Celebrate.

I hope that you all have a great day with your family and friends!

But, let's not forget the real reason why we are celebrating today: because Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose again on the third day! Isn't that just spectacular?! I mean, He loved us all so much that He died, just so that we could live and be forgiven and not have to worry about anything. That's a pretty stinkin' awesome kind of love right there.

See you around these parts tomorrow so you can catch up with me and my Weekend Shenanigans with Sami.

Happy Easter!

 

Easter is my favorite, just like link-ups.

I have been spending a lot of time on Pinterest lately because I find myself getting bored very easy. But also, because I have the app on the home screen of my phone and sometimes scrolling through Pinterest inbetween customers at work keeps me smiling, even though I want to hit all of them with a loaf of ciabatta. Did I just say that?

I also love holidays, and Easter is one of my favorites. So, I am very excited with the holiday fast approaching because it's just a happy holiday. The weather gets nicer, I can wear a dress to church and the food surrounding the holiday is also extremely yummy to my tummy.

Combining my reoccuring love for Pinterest and my love for the Easter season, I bring to you my favorite Easter pins - I totally apologize in advance that this is all food. Actually, no. Sorry I'm not sorry.

Don't these all look so stinkin' yummy? I could barely help myself from liking and pinning all of these recipes. Looks like I just may have another Friday night of baking ahead of me this week. Awe, I spoil my co-workers!

I will see you all around these parts tomorrow! Have a happy hump day.

 

 

Was that in my thought bubble?

I think alot. How 'bout you?

I also talk alot, do you too?

 

Sorry, I thought that was going to be like Dr. Suess and sound cute. But, I don't think that I really accomplished that the way I wanted to. Oh well. Life goes on.

 

Today I was inspired by the conversations that I have with...myself. I love the conversations that I have inside my head. No one really understands me like I do, so I decided that I would share some of the things that me, myself and Irene and I talk about on the regular. Hopefully you can find this amusing and not want to commit me to the looney bin just yet.

 

To get my thoughts rolling, I decided to enlist a friend and ask her what she thought the topic of my thoughts should be and she said: men. Well, I immediately started to feel my cheeks blush and my awkwardness come out to play. I will tell you about the thoughts I either a) have about men or b) have when I am around men. Let's see how this is going to go down.

 



At Work:
Oh, hello attractive customer. Yes, I will throw that garbage away for you even though that is not my job and the garbage is only a step and a half away from you. Gosh, you are lucky that you are a cutie. No, wait. Don't leave! Okay, your sandwhich probably is more important than standing at the counter talking to me.

Waiter, waiter! Don't go to her, I can change your twenty into a ten, five and five ones...even though I just opened and it will wipe out my drawer. I don't even care. You're attractive and I will help you with anything.

Ew. You sit around at the coffee bar for four hours a day. Do you even have a job? You wear cheaply looking suits and then try to talk to any girl that walks by you? Do you not get the hint that they don't like you because in that suit you look like the tin man from the Wizard of Oz? Just, ew.

Sorry, I don't respond to the term of endearment, 'mami'. Call me sweetheart or princess and that's a different story.

With People I Like:
Alright, good! You are like ten feet away from me. This give me the opportunity to check my hair and make sure I have nothing in my teeth. Dangit! You moved. Stay out of my line of vision so you don't see me doing this. That's embarassing.

Maybe if I bat my eyelashes. No, no. That only works in movies. I will look like I have an awkward twitch. Just smile, Marissa. Smile and hope there is nothing in your teeth.

Let me buy you everything in the entire world so then maybe there is a slight possible chance that you will love me. LET ME LOVE YOU.

I am just going to casually walk by and hope that he looks up. When he looks up I will pull the 'Oh, hey, I didn't know you were in this area' face. Or shyly wave. Yeah, that's what I'll do.

Random Thoughts:
Well, hellllooooooo! ;)

I bet he has a super attractive girl....oh, boyfriend. He is attractive and has an attractive boyfriend. Awesome.

Oh. Okay. That's fine. Yeah, just side-hug me and tell me that I am adorable. Because I think it's so cute when totally friend-zone me and treat me like your little sister. Oh man, please go on!

Yuuuup. I just exist. Walk right past me and onto the girl next to me. Totes fine. I will just be standing here, chillin'. Chillin' like a villian, ya know.


Well, I hope you guys enjoyed my awkward and random thoughts about men.
Do you ever think of any of the things that I think of? Please share and let me know I am not alone.

Weekend Shenanigans: Baking, Heels & Marilyn.

It's Monday again. I apologize from the bottom of my little Marissa heart for not being so ever-present around these parts lately. I have been lacking inspiration and trying to get my bloggy mojo back, because I just haven't been feeling it lately. But, after a few days of reading, researching and looking at my life, I think I finally have some material and fun posts ahead for you nice people who stop by here and read what I have to say.

But, because it's like bloggy law that on a Monday you need to re-cap your weekend, I will follow such invisible law. Which also means it's time to link it on up with Sami over at Sami's Shenanigans. I can't say that this weekend was all that exciting, but it was a good one.

photo one // Lonely Friday nights call for baking, right? I baked for a little bit, made myself a little dinner and spent the remainder of my night watching 'Four Weddings'. I brought those lovely little brownies stuffed with Oreos to work on Saturday. My co-workers loved them, obviously! Sometimes you can just brighten a persons day when you hand them a little treat.

photo two // After a long day at work on Saturday, I only felt that it was necessary to go to Target and spend a laege sum of money on these heels that I have been eyeing for what seems to be forever. The five inch heels make my already tall self look like a gosh-dang skyscraper, and I am not complaining. First awesome purchase with my tax refund money.

photo three // Came home from said shopping trip with a little mocha latte and snuggled up in bed and watched "My Week with Marilyn". If you haven't seen it, go watch it. Such a fabulous film.

photo four // These litle suckers - nutella filled chocolate eggs - will be the death of me. My work got these bad boys shipped in last week and I have been staring at them for a while, so I just had to try a few, right? I mean, I need to be able to tell my customers if they are good or not!

photo five // Here is my OOTD from Sunday: mint jeans from Charolette Russe, peach shirt from Charolette Russe, white blazer from American Eagle, teal pearls from Forever 21.

photo six // Had a nice leisurely breakfast with mom after church. A little cheese danish and a nice, tall glass of milk. Nothing beats a little pastry on a fresh Spring morning.

Hope your weekend was a great one. See you back here soon.
