Clark Girls

Oh it's the little things that mean the most. All my entire life I have wanted an hourglass. Not just any hourglass but a red sand hourglass like the one on the Wizard of Oz, because that is absolutely the only way to go. And what do i spy with my little eye when I walked into HomeGoods tonight? Yes! A red sand hourglass! Could it be? I jumped for joy and luckily I had the love of my life there to share my little special moment with, and yes, he agreed I absolutely had to have the red one even if it didn't match a single thing in our house, I needed to stay true to my dream and not settle for a more matchy-match color. So for $16.99 it was mine all mine and now I can check that off my list of things I am always searching for. I love checking things off lists, most especially red sand hourglasses :)

aren't they precious? i love them. I would have bought i french barbie... but there wasn't one. so i settled with the Russian Barbie. and i was going to buy this adorable cow! but it turned out he was a puppet, and he mooed... so i got a raccoon. because i love raccoons, and who has a stuffed animal raccoon? No one i no. i also bought some new Jasmin pants. these ones are gray and and made out of like... yoga pants material. i got them at a sporting goods store. i spent lots of money. barbie was 40 euros... oh well. she is pretty. and i am going to tey my VERY best to keep her in her box. i love her fur muff and fur hat. and her red lips. but i think she should have dark curly hair. because she is supposed to be russian, duhhh. they had a italian barbie, but i didn't like her as much. Tomorrow we go to Italy! we are going to get italian ice cream! ans i will hopefully find a cute back to school dress. and a cute stupid senior dress. stupid senior pictures.

it is a raining today. how beautiful. we were going to hit Italy today, i am sure glad we decided to go tomorrow.

last night we got all gussied up and hit... Antibes, it's near Cannes. and we went to this bar called Pom Pom where they had some crazy lights and dancers and music and it was awesome! i imagined it would be something you would find in new orleans. which makes sense because Louisiana is French based... well anyway. it was me, Julie, Julie's older sister Melanie, and Melanie's friend whose name i cant remember... but i cant spell it anyway so it doesn't matter. and so we all got something to drink... Julie got some wierd Banana drink that was pretty but tasted... not so pretty. melanie got a Gin Fizz, hers was by far the prettiest. and Mel's friend and i got Margaritas. I thought 1) hay! tori likes these! 2) its frozen! and its really hot! 3) there are too many choices. well Tequila is a powerful substance. and these drinks were STRONG, so i was feeling a little... silly. so i decided i needed food. but the Pom Pom only has alcohol and ice cream!? really really! but the ice cream looked magical. but i knew that ice cream with my margarita was a bad bad idea... so i payed my 12,90 euros and got the hell outta dodge ') (insert giggle here) so i made us go get fries because i needed them. and lucky enough there was a place near the club we were going to! so Julie and i split thing of french fries. but then there was the picture of the delectable cheese burger staring me in the face... so i said julie i need that burger. so i went to get it. i ordered it. she took my card. my card was denied!? its a good thing Melanie came to check on me and paid the 2,50 for me... i payed her back this morning .) but let me tell you. Burgers and Fries just taste sooo good in france. and they make me happy. im sorry i cant help it. i was told i was a true american .)))) great. i cant help it. i just love a good buger. after that i felt much less tilty. so we went into the club. where the meanie guy who lets people in, cut me off! and i was in back, so i got seprated! i was like im with them! im american! help! Julie!!! haha and they let me in .) the club was very cute but kinda boring... idk. it was okay. i was more interested in watching other people so i kept getting in trouble for not dancing. i cant help that i find it much more entertaining to watch other people dance then for me to dance myself. and my shoes were Hurting my feet. and i understand why clubs in america you have to be like over 21, because teenagers really are annoying. they really weren't annoying but if i was older and i went to a club and it was filled with like 17 year olds, i would be annoyed. there was a 2.500 euro bottle of champaign? i think it was!!! CRAZY! and a bottle of gray goose was like... 180 or something. 5 euros for a coke. it was funny. well that is all i can think of! i hope you enjoy my crazy adventures of last night! and i hope its not inappropriate? i decided it wasn't... but you never know.

Hi! It's me Tori! I know it has been way too long. But I have been oh so busy. I have been entertaining friends, visiting friends hanging out with friends. You get the jist. I went whitewater rafting just east of Chatanooga. It was fuuun. I also bought new Hello Kitty chapsticks. I didn't think I was too old for it and my mom agreed. It is now hanging from my badge that I have to wear to work so I can brainwash all my babies into loving hello kitty. It is bubblegum flavored, but it kind of tastes like banana. Anyway, my mom and me and mick and Shelby went to see Salt last night. It was good, not great, but good. We had giant bags of popcorn for dinner and 2liters of cokes. It was amazing. I almost wished I had also gotten milk duds, but that may have been over the top. We also shopped and I tried on some dresses at VonMaur. Two very goood rehearsal dinner potential dresses. The one i really like is a cream color so I don't know when else I could wear it? Definitely not to a wedding. So it is a conundrum, because it is more exepensive than the second option but it is definitely cuter! Such a tough choice. Good thing I have a few weeks left to decide. Jake is out of town! He should be back tonight, but has been gone since last Saturday so I definitely miss him. He went to OshKosh, which is an airshow, but I don't really know why you need to go there for a week, but what do I know.

