Seriously, Mister Groundhog?

Not too happy with Mr. G'hog right about now, y'all...

I mean, really?!?

6 more long weeks of winter?

He's gotta be kiddin'.

Okay, enough of my complaining.  I can't be in a mad-at-the-world type of mood when I get to leave the city life for a day and half to go see my sis at her school (tomorrow!).  I'm super excited.  The plan is to visit with she and her friends, maybe do a little shopping, eat dinner with all of her new "sisters", and party it up since it's the boys' bid day---which is apparently one of the craziest and most fun nights this semester.  So, I'm stoked (to say the least!).  

Can't wait to see her!

It's been a few weeks since I last saw my sis, so it will be good to give her a good ole' squeeze.  You know, some big sister lovin'.   Gotta love it. 

Now, for the promised DIY project...

Lace candle holders

Pretty easy, huh?

Probably don't have to spell it out for ya.

Buy some lace, mason jars, or cups, and

some tea light candles...
And voila!
You got it, sister.  Work yo magic.   


 Hope y'all have a fantastic weekend---don't eat yourself silly on Superbowl Sunday ;)

What month is it?

I'm very confused, friends.  

This morning, I stared inside my closet and contemplated exactly what I wanted to wear. With a closet full of "seasonal" things such as sweaters, jackets, scarves, and other wintry things; I threw my hands in the air and just gave up.

You know that freeeeeeezing weather that usually greets us at this time of the year?  

Yeah, well it's not here, if you haven't noticed.

I opened my blinds and was immediately blinded by the sun's bright rays.  As I squinted out my window, I noticed two ladies walking down the sidewalk right in front of my apartment.  This isn't odd or anything.  I see many people running or walking around my part of town.  What is odd was they were wearing t-shirts and shorts. 

Last time I checked it's the first of February (AKA Febrrrrr-ary). 

Before you might think that those two ladies are absolute lunatics for wearing this sort of apparel in the month of February, I have to set the record straight.  It really was 70-freaking-degrees.  Believe it or not. 

Because it's warm and gorgeous outside, my mindset is: it's warm outside, so summer has to be close.  Oh, I only wish this was the truth...

I guess we will have to wait and 

see if the groundhog sees his shadow...  

I'm hoping we won't have 6 more weeks of winter.  

That might as well be me.  My mind has quite an imagination, huh?

Since this is all I can think about because I've been teased by the weather, here's some beachy, summer-y stuff that I'm diggin'.
