Halloween Party Essentials

How stoked are you for Halloween? I personally am very excited. As you may have guessed. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and today I'm going to combine it with one of my favorite things: Party Planning! Lots of people plan Halloween parties, so in case that's what you're doing this year... I thought I'd help you out. So, here it is. A list of Halloween Party Essentials:

1. A killer playlist. Any good playlist (for any kind of party) will combine new songs, nostalgic songs, and kind of filler-esque songs during which people can chat and play uno before getting super psyched as soon as that song everyone knows and loves come on. I've developed a sample Halloween Party Playlist which you can find here... but if you're going to make your own, make sure you include the Ghostbusters theme, Thriller, and the Monster Mash. Seriously, if you don't, your guests are bound to be disappointed. 
2. Halloween themed foods. I'm not saying that you have to make absolutely everything related to Halloween. This is a trend I've seen on pinterest. People are like, "dump some cheese puffs in a bowl and call them pumpkin poo and wallah Halloween themed!" Don't do that. Dump some cheese puffs in a bowl and let it be. It's orange, that's Halloween-y enough. What I'm saying is: make some ghost-shaped sugar cookies or decorate your cupcakes with candy corn. If you want some more ideas, I actually made a video about this! You can check it out! Or search through pinterest, but please avoid calling your marshmallows "ghost poo" and your cheese puffs "pumpkin poo" nobody wants to eat any poo, okay? OHKAY?
3. A familiar movie silently playing in the background. Sticking in a movie and silencing your TV is like setting up an animated decoration. Plus, it gives that one introvert who doesn't know anybody something to silently stare at without feeling too uncomfortable. My best advice is that you go with something everybody has already seen 100 times. Like, Hocus Pocus or Harry Potter. That way, people will look over at it and be like, "Ah, yes, the part where Ron barfs up slugs. Good times!" and not like, "What the heck is going on right now?"
4. Related: some stellar decorations. If you want to go all out, by all means, set up an amateur haunted house. Otherwise, you could just get some orange/black/purple/green bouquets or make yourself a ghost garland or make some tombstones out of styrofoam or, heck, just blow up some orange and black balloons. 
5. Disposable cameras! Everybody is dressed up super cute and they definitely want to document that. I know, I know, everybody has a camera on their phone... but personally I think the ability to take a ton of pictures and delete any you don't like kind of takes away from the photo-taking experience. Plus disposable cameras are fun. Also, this way you'll get to have all the pictures that people are taking, which is nice because you threw the party in the first place. Also, you don't want to give your guests access to your good camera if you're having one of those alcohol-consumption-type parties. Or, if you, like me, don't offer your guests alcohol but just happen to have lots and lots of clumsy friends. 
6. A few activities. Look. I know that "party activities" seem a little... juvenile... at first. But sometimes there just isn't much to do at a party other than, well, talk to people. Which I'm definitely all for. It's just... I like activities. Anyway. Here are some Halloween Party activity ideas:

• Give everyone a "Halloween Party" bingo card with things like "somebody dressed like Dr. Who" and "somebody whose costume is so obscure nobody ever guesses it correctly." This is something that probably works best if you're having a fairly large party, but it's nice because your guests' participation--when and to what extent--is entirely at their own discretion. 
• Buy a bunch of those little tiny pumpkins and some paints, then set up a little pumpkin painting station. I know what you're thinking: that's what they do at, like, six year olds' Halloween party. And that's true. But also it's also fun so stop being such a snob. Also, since it's a station, people can just go paint a pumpkin whenever they feel like it.
• Set up a sundae bar. Yes, technically this is a menu thing more than an activity thing, but putting together a sundae is fun and activity-ish, right? The point is, you can have ice cream, regular ice cream toppings, candy corn, crushed up Halloween Oreos, orange and black sprinkles, and any other festive toppings you can think up.
• Give any party game a Halloween spin. Like, Halloween trivia or Halloween charades. Also! You could play flashlight tag or murder in the dark. That stuff's fun for any party. 

Anyway! I hope you all have stellar holiday shindigs and remember: never ever, ever ever, call your cheese puffs pumpkin poos. 

Film Fashion: Addams Family

Okay, let's be real: Halloween is one of my absolute favorite holidays. So, I'm going to embrace this holiday all month long. And to help you get into a nice creepy spirit, I thought I'd kick things off with an Addams Family film fashion blog! All right. Here we go.

