dear boys... {disney edition}

Once Upon A Time...

I went into the Disney Store and all the guys that were working there were tall, good looking... and WORKING AT THE DISNEY STORE.

I've decided I should date one of them.

Mainly because they all looked nice and happy, and they probably get a discount...

Please know, these are all written in code names to protect the interests of both parties. 

Dear Gaston,

I love talking to you about how you aren't sure if you like this girl because she seems way too into you.

Seriously, stop being so weird so you can be cool.

Sincerely, Belle

Dear Flynn,

I enjoy watching you flirt with other girls.

It's the highlight of my life.

Love, Rapunzel

Dear Aladdin,

Tell her... THE TRUTH.

Love, Miss Bee

Dear Charming,

Remember that one time you smiled at me, and I melted.

You should do an instant replay.

Love, Cinderella

Dear Boys Who I Hang Out With All The Time,

Even though, I'm the only girl in our little possy, I am greatly appreciative that you will belt Disney songs with me. It makes constantly talking about your girl problems worth it.

Love, Dr. Love.

Dear Bloggy Friends,

Since I know you are dying to know... here are the songs my boys sang with me...

Just so you know, they were totally into "I Won't Say I'm in Love" more than any other song.
It was the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Linking up with...

okay, bloggers are totally rad.

So, once upon a time, I went to Breathing Space Blogger Retreat.

It was just so incredibly awesome.

So, here is a little teaser to prepare you.

I'm going to talk more about this awesomeness, but first, enjoy these few pictures taken by Jenny K Photography & Design. 

It seriously was simply awesome.

I wish it had been longer.

Blog retreats are so much fun, I definitely feel like a fish out of water when I go, but I guess I'm lucky that bloggers are all nice slash awesome slash hilarious slash rad people and they accept my awkward shyness with open arms. 

But, more on this later. 

Have you gone to any awesome blog retreats or conferences lately?

If so, which one? and where? I'd love to hear about them! I'm always up for a fun bloggy getaway!

RANDOM RANDOMNESS AND A GIVEAWAY WINNER.

Hello friends! 

I was trying to think of something funny to say to start this blog post, but I'm not feeling the magic right now, so I will just tell you about my day. {yes, I will tell you who won the giveaway also}

Today, I got my new cast... It's pink. 

Yep. 

Pah-retty awesome.

Oh, and I drove one of those electric wheelchairs with the Grandma baskets around Target today.

I felt pretty dang spicy. Slash, I felt really awkward, because those things make the loudest beeps when you are backing up. So, I only backed up once. Oh, and then, it broke down. Yep, I broke it. So, I was stranded in the middle of Target. I'm not allowed to put any weight any my foot for 10 weeks. That's alright, I was saved {but, I'm a professional hopper, so it would've been fine anyway}and I got to use a normal wheelchair after that. *phew* I like those better anyway. 

Oh the way home, I saw two little birds.

Look how cute they are.

I think they are in love. 

They are Love Birds.

Then I went to Tai Pan Trading and looked at cute things, and saw pretty flowers.

Then, I came home and ate some Starburst Jelly Beans.

Have you had them? 

So delicious!

Go get them, right now. 

And, while eating my jelly beans, I had this song stuck in my head.

{The music video is made with 288,00 jelly beans.}

 Okay, enough rambling.
Here's the winner of the March Group Giveaway...

I HAVE A CONFESSION...

There's been something on my mind the past couple days, and I've felt I just needed to come clean...

Imma nerd.

It's true. I even have a whole pinterest board honoring it...

Now, as much as I love Princesses and Girly Things...

{See Figure 1.}

I have this secret, well not so secret, obsession with muscle-y men fighting aliens...

{See Figure 2.}

It's true.

I'm sorry. I never meant to fool any of you.

Yes, I love Disney.

But, I also love Marvel, Star Wars, LoTR, {Oh, that's Lord of the Rings -and yes, I will be watching the whole extended trilogy this week}, Harry Potter, etc, etc...

{Captain America. I have a crush on him}

Oh, and math...

Yeah, that was one of my favorite subjects in school.

I say was, because I completed advanced math in high school, so I didn't have to take any college math courses because I got all the credit done in High School.

Oh, also, chemistry was great fun too.

{don't worry, I also was in art, choir and drama.}

Now, I hope you all understand my secret.

I'm still the same Nichelle, I just thought you all deserved to know the whole truth.

I. AM. A. NERD.

Live long and prosper, 

Nichelle

PRETTY THINGS...

Oh, you know...

Just looking at pretty things on the interweb because that's pretty much all I can do while I heal from my surgery...

DEAR BOYS...

This week on Elise's Pieces ... it's "Dear Ex-Boyfriend"...

I was really excited, but then I decided not to do that post...

Because, most of my ex-boyfriends are super lame, and I don't want to be mean to them.

So, here is my "Dear Boys Post"...

YouTube Style.

Dear WakaWaka,

We should work on communication.

Love, Ah-ah-ah

Dear Muffin Head,

You're really weird...

Love, Red Head

Dear Boys Who Want To Understand Me,

Yeah, don't even try.
Sorry about that.

Love, Me






Dear One Boy,


I don't know what to say to you, but at least we both agree Fraggle Rock is awesome.




Love, Chelle-y




Dear Dream Boy,

You're a dream to me...



Love, Dream Girl

BEHIND THE SCENES....

Sooo...

Here's a little sneak peek into my world.

My office and room are one in the same, although when I make new products, I usually spread out into the living room. I find my fingers work the fastest while I'm enjoying a chick flick.

Enjoy my little pictures!

Also, I have a date tomorrow, and I'm actually worried about what to wear...

That never happens.

Ususally, I'm like... "Meh, I'll show up in sweats, he's only dating me because he likes my red hair."

Or, "I wore this yesterday...but.. he doesn't know that. Muahaha."

I'm probably just worrying too much.

Oh, I just LOVE being a girl.

xoxo
