Winter? What's that?

So the weather lately has been FABULOUS! I've been wearing flip flops, drinking an excessive amount of sweet tea (oh wait, I always do that!), and driving around with my windows down belting out songs for all to hear!

Well people probably can't hear my singing cause I have the music so loud....

Oh well.

Now I just need them to reopen the snow cone stand and I will be a happy camper.HINT HINT

Anyways, it's Monday, but its actually been pretty great. Going to class and getting a workout in the morning can make someone feel quite accomplished.

The weekend was pretty normal for the most part, work, church, oh and laying in bed and getting caught up on Nashville. Well watching Nashville isn't apart of my normal weekend routine but it was fun nonetheless. I just recently discovered it was pretty good, so I'm a little behind on the episodes. 

Oh and I am starting Background of the week again!

Linking up at Sami's Shenanigans!

Linking up with Neely again this week for Sunday Social!

This weeks questions:

What is your ideal way to relax?

Either writing something or reading something, with a cup of tea or coffee close by. English major at heart <3

Where is your favorite place to be?

I would probably have to say my bed. This is mainly because for one, IT IS SO COMFORTABLE! and two, I have a pretty busy schedule so I cherish all the sleep that I can get.

Who do you consider your biggest role model?

I would probably have to say my grandparents. They have always been there for me and I have always looked up to them.

What does your life look like in three years?

Hopefully (fingers crossed) I will have graduated from BU! SIC'EM! And will have started law school (hopefully also at Baylor!)

If you could go back and change one decision what would it be?

Hmmm, I'm not entirely sure that I would change anything because I would not be the person that I am today without everything that I have been through in my life thus far. 

What is your biggest accomplishment in life thus far?

Getting into the school of my dreams! SIC'EM BEARS! 

Facts of Ashley

So today I am linking up with Whitty for the Facts of Me!

Fact number 1:  My favorite color is purple, and I generally have something purple on my person everyday. That is how much I love it

Fact dos: I have taken 3 years of spanish, 2 in high school and one in college. AND I AM STILL HORRIBLE AT IT. 

Fact 3: I have been soda free for 23 days! Its been a big transition for me because I used to be like a 7 dr peppers a day person.

Fact 4: I swore up and down for years that I would never be an iPhone person. But I own and iPhone 4s and as much as I hate to admit it, I actually like it

Fact 5: I wear many hats. My college student hat, part time worker hat, a ton of different club hats, a musical hat (I play the flute!), the theater (my true love) hat, and of course my blogger hat. But I absolutely love everything I do and wouldn't change it for the world!

Fact 6: I am majoring in English, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO BE A TEACHER. Now I have nothing against teachers, or people who want to teach, its just not for me. I plan to use my English (and also future law degree) to become a newscaster. 

*****in an awesome newscaster voice*****

I'm Dreaming of Monogram Goodness

While I was doing my daily blog reading today, I stumbled across this little beauty of a website,

Crystal Faye
(I found it via Yours Truly, who you should check out as well!)

And lets just say they have the cutest things! I have added several to my wish list, such as....

  Monogram Phone Case

Polka Dot Lucite Tray

Monogram Necklace

Ahhhhhh so dreamy. And really fairly well priced actually, especially for the monogrammed items.

You should definitely pop over to their site and check it out! I promise you won't be sorry!

(Well unless of course you spend hundreds of dollars) 

I am not being compensated in any way to provide positive feedback on this shop. I found this site entirely on my own and felt the need to share it's awesomeness.  

SMILE! It's 2013 :)

I am soooo sorry I have been gone for so long! I have missed you all dearly!

BUT

I am back.

And I come bearing gifts of GREAT joy!

Well I think they are pretty great anyways..............

You see as 2013 has officially started I am officially in need of a new planner. And seeing as I can never find a planner that truly meets all of my needs I have been working very hard on creating my own. But my dear friends this is not short or easy work because I want it to be perfect. I figure I am going to use it for an ENTIRE year, so it is worth my time to make sure that I get it exactly how I want it. 

THAT being said, I have been wanting a particular type of calendar layout for my planner and I haven't been able to find one that particularly suits me. So what do you do when you can't find what you want?

YOU CREATE ONE!

I have been wanting a weekly calendar so BAD! Now I have one that I love!

And YOU can have it too! 

Just click the link underneath the picture, and ENJOY!

CLICK HERE!

Hopefully *fingers crossed* I will be able to show you my entire 2013 planner very soon, so stay tuned!

So tell me, what are you creating to help yourself make 2013 the best it can be?
