Wishful And Way Back Wednesday! :)

Dallas pics coming soon! But, wanted to participate in Wishful and Way Back Wed first! :)

First...the topic of the week is... "I wish I was 6 years old and going trick or treating, and my costume would be...."

A Princess! I know that sounds cliche.. but really.. When I was little, I wanted to be a princess SO BADLY.. but not just any princess... the costume from Toys R Us that was pink and had a light up magic wand and everything! Buuuut that costume may have been like 60 bucks and my mom said no (rightfully so). I was still a princess, but oh how I wanted that Toys R Us Costume with the magical blinky wand! haha.. I'm being overdramatic and I definitely had some awesomesauce costumes as a kid, but for some reason just thought of that princess costume.. haha... (One year, I was a popple. Bad choice. If you're my age, you remember popples...and you likely didn't want to be one for Halloween. I was a weird kid sometimes. Admittedly).

Head over to Kelsey's blog to link your Wishful Wed post! :)

And Kelsey just got back from vacay and posted a fun pic of her kayaking! It reminded me of when I kayaked...and it's so fitting for a Way Back Wednesday post b/c it was 2008 (so not THAT long ago...whatever) and it also features Lauren.. who just decided to book a trip to come here this weekend for Homecoming and Halloween!

Before you start thinking "aw how fun" lemme tell you.. Comedy ensued. Let me set the stage...haha...It was the 4th of July in Chicago and we were going to kayak the river with a group and also see some fireworks at the end of the river path, then circle back and complete the trip. It was about 100 6 miles. Here we are beforehand...ready to go and excited!
Fast forward about an hour and picture us drenched in stinky water, fumbling with our paddles which seemed to do everything except what we wanted to do... getting yelled at by drunken partygoers on boats. It was pretty comical b/c we were still giving it all we had. Until. We got to the end.. and realized they'd shown the fireworks early and we missed them. haha.. yeah. Lauren and I exchanged an exasperated look of "Nooooo..." I think the words "Is it lame if we get out and walk back?" may have left at least one of our mouths. And the best part is.. I'm uber competitive.. so I kept trying to paddle to the head of the group and nearly kill myself! LOL! We made it, but I have to say... I don't plan to kayak like that again. Some of the things I muttered weren't ladylike. I blame the kayak for bringing out my evil side. haha.. *nervous* I'd love to sea kayak..without a set path or large group of super-athletes other kayakers. ;)

And one extra little random thing.. Lookie what I found at Target tonight for uber cheap (21 dollars)! How cute is this little shirt dress?! Please imagine it with tights, black boots, a black belt and a little short, gold necklace! Target and I have been BFFs this fall-they've had some super cute stuff lately! :)

Happy Wednesday, blog peeps!
