants because my favorite pair have two large holes in a very unfortunate spot...that I won't mention...and I'm not putting a picture of them, so there. But I also bought some hair dye... I know what some of you may be thinking.... "Haven't you tried dying your own hair before? And didn't it turn out to be a disaster?" Well, yes. And yes. BUT I went to Sally's and talked to the girl there and told her all the problems I'd had the times before (yes, times, you'd think I'd learn) and she was very helpful and told me what to do and what to get. So I did! And I dyed my hair blonde! But it turned out brown, somehow. Hmm... So I have weird brown hair, and no I don't like it, but it was ten bucks, and you can't be ten bucks, and I don't have roots anymore. But I don't like the color, so I'm thinking about actually going darker because blonde is too hard, and I like dark hair, I just don't know how it will look on me. I don't know. Oh, and what's that you ask? Can you see a picture of my new brown hair? No. And I'm not even sorry. You should be thanking me actually.
Anyways, so when I got home from shopping I got ready because we had been invited to go to Linvilla on a halloween hayride!!! And I ate an apple cider doughnut, and it was delicious. Here are some pictures from the orchards:
It was so fun! And it was so nice to get out of our apartment.....I don't leave here often.
SUNDAY: Well, Justin and I decided to attempt some doughnut-making on Sunday. I was nervous because I'd never even made something simple involving yeast before, but I was starting off with doughnuts! Yikes! Well, after a very long day of adding flour and kneading and using up yeast packets because we thought we were doing it wrong, we finished our delicious doughnuts!!!
Glazed. (There are also some leaf-shaped ones in there) |
Cinnamon sugar. |
Justin even nicknamed it because he liked it so much, he nicknamed it Troll Chicken (umm, I don't know why, he's funny) and if he nicknamed it that means he wants me to make it in the future. I highly recommend this food, here's a link to the recipe: http://rockrecipes.blogspot.com/2007/10/dijon-chicken-linguine-with-chanterelle.html You're welcome!
MONDAY: Justin had the day off and I gave him my pouty face so that he would do something fun with Haddy and I instead of do homework all day, and it worked! He took us on a tour of campus and afterwards we ate lunch at the famous Bobby Flay's Bobby's Burger Palace and let me just say....DELICIOUS!!!!!! So delicious. This weekend was pretty much filled with delicious food. They had this fry sauce that rocked our socks, and with their onion rings and sweet potato fries? Can't go wrong! Pictures of the day:
This was some fancy area for the Wharton kids....I kept looking around and thinking "All of these people are going to be filthy rich one day" |
One of the things I love about PA? Squirells! |
This is Justin in front of College Hall. It's a beautiful building! |
College Hall is green and it's next to the fine arts library which is red. I love the contrast! |
Fine arts library |
Penn coat of arms. |
Sweet potato fries and onion rings. Mmmmmmmmm |
Dallas burger: bbq sauce and cole slaw, weird? Yes. Delicious? Yes. |
Philly burger...it was very spicy! Glad it was Justin's and not mine |
Also some other things, here are some pictures of Haddy in her cute halloween shirt her gram sent to her (you can't tell in the pictures but it says "Be afraid, be very afraid")
Also some more awesome things: I bought curtains for our living room! I'm so excited for them to get here! And I bought a new shower curtain, which I am also very excited for (our bathroom is so dark and our current shower curtain is super dark, so them combined makes the whole thing very dark). Um, Justin would disagree with me, but I really don't buy stuff this much, this weekend was an exception (a wonderfully fun one!) Here are some pictures of my curtains that should be coming this week:
White: simple yet elegant, and light! |
The website wouldn't let me save the image of the curtains in the color I bought them, so I just did this one, but the ones I ordered are actually tan. |
Well, gonna go watch some Harry Potter now! Peace out!!
You crack me up, I miss you Allie, hope your doing well!
