Of Funny Road Trips, Shopping Sprees,Photo Shoots, and The Upcoming First Day Of School
It seems that writing a post a day is just not in the cards for me. I just cannot commit to such task. I'm like a dog with a bone I get distracted with other events and then I seem to forget to post. -Sigh- to all you out there that can post every day, I admire you. I would kiss the ground that you walk on. I would make a sculpture of you out of cake. Before I get any creepier, let me just relay all the past and upcoming events. Starting with my very awesome road trip to Grapevine Outlet Mall. After many hours of trying to find our hotel, we came across some old hundred looking hotel that looked like the rust was eating it up. My brother and I stared at each other wondering the same thing in our minds...”Are we being punked?" Sadly, very, very sadly no we were not being punked. That ugly ass hotel that we were parked in front of was our hotel. Not the gorgeous Embassy Hotel that my dad stopped by to ask for directions but this ugly ass hotel. It's not as though my dad was looking for cheap hotels...no. The pictures of the hotel were misleading. It made the hundred year old looking hotel look as though it was brand spanking new. After a lot of convincing for my mom that it was not so bad (I felt she was convincing herself more than my brother and I), we got out of the car and went in. All I have to say is that if the outside did not speak for itself well the inside just about put tears to my eyes. I was literally going take the keys, my bag, and drive off and use my own credit card to book a hotel. I guess my parents felt the same way too because within the next 12 hours, they were already booking a hotel in the very gorgeous Embassy hotel. The next day when I stepped inside the Embassy, I just about fainted. The outside was beautiful but the inside was just phenomenal. It was equipped with amazing fountains, restaurants, and a complimentary breakfast to die for. I was in Heaven. I could have stayed in that hotel forever but I was reminded the main reason why we were on this vacation... BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING. My kind, loving, parents provided my brother and I with $200 each to shop our little hearts out at Grapevine Outlet. Now I happen to be a Grapevine Outlet Virgin so when I walked in for the first time, I was in a loss of words. So, so many stores to shop from were all that came to my mind and many sales. Sadly, after a day, I had yet to be wowed by the stores that we were going to. Up until we hit the store Papaya and I was complete in love. I spent about an hour there bought and $60 worth of clothes. Then I hit Forever 21. I was so intimidated by the store. Never in my life have I personally seen a Forever 21 that big. So many sections to choose from, I was just too overwhelmed. To say that my shopping at Grapevine was amazing would be an understatement. But my shopping could not compare to my brother's and my dad's. My brother bought three jeans, two dressy pants, eight shirts, and a pair of shoes. My dear father who stated that Grapevine wasn't all that bought three jeans, ten shirts, and two shoes o_O. My loving mother bought eight shirts, three pants, and two shoes. Now Meghin bought four shirts, one dress, two jeans, one scarf, three necklaces, one pair of earrings, and a purse. (I was disappointed in the quantity of my things but I love the quality so I can't complain). Like all good things, it came to an end. On day three, we packed our bags, checked out the hotel (reluctantly), and we were on our way back home. So I could have posted something days ago but I will admit I was lazy and I came to the realization that my photo shoot was in a few days and I had yet to do anything to my hair. After a few phone calls that my amazing mother made, my hair stylist was at my door and ready to work her magic on me. Now of course with this photo shoot taking the BFF with me was a most. My BFF is like a fashion prodigy and without her I don't know what crazy things I would be wearing. Normally with these events all my sisters would be in attendance but they were on vacation so no grudges because they deserved it. The day of my photo shoot, I was nervous. I mean so many questions were buzzing in my head. How do I pose in front of the camera? Will I look natural in front of the camera? Will my photographer be nice? All worries were forever diminished once I stepped in the building. My poses, makeup, wardrobe changes were helped with by BFF, mother, and photographer, and my photographer was amazing. Now I am just waiting for the photos, that I know will be great, to arrive. As the final days of summer were nearing, I spent them with my true friends by doing many stupid things and making many new memories. This summer happened to be one of the best. I'm sad to see those late summer nights go but it's time to finish off a chapter. High School. Tomorrow is the first day of school. I'm going to walk in that building a Senior. All my goals and plans towards my future will slowly be decided this year. I’m excited, anxious, and nervous. No matter how old I get, first day of school jitters always get to me. As of now, the chances of me getting much sleep tonight are slim to none. Sleep being a concern but what to wear being another. Aside from those obstacles, I am ready for tomorrow. So I may not post everyday but I will be posting nonetheless. My life this year will be life changing and I’ll be damned if it's not documented.
