welcome to the real world: Warning: Reading This Blog May Cause Joy (week 6)

Hey there! I'm so incredibly sorry about the late blog post, but I got home past 11 last night and after a week full of sleeping late and getting up early, my brain just sort of shut down. Here's the blog post though(we can just pretend it's still Friday).

My week started off this past Sunday, when my friend Jade and I got to hang out after weeks of not seeing each other. We used to spend almost every second together, but since she's a year younger than me, our new schedules clash and it's so difficult to make plans :(

That day we just went to our the mall, and walked around, ate lunch, and talked about everything. We then decided that we were in desperate need of a Starbucks (you must know the feeling), so we went over to Barnes and Nobles to sit down and enjoy a trente chai latte. No I don't normally drink a trente, don't worry:)

However Starbucks has a little flaw, believe it or not. They always spell my name wrong. I mean come on, how hard is it to spell Ana? Seriously, what is the world coming to. I took a picture just to prove it:

Seeing her was the best way to spend my Sunday, I really miss having her around. I think high school has made me realize just how much my friends mean to me, and it hit me hard the first few weeks. However, it's also resulted in me trying much harder to plan lunch dates and times to just hang out with the people I don't see too often. I guess it makes me love them even more when I do see them.

My overall week after that is seriously just a haze of school, soccer, and very little sleep. I think that clocks in school are specially programmed to go even slower than they're supposed to. The little men that move the clock hands are probably paid to make each minute longer. That's not fair.

In contrast to that, I'm going to record something quite enjoyable that was a great way for me to end my tiresome week. Last night, I went to a college soccer game with Ash and two of her friends that I now go to school with(we're friends as well, I can't seem to form my sentences correctly today:)

The game was super intense, and I loved watching the girls play. It was really inspirational. Being with my friends made it all the more fun, as did the whole bucket of popcorn that I devoured by myself.

In case you're curious, they won the game 1-0, and it was a brilliant goal. I unfortunately forgot to take a video. I know, tsk tsk Ana.

Because my week began on Sunday, I think that means I can end it on Saturday. That's today(although we're pretending it's Friday, ok?)

Today I had violin lessons, and after seven years, I'm finally beginning to love my instrument.

Afterwards, my dad and I painted my desk lamp and bedside table, and I can't wait for them to dry! They're so pretty and shiny. (They're white, but still). I also scavenged around our garage and found some unique fairy lights. Our garage is like a junkyard, and sometimes one can find the coolest treasures in there. Maybe one day I'll do a little room tour, although I need to finish up my room design first. Oh Ash, that's a good idea. Look at me, I'm like a little light bulb :)

To finish off, and to finally write my blog post, I've decided to use my last lush bath bomb and take a bath. Of course... What else would I do with a bath bomb...

It's such a beautiful one as well, and it splits into two pieces. This particular bath bomb is typically used at night, and it's making me quite sleepy although it's only noon. Oopsies.

If you'd like you can check it out here. I've used it twice and it's amazing. I'm a bit lush obsessed, but then again, who isn't?

Alright, there are the highlights of my week. I've also come to realize that I truly love taking photos for blog posts.I'm afraid I might go overboard, but that's alright. One can never have too many pretty pictures. Speaking of pictures, I’m going to finish off with a cute little warning about our blog.Instead of consuming, lets make believe that it says reading, shall we?