Everything kicks off with a group of carolers and dichromatic color scheme. Seriously, there are a ton of them, and they're all wearing red and blue. They're such goofs. At this point, you're probably thinking, "IDK, Kat, I think you watched the wrong movie." But if you're thinking that, you're wrong. See, standing above the carolers is this family...

Granny, on the far left, looks like a cross between a goblin and a bag lady. Lurch, in the middle on the left, looks a bit like Benedict Cumberbatch, and he's wearing a nice suit that screams "I had to go to a funeral earlier today." Morticia, middle right, is gorgeous as ever with a deep-v black dress. What a gorgeous evil goddess. Then, on the far right, is Gomez. He's got a gray pinstripe suit with a huge collar and black bow tie. Most of their family is so well dressed.

The Best Dressed On TV

So the other day I was watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch... look, I like nostalgic television and goofy shows about witches okay?...ANYWAY, I was watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch and I thought to myself, "Dang, Melissa Joan Hart is dressed well" and basically that is how I got the idea for this blogpost. Before I get started listing off some of the best dressed women on television, you should know: I was a little bit limited by what was offered on hulu+, netflix, or network websites. That's why Charlotte Charles from Pushing Daisies isn't listed. I was pretty disappointed about that one, Charlotte Charles is a fabulous dresser.

ANYway, these are organized alphabetically by first name. I know, that's kind of a ridiculous way to organize a list, but I have the photos saved first name, last name. The point is, this is the order that my computer automatically organized them as when I stuffed them in my "Best Dressed On TV" folder.

Okay. Good. Let's get started.

Alex Russo - Wizards of Waverly Place 

• Alex is the queen of layers. She layers different patterns and colors--green long sleeve shirts under blue and orange patterned tank tops and mauve scarves. Sometimes she even layers one necklace over another. 
• Her hair is crazy cute. Seriously, half the time she wears her hair pin straight and half the time she wears it in big voluminous curls but all the time it's super enviable.
• She's always wearing a sassy attitude, and you know that's 9/10s of looking cool.
• She's a teenager and dresses like a teenager, but a cool, confident, a little bit outrageous teenager. 
• Plus she has magic. That bit isn't about her fashion, really. It's just cool.

Brooke Davis - One Tree Hill

• Brooke Davis is a fashion designer, so she always looks cool and she'll make you look cool, too. 
• In the early seasons of One Tree Hill, Brooke Davis was all about layers, fitted clothes, tank tops,  and wedges. She was a cheerleader and never missed the opportunity to show a little skin to catch the attention of whatever men she was interested in. She's bold and daring and that showed in her style as well.
• In the later seasons of One Tree Hill, her style matured. She traded in the jeans and tank tops for super cute dresses. No matter the season, though, she always wore a neckline that highlighted those killer collarbones. 
• Brooke Davis is always down for an attention grabbing costume. 
• Her favorite accessory is an attractive man... or lady... on her arm. So whenever she was in between boyfriends, she'd grab Haley or Peyton, who let's be real, were way cuter than those boys ever were. (For real, seasons 1-3 are all about sweat and sweatpants for the boys of OTH. Shudder.)

Guinan - Star Trek The Next Generation

• Guinan always reps a monochromatic style. And even the "warm" colors she wears are muted down so they almost appear to be a "cool" color.
• I have no clue how those funky hats managed not to catch on. For real, it's like a ski cap with a cardboard circle stuffed in the top. I wish I could get ahold of one, I'd wear it constantly.
• You would think that the giant monochromatic cloak/dress would be boring, but the use of fabric, seams, and texture makes them look really intricate. 
• MESH FINGERLESS GLOVES. SHE'S WEARING MESH FINGERLESS GLOVES. AND I WANT SOME.
• She's seriously the smartest person on the ship. Remember, there's nothing more stylish than smarts. 

 Joan Watson - Elementary

• First things first, if you're not watching Elementary, you're missing out. 
• Lucy Liu, who plays Joan Watson, is a gorgeous, gorgeous goddess of light. I'm pretty sure she could wear a tinfoil hat and a paper bag and I would think she's the best dressed woman in the world. 
• She occasionally wears colors, but predominantly wears blacks, grays, and whites. That's style, guys. That's styles. 
• Joan tends to wear loose tops and fitted bottoms--she wears a lot of tights, fitted jeans, and leggings, along with loose tank tops, baggy sweaters, and large t-shirts. She also rocks a lot of scarves and jackets.
• She's so functional. She dresses warmly. She wears comfortable heels. She takes her handsome, well dressed sidekick along with her most of the time because he's handy in a pinch. 
• She always has such an easy, effortless perfect appearance. Like she just woke up, threw her hair in a ponytail, and slid into a dress. Boom. Bam. Perfection. In fact, in a few episodes, that's exactly what we've seen her do. 

