Laying Low

Hey guys!

So I have a song to share with you!





I wanna put on a record
I never heard before
Shut off my phone and lock the door
Drink every word like a bottle of wine
Til my soul's so drunk it's passed out on the floor





Tonight I'm laying low
I'm laying low
In a world that moves so fast
We forget to take it slow
Don't wanna look in the mirror
Wonder where did she go
So I'm taking my time
Tonight I'm laying low





Don't wanna put on any make-up
Don't wanna brush my hair
Leave those high heels off my feet and just not care
Wanna dance to the rhythm of the raindrops
Falling on the rooftop now
They're easy to miss when everything's so loud



Tonight I'm laying low
I'm laying low
In a world that moves so fast
We forget to take it slow
Don't wanna look in the mirror
Wonder where did she go
So I'm taking my time
Tonight I'm laying low




Wanna take a deep breathe in
And just let it go

Awkward and Awesome // Workouts, Exercise, But Mostly Running





________________AWKWARD________________

Long skirts get tangled up around your legs and trip you, 
short skirts tend to fly up when you run, 
denim skirts refuse to behave...

The price of running shoes O.O

When you're sick and can't run and its driving you crazy

Or even worse, when you twist your ankle or something so that you CAN'T run or lift or whatever, but you're still healthy and just have to sit around 

People who walk to abreast on the trails and won't. get. over. to. let. you. through.

When you have your feet stuck under something so you can do situps and your foot slips out and you knee yourself in the face


When you're doing pushups and you underestimate how close the ground is and instead of having your chin up, you're looking down so you knock your forehead into the floor
...
And then the hollow clunk makes you laugh, so you drop onto the ground and your siblings find you lying face first on the floor laughing into the floorboards. 


When someone you don't like can do more pushups then you and you sit there with mixed feelings of rage, annoyance, disgust, and slight respect
(Note, it has to be a fairly impressive amount of pushups to get the respect part since I can do about jack diddly in the push up area)


 People who don't clean of the machine before they leave...Yay. Sweat. My favorite. :(

 People who change the channel on the TV. 
"Hey buddy. Trying to watch Cutthroat kitchen here, not CNN!"
But do we say that? No. Because that would be rude.


When you're having a lovely run and then step in a dip and twist your ankle. Not enough for it to be hurt, just enough to throw you off your run and make it achy


When you try and shower after a work out and your family decided to run laundry and the dishwasher and there. is. no. hot. water.....in December.

New socks

NEW RUNNING SHOES

The burn in your legs after a long run that makes you feel alive

Also the adrenaline rush after you've finished that makes you want to climb the side of the house and dance on the roof (PRO TIP: DON'T)

The pleasant ache of muscles after a good day

Also the feeling when you stretch and you start to feel your tendons burn

When someone says they can do more situps then you so you end up having a contest in the hallway... and some poor boys walk up to see all these girls crowded around counting...
"49..50...51..."
(And for  your information I won...by a lot.)

Sweat. 
I know, I know. 
Its stinky, wet, and just generally disgusting. 
But it means your out there, living life. 
And that makes all the difference

Smoothies with Bananas in them. Or peaches and mangoes....

5 Songs I've Been Listened To Lately

How interesting...a blog post....on music...that ISN'T done by Lia. 



The Sad Song:
I Drive Your Truck
FYI: Soldier songs make me cry. 





The Fandom Song:
Tightrope from The Greatest Showman 
I thought this was the song they played while they were dancing, but its actually during that part



The Love Song:
What Ifs 
I love the message behind this song



The Song I've Listened To A Lot, But Not By Choice
Everybody's Got Somebody
you know what you did, Lia



The Funny Song
The Dumb Song

Someday

Hello peoples :D


Remember how I said on my other blog that my favorite song from the Hunchback of Notre Dame musical was Someday?

Well here I am with the lyrics!!!







I used to believe
In the days I was naïve
That I'd live to see
A day of justice dawn
And though I will die
Long before morning comes
I'll die while believing still
It will come when I am gone




Someday
When we are wiser
When the world's older
When we have learned
I pray
Someday we may yet live
To live and let live


Someday
Life will be fairer
Need will be rarer
Greed will not pay
Godspeed
This bright millennium
On its way
Let it come someday



Someday
When we are wiser 
When the world's older
When we have learned
I pray
Someday we may yet live
To live and let live



One day

Someday. 

Soon.




Hope you enjoy!

Our Goals for 2018//WE'RE BACK!!!

