two post in a row?!??! unreal!

as summer draws to a close, i have decided to sum up my wonderful summer in the following way.

(making a list of all the things that made this summer THE BEST.

aka my summer necessities list)

1)

my wonderfully faithful 4runner.

(not a pic of my real-life car seeing as i have other things to do that take pictures of my car from different angles in a parking lot..) (no i dont)

BUT ANYWAYS!

without this, my many trips down Royal lane, through the waco lands and obviously to arapaho and hillcrest for snowcones this summer would not have been possible.

currently thanking the toyota gods and my loving parents for this one.

2)

Kiehl's body butter.

(sorry for awk times 9 spacing...thats just the background of the picture..) (like COOL PAIGE! NAME ONE PERSON WHO CARES ABOUT THE BACKGROUND OF THE PICTURE!!!)

yeah ok well this was introduced to me by my dear friend Ellie Turner! first off!! NOTHING. smells better. not one thing. second off my skin sucks and so lotion is a definite necessity. this has become my summer bff.

3)

jambox.

(mines black btw. i just thought the chick in the picture was awesome/freaky... o.O)

my bff heather halbert gave this to me for my graduation gift, and i must say this is one of the BEST gifts i have ever recieved. Heres the thing. i am outside in my pool 24/9 and i like to listen to music when this happens. HOWEVER! my phone just DOESNT. cut. it. like even with the volume turned all the way up i could actually hear negative pins drop before i heard my music. SO!!! this is where the jambox comes into play!!!! all you have to do is connect your phone to bluetooth and it plays right through this thing!!

but like TEN TIMES LOUDER!!! never been happier.

4&5)

arizona iced tea and tervis tumbler.

these two things obviously go together. i LIVED off of unsweet iced tea this summer. and without my nifty new baylor tumbler it would have gotten H.O.T while laying out and that would have just been a bad situation!!!

(ps....sorry for the double vision on the tumbler...google was being the worlds biggets butthole and wouldnt pop up a single pic that was big enough.....) (thats a really big problem paige wow really?)

6)

harry. potter. i have been an avid fan since the beginning. none of this

"oh the last movie is coming out and now im a fan" rubbish. (rubbish, eh?)

NO SIR!!!! i am a hpffl and am PROUD OF IT!!! to prove this, i am almost done re-reading the entire series for about the 12th time now. like you think im joking. not even close.

also, another fact to prove my potter craziness, i stayed up ALL NIGHT a few nights ago just to register for early access to the new interactive harry potter world online called pottermore. just like dont judge me....

8)

beautiful, beautiful rosemary beach florida. our yearly destination (sans the last two years..awk..)

this is the prettiest place in the world, the town is the cutest and theres a place called the sugar shak.

nothing more needs to be said.

9)

my two BEST FRIENDS in the whole entire world, megan and tyler!!!!! like without them (or the africans..) my social life would have actually been the lowest it has been my whole life and this INCLUDES MY MIDDLE SCHOOL YEARS!!! So think about that!!

This was our last night together as tyty had to leave us early to go train with the university of arkansas soccer team! where she is already dominating!!!!

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST!!! (ive just always wanted to say that... sorry :/)

10!!!

my beautiful best friend heather ann halbert!!!!!!

to whom this post is dedicated to as its her 18th BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

she is always there for me when i need a word of encouragment (which is quite often i must add..) and especially when i need to laugh. not ONE person is funnier! she is the best, i love you so so much!!

and now, i will retreat back to my bed to watch the nightly law and order. goodnight all!
