that awkward moment...

...when you realize that every single one of your friends that has taken the quiz you made turned out to be most like YOU. Seriously. This is sad.

And since YOU happened to make the quiz in the first place...

Oh, dear. :P

Well, apparently it's not as accurate as I thought it was. Not that y'all *aren't* like me, it's just 6 people in a row turning up to be most like me is a little...unexpected. :D

So...sorry! ;) Maybe in a couple years I'll make another one that's not so...biased (for lack of a better word :). But you had fun...right? So that's all that matters. :D

feel like takin' another quiz?? :P

Yeah, I made another Coulter sister quiz...:) Sorry, I just have way too much fun with them.

You might remember this quiz that Gab and I made a couple years back (under the names HerMajesty (gab), MissVivi (me), JooJoo (annette), and SillyGal (josie)). It wasn't that accurate...so I decided to make a new and updated version. :) So now *you* can know which Coulter sister you are most like.

I'd take it and show you the results, but I know I'd just be me. And it wouldn't be any fun. :D So I want you to go take it and tell me who you get in the comments (especially if you get me :P). 

So please. Waste 15 minutes of your time to find out which sister you're most like. :P 

(if you really do have school to do, then it's actually probably best that you don't waste you time...right now...wait till later and then waste your time. :D)

Which Coulter sister are you most like?

There we go. :)

 Love,

~Vivi~

that orange UVA hat...:D

It's Bug's favorite thing to wear. And so, it only seemed right that, for his birthday this past Sunday, we make him a baseball cake.
Yes, our little baby bug had his 3rd birthday. Here are some great pictures to sum him and his special day up. :)

aren't his eyes *lovely*?

sorry, had to 'erase' his name that we put on the rim. that's why it looks foggy in all the hat pictures. :D

notice Gab and mom's scared looks when i hit the pinata. :D

The little blonde girl is 'A' from Pure Joy. We had their family over for his 'party'. :)

please excuse how weird i look in all of them.
And Gab and I were all fancied up because we went to the swim team banquet before. :)

I think he had a wonderful birthday. :) Happy late birthday again, Bug!! I can't believe you're 3. 

only in the coulter family do...

...people (that will remain unnamed :P) make 'caramel popcorn' so that there's so much caramel that it's nearly inedible and will take quite some time to get it out of your teeth...

...you and your mother make up the following limericks to demonstrate how easy and fun they can be to your sister:

my mom is the best in the world

i like it best when her hair is curled

sometimes it is straight

i guess that's her fate

i hate it so much that i hurled

i once knew a boy named bug-bug

who wouldn't give me a hug-hug

i asked for a kiss

he said, 'no, little miss!'

so i had to go kiss my pug-pug

(gross? yes. fun? amazingly. :D)

...you flip through a Weight Watchers magazine to look at hair styles (believe it or not, they actually do have some nice hair in those...sometimes)...

...2-year-olds go around the house saying stuff like 'youtube', 'iPad', and 'massages', and then go and laugh their heads of at a stupid joke that really isn't at all funny. :D

...people fall asleep on the couch after school and not get up till the next morning...

...you look up after nearly an hour of writing an outline, only to realize that you only have 1 roman numeral so far...and it goes on for over 2 and 1/2 pages...*sigh*...

...you realize that you're more tired after sitting through a 1 and 1/2 hour chat than after a 2 hour swim practice...

...you get breakfast at McDonalds and order like 6 apple pies and 8 hashbrowns...(shhh, don't tell anyone. :P)

So...is it just me or are we really the only family weird enough to do these things? :D

~Vivi~

the three little pigs - shakespeare style :P

It's one of those rare moments that I feel I learned something useful in Literature chat. :P Just kidding...

Watch it, if you have 8 minutes. And if you don't...watch it anyway. :D

my letter!

Sorry this took so long, Jo. :P

Here's how it works: If you comment on this post and tell me you want a letter, then I'll give you one and you have to make a list of 10 things you love that start with that letter. Miss Jo over at Scraps gave me the letter O, and, I must say, I'm thrilled I got this letter. :P It and V are up there with my favorites...

But even though I love the letter O, it's really hard to come up with 10 things I love. After all, why else would people resort to putting overalls and octopuses (I know, I know..."octopi") in the slot of the letter O in the alphabet? But I'll try my best...

Olympics (who doesn't?)
Our Lady
Outlet Malls :P
Owl City
Orlando Bloom (in POTC)
Outer Banks ;)

Orchestra

Oreos

Older Sisters :D

"O God Beyond All Praising" (the hymn...love that one)

(You won't believe how long that took. It ended up with a lot of Googling, asking family members/friends, and looking it up on my dictionary app...)

Anybody want a letter?

Wow. That was fun.

And no, I don't mean *just* fun...I mean fun as in "incredibly awesome, wonderfully exciting, and altogether fantastic". Guys, this conference was AMAZING.

Ok, so it looks kind of boring from the link I put up here, maybe...and, I'll admit, the only speaker/singer I had ever heard of before that was there was Audrey Assad...but still. The talks were meant for teens which means they were more fun, more relatable, and more interesting. For any of you Catholics--YOU. SHOULD. GO.

I really didn't take many pictures. In fact, I think I took 3 in all. And all of them were of the stage when no one was on it. I just didn't feel like getting out my iPod with people all around me, and music playing, and stuff like that. So I didn't.

But, for me, the weekend was WONDERFUL. Literally. Full of wonder. Guys, have you ever just really thought how our God is so big, so powerful, and so...modern? I mean, I guess to some people he seems like an old-fashioned god--you know, one that only grandmas and stuff worship. But he's not. And I think that's one of the things that really hit me this weekend. He's a God that loves any kind of worship. Not just hymns and stuff. So we can sing as loud as we can (even if we're horrible singers), we can dance to Christian rock music, and we can have fun while we're still praising Our Lord. I was thinking while the music was playing how God might be smiling down on us. You know, kind of just looking down and smiling and nodding. And how his love was just like radiating through our voices and the music. That's what it was. It was God. And it. Was. Awesome.

So just one more thing I don't want you to forget. And if you agree, feel free to comment and tell me so. ;)

Do you know what today is?

HAPPY COW APPRECIATION DAY!

Who's planning to go to Chick-fil-a dressed like a cow?

Guess What!?!

So it's been a while. Ok, yeah, not a while while, but long enough for it to seem like a while. :P Where have I been? Well, I have some news.

First of all, we went to DC! WASHINGTON DC. Yes, the capital! And it was really fun. ;) I'll be posting tons of pictures up soon, probably day by day so that the post won't be too long. It was kind of like a mini-vacation. A fun, four day trip. Starting on Saturday and ending today. We did so much. We've been there before, but that was years ago. So this year we went to the places we never got to (except we went to 1 of the same...). Again, pictures (lots) coming soon. ;)

Second of all, the news I got while we were there. I GOT INTO YOUTH ORCHESTRA! I don't know what to think. I'm excited, yes, but I'm a little scared. Because I know it'll be really hard. But still, I'm excited. Thanks for the prayers for the audition. They must've helped. :D

So. Be back soon and see ya later!