Hi everybody! We're back! *shoots off giant confetti gun*



A New Posting Schedule:  
We'll be TRYING to post every Monday (and occasional Saturdays if we have over flow!) and while the first and last posts of the month will be dual narrated, we'll be alternating between Lia and I for the middle, so you should get at least one post by each of us (instead of Lia posting everything and me going missing.)

A New Monthly Theme!
Last year, we tried to have a religious theme for each month (Sacred Heart, Holy Souls, Etc) but this year we're going to shake things up and have a Marian theme for each month. We'll either pick a Marian title after a major feast day that month, something going on that month (Ex. Mother's Day) or a lesser known feast happening that month. This months theme will be Our Lady of Lourdes, since that feast day is on the 11th.



KAT'S GOALS:

  • To actually get my posts up on time
  • To go somewhere new
  • To do something spontaneous every once and a while


LIA'S GOALS:
  • To update posts in a timely matter so that Kat doesn't put words in my mouth 
  • To not get so annoyed with Kat 
  • To not wack Kat upside the head with something heavy   (too late-L)
  • Hi, its actually Lia now. This might be actual goals of mine now. She knows what she did.
  • Have a monthly posting schedule that I actually follow. 


What our stats are right now!

  • 15 followers! WOW!
  • Over 8k page views! 10k is creeping up on us pretty quick! (I wonder what we should do to celebrate?)
  • So far, the U.S. is where most of our pageviews come from, but Russia is a close second. :D

Awkward and Awesome: No. 6



 Awkward
  •  Trying to whine about how little you got done and people are impressed instead. No. No that's not what I meant. Hear me whine!

    And its not like you feel great about it because people are amazed. You just feel disappointed in yourself because you didn't meet all your goals and now you can't even whine about it.
     
  • Accidentally making a loud noise....in the middle of the night.....when all your family is asleep.
     
  • Making instant potatoes or a box cake for dinner because people are over and they compliment you on the delicious potatoes or the lovely cake.

    well.....thanks.
     
  • Getting chicken pox after 17 years of avoiding it
     
  • Walking back into a room when you've been gone for five minutes and hearing the four year old say "You know how things sometimes fall all by themselves?"  (It was my phone. -K)
      
  • When a cute boy and you get up from the communion rail at the same time and you do that awkward 'who goes first' dance. *face palm*
     
  • Never finishing your awkward and awesome post so it is filled with things that happened months ago.
     
  • Snorting a little too loudly as you laugh at your now really, REALLY old Awkward and Awesome post




Awesome


  • Making instant potatoes because people are over for dinner and you don't have time to peel a entire bag of potatoes. And you just hope nobody will notice... And then they compliment you on them. 

    And I just sat there like...I feel very smug and also slightly evil.

     
  • I have also made box cakes for parties AT OUR OWN HOUSE because I was lazy/procrastinated/was busy getting other stuff ready and then that cake was the first thing that was eaten and the thing that everyone came back for seconds for.

    Granted, I have a secret when making box cakes to make them extra yummy and moist but I can't share it. Tis a secret it tis!

    [No, it's not. I was out of vegetable oil, so I used melted coconut oil with my chocolate box cake and it ended up moist with just a hint of coconut. Enough that people could recognized SOMETHING was there, but not enough for the coconut haters to find it.]
     
  • Clean hair on a windy day. (When you're facing INTO the wind)
     
  • When your in a great mood and dancing around your room like a crazy to whatever is on the radio
     
  • Doing things with your friends
     
  • A good game of truth or dare. Let the shame and secrets flow
     
  • An AMAZING story
     
  • Or a good movie
     
  • Or a web story (Like Emma Approved)
     
  • Or this song!!!

Where Did The Time Go?

Suddenly it's 2018

This year has just passed by so quickly. I don't even know where to start. 

Our little blog has 13 followers now! Thank you guys for sticking with us. I know we have been posting much lately but with school and generally growing up things, its hard to find time to sit down and write a post. 

I certainly am going to post more this coming year. :D :D 

Kat and I have exciting things happening this year. This year, we are directing our church's Epiphany play. Which is a little terrifying!!! 

WE'RE GRADUATING THIS YEAR!!!!!

Who decided it would be a good idea to release us on the world???? (jk jk jk) Then this fall, Kat will be headed off to college and me....... I have no idea. It has caused me many a gray hair just thinking about it. My hair is practically white!!!!!!!! (I kid, I kid) Still brown :)

Have a Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!

Lia




Remember when staying up until Midnight used to be a big thing? Wow.

  • Lia turned 18! YIKES
