Hello there, Florida has surprised me every day this winter with the weather.
It's either cold,extremely hot, or medium warm.
Today it felt good out a slight breeze with the sun shining bright.
I stepped out onto the back porch with a good book (Hunger Games) and started to read when my little doggy jumped into my lap so he could also soak up the sun and enjoy the weather.
I always say i wanna live up North, I feel like life is dull here, nobody knows the latest trends, how to properly speak, or how to live without partying. In the south it's y'all, and ain't. Its Bud light or Budweiser. It's Camo, or American Eagle. No real designers,No real taste, and definitely no manners.
I know that the weather would be a surprise to me, I like to imagine snow being fun to lay in, when i know it's like laying in water. Until the Day I actually get to experience it, I will enjoy the weather I have here.
Christmas has come and gone so fast, I can't believe 2012 is right around the corner.
My Christmas time was good , and surrounded by Family. We started the day off just like we would every Sunday by getting dressed and going to church, when we got home we took family pictures and then unwrapped presents. This is what I got...
The Varsity Sweater I've wished for since September, you can also see it in this post Here
Devan got me a Black pea coat :) Which was also on my list!
And my parents and my Grandmother teamed together and got me the entire hunger games series! I was so surprised by this. I love it!
Hope you guys all had a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays in general!
The last few weeks have been extremely stressful, with things like:
Exams
Christmas Shopping
Wrapping Presents
Football Banquet
Christmas Parade
Cheer leading Christmas Party
Exams
Going to my Grandmas
More shopping!
More wrappingg
Cleaningg
More cleaning..
Yes, Everything in that list added about 5% of stressing to the little bit my body could actually handle :p lol.
First let me tell you about my semester Exams I had, I've never been the one with the best grades in school, but i can keep them at an Average level. This semester it seemed to be extremely hard to keep them where I wanted them, So it was more studying the Blogging :/
Christmas shopping seemed to run on and on, I never could get everything I needed in one shopping trip.Wrapping presents makes me feel like an old person when my back starts to hurt and i just can't take slouching over wrapping paper and presents any longer Ha ha. We had our small town Christmas parade and me and the rest of my squad walked the entire parade while stopping to dance as well... Gahh.
After the parade we went to our coaches house for a small party and...wow I feel like I'm just rambling on you guys..SORRY! :)Ha ha. Here are some snap shots..
Baby Taylor on First Christmas!
I was looking through some old Christmas pictures :)
I got a new Fender Guitar from my Aunt :)
Our Football players during the Banquet
Devan, Laughing at the "Elf" sitting in class like nothings different :)
My little Sister writing a letter to Santa!
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas! I hope to Blog more often!
Then going to cheer at the basketball game vs our cross town rival.. Yayy for saturday night basketball..NOT! I'd rather be comfy on the couch with hot chocolate and a christmas movie playing.
My week hasn't been an easy one, I was called ugly, and this girl found it extremely shocking I was a cheerleader.
It wasn't easy to get through. But it's over and now I only have 1 and 1/2 weeks of school untill Christmas break!
I just have to say I love this fashion show, I use to think
"Oh Taylor you're way to big to even wear the cute delicacies they have"
I have dreams of being in a big city, working for magazines that get to see
This fashion show every year,
just to do reviews on it.
I love the cute attitudes the models have!
Celebrities come to perform or just enjoy the show. I seen Orlando Bloom, Akon, Katy Perry, Maroon 5, thus list just goes on and on..
Hey Ladies,
I had the day off from practice. So i thought I'd do a blog post to try and get back in my groove. Christmas is 20 daysaway! I'm so excited, I hope everyone is enjoying the parades, Christmas songs, and family time they all get!
It's been five days since I've blogged, after i had it down to an everyday type of thing it definitely became a habit something i didn't wanna go without.
This is what i've been up to..
Eating some yummy chili at my church on Wednesday night.
Drinking some Hot Cocoa in my christmas mug by my
christmas tree with the cold weather outside.
Getting extremely sweet text from my Boyfriend!
Working on my Christmas shopping for my little brothers and sisters.
and then getting my little (Yes little) sister ready for her Christmas dance last night, they canceled ours so i stayed home and watch some christmas movies and got her ready. She unfortunately didn't have a good time. So i mad eher som of my famour yummy hot chocolate and we had a blast :)
I hope everyone else has had a great weekend. I have to cheer at many more games this week, not sure how much i'll be blogging.
We have 25 days of Christmas, I stopped at our local Family Dollar store today bought candy canes,santa hats, and some other fun little things for my siblings stocking.After church i drove my siblings around our neighborhood to admire the new Christmas light everyone has put up.
If ya read my last post you know I'm planning on being "Santa" this year and I'm working with a low budget, but who isn't this year? So, I thought it called for a post on cheap gift ideas.
For your Parents
1) Get the a cute gift certificate that says "One free babysitting" So they can go to on date! You can easily make this on your word processor on your computer.
For your sister
2) Your little or big sister will love getting a necklace that shows your proud to be their sister. You can make these necklaces with the charms and chains at hobby lobby.
For your brother (The sports fan)
3) Get him a shirt with his favorite sports team on it, of course it's cliche but it will be a gift he'll always use and treasure,
Hope i helped you out,and i know what I'm giving my family.
If you read my blog frequently you know I am the Oldest sister of four!
Yes, Sometimes i can be extemely stressed out and wanna pull my hair out, but
other times i'm glad to be the one they look up to, and can lead them in the right direction or the best direction as best as I can.
The ChristmasSpirit has hit me HARD this year, I have never wanted to buy Christmas gifts as much as this year. I was a very lucky child I got everything I wanted when I was little..I thought Santa was reading my mind ;) or possibly watching my face when i seen a product on tv or maybe he was pushing the cart while i gazed at certain toys in the stores. lol I remember when I found out the true story about Santa, I was 10 years old and I actually walked into the living room and caught my parents putting presents under the tree (I was hoping it was Santa) Guess that's what happens when you're extremely curious..I wasn't upset or anything i walked right back into my bedroom and i was really understanding of the situation, I must've been one wise 10 year old, heehee!
Now, Why is this post titled "Call me Ms. Santa"?!
That's because this year is going to be a tight Christmas and by tight i mean budget wise not "Tight!" as in "Awesome"..Well I intend on making it the best christmas ever! I offered to help mom with the budget, I have coupons (Anybody watched *Extreme Couponing?*) and i have a good eye for good deals. I have four younger siblings to get awesome presents for.
Most of my classmates go out every day spend tons of money shopping, or some travel out of town on cruises because there parents just have tons to spend. I however make the most out of what I do at home, and going to town finding fun for cheap.
This is what i do for fun....
I found this site that you can use your web cam to makePhoto Collages! I had loads of fun with it Thanksgiving night after eating tons of fun.
Going shopping and then treating yourself to a pedicure that makes you feel like a million dollars for only
25 dollars!
Riding around singing Christmas carols and drinking eggnog with your little sister! :)
And of course..
Entering a giveaway for SavvySpice, a stylist living in SF, she's getting awesome deals at H&M and wants to share them with us! Go ahead enter the Give away!
This varsity sweater from Target.com online only, I plan on getting my school letter to sew on it, this way i wont have a HUGE bulky jacket in florida.
Sparkle shoes! They're seriously really popular right now, i mean the sperrys are pricey but they have sparkly converse,toms, even my hope shoes have a sparkly pair.. I'd love some of these santa!

Hey you guys!
I went black friday shopping today and totally got excited for christmas, thought i'd come on here and make my christmas list in hopes santa would stop by and check it out ;)
