five things. (kate grace)
five things this week is about my sister. i kept trying to think about what my five things would be…and she just kept popping into my head.
1. easiest: she’s GORGEOUS. (even though she looks a little lost in this picture)
2. she’s stuck with me through our ugly phases. (jk!) we’ve been close all our lives but especially when she started high school and I was a...
day one: your middle name and how you feel about...
I like my middle name: Rose. By itself, I’m not a huge fan because it is a bit old-fashioned, but paired with my first it flows nicely. Martina Rose. My dad’s mother’s name was Martina (I never met her, she died when my dad was young) and my mom’s mother’s name is Rose. So here I am. :) The reason I don’t like it is because A. when people find out my middle...
sil.
so I realize that it’s “blast from the past” Tuesday… but I decided to do that in conjunction with an explanation of one of the best. Now, I have several really close girl friends from OU, part of being in a sorority all four years. I can and will make a post about each individual girl at some point down the road. but right now I’m missing my Sil a lot. Sil is...
a very cronin christmas.
Christmas at our house is always a very stressful, but very exciting day. It was really sad this year, because it was the first year no one believed in Santa Claus anymore. It all started when I first realized back when I was like 11 or 12 (I was a believer for a long time, my parents were REALLY good) and once I knew, I started helping my mom shop and wrap. When I could drive it really started...
weren't we all supposed to...
not live at home after college?
land a super successful job right out of school?
live on our own?
not work at jobs that don’t pay us enough and treat us like we’re not college-educated?
make lots of money?
be like really cool adults?
this is lame. pathetic. seriously disturbed.

five things. ("i need"/wish list edition)
{a manicure}
{Dolce & Gabbana gold aviators}
i tried them on at Sunglass Hut when I went shopping with Eric. The salesgirl told me they were the gold aviators from “Sex and the City 2” which obviously made me decide i MUST have them. Eric chose the Ray Ban Clubmasters.
He looked so great, like Penn Badgley. I tried to convince him to buy them…so hopefully...
i wish someone would pay $49 so i could have the “Southern Afternoon” Tumblr theme. boo.
blast from the past.
well, i’m going to continue on with my Tuesday “blast from the past.”
{Christa, Kristin, KC and I at High Fest- April 2009}
One of my greatest memories of college was the spring quarter fests. They were SO much fun. This particular day, in this picture, the girls and i were captured being our awkward selves. I also LOVED my dress this day. It was the first time I’d...
meredith.
Mere: So I found something that's like the coolest thing while I lay here being sick...again
Me: What?!
Mere: Lol google maps like actually zooms up to a house...it's creepy.
My friend's house shows her car in the driveway
Me: Well duh mere, how did you not know that?
Mere: Hahaha does everyone know this!?
Me: Haha yes
Mere: what's your address let's see how far you have to drive to meee ;)

theoppositesideofthesea:
1) favorite color? pink! I’m pretty good about being girly when i need to be, and my sporty/tomboyish side sneaks out often…but i can’t stray from my favorite color :)
2) dream occupation? PR for a Fortune 500 company or a major sports team, and then when I’m a stay at home mom, a bakery owner.
3) favorite book...

never enough time...
such a busy day tumblettes!! i haven’t had time for a Friday post. :( And since I’m about to leave and begin my weekend HARD, i will leave you with this, ‘tis the season:
until later…you know you love me.
peppermint. sparkle. snow.
I’ll do my best to catch you up little tumblettes. However I must begin with this- it is MUCH too cold and MUCH too snowy for me to be at work right now. Work needs to have snow days. Naturally I wore the first pair of Uggs I found in my closet this morning, knowing full well my black flats (which would match my black cropped skinnys, purple top and black/grey pashmina perfectly) were...
five things. (southern edition)
Since I’ll be moving to Charleston in the near future, and I’m obsessed with all things “South” I thought this week’s “five things” would have a theme:
{Christmas- Southern Proper themed}
{my new darker hair. okay, not big enough to be Southern…but it’s one of my favorite things this week!}
{my month-old Southern Proper headband...
blast from the past.
ok, so not too far back. Spring 2010. i miss the treehouse.
my sisters are better than yours.
we did a christmas card photo shoot a few weeks back. these are a few of my favorites.
xoxo, the cronin girls.
congrats are in order...
i shouldn’t admit this because he had a very annoying countdown going on filling up my twitter timeline for about the last month or so, but one of my very best friends Bobby finished college at Ohio State yesterday and is graduating this weekend. i owe him one.
“Cuz baby you’re a FIRREEEEWORK!” ;) Thanks for being such a good friend to me these last three years!...
five things.
since sometimes i tend to be a tid bit of a negative person (especially on Wednesdays when i feel as if hoping for the weekend is a lost cause) i’ve decided on a new Wednesday routine. five things that are making me happy at that moment. :)
{my new Michael Kors watch}
{the dvd release of “Despicable Me” next Tuesday!}
{my new Sephora by OPI color “Flurry Up”}...
bullheaded sparkle.
Now, tumblr. you’ve really done it this time. a whole MONDAY with no blogging ability!?! you have no idea really what you’ve done to me. but i digress, i suppose i can forgive this time. but don’t let it happen again.
last week i told you gorgeous dolls about all the important things about December 1st, one of them being my beautiful friend Emily’s birthday. we...
jon.
meet Jon. he’s one of my best friends. he’s super.
i met Jon when i moved to Charleston, SC in June of 2009 for my internship with The Little Black Book for Every Busy Woman. i moved in with Laura and her boyfriend Ryan for the summer in historic downtown Charleston. it had been my dream city since Laura, Emily and i visited Kiawah Island the summer after junior year of high...
scribble and stumble
spending quality time at work often means Stumbling, and while reading another fabulous blog, Life According to Jes, I found this extremely cool site she had discovered while stumbling too. and i created this :) (love those crazy Delta Gammas too much)
check out Jes and her amazing blog!!
wintertime blues
so i sit here drinking my second, yes SECOND, Coca Cola of the day and contemplating whether i’ll finish up my work and relax this afternoon, or put it off for a couple more hours. either is quite possible and we all know i’m the worst at decision making. and we all know (or in case you didn’t) i’m obsessed with Coke.
yesterday was a big day. not for me, but just a big...
Thanksgiving 2010
shall i elaborate a smidge more on my Turkey Day? i shall. (especially since i have pictures to illustrate :)
the evening before is one of the biggest bar nights of the year. Will, Emily and I went out to Newcom’s, dreading the informal “high school reunion” that always seems to take place that night. To my surprise, it was actually fun! Several people from the class of...
#fail
September 23, 2010. that was the date of my last post. that is just simply unacceptable. i’ve probably lost several followers (and possibly even friends) due to my lack of tumbling. HOW AWFUL?!
so, since i am absolutely dreadful, i have about three months to update you on. i’ll have to do it by numbering, simply because it is molto easier for me.
1.the most important (i guess)...