Lydia Martin - Teen Wolf

• All the girls in Teen Wolf are well dressed, but I picked Lydia because she's by far the best dressed. That's maybe a matter of opinion. But as a matter of fact... I don't really care about any other opinions on this matter. 
• Lydia is in high school, but you won't ever catch her in a graphic tee and a pair of sneakers. Don't quote me on that. I didn't rewatch the whole series before writing this blogpost. 
• Her hair is always gorgeous. It's long and a warm color and whether she's wearing it up or wearing it down it's perfect. Even after... going to Mexico to search for Derek, getting kidnapped, getting free, finding Derek, and staying up all night at a vet clinic to make sure he's okay... she looks flawless.
• Her hair is always gorgeous... and her make up is always on point. And, yes, she's wearing the perfect shade of lipstick to go with her latest mental breakdown. (At least her mental breakdowns don't cause her to kill a ton of people. And yes, I'm looking at you Stiles.)
• Cardigans, necklaces, dresses, skirts, and adorable heels. She will defeat the bad guys and look fabulous doing it.
• You can always find her with a hottie on her arm. Preferably a lady hottie like Allison or Kira. 
• Remember how I said before the most stylish accessory is smarts? Well Lydia is the smartest character on the show. She maintains a killer GPA, helps all her friends who are almost always floundering, solves crime, all the while getting psychically drawn to murder scenes. It's a lot to deal with, but she does it better than anyone else on the show. (Again, I'm looking at you "why don't we just kill him" Stiles.)

Dr. Mindy Lahiri - The Mindy Project

• Mindy Kaling (my personal role model) called her character's wardrobe "complicated" and I think that's a perfect description. She wears layers of shirts, vests, and scarves. And she's always wearing fitted and flattering pieces. 
• She meshes colorful and professional perfectly. The second picture from the right the a perfect example of this. Blue pencil skirt, adorable boots with a short heel, and a red jacket? Perfect.
• She always accessories with a handsome man, too. And from here on out, hopefully, that handsome man with be Dr. Danny Castellano. Who is grumpy which just accentuates her bright and bubbly. (Here's a fun fact: you can see Danny by her side in three of the pictures featured on my collage, but he was ACTUALLY by her side in all but one of them. That's right. I cropped him out a lot. It was necessary. I wanted more Mindy!)

Poussey Washington - Orange Is The New Black

• I know what you're thinking: Orange Is The Black takes place in a women's prison! She dresses like literally everybody else on the show! Well, Samira Wiley is so adorable that in a gray sweatshirt she's stylish. But, also, did you watch the Poussey Washington flashback episode? 
• Poussey Washington's style is simple but edgy. She wears short shorts, fitted jeans, sleeveless shirts, and shirts that show a bit of her mid-drift. 
• That mohawk is kickin, I'm such a fan. 
• HEXAGON EARRINGS. Also do you see that jacket + moon graphic tee in the last picture? It's such an adorable outfit, even though she's breaking down. Poor baby. 
• And did I mention that Samira Wiley is the cutest person in the world?

Sabrina Spellman - Sabrina The Teenage Witch

• Okay, as mentioned before, I've been rewatching Sabrina The Teenage Witch and right now I'm on season two. So... all of these pictures are from season two. But she's super cute all the time.
• She rocks a lot of turtlenecks, layers, short skirts, and chokers. 
• Her clothes are usually matched by a color theme. You can see this in the fifth picture from the right. She's got an orange skirt, a reddish shirt, a reddish skirt, and an orange headband. 
• Her hair is never the same. I mean, sometimes it's the same. But other times, it's half braided, or pinned up, or just down, or in a weird swirly deal. Anyway, she spends a lot of time on that hair, apparently.
• Oh! She changes with the point of her finger. If I were a witch, that's what I'd do. I get so exhausted sometimes when I think about getting ready. There are just so many steps to it.
• And magic is always causes weird situations and so sometimes she's dressed like it's the sixties or  like a really fancy French lady... the point is she gets into weird situations and is always looking super cute.

