Summer Bucket List 2013

It seems like every summer I start out with all these awesome ideas to have the maximum capacity of fun possible, and by the end of summer I find myself in front of the TV, in my pajamas for a week straight and my parents shaking their heads in disappointment.
But not this summer!
I hope.
Check out our new Summer Bucket List 2013 page on the right and see what we've got planned for this summer! Encouraging comments would help immensely.

La la- WHAT?!

     So I'm just scrolling, stalkin' my own blog, when I see something that shocks me into oblivion.
     Published on June 9th, 2013.
   June. Flipping. Ninth.
     We are still in school.
     It was 60 degrees F outside on Thursday. How the heck is it June 9th?
     I am supposed to be laying outside, pretending to tan, but, in reality, acquiring freckles. I am supposed to be planning a fitness regimen to lose some weight and then failing but still losing weight because it's so painfully beautiful out. I am supposed to be happy.
     But, instead, I'm sitting in my house in my enormous stupid sweatshirt, stuffing my face, dying a sore-throated and feverish death, and, worst of all, I keep hitting the stupid wrong key because Apple thinks it's okay to be different and decided that it should be called "command" instead of "control." Obviously, Apple hasn't been to Middle School, because if it had, it would know the golden rule: conform.
     You can't just go change the order of the keyboard. That's not how it works.
      Can you tell that this illness is going to my head?

     Shall we close with a quote?

    "i swear to god kim kardashian has been pregnant for about 3 years now" 

-  w-ave on Tumblr.

(We feel ya, w-ave.)

Sisterhood of the...

     I'm not even gonna write you guys a lead or thesis statement or whatever (not that I usually do). I'm just gonna start you off with a photo.

(Yes, this picture was taken outside. My neighbors will probably be contacting the mental health specialists soon. Can you imagine me, in plain view of the road, taking pictures of a foam head? Oh, gosh.)

Ka-bam!

     Ain't s/he a beaut? Nameless, and with a chunk missing from her (I think she has a feminine bone structure) neck, it's needless to say that Lise and I are in sisterly love.

     Why the heck am I showing you this?

     Because we've got a summer plan for you. 

     This little he-she mannequin face is going to serve a summer bucket list purpose. Did you guys ever do that Flat Stanley thing at school or whatever? Where you pass him on and mail him and - no? Oh, okay... Um, here's a more relatable one - The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. That ring a bell? Well, in case you're impossibly sheltered and don't know what this charming little series is about, it's these four girls who are away for the summer. They have a pair of pants that amazingly fits all of them, and each week, one of them has the Pants. They love them and experience life in their magical pants, then, at the end of the summer, they embroider and decorate and commemorate the pants. 

     In case you don't see where I'm going with this, I'll explain. Lise and her genius brain came up with this idea - we will use this magnificent foamy head to document our summer. Someone will have it this week, and the other the next, and so on. You don't have to bring the head with you everywhere, but you have to decorate it in some way. 

     In case you were wondering - yes, we are freaks. Remember?

#YOLO

     Anyyyyway, we need a name for this sassy little girl. I'm gonna fill in her scar with clay and we'll paint her with an undercoat. 

     She will tell our adventures. Isn't this much more creative than an adventure book?

     In the words of a brilliant 8-year-old:

"Yes, yes it is."

-Ferb or Phineas or whoever the heck off that show

Okay, so I'll leave all y'alls alone now.
