Emily's car dies
I know, my title is so original. But it's true, this post is all about the death of my dear Emily's car.
Yesterday Emily and I decided to go have ourselves a little dinner and catch up on life. It ha been a week or two since we had seen each other and we are both "let me tell you every last detail of my story" people.Not that you could guess that by reading my blog or anything.
So we are driving to meet each other, and I pull up, and I'm sitting at Norman Panera, because it is our default eating place, and I get a call from Emily.
"My car died. Like dead won't move completely not working." "where?" "where I-35 south merges to main street east..."
Oh my goodness. BAD location. Cars driving crazy, getting off one busy highway and on to a busy street. Never fear, Shae to the rescue! I pulled up, and found this:
Emily's car in the exact spot where you get on the road. At least people could get around her and no one hit her. We got in my car and started driving round to figure out a plan.
So after an hour of calling my dad, freaking out and calling Good Sam, I was glad we had that membership. They sent a tow truck and we were on our way to a repair shop. By the way, Good Sam customer service was a little rude, and they didn't seem to understand why we weren't sitting in the vehicle located where people merge onto the road. Speeding cars, still vehicle, sounds like a good idea to me too.
This picture not brought to you while the car was moving. Red light people. Calm down. I don't believe in texting and driving.
When we got to the repair shop, the man was super helpful.
"Turn it on...blah blah blah...I think it's your transmission. We don't repair those."
You're a car repair shop. What exactly do you do then???
We got all of Emily's stuff out of her car, including her sewing machine. Strangest car find ever, for anyone except for Emily. Then she kicks her car multiple times for being a butthead.
I took Emily to get food, because Panera is the best not homemade comfort food. She broke the news of her dead car to her mom.
Emily's car is still dead. There is no update on the situation. Ha.

Happy birthday Julie!!
Four short years ago, I made the trip from Stillwater to OKC on a weeknight to see my beautiful baby cousin! She's now a cute little girl, full of energy and opinions :)
Make a wish birthday girl!
Julie and Kiera played with Julie's new artist easel. Julie was amazed with her blue hands from the chalk! As you can tell, we've taught Kiera well. Go Pokes!

Cookie Decorating 101
What is this, another food post?
Nope. There's food in it, but I'm not going to pretend I came up with the recipe! Earlier this week, I was at Target (weakness) and saw a decorate your own Valentine's Day cookie kit, so I bought it. Why? Who knows. But I then remembered my mom was babysitting Julie bug and decided that would be the perfect activity for her!
She was a great little decorating buddy and took her work very seriously, doing it all by herself!
Our cookies:
Her brother, Hunter, got to enjoy these delish cookies
Speaking of Hunter, he's a cool dude. I love all my cousins, and I especially love hugs from them. Julie and Kiera sometimes get a little stingy with their hugs though. Hunter, on the other hand, always gives me hugs. One day, he got to the house and was really sleepy. I was on the couch, and he came to give me a hug, and all of a sudden he was asleep. Haha. But for real, I hope he never gets too old or too cool to give me hugs.
One more thing on my target trip. I was feeling so lazy (I'm pretty sure I wore a giant oversized sweater that day just to be comfortable) and wanted to sit in a beanbag/on the floor all day. I tweeted about it (duh). Kristen saw my tweet and we proceeded to have a short twonversation (twitter conversation? OK, I won't use it again) about needing(/wanting) bean bags. I don't remember if I posted this picture on Twitter, but these bean bags were definitely at Target that evening, and I was totes jeal of the owner of this shopping cart.
I just realized what time it is. Julie's 4th birthday party is in less than an hour, and I'm still wearing my warm pajamas...it's 23 degrees outside though, so I don't feel bad about it.

Essie is the bESStIE
Essie Nail polish has become my weakness. Haha. I never thought I'd say that about any nail polish! It goes on so well and has such great color, and it doesn't wear off easily! All the things it takes to be great in my nail polish book.
Earlier this week, I bought "a subdued, creamy coral" called E-nuf is E-nuf (probably the most red color I will ever wear). I love it.
And today, I bought "scintillating opalescence," which I'm calling shiny glitter.
Me and nail polish. Oh my. It's fun, though. Currently, I'm rocking the coral-y red with the shiny glitter on one nail. Grown up with personality, I think, and really, it's not too noticeable. I like the punch of spunk you get with the one unexpected shiny glitter nail.
What are your favorite nail colors/brands?
And for my dude readers, I promise this isn't turning into a fashion blog.
