Woweee. I’m spent. I don’t know what it is about this week, but I’ve been perpetually tired from the minute I wake up to the second I go to bed. Scratch that, I always seem to get a second wind around 11-12 o’clock at night which makes me stay up later than I probably should. I guess I’m simultaneously turning into a night owl and a morning bird, which ends up leaving me feeling tired all day. Blah. Anyways, I skipped one of my classes today (something I never do) to give me more time in the morning to rest a little bit, so I’m feeling more energetic and ready to take on another hot library date with Kyle tonight. Since this post is already getting a bit rambly, I’m going to jump straight into my latest edition of Thinking Out Loud, brought to you by the lovely Amanda from Running with Spoons!
1. This Ed Sheeran song.
I hate to use it, but I think the hashtag #dying is necessary here. I first heard it when Kyle’s stepbrother’s daughter shared it on facebook and I can now officially say that I’m obsessed with it.
2. Speaking of music, I’m a little mad at John Mayer right now.
He has adorable songs titled “Something Like Olivia” and “Dear Marie” (my close cousin and sister’s names) but doesn’t have anything for me. WHAT GIVES. I think I should write a strongly worded letter to him and let him know that if he doesn’t immediately compose/record/market a love song with my name in it, I will no longer continue to buy his music. That’ll show him. Take that.
3. Every Fall I buy a new pair of riding boots to get me through the colder weather.
My foot attire for the next few months basically only include boots and my tennis shoes, so I usually wear them down pretty quickly. Meet my newest pair! Bought off the Nordstrom rack iPhone app Hautelook for only $40. *happy dance* I really love a rich dark brown for them since it pairs with any sort of outfit. Now I just need the weather to cooperate so I can start wearing leggings, slouchy sweaters, and boots 24/7. 4. This lil’ piggy, Nuff’ said. LOOK AT THAT OINKER. Anddd that’s all I really have for you guys 😯 . I’ve been so busy with life lately that I haven’t had much time to let my mind wander and the random thought accumulate. Maybe next week!
Kaylin@EnticingHealthyEating says
First off….that cute little piggy photo I have seen many times and it always makes me smile. Thank ya!! Also, I am also now obsessed with that Ed Sheeran song–AFTER I saw the music video! Can I learn to dance like that?!
Kay Bueno says
I am the exxxxact same way with shoes in fall. If it’s not a knee length boot, or a running shoe, I’m surprised it’s on my foot.
Unfortunately, It’s still a little warm in California, I’m dying for the moment I can ease into sweater, leggings, and boots. Yours are so cute.
Jen @ SavedbytheKale says
Love those boots! I seem to have the worst time finding some that I like that are also comfortable. Each year I have tried and failed, maybe this will be the year!
Katie @ Daily Cup of Kate says
OMG I’ve seen that pig before and I want it so bad. Adorable. And I am torn with buying a new pair of boots…I don’t NEED a pair, but I WANT a pair…dang it. 😉
Christine Skari says
I want five of them just to keep in my room and snuggle with haha. Too cute for words!
I always think another pair is a good idea ;), just sayiiiingggggg
Erin @ The Almond Eater says
Ugh, JM is so rude sometimes. Love him but seriously “Something like Christine” could totally be a thing. Oh and that Ed song?? 1) that girl is a really good dancer–I was transfixed and 2) I found it way too amusing that the song is called “Thinking Out Loud” for your TOL post…
Christine Skari says
TELL ME ABOUT IT. It’s like he doesn’t even know I exist 😉 .
And isn’t that music video amazing? Apparently he’s never danced before and it took him months to learn the routine. So well worth it, though!
Also, I didn’t even notice that!
Ceara @ Ceara's Kitchen says
Oh John Mayer, his voice is soo soothing and just amazing. I love his new songs
Christine Skari says
I know! He has such a sexy voice 😯 . I hear he’s actually a jerk in real life, but I can’t get over how talented he is!
Brittany Lesser says
I love a lllll of ed sheeran’s songs! And those boots.. agh I wish I lived somewhere colder so I could wear all the cute fall clothes!
Christine Skari says
I’m just now discovering him a bit more! He is crazy talented!
Autumn Wieland says
Ive never seen a cuter pig in my life!!! That thing is so cute! I must take him and keep him in my backyard. mehehe.
Lol! we can tell who’s the favorite ones in your family, getting song written about them sheesh!
Christine Skari says
Isn’t it adorbs?! I just want to poke his lil’ noes 😯 . And I KNOW. So unfair!! John Mayer must have a personal vendetta against me..
Sky @ Blonde Freedom says
That Ed Sheeran song is super adorable. I’m sending it to my boyfriend right meow! And those boots look nice and what a great price!
Christine Skari says
Isn’t it so cute?! I make Kyle listen to it in the car with me whenever we drive anywhere haha ;).
Kelly @ Kelly Runs For Food says
Those boots! What a steal! I’m on the hunt for a new pair as well. Hope things calm down for you soon!
Christine Skari says
I KNOW! I love getting good deals, it makes shopping that much more fun :). Thanks love!
cait @pieceofcait says
love the boots! i agree, always need a new pair
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
Those brown boots are super duper cute!!! I love boot season
Emma @ Life's A Runner says
SO…I finally have a leg up on you on the weather. 😉 It’s been PERFECT layering weather here for a few weeks now, juuuust crisp enough to need boots and a jacket without actually being cold. And the rain has held off so far too! Hey – you Southern Californians have it good 90% of the time. 😉
Annnnnd you seriously need to tell me if you adopted a pig to give you more energy or WHERE I can stalk that adorable little bugger. <3
Amanda @ .running with spoons. says
I need to make that Ed Sheeran song the theme song for ToL 😆 And I swear that part of the reason I love fall so much is because of riding boots… I’ve been on the lookout for some new ones, but I’ve still got ones from a few years back that have just the right amount of worn-in factor to them… and I know you know what I’m talking about 😀
Leigha @ The Yooper Girl says
Those boots are so cute! And girl. How do you think I feel? Do you think I will EVER have a love song with my name?! lol 😉 Hope you had a great day!
Alyssa @ The Healthy RD says
Cute boots! That’s ok, there’s not really any songs with my name in it either :p
GiGi Eats says
I cannot for one minute remember the last time I bought SHOES! OMG! I need to jump on this! My sneakers alone are like 6 years old! YIKKESSS! I know that’s not healthy!
And that little piggy, OMG! I wish I could have it and it would NEVER grow!
Hilary says
Thank you for posting the Ed Sheeran song, I am not officially obsessed too
Christine Skari says
So glad you love it as well 😀
