all the single ladies

Forget guys calling my mom to get my phone number (yes, that really happened), now my Grandma is trying to set me up. Maybe she's starting to worry she won't get to see her oldest granddaughter tie the knot. Or she'll never have great-grandchildren from me. Here's how our phone conversation went last week....

Grandma: Mallory, I want to get your phone number. [think about that...she called me to get my phone number]
Me: Grandma, you have my number. It's stored in your phone.
Grandma: No I don't, it just says "Mallory," but not your number. [oh technology]
Me: Ok, there's a way to find my number, but I'll just give it to you.
Grandma: I want to give it to a certain someone. [certain someone happens to be the 27 year old single son of my grandma's hairdresser. they've been scheming to get us together for a while now.]
Me: Well, why don't you just tell him to look me up on facebook. [read: I don't want him to call me]
Grandma: You can talk to each other on facebook?
Me: Yes, you can chat and send messages.
Grandma: Well, ok, I'll tell him to do that then. You get on that facebook tomorrow night, ok?
Me: Ok, Grandma.

If this ends how these things typically end for me, I feel another blog post coming. Stay tuned...

How To Lose a Girl After 2 Dates

1. Begin initial communication via text messaging.

2. Tell her all about your ex-girlfriend - including how you bought her a ring, talked to her parents, and took her on a weekend trip to propose, only to change your mind because it didn't feel right, then find out after you get home that she has been cheating on you - on your first phone conversation (before you have even met her).

3. Ask personal questions about her previous relationships and why they ended, on your first phone conversation (before you have even met her).

4. Don't offer to pick her up to go on your first date.

5. After initial phone conversation, text her 10-15 times a day. Every day.

6. Talk about your ex-girlfriend. A lot.

7. After she tells you on a Sunday afternoon that she has a really busy week, with plans every night, text her later that night to invite her to your friend's birthday celebration on Thursday night.

8. Text her the next morning (before work) to invite her to go walking with you and your dog that afternoon.

9. Text her at least 5 times to continue to ask about said birthday celebration on Thursday night, even though she tells you "no" every time.

10. Begin text messaging at 7:30 am.

11. Send her a text that says she has to go out with you, "no excuses!"

12. After she loses her patience and tells you that she CANNOT GO OUT ON THURSDAY, text her the next morning, just to be sure. Three times.

13. Ask her if she's mad at you.

14. Tell all of your friends she is coming out with you when she has clearly said she was not.

15. Ask her to call you repeatedly.

16. Don't take no for an answer.

17. Ask her out after she has ignored your texts for 3 days.

18. When she says she is not interested, ask if she believes in second chances.

19. When she bluntly says she is not interested in you, text her first thing the next morning to invite her to to out later that week.

20. Repeat #'s 1-19.

SSI

The next couple of months are gonna be jam-packed with exciting events...from bachelorette weekends to babies to a cruise to weddings...lots and lots of fun packed into such a short amount of time!

First off, SSI for my best friend Laura's bachelorette weekend! We got a beach house and spent the weekend celebrating this girl!


We all got there Friday night and spent some time catching up and visiting with each other. Saturday afternoon we had her bridesmaids luncheon.

Perfect weather for an outside luncheon.

The bride with her bridesmaids.

Sweet gifts for everyone there. Laura gave all of the bridesmaids handmade gifts, along with a card with a quote, verse, or song lyric that she picked out especially for each bridesmaid. The quote she had on mine was...

"Everyone has a "best friend" during each stage of life. Only a precious few have the same one."

That pretty much sums us up.


After the luncheon, we all hit the beach for a couple of hours, then got ready for a yummy dinner at Barbara Jean's.


We headed back to the house for dessert and to let Laura open her lingerie gifts :)
Lingerie cupcakes from Lindsay :)

Then we headed out to Ziggy's for a night full of dancing!
We had such a great weekend celebrating Laura and her upcoming wedding!

christmas gifts

I found this cute clutch tutorial a while back and made one for myself. It turned out super cute and was easy to make, so I made some as Christmas gifts for my Bible study girls. Here's how they turned out!




Merry Christmas, girls!

hello world


hello world
how you been?
good to see you my old friend
sometimes I feel cold as steel
broken like I'm never gonna heal
I see a light, a little hope in a little girl
hello world