Zoe Washburne - Firefly

• She has gorgeous curls. Her hair in and of itself deserves to be on this list. Also, she's gorgeous. So... that's a common theme, I guess. Gorgeous women could wear trashbags and I'd still think that they're really well dressed. 
• She wears a lot of toned down colors, fitted tops, and "I'm about to beat you up" jackets. 
• She wears a rope chocker a lot, and thick, fitted wristbands.
• Her favorite accessories include: a stern expression, a pistol, and her goofy husband. 
• Whether she's dressed up or dressed down she's dressed impeccably. 
• She's smart, tough, and stoic. Which is why, even caked in filth like in that fifth picture from the right, she's ready to out-style anybody. 

Okay, so there you have it! Nine of the best dressed women on television. Please let me know who you would add to this list and give a couple reasons why! 

Poached Egg Avocado Sandwich

I'm sure you know by now how much I love egg sandwiches. I mean, practically every other recipe I post is an egg sandwich type recipe. And today is no exception! This is one of the best egg sandwiches I've ever made. It has everything a girl (or guy whatever) could want: eggs, cheese, bagels, and avocado.

So! To start off, poach a couple eggs.

I usually poach two eggs at a time. What I do is bring a large pot of water to boil. I crack the eggs into a small plastic dish and put them to the side. I'm careful not to break the yolks or anything like that. Then, I stir a cyclone into the boiling water, and drop the eggs into the center of it. Then I let them boil for 12 minutes or something like that. Sometimes, it works perfectly. On very rare occasions, it's disastrous.

Meanwhile, toast an everything bagel. "Can we use a different type of bagel?" Yeah, sure.  I mean, don't use a sweet bagel (like cinnamon raisin or chocolate chip) because that sounds like a weird cornucopia of tastes. Also, don't use plain or whole wheat unless you're the most boring person alive. I always use everything bagels, though. So you should probably do that, too.

Your eggs are still boiling at this point. You get that right? Pro-cooking involves multitasking. So, your eggs better still be boiling.

Okay, coat your toasted bagels in cheese. I used mozzarella and parmesan. Other good choices: provolone, swiss, and cheddar.

Put your broiler on high. 

And broil that delicious cheesy bagel goodness for like five minutes so the cheese gets all melty and delicious.

Probably while you're broiling your bagel, you're going to want to slice up some avocado. As you can see, I sliced up slightly more than 1/4 of an avocado.

Ideally, your eggs will be done about when the bagels get done. That way, everything can come together at once! So, put your poached eggs on one of the cheesy bagels. Then add salt and pepper and the sort of stuff. By "that sort of stuff" I obviously mean "whatever kind of spice you'd like unless it's something that would be weird like cinnamon or something that would be illegal I'm looking at you Hannibal."

Then add your avocado. Mmm. Avocado.

Then top everything off with your other bagel-bun. And you're done! Eat it and enjoy. I would recommend eating it with a knife and fork. I know, you're supposed to be able to eat sandwiches with your handwiches but if you try that with this all of the innards are bound to fall out.

And definitely let me know if you try out this recipe or one like it! You can comment below, tweet pictures at me, or just concentrate on my face really hard while you're eating your poached egg avocado sandwich and maybe we'll be able to figure out how telepathy works.

Film Fashion: Penelope

Okay! So, I'm going to start this blogpost with a little back story. My family has always enjoyed Star Trek The Next Generation. Apparently, when I was being potty trained, I would sit on the toilet forever and my mother would point out characters on a Star Trek The Next Generation calendar and see if I knew their names. Too much information? Sorry. When I was a kid, we had Enterprise crew member action figures. I used to wear headbands over my eyes while pretending to be Lt. Commander Geordi LaForge. (For those of you who don't watch Next Gen, LaForge wears a visor because he's blind. So, the headband visor was totally a sensible call for a seven year old costumer.) Throughout the past few years, we've accrued all seven seasons of Star Trek The Next Generation. Recently, we've been rewatching them. At some point, my brother mentions the best blog I'd never heard of: a Star Trek The Next Generation Fashion Blog. You can check it out here and I definitely recommend you do.

So, I wanted to borrow and adapt their brilliant idea. Which is why I've decided to start a recurring series on this blog called "Film Fashion." In it, I'll recap a movie and discuss the featured fashions. I wanted to start with Chasing Liberty because the other day my brother said, "You know, that movie with Mandy Moore and Paul Rudd?" and I said, "If there was a movie with Mandy Moore and Paul Rudd I definitely would have seen it 10,000 times." and he said, "You have! She's like a president's daughter?" Which is how I found out that Nash has no clue what Paul Rudd looks like. Anyway, I thought Chasing Liberty would be a fun way to start because 1. Nash made me want to watch it again, 2. Each character basically only wears 2 things throughout the whole thing, and 3. 90's clothes. But unfortunately, I was unable to capture images from the DVD. So, I decided to start with one of my very favorite movies: 

I'm going through this whole movie, so I anticipate this being a long post. (Also, rife with spoilers. So if you haven't seen the movie but want to, maybe wait and read this some other time?) There will be a lot of pictures, keep in mind, it's just, because it'll be so long, you're going to find all of the brilliant stuff down below this cut off thing:

Twice Baked Potatoes!

