*sigh*

Hello lovely loves! It's been a whole. week. and I have missed blogging! Life has just been so busy busy, I can hardly stand it. And now I am sitting on the couch, waiting for my tea to cool off while I drown in a puddle of misery. That's right, I'm sick. And it's AWFUL. Okay, I'm done complaining now. But I also have nothing left to say. So have a fabulous evening and perhaps I will post tomorrow! :)

"Skills."

Here's a shoutout to my lovely brother! For the last two hours I have been belting a particular broadway song (I'm sure you can guess what it is), sometimes doing this crazy awesome (NOT!) thing on the highest note where I hit the note for a split second, then slip and hit about eighteen even higher notes all at the same time. From more than 100 feet away, through several walls, my darling brother shouted, every time, "Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice!" as I crumpled to the floor in laughter at my delightfully ear-splitting feat. Back to the point. I've been singing the same song for two hours. LOUDLY. So loudly that my brother had to close his door on the other side of the house to hear through his headphones properly. And he didn't complain :) So I'm pretty happy. I can hit the highest note about half the time without performing my magical feat, so that's just fine by me. Now to figure out where on earth I can use my ability to sing this song...perhaps I shall run away and join the theatre ;)

That's all for now. I hope your weekend has been lovely lovely :)

Snow on My Parade: February Edition

Not a moment has passed all day during which snow was not falling. All day, flakes have been falling, falling, falling to the ground. Consequently, the ground is even more covered in snow than before. My plans for the day, too, fell to the ground in a heap of white fluff. The roads were covered, so no fun outings for me.

I made dinner though :)
This is my apron. Be. Jealous.
(I know it's sideways, but I simply have no motivation to spend the next ten minutes trying to fix all of blogger's glitches just so a few people don't have to tilt their head for a second.)
I tried to be creative with my food today. :)
Nothing much has been accomplished today, unfortunately. My piano music sat untouched:
(I found the sheet music. Yeah, I'm pretty excited too)
I want to hear about your guys' weeks!! Tell me, tell me!

Mr. Bennet, you've said it perfectly again.

Happy Friday everyone! Today, after I finished my college homework (boo), I hopped in my favorite little red truck named Lloyd and drove to a lovely little coffee shop to meet my darling friend, Lizzy. We are SO different, it's hardly funny. But we have fun :)




After that, I went shopping with my friend Keola and her kids :) My duty on such outings is to take care of the baby. At some times, I was not with the rest of the family. See, exactly half the world thinks I'm 14...and the other half thinks I'm 20. So half the people I saw smiled the oh-what-a-cute-baby smile :) the other half gave me the oh-my-gosh-what-kind-of-child-are-you gape. SO FUN! And no, I'm not being sarcastic. "After all, what do we live for, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn?" At one point I was with all four of the kids (aged 10 months through 11 years) and Keola was off somewhere. This amazing old man asked me, wide-eyed: "Are they all yours?" haha :)
Speaking of wide-eyed...

Oh, it's time for Fun Fact Friday :) I'm allergic to lettuce! Go figure that one out :D

Snow. Awkwardness. Awesomeness. Les Miserables.

There is snow! Much snow. On the ground. FYI. It's all over the place in funny little drifts...we got a good five or six inches last night :O
Awkward and Awesome Thursday has showed its little face once more. However, I haven't even left the house since Sunday, so very little has happened. With that in mind...

Awkward:
-An inside joke with one of my buddies at school. Every time I wear pants to school (as opposed to my usual skirt), he SHOUTS in the school hallway, "Hannah! You're wearing pants!"
-Discovering that not only ladies read this blog after posting a little TMI about working out. oooops.
-When guys ask me why I've been wearing pants so much lately. I was NOT expecting it at all.
-Saying something impulsively and then realizing five seconds later it was completely untrue. (Example...Friend: "I HATE driving at night!" Me: "Ugh! Me too!" and then I remember I actually really love driving at night)

Awesome:
-Sugar. I can have it! It makes me happy happy :)
-My newfound love of soup :) 
-This song from Les Miserables: 
It is fabulousness itself! And just what I have been wanting to work on with my voice. The sheet music sits at my piano right now, just waiting for me. It is the most depressing song ever, but I am absolutely obsessed with it.
-The fact that I'm writing a persuasive essay for college on why everyone should wear purple.

So...no pictures or anything today. I'm enjoying my last moments of laze before I have to tackle my homework. Shhhhhhhh...don't remind me!

You asked. I'm answering...

Hello again :) I forgot to mention an important thing! For all you people who have been wondering and asking why I have been wearing pants so often lately...
Due to health issues, my body has decided that it wants to weigh absolutely nothing, and is doing everything it can to get there. Because of this, my skirts are too big. I recently went thrift shopping and found jeans and slacks that fit me for the time being, but...no skirts. I've gotten tired of safety pinning my clothes so they stay on, so for the next little while, pants it is.

Oh, you trend-setter, you.

Hi there readers :) It's Wednesday, and snowing yet again! I just thought I'd pop in for a quick post while dinner is heating. I made soup with tomatoes, sausage, (brown rice) pasta, and some extremely yummy seasonings :) Almond flour shortbread is sitting on the makeshift cooling rack, and I'm feeling pret-ty accomplished.
Today was a very pleasant day full of cleaning, cooking, and "working out"-HannahStyle. If there was a contest for weakest person, I would come close to winning it. However, my legs are made of fat, not muscle, as are my arms...this makes me unhappy.

Here is what I wore today (and yesterday, hehehe):
Sweatshirt: Aeropostale (durrrr...)
Slacks: Thrifted
Socks: "Chinese Laundry"
Haha. Ignore my awkward face. It's hard to smile at just the right second when using self-timer. All I know is that at some point after the little orange light starts blinking really fast, whatever I am doing at that random particular instant will be forever recorded on the little blue memory card. 
Oh! Oh! It's Quote of the Week time :) I have decided to start a fabulous tradition here. I even created a fun little sidebar for it! All this planning, and I plumb forgot to pick a quote! 
Let's see...the only thing that comes to mind is the other day when I was facebook-chatting with a kid from my school. We were talking about summer jobs, and he said "you should get a really high-paying job, like with a really nice boss, who is also hot...so pretty much a dream job :D" it made me laugh. so. hard. 
Want to join the "quote of the week" fun? Add my sidebar!


ACK! I just remembered some English homework I have due tonight...have a fabulous evening!
