This Week's Highlights: Cupcake Destruction, Hiding Eggs, and Pictures at Sunset

The past few months, I've had a revelation:

I take an insane amount of pictures.

And most of the time, it's not of anything particularly worth it.

It's usually of cats and trash cans.

So, I've decided to make the most of my annoying snapshots.

 I give you: pictures of the week.

May I present to you ... cupcake destruction.

See also: coconut filling.

Hello, sneaky hand.

Help, this lady just dropped all her eggs.

Oh wait, I'm just flimflamming with you.

That's right, flimflam is a word.

I visited the cat yesterday.

She still kind of hates me.

But I gave her a flower, so it's all good.

*squish*

Isn't it pretty?

Love always, Mary ♡

(Is this sign-off getting cheesy to you, too? I think it may be time for it too go on a longterm vacation).

The Nerdy Girl Life: Take Two

Good afternoon, friends!

Welcome to the second installment of "The Nerdy Girl Life!"

Today, we'll be talking about my obsession with retinas.

More specifically, pig retinas.

You see, about a year ago, I attended a lab demo at a local college. The lecture was on what happens inside your face (I know. Super science-y), so we all got to dissect a pig eye.

At first, all I could think about was the amount of pig eyes the college had. 

Then, I realized I would get to cut open an eye.

My day turned around significantly quickly.

To make this story short and simple, I'm just going to say I giggled the whole time out of pure joy.

Especially when I peeled out the retina.

And since it's been almost a year since I attended this lecture, it would be a normal human tendency to move on with my life.

But no. I make a point to work my retina-peeling experience into almost every conversation.

I also like to speak about it during meals. Everyone hates me now.

That's all. I hope you enjoyed.

Oh!! Before I leave... 

MY BLOG HIT 1,000 VIEWS!

Wowza. I can't fit that many people into my house.

Let's celebrate with this cat that wants my tuna.

OOTD: 4.8.2014

Good hello, everybody!

(wait...what happened there?!)

Before I start explaining my outfit, there's a quick question that needs to be asked:

HOW DO PEOPLE DO THESE THINGS EVERY DAY. Like how? Seriously?!

Nobody was born with the talent of putting themselves together everyday.

Except, maybe, the Kardashians. But they technically don't count. They might be alien lifeforms.

Alright. Mini rant over.

Here's the sit(uation). (See folks? You're supposed to say it like sich...never mind).

army style jacket :: charlotte russe

creme sheer top :: tjmaxx

jeans (I rolled them up) :: gap outlet

flats :: target

Oh - before I leave - a quick photo I took today.

Can you find the bunnies?

Love always, Mary ♡

Childhood Diaries

I completely embarrassed myself on the Internet yesterday.

What's new?

March 2014 Pictures

Salutations! 

I've been taking many pictures throughout the month of March. Here are a few:

We're judging you.

We're jumping over you
(actually - I'm barely off the ground. whatever).

Oh look - our finest smolders

 These photos were all taken from a photo shoot at our local park.

As you can probably tell, my sister and I are naturals in front of the camera.

I mean, just look at the smolder.

Until next time.

Love always, Mary ♡

Mary the Video-Making Machine

Hello friends!

This past weekend, I mustered up the courage to film, edit, and upload my very own video to the YouTubes. I've found it's actually quite a thrill to push that 'publish' button to permanently install your video on the Internet forever. I feel like I'm selling my soul or something.

Anywho, (get ready for shameless plug city) here are my two videos that I've uploaded:

"An Introduction"

"The (Failed) Weird Questions Tag"

Toodles!

Love always, Mary ♡

The Nerdy Girl Life: Take One

People of Earth:

Lately, my friends and family have made it clear to me that I am, in fact, a nerd. Of course, this didn't surprise me - it's just gotten worse over time.

Let me explain...

The other day, I had the opportunity to take a tour of St. Louis' news and weather station (KMOV). The lady giving us the tour happened to be the weekend meteorologist and explained her love of severe weather (especially tornados). I must admit, I had a small freakout, because living in Tornado Alley, I too have a passion for severe weather. I made it evident to the kind woman (she was probably a bit annoyed) that I shared her love of dangerous weather. 

When I arrived home later that night, I promptly gave my parents the low-down of the situation: my new life goal was to become a meteorologist. I now attempt to predict the weather every morning.

So, thank you, kind weather lady. And thank you, severe weather.

Love always, Mary ♡
