late nights are for blogging

I'm up late tonight, just listening to music on Pandora and trying to get acquainted with my new haircut. After having a good four to five inches cut off, it's been a little bit of a shock. There's still going to be quite a bit of getting used to it, but I think that it's got great potential. Oh, and what kind of friend would I be if I posted about my new hair, but didn't include a picture? Here's a few pictures of it:

I know that it's been a while since I've taken the time to post on jayebird. (Way to state the obvious, right?) The main reason why I haven't been posting is because my beauty for ashes blog has pretty much captivated me. (Just sharing my late night, insomniac thoughts with you.) All that said, I think I'll still keep my jayebird blog for a while, because it's been around a lot longer than my new site. And I guess it's special to me in a way, because it's the one that my sister urged me to start late last year.

There are so many things for me to think about right now. My sophomore year in college officially starts this next week. My birthday is also this next week, along with my mother's and sister's.

With that in mind, it's almost midnight. The start of a new day. 

Just a little experiment. Not like science, though...

Experiment: #1. Test subject: jayebird and beauty for ashes blogs. Looking to answer this question: which blog will I choose in the end? Stay tuned for the results. Hahaha.

Okay, so I've got another blog going at givesmebeauty.wordpress.com. Head on over there and take a look at it, if you'd like. It's got a look that's a lot more minimalistic (if that's a word) than my jayebird blog, and I'm still giving it my personal touch. Just thought I'd do another post to explain why I haven't been being very faithful with consistent blog posts.

"Watch the Time Go Right Out the Window..."

So I've spent the past hour or so working on a new color/design/layout scheme for the blog, but I'm a little too tired to finish it right now. And you should understand that. I mean, the time is 12:22 am. Seriously.

Man, didn't they teach you how to tell time in kindergarten? It's 12:22 am. Oh, and this clock face's from: http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/34300/34336/nclock-12-22_34336.htm

Yes, that is my lame-sauce excuse for why my blog is incredibly boring and unattractive right now. At the moment, I haven't the time to continue working on it.

But I do have a few precious seconds to stay on the theme of time for just a little longer. Long enough to share a corny joke with you. Just a little joke, which will totally be worth your time.

My cousin loves to tell this one. "Why did the boy throw the clock out the window?" "Because he wanted to see time...fly!" :D

Until another time.

"You know it's summer when..."

...the Ice Cream Truck starts making its rounds circling through your neighborhood.

Oh, and here's some of the music they play. For your listening pleasure, of course. :P

"The Wedding Gown of the Century"

        So I just caught a glimpse of Catherine's gown as she made her way to Westminster Abbey. The gown's lacy details and gorgeous sleeve and collar-style is entirely reminiscent of Princess Grace of Monaco's wedding dress. The future wife of Prince William looks absolutely lovely in it, to be sure.

        I'm up early this morning, making a few Royal Wedding predictions. Couldn't you envision the future bride of Prince William wearing a stunning, lace, mermaid-style wedding gown? This dress seems so vogue, and is definitely a modern-twist on the fairytale princess.
        Of course, no matter what style of gown she wears, I'm sure that this future princess will be utterly gorgeous, absolutely beautiful, and simply breathtaking. 

"i love you, you sleepyhead."