Okay, to start: credit where credit is due, I have a couple very good friends, Megan and Becca, who I hang out with a lot. One time, when I was at their apartment, they made these for dinner and they were soo good I literally dreamt about them that night. So, this is a recipe that I stole from my friends and now I'm going to share with you!

Also: I think they might have used green onions or chives or something in theirs, but I didn't use them in mine because... well, frankly, I wasn't quite sure which and also I constantly forget.

Anyway! These are pretty cheap to make (potatoes are a pretty cheap food, after all) and they're pretty easy to make (seriously the oven does most of the work for you) and they're SUPER DELICIOUS. Also, apparently Becca did the math and they aren't as bad for you as they seem. That having been said, I don't think you should have a diet consisting of nothing but twice baked potatoes. But if you did, I wouldn't blame you. They're so good, you guys. SO GOOD.

Right. Let's get started. Here's what you'll need:

The amounts of everything will depend on your preference and the number of people you're cooking for. But the ingredients are: potatoes, butter, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. (Also: I've used garlic salt before and that turned out pretty good, too.)

Rinse off your potatoes and scrub away the dirt. Then stab them with a fork approximately seven times per potato. Then set them in a pan or a baking sheet. Of course, you could also wrap them up in tin foil, I guess, but the one time I did that it turned out kind of disastrous.

Preheat your oven to 400*F, put the potato-pan in the oven, and set a timer for one hour. Guys! You definitely need to have stabbed your potatoes a bunch before this step because if you didn't do that then you're potatoes are going to straight up explode in your oven. And then you'll have to clean that mess up. And nobody likes cleaning. Except for, like, Monica in FRIENDS.

Okay, when the hour is up, grab an oven mitt or a thick towel or whatever so you can grab each potato individually and slice them in half, Then, hollow them out into little potato boats. Place the potato insides into a bowl because if you throw them away you'll muck everything up you punk.

So, in a bowl, mix up your baked potato innards, some sour cream, some butter, some cheese, and some salt and pepper. The proportions of this is all just "whatever you feel like." Don't get me wrong, you can totally wind up with not enough stuff or way too much stuff, but, I think you can just common sense it. Plus, just knowing what you like. Like, maybe you want more cheese and less sour cream. It's fine. Doesn't matter. (I don't think Becca and Megan had specific proportions, but I guess maybe they did. I'm not sure.)

Then, you're going fill up the emptied out potatoes with this mess of deliciousness.

Once your potato boats are reloaded, pop them back into the oven for another fifteen minutes. I'm not sure if Megan and Becca turn the heat down, but I just leave it at 400*F).

When you pop them out, they'll be all crispy and gooey and delicious. Like this:

Mmmm. So good. I recommend making a few more than 1 potato per person. Like, when I made them for my brother and I, I used four potatoes "just in case" and I ended up eating 3 halves and he ended up eating 5. Worst case scenario, you have left-overs. And that's not a bad thing.

When I was at Megan and Becca's they made a whole mess of potatoes even though there was just the three of us. They just pop the leftovers in the fridge and then microwave them throughout the week.

Anyway, they're so good that if you just make a few extras, they'll probably all get eaten up. See, they're so good, even my cat wants in on that cheesy-gooey-potato-goodness.

That's actually not saying a lot. My cat loves cheese, butter, and salt, and these twice potatoes have plenty of all of the above.

Anyway! Enjoy! And when you, drop by Megan's tumblr ask box to let her know you loved her recipe.

Rain Day In

Somedays, when it's rainy and you're broke, it's nice to just lounge around at home. So, that's what I did on this particular rainy day, and I thought you might want to spend it with me.

Let's start with a brief get ready with me!

So, since I was just lounging at home, I kept today's look pretty simple. Here it is start to finish. As you can see, I went with a pretty neutral eye and lip, and I did a simple fishtail braid with bangs for my hair. Here's the makeup I used:

• ALMAY Smart Shade Perfect & Correct Primer
• ALMAY Smart Shade CC Cream
• NYX HD Photogenic Concealer
• Physicians Formula Mineral Blush
• Physicians Formula Mineral Wear "Illuminating Veil" (seriously idk what's up with that name?)
• Zum Kiss Stick in Lemon-Ginger
• NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Tokyo

Since I was just staying in, I used a bit of concealer and powder on my eyelids, but I didn't bother with eye shadow or mascara or whatever.