Oh! I also got this amazing new juicy purse! it was awesome. And it is small! Which is abnormal for me! I also convinced my mom to buy an awesome new purse as well! Hers is Brighton and just what she has been looking for. I texted Jake to thank him for the anniversary gift! He just loves it when I pick things out and buy them for myself. And I love doing it! I always get just what I want!

Anyway, what has everyone been up to this summer??

Oh! And I am going skydiving next Friday!! FUUUUUN!

I thought all those pic's would make Steph homesick! I love the Monaco Picture...

Getting ready!

We went to Monaco today! but it is Sunday so nothing is open. but that is okay. it was still beautiful! we ate at McDonalds for lunch! yippie! haha. and Julie and i were going to eat dinner with one of her friends but 1) her friend ended up not being able to come and 2) julie and i were still FULL from lunch. so we are going to go some other night. lots of English is in my brain! i need to get it out and start thinking FRENCH! .) but i bought Birkenstocks! they purple! but i think i want some just like regular Burks now to! idk maybe when we go back to Nice and have time ill try on the regular ones and see if i likey. Monte Carlo Monaco is really Beautiful! it is where the One james bond movie was done, ya know the one names Monte Carlo!? and the Formula 1 race. and yeah. it is pretty. PIerre was like Americans really like this place. and Julie was like well i really like this place. and it made me giggle. and did you know that Monaco is its own country. but they still speak french. and that Grace Kelly was Princess of there. and lets see. what else can i tell all you fine folks. OH that at the McDonalds a Pigeon got inside!!! it was AWESOME. but then it flew over my head and that did not make me to happy. but oh well. these is a picture of the Pigeon in MD's on facebook if you wanna see. okay well. i cant think, it is 00:09 and we are waking up at 9:05 to go to the Beach! AHHHH! we haver been sleeping till like 11:45... oh well. it will be good for us. and we are just going to the beach so we can sleep there.

I am sick! well not really. just allergies or a cold or sinus infection or something. But in my dream last night i had to go to the doctors. and they told me i couldn't eat for a week. yup. awesome. maybe that is how i will get better, by not eating. hahaha NOT. that will make me SICK SICK SICK. but anyway. i hate blowing my nose. it sucks. Haha I just squirted medicine up my nose. Yippie. and i guess it is like made of sea water Yippie Kiia Ahyyyy! haha. I am hungry. i hope lunch is soon .)

last night we were going to go see Inception but tickets were sold out. but i decided that was fine by me because it was going to be in French and i did not really dig that too much. so we went to Finacchio (not sure how to spell) and i got a Nutella Crepe. we were walking the VERY long walk back to the car and a rat ran across the sidewalk! it was great! we had taken the above ground subway thing to the ice cream store but then we were like 10 min early for the subway thing so we started walking and we just ended up walking all the way to the car. tonight i think we are going to a Club... blahhh. and i do not have3 appropriate shoes hehehehehe and i probably do not have appropriate clothing attire either! so idk what im going to do about that problem!! not go?? sounds fine to me!!!!! i am not liking living out of my suitcases it is to hard and confusing on my head. but i am going to blame it on the fact that this stupid like puffy futon cover is always trying to eat my stuff... i really need new sandals. bad bad bad. my poor huaraches... and i do not get to do my own laundry... which is really really strange. i have always done my own laundry... i cant really think of anything else to tell you...

i wrote that earlier today! but now for more.

as of now we are not going to go to a club! because Melanie (julies sister) and her friends decided to go next week which it fine by me because i am tired. but we are going to go out to eat with Julies friends. but i am not going to be able to understand anyone i am guessing because there will be like 6-10 of us or something and Julie wont care to speak english...
i did buy THREE NEW PAIRS OF SHOES THOUGH!!!!!! and one pair was 50% off and one 40%! i am not sure how much i like the first black pair... but they would have been perfect for my outfit tonight... oh well. the two black ones are heels and the brown ones are sandals. and the cute black ones in the middle and the end brown ones are Genuine Leather (dessus et semelle interieure) so i think they will last forever because they are nice and not CHEAP.

this is the very cute backyard! my computer doesnt have the best camera but yuo get the idea.

Brad Pitt finally shaved off that nasty beard he's been sporting in some form or another for the last two years! Hallelujah, hot Brad is back!