Anyway! Outfit-wise, I rocked this stellar button-down and leggings and socks I stole from Renee look:

Haha. Such a natural pose, right? I just was trying to figure out how to get my socks into the picture. Yikes. You can check out the fashion blog post for it here! 

Now, after I got all ready, I settled down with some good lounge-around-work: Scrapbooking! 

After I graduated high school, I made a "high school scrapbook" and I collaged the cover. So! Now that I've graduated college, I decided to make a "college scrapbook" which is what you see all collaged to the left of the picture. I'm ALMOST finished with it, but I have a few more pictures to work on.

Around lunchtime, I made myself a DELICIOUS hardboiled egg wrap. I seriously love egg wraps. 

This one was made of: 

• One whole wheat tortilla
• One hardboiled egg
• A bit of mayonnaise
• Some cheddar cheese

Actually, it's a whole lot like this recipe! I mean, not exactly like that recipe but still really similar. 

Then I had some chocolate chip cookies and milk for dessert: 

Usually when I make chocolate chip cookies, they turn out kind of flat. But this time, they turned out pretty well! It's on my list to make a batch of perfect chocolate chip cookies, and thanks to some advice from friends and family, it looks like I'm on my way to achieving that one!

Anyway. While I was on half of the table eating cookies and scrapbooking, my brother was taking up the other half of the table with TWO laptops. Seriously. TWO! Who is he? Wade from Kim Possible???

Anyway, I'm sure I did more than just scrapbook and eat cookies throughout the bulk of the day, but I guess it wasn't interesting enough for me to take pictures.

So jump forward a bit. I ended the day hanging out with my family, watching Star Trek The Next Generation and playing Kim Kardashian Hollywood. (It would have been way more appropriate if I'd been playing Kim Cardassian Hollywood. Eh? Eh? Eh? That's not my joke, really. It's just the joke of everyone whose ever watched any post-Next Gen-Trek and also heard of the Kardashians.)

This is Picard's imitation of that one time Worf's childhood Klingon Pet materialized on the bridge.

Making reeeeeal good use of my Nook HD+ right therrrre. 

Anyway, while we were watching Star Trek, Nash was hanging out with his bird and I was taking super close up pictures of my cat:

He's mad because I was trying to take a picture of him acting sweet. He hates that. He's sweetness is a secret. 

 I'm not sure why Zoey doesn't like me more. I only OCCASIONALLY stick a camera really close to her face.

Once it got a little bit later, and I got a little tired of being around people, I retreated to my room to read Landline. Actually, if you follow me on other social media outlets, this might give you a pretty good idea of when this particular Rainy Day In was. After all, I tweeted about it and posted my shelfari review in early August. Plus, it was featured in one of my mid-August fashion blog posts! Anyway, point is, I decided to wind down by hanging out alone reading a book by my favorite author. 

Let's be real, I made my bed before taking this picture. I didn't even seriously make my bed. I just made it enough so that you wouldn't know how much of a slob I really am.

And then I went to sleep. So that's the end of my Rainy Day In but before I end this blogpost, I should tell you a secret about that day. Especially because I mentioned making my bed right before taking the Landline picture. Earlier in the day, I was putting away my clothes. In my closet, I have two fabric, hanging, shelf things. And when I put away a couple of my t-shirts in one of the fabric shelf things, the weight finally got to it and broke it. Since then, my dad has repaired it, it's back to hanging in my closet, and my dad even made it extra strong so that it could withstand all of my clothes. But during most of this day, all of my shirts were strewn across my bed. Which my cat, who likes sleeping on my bed and likes sleeping on clothes, really enjoyed:

"I am queen of the clothes-hill. Do not look at my clothes hill. This is MY clothes hill."

So now you're probably wondering: where did you put all of your clothes before taking the Landline picture. Good question. See, when I'm being kind of messy (which, right now, when I have way too much stuff for the amount of space I have tends to be "basically all the time") I have this habit of keeping stuff on my bed during the day, and then moving them to my chair at night. Then, during the day, I move them back to my bed. Then, when night comes, I move them back to my chair. It's this whole thing. But this time, I moved them to my chair really neatly and then just left them there until my shelf thing was repaired.

Okay! So there you have it: my rainy day in. I hope you enjoyed it. :)
